    Good Ospho (phosphoric) and epoxy Test

    I've used Ospho on my manifolds. These had surface rust on them (LS manifolds). Painted with high heat Rustoleum. Later they did start to flake. But exhaust on a daily who cares. He's taking what appears to be clean metal and applying ospho......why? If I'm wrong point it out. I do like...

    ever heard of cryogenically freezing your blades? I've heard about it since the '90's. Aside from blades, there are test results out there with race engines that have been treated this way as well. What got me on it was the "Hype" about cryo softball bats. Neat process to read up on.

    Need really good, really cheap shocks that will install themselves and last forever.....

    for the price these are awesome with a warranty. Monroe Coil overs. Huge difference in feel and ride. Look up your vehicle and go from there. With you having a 4" lift, you may have to call them, but I'm sure they've been through it before and can tell you what you need. I have them on my...

    whats every body using.. looking for a new stereo head unit

    I love JBL. Of course I'm biased 'cuz my mom was a sales rep at the Bamberg Germany PX in 1982 and won sales rep of the year so they gave her a set of JBL L112's (which I have). I've cranked them bad boys up with underrated/average receivers over the years.....no complaints from 13 years old...

    whats every body using.. looking for a new stereo head unit

    I'd start with 4 at the corners and go from there. With it being a crew, just adjust the front/rear balance to you being in the drivers seat.

    Front suspension mystery drone

    A neighbor pointed out the other day that my DR front wheel stuck out more than the PA side wheel. Not sure if this relates to you or not. Alignment? Following because I've got a bit of drone as well....depending on where the steering wheel is. I think mine might be the possibility of the...

    I’m pretty pissed!!

    agree 100%. My comment was meant more toward if your rock climbing, hitting the trails in the mountains with a lot of snow, or just simple daily driver. If you want "this" on your truck, I'm not gonna bash ya. Like you said, it's your truck not ours.

    4:10 gears for 86 k10

    but on those interstate hills/MT's you probably still have gear and it's not searching as much. Kinda hard to decipher not knowing ur ups/lows and driving habits. LOL I hate the "passing" gear, I'd just assume put it in 3rd until I'm ready for OD. Speaking of keeping up speed, I need to put...

    Questions for expierienced ultrasonic cleaner users

    I wasn't expecting to use it for engine parts and such when I got mine. I was expecting the use it to clean my rifles. I work in a hospital and they use these to clean surgical instruments. Before I got mine, I've done the zip-loc trick before with my watch for about 10 minutes to get the...

    Questions for expierienced ultrasonic cleaner users

    Not positive, but the reason you don't want metal to metal on the tank is it could mess up the ultrasonic drivers (expensive to replace). Other than that, I've always put my stuff in a plastic basket with the parts not touching. Heating the fluid before hand helps if your unit doesn't have a...

    Rough country front shock mount

    lil hijack, but on subject and thought a good place for it. Is there a vendor that sells good replacements for the top shock mount? Mine are mangled and a turd to install the top of the shocks. I'll admit due to me and previous owners bending them.

    whats every body using.. looking for a new stereo head unit

    In the '80's everybody and the brother went with Pioneer Super Tuners. Me with a liking to be different, I've always used Kenwood since then with no complaints.

    Issue resolved - New parts on the way -- Key will not insert into the ignition switch

    key won't go in? I'd say that's going to be the key switch itself. If you can get it in but can't turn it, then that's a different scenario.

    Power loss with aggressive acceleration

    Items that can not be returned: "Products that may pose potential health and safety risks once sold" Good luck returning it. I'm glad they have that in there to help crutch the abusers. When throwing parts at something, I don't expect my money back unless the OEM (edit: or parts store) says...

    NOG Here

    Welcome, curious about the Astronomy Patents. Years back I was going to build a DIY telescope but it never happened. During that time I did think of a mirror idea with a spinning dish and mercury. Bad idea due to the hazards. lol never attempted due to common sense w/o assistance.

    Differential swap / bought it, work and install now

    I've got 3.73's in mine and drive 10 miles interstate on the way to work. I start off in 3rd and shift into OD 75-80 MPH.....it'll hold it in that area provided no hills. Hit 85 in OD....she starts to sing with power regardless of hills. Really wish I had 4.10's

    Lost Two Gen 3 LS Engines in my 1986 C10 2WD

    if for some reason you pull the engine or get another one, get a cheap test stand so you can run it prior to installing. Nothing meant, just saying for the future. Test it before you install to save time/hassle. test stand

    Lost Two Gen 3 LS Engines in my 1986 C10 2WD

    I've learned from others on the web to replace the oil pump on a used LS engine. I'd pull it from the top down to diagnose. From the sound of it in the video, it's going to be pretty obvious.

    Lost Two Gen 3 LS Engines in my 1986 C10 2WD

    check the compression before you install it.....be better before you buy, but a little difficult to do in the field. All you'd need tho is a battery and a starter along with the comp. gauge. Not sure how critical, but did you prime the oil system before you started it or just went dry?

    4:10 gears for 86 k10

    When i still had 31" tires, I wish I had put 4.10 gears on it. Now I'm on 32's....really wishing I did. 4l60E in mine. You go up to 35's, you may feel the same. Put your info in the calculator below to help make a decision. Also below is a sample chart to help you decide. RPM calculator...
