    Dropped Front, No Brakes

    It just feels like they need bled. I did let the driver side hang for a lil bit until I stuck somethin under it to hold it up. They worked fine till after I dropped it.

    Dropped Front, No Brakes

    I beleive thats what happened. I had to drop the driver side by the upper ball joint cause I couldnt get the lower out of the spindle. Even if it looks ok on the outside it could still be damaged on the inside?

    Problem w/ Turbo 350

    Is it tranny fluid or oil? Look all around the trans and make sure theres no holes open. There is a port that has a small bolt in it. Might be 2 cant remember. If its comin out the vent tube them somethin is wrong internally. How much fluid did you add?

    No Im readin up on the advance and everything. The idle in the vid is not the missfire. I wouldnt be drivin if it was that bad lol. The distributor didnt have any play in it tho it was tight.

    help with tranny removal...86 k10 4speed auto

    Like 79k10 said just unbolt it and pull it. Only extra thing you gotta unbolt is the front drive shaft. Leave the t-case bolted to it. If all your doin is replacin the seal on the pump I wouldnt even pull it out all the way. Just slide it back enough to get the converter out and it will be...

    Intermittent Random Missfire

He says they are good in upwards of 450-500hp but anywhere above they dont hold up. For the price they are good tho. It all comes down to "you get what you pay for". Id get a...
