Before I started my engine swap journey, a local shop told me they get 30 hours for jasper short block swap. At 75.00 an hour, I took a different fork in the road. Eric

Issue was resolved. 2 1/2 qts. low in the auto trans. I am guessing heat built up? Never happened again. Eric

You Sir have awesome skills! Eric

Thanx for the continued posts. I went with the Monroe pending a re spring/ 2" lift coming soon. Eric

What you are proposing is whole lot of work. Emphasis on work. Any chance of you buying a 4x4 and swapping in your good parts rather than your idea? Just saying. Eric

That would be a no on the headers. Heat soaked starter? Meaning it just got hot? I can check the connections easy enough. Solution for starter? Eric

So I ran the square down to the UPS store yesterday to send a package. It is about 12 miles. New motor ran great, temps normal. Was inside prolly 15 minutes, came out turned key, no go. Motor labored to turn over like it was hot? Hood up not hot everything seemed normal. Sat in the truck...

Painted mine gloss black when the motor was out. Eric

Of the light fixture or the brewery? lol You can google 8' led replacement for flourecent and get plenty of info Eric

I pulled out the center section of 3 wide 8' flourecent and replaced with a made to fit fixture holding 4 4' led bulbs. Brewery has never been so bright! DQ'd the outer to fixtures. Fixture and bulbs 99.00 from local electric supply house. Eric

I just put monroes on my 87 shot box, I am happy. Eric

Nice top end! I shop napa as well and if the store does not have it they can get it in a couple days. There are 4 napa stores near me and they are all very different. The one I shop is next to the local Southern states and is the best by far. Eric

Short of re sanding to color and blending in, how do you feel about a hood mounted bug deflector? Eric

Thank the lord the cooler was safe! Eric

Let me know how you get on. The same. Eric

Thanx for the replies, that's why I asked. My gut said they did not want to mess with it cause it was old. There is a really good spring shop near me that does spring lifts cheaper than you can do itwith a kit. I will call them and see what they have to say. Eric

So after putting on some new tires I took her to the shop to get alignment checked. They put it on the rack and the results were all is good, castor camber is out with no adjustment? How do you correct castor camber? New king pins? Truck drives well, no wandering or pulling, has cut the...

Step 1 remove engine step 2 mineral spirits and a wire brush step 3 repeat step 4 paint

Given that 90% of painting is surface prep, not product. Is the por15 worth the money over rustoleum? I have surface scale and normal lack of factory paint for a 87. Opinions? Eric

I had a 77 924. I loved that car. It ate a hand stacked stone fence in the Berk shire mountains one night. I drove it out there and spent the next 4 weekends helping the owner re stack his fence. Those were the days. lol Eric

The 928 was also prone to water pump implosion. The cost of the pump and labor to r&r put most all of them on used car lots, cheap for a porsche and running hot if driven more than a few miles. Eric

I stuffed a 292 into my m37. A popular conversion prior to the perkins 4BT option. It was unstoppable. In 4 low 1st gear you could get out and walk faster than the truck went. Eric

So I am doing all 4 shocks on my 87 shortbed. Napa's best vs. rough country, any opinions? Napas best shocks are made by Monroe I think and I got quoted 53.00 each with my discount. Tough country are 50.00 each free shipping. Truck has no lift kit. Thanx in advance Eric

sorry guys I forgot that without pictures your truck does not exist. lol will get some squarebody porn for you this weekend. Eric

So today I finally finished stuffing the new motor in. Fixing the leaking trans cooler lines, the leaking fuel lines, and the leaking front brake line. I painted my ralley wheels black, put on a set of 31x10.50 hankook dynapro MT tires, new front caliper and pads. Next weekend I move onto...
