    Brake Fluid Flush GMT800

    I would try this: Have someone start the engine and stomp hard on the brakes repeatedly while you check each rubber brake hose for bulging and replace any that are. Should be 3 hoses to check. Then I would bleed the brakes starting with the shortest brake line and ending with the longest brake...

    Gas spilling when filling up

    You might be able to CAREFULLY slightly pressurize the fuel tank. The exhaust from a shop vac, air compressor, or something like that. You would want to do it outsize and be cautious of static sparks near the top of the filler tube. Then with air entering the tank, you could look around under...

    Window crank handle replacement

    My rig had problems with both windows. One side was super hard to roll up and down, and the other side would get jammed and was just all around crappy. Didn't have to replace any parts. Just had to take them apart, lube everything, and make a bunch of adjustments. It took a long time to get them...

    V2500 4in lift replacement? ORD?

    Nice ride. I would go with a different style of army boots though.

    Rear Brakes Locking Up

    If the only thing that is old is the proportioning valve, why not replace it?

    Busted rear shock mount

    You are 100% correct about the cigarette thing. Gas just doesn't burn in a liquid state. As for the water thing, you are correct as well. But its needs REALLY good cleaning. Gotta be careful. I was trying to repair a plastic ATV fuel tank once. I needed to heat up the threaded area where the...

    Busted rear shock mount

    Liquid gasoline does not burn. It's not flammable. It has to be vaporized and mixed with oxygen - then the vapors are highly flammable. So you you have no fumes, you have no fire. Hence the full fuel tank.

    Replacing the TBI engine, suggested upgrades or changes?

    Assuming the motor has some miles on it, I would focus on getting it tuned up as much as possible and leak-free before installing. Maybe a new fuel injector, premium plugs and wires, cap, rotor, etc. So before trying to go above what the original factory performance is, get it back to original...

    Busted rear shock mount

    You could drill holes on either side of the break and bolt a plate (with a hole in the center) to you existing shock mount. Or just weld that missing tab back in place. Why would you need to pull the body to weld that? If you can take that picture, you should be able to get a stick welder in...

    1988 V10 fuel lines

    Exact same thing happened to me a while back. They munched the fuel lines right on top of the tank. The little bastards.....

    1988 V10 fuel lines

    Bra! RATS be eat'n yo ****. When you get them fuel lines fixed, put a bunch of DECON packs up there on the gas tank. DEFCON 1 works too. Either way - kill the rats!

    edelbrock fuel line leak. Anyone else?

    With a banjo, try to find softer washers. Brass, aluminum or what ever is the easiest to deform under pressure. Then all you can do is tighten more, and check for leaks. Tighten more, and check for leaks, and repeat. Even when they seem like they are going to break or strip, all you can do is...

    12 bolt Rear axle ratio?

    Mark the U-joint (or what the U-joint bolts to), and mark axle, near where the seal is. Then mark a spot on the wheel, and a spot on the leaf spring. So that you can tell how many times each one spins. If its an open diff, you spin the wheel two times. If its a posi, you spin the wheel once. On...

    Low cost auto repair. $79 engine swaps! (no warranty)

    When it comes to auto repair, there is no need to do everything by the book. If you cut corners, you save dollars. Just keep it simple. 1) Remove engine. 2) Install new engine. 3) add oil. Good to go. (Click on images)

    How hard to go backwards?

    I would assume that a floor mounted switch would be easy to install. Probably get one on Amazon cheap enough. The trick would be accessing the wires in the steering column. Maybe there is a wiring diagram on this site somewhere, so that you could take the wires from under the dash or something.

    Free, you pick up.

    If you want them gone, just lean them up against a tree out by the road, and put a big sign next to them that says "FOR SALE - $1,500". They will be gone without a trace by morning.

    Cracked TH350 case

    I would drill a hole just past the end of the crack (to stop the crack from continuing), and then I would call around different welding shops. Tell them you are a mechanic, and need to have a 4" crack welded on a trans case. A reasonable welding shop should charge $50. Its a very quick job, so...

    Wobbly power steering pump pulley

    Squeak solution: Start the engine, and hold a piece of chalk against all the different edges of the belt. This eliminates the squeak very well on serpentine belts, V belts, etc. Obviously you want to position you hand is a way that if the belt grabs you, your hand would be pushed away from a...
