    Towing with an old truck

    @bucket no, the 2500HD springs are NOT weak. I have done things with the 3 different 2500HDs that would have sent the designing engineers into cardiac arrest. I am old enough to remember that these trucks and the equivalent Fords and Dodges of the '70s and '80s moved whatever needed moving...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I don't think this one matters. If the Scotch were still in a barrel, the extra years would make a difference. Wine continues to mature in the bottle but whisky (Scotch doesn't have the "e" like other whiskey) is pretty much going to stay the same once it is bottled. As far as I know anyway...

    Indy Car to Nascar? MotoGP to World Superbike?

    1988 Camaro

    That is a 1988 and is either throttle body or TPI. All Camaro engines were fuel injected in '88. In '85 there were fuel injected Z28s but the lower level Camaro 305s were carbureted.

    Why can’t I post wheels for sale?

    Your post count is too low for you to have access to selling in the Classifieds.

    1987 Chevy V10 steering wander

    And if the alignment tech is a good one he may just find some other problem(s). Mine was pretty bad until I replaced the stabilizer. Yes, I saw you already did that. I had also but using a "stock" replacement stabilizer did nothing. A heavy duty, Skyjacker stabilizer set up for larger tires...

    We like to call this Percussive Calibration. Operators in the plant love to use it on level switches, pressure switches and sometimes on transmitters. I&E Techs hate this.

    And if/when I do this again I am most likely going to use your method.

    Toe adjustment 1987 V10

    All of that is good advice but if it is toed out so badly he can clearly see it and he is out of adjustment, something is WRONG. Getting a perfect measurement won't help him if he cannot adjust any further. I confess I didn't measure mine. When I replaced the tie rod ends I adjusted it by...

    Toe adjustment 1987 V10

    My tie rods are both screwed in pretty far but there is some thread left on both. Unless you have some incorrectly matched components I don't see how you could run out of adjustment. Just crawled under the nose of it to check, I have about 3/4 inch of thread on the driver's side and about 1/2...

    Those boards were milled on a circle saw mill. Extremely cool. And I Love that Truck.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    @legopnuematic is 100% correct here. You need to do both sides. When you seal one side only you will have a moisture imbalance and the boards will curl. This will happen inside a house, it will happen outside in a truck bed. Our members who live in more arid climates may have a different...

    Shou Sugi Ban/Yakisugi? I just bought a torch large enough to do this, about to try it on the lumber coming off my sawmill. Are you going to add any type of oil or sealer? And did you burn it on the other side and ends also? It looks really good by the way.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Sorry, @JamesSam forgot to answer that part. I don't know about getting him on the phone. He and I communicated by email. He sure knows a lot and he helped me out big time...but he seems like he doesn't enjoy communication. I may be wrong on that but that was my impression. Again, my...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I have...thoughts. 1. If it started after the shop fixed your biggest problem (it didn't run!) then it is related to either the fix or some adjustment they made. That adjustment was either accidental or intentional. 2. You were just singing the praises for this shop (as well you should) so if I...
