This car died an early death. Less than 3 months old, with less than 2400 miles on the clock. Houston flood near Addicks reservoir. 6" of rain in an hour. A lifted Ford truck with some big meats pushed a 3 foot wall of water in front of it. The wave washed over the hood and hydrolocked the Coyote.

All Rick is saying, that if you are willing to take the time, and enjoy the hunt, that you're not tied down to using ready made kits available from trusted vendors. Evidently, they've done the homework, and offer kits available more so for those that want a quick and easy conversion. What the...

"Go to a hydraulic shop and have them make what you need." Agree with @Jerry Hall The shop may not have to make a custom hose for you, and may be able to suggest different fittings or adapters needed to complete your installation.

No apologies necessary, all's good.

What's this got to do with clearing glue from a plastic piece of trim? I'm with @GetX'd. Your're stressing ME out. OSHA ain't gonna be standing over his shoulder looking for infractions.

"ethyl alcohol" used in Hopps#9. Same as plain ol' denatured alcohol available at much less the price of Hopps #9.

"Professor Thurston Billingsley" is incorrect in that 100% of grillers just wing it. I'm not about to throw a $25 bone in ribeye on the grill moving it around, hoping for the best outcome. I've spent some time in a restaurant environment insuring the patrons got exactly what they asked for...

Denatured alcohol. Used for cleaning fine jewelry without damaging the properties of the metal. One of those thousand answered questions. Simple is best.

"sciatica is some evil ****" Boy, howdy! Nothing has knocked me out of commission like the dreaded attack. I don't take any drugs for it's relief of pain. It takes 3 days of being immobile before I can get up off the couch after a bout. It's amazing how debilitating it can be.

Sciatica. The reason for my retirement. Over- compensation in the spine from being paralyzed on one side. Can't sit in front of that computer screen for hours on end anymore. But I haven't stopped entirely from working on the hot rods. Just gotta be mighty careful. I've even modified my creeper...

Never quit, never give up, never give in. Never lie, cheat, or steal. Words from my 'ol man. He was a vet from the Korean War. He was an alcoholic who died at the ripe old age of 57 having smoked 2 packs a day of his beloved L&M's for many years. Those words saw me thru everything concerning...

Drill it out and replace, or call a locksmith, are about your only options. The locksmith can "pick" the lock cylinder and once removed, cut a new key, or replace with a new cylinder and key. If it were mine, I'd drill out the center of the cylinder and get a new one. JMHO.

Dang, Ed. Sounds to me like you're one tough SOB with a spirt that God wishes it remain, here with us the living. His plan for you has not been met here on earth, and evidently you've more to contribute. I, like you, never get more than 4 hrs sleep per night. Been that way since I was 17 after...

It does as the truck weighs less than 3000 lbs empty. So far, after a few hard launches, the 8-1/4 seems to be holding up. May sound crazy, but I'm keeping a log as to the abuse applied. We've programmed this diff"s changes using a finite analysis program, and compared it to a OEM 8-3/4...

Ahhhh....Richard.....

Hello KD I can understand why you would want to stay put. I hate moving and have done more than my fair share, having lived in Minnesota, California, Texas, Indiana, Florida, and New Mexico. The latter of which where we reside. (Just a couple pics to show green grass is possible in a desert...

It was. About a hundred nice cars there. Roswell's 48th annual car show. I didn't expect to win any awards. It was fun just visiting with friends you see once in awhile. Not many mopars today. The first pic is from a 1954 Dodge Diplomat. Beautiful car with body lines that rival any mid 50's...

Another car show today. Didn't place, but won a couple consolation prizes.

Original plans were to race the truck strictly track use. The axle has the C clip eliminator kit, and has been shortened 3 inches per side. Under a stress analysis CAD program shortening the axle greatly reduced the forces applied to both the carrier and the outer bearings due less of a moment...

Do I need a lower stall converter, or can the 2-3 shift be dialed in? When building the chassis, much of the weight was guesswork and a torque converter was purchased to those numbers. It's stall (advertised) is 2800 rpm. 440 has a mild cam and the rear diff has 3:55's. Total weight with two...
