So, my stepdaughter is at Tech. She's got her 250k mile '08 Dakota V6 six speed manual extended cab, and it's getting...janky. Last it was here, I put a clutch in it because the disc grenaded. Did everything - disc, plate, bearing, hydraulics. Trans has started jumping out of gear, getting hard...

So, this is for my Wrangler but the aftermarket "universal" kits could work on our B's as well, so I figured I'd ask - anyone ever install one on a car? I'm looking at a Rostra kit for my Wrangler. Looks pretty straighforward - has DIP switches for number of cylinders and other settings, it...

So I'm stupid, that's a given. But I just cannot remember... I got my charger a few years ago. Pentastar ignition key, round trunk key. Neither one unlocks the doors. I'm pretty sure on my '72, the pentastar is the doors, too, and the round is just trunk (and maybe glovebox?)...yes? I'm...

Time's coming (at least here in the salt-and-brine-addicted northeast) to park the ol' classics for the winter and start fixin' stuff we didn't want to sideline them with during the "fun" season. We still have some great driving weather (and scenery when the leaves start to change)...but since...

So, I have a rental duplex and one tenant has absolutely DESTROYED a unit. I won't get into all of it here as it makes my blood boil...but suffice it to say I will have all the studs exposed including the ceiling. This is an over/under duplex, not a side by side, so in order to cut noise between...

So, I was working in my shop yesterday on a motorcycle. Moved some stuff around, including an old fuel tank. Apparently, I hit the lever on the petcock and opened the valve....and it dumped a good bit (I'd say over 2 gal) of stale unleaded all over the floor. Of course, it soaked into the wood...

So, this is (obviously) for a late-model car... My Matco OBD-II scanner is in Texas, with Michelle's daughter. She had it for the drive to college last fall, in the 08 Durango, because it had an intermittent evap code and I wanted her to be able to clear it if needed, during the trip to school...

So, at work, we have a 2" water feed line that runs the length of our performance room (I work in a live music venue). Figure...a 100' run. There are (4) 90 degree bends in the pipe, to clear what used to be a roll-up garage door - instead of going straight, it comes in, turns left; turns right...

So, my heat pump has been acting up. Aux heat works, but it's $$$$ so I had a company I've worked with in the past, come out and diagnose. Turns out, the control board on the exterior unit took a power hit and is DOA. $109 diag trip, I'm good with that and it's paid and done. He checked...

Going to order a fuel sender for the Charger (dead gauge), they have the OER units in stock. Anyone have a discount code they aren't using? Better yet, anyone have a reason NOT to use the OER sending unit? Just a stock, 5/16", no return line unit for the 318 Charger 500... Thanks!

So, I have a "live" wood fireplace in my living room, marble hearth, stone chimney with terra cotta liner and fire bricks in the burn box, but it's only had a gas log in it to date (house built in 1987). I recently had a chimney inspector check it out so I could start burning wood (4 acres...

My '90 turbo Voyager ate its transmission last weekend. Not surprised - it's been on the way out (double the stock boost level didn't help, I'm sure!), I knew it was coming...and now I need to yank it and rebuild it, or rebuild one of the cores I have in the shed. It's a Torqueflite A413 3 speed...

OK, so it isn't a B body so I didn't want to put it in the tech area. If the mods want to move it....I'm good with that. Danielle's 08 Dakota V6 4x4 6 speed stick, lost its clutch a few weeks ago. Installed new: flywheel, disc, pressure plate, throwout bearing, and complete hydraulics (master...

Michelle's daughter is getting ready to head that way. Just got accepted for the fall. Plan is for her to drive her 210k mile 08 v6 Dakota...it's...ok, but we're currently going through some clutch issues and once sorted there won't be much time to shake it down before the trip. New clutch, new...

So, I have a chronic problem with my 2001 Ram 2500's front axle (D60, I believe). The 4x4 actuator keeps leaking fluid. Like...a LOT. I have it fixed...a couple months later, it's pissing fluid again. Used the truck for a gig last weekend, parked it in the garage, and next day I found puddles...

They seem to do everything BUT publish pricing, anywhere. My house, I've been here a dozen years and not had any leaves in my gutters because the trees are distant, and being on top of a hill there's always a breeze to clear 'em out. But, I've planted maples close-in for future shade, and I'm...

It won't let me post in the events forum, so.... Mason-Dixon Dragway in Hagerstown MD. Show, swap, and quarter mile drags.

Keep an eye on your cards, folks. I have a biz visa that NEVER leaves my wallet. Ever. And if the wallet isn't in my pocket, it's at home in the safe (mainly so I don't forget it when I leave for work in the morning; I'm in the safe for my EDC anyway, so I keep keys and wallet in there too)...

Michelle's daughter called the other night. "My truck's brakes fell apart and it's stuck at school". 08 Dakota, 209k miles, 3.7/6M/4x4. So, we loan her the Durango and last night after work, I hook the Demco dolly to my new-water-pump 2500 diesel with only a 25 mile shakedown so far on the new...

I know there's lots of opinions about batteries out there, but...my Cummins needs batteries (2001 24v). It sat in a 50 degree garage for 36 hours, and wouldn't start this morning. I have it on my NoCo tender for the day, I'll test them when I get home tonight. Batteries are dated 2015 so I...
