Thanks Grant, I ended up going "near postal" on it then checked the "meter" fuse. I didn't have a spare 15 amp fuse with so I first tested it with a circuit test, all was good so I wrapped the blown fuse with foil to further test the system, it worked but then saw smoke under the...

I see there have been many changes, some good, some not so good.....such as only being permitted to post new topics in certain areas......At any rate I am not so sure if I am in the right category but aft...

Phosphoric acid is what I need...the same ingredient in CLR and Alumi-Prep polish, but since i spent the weekend doing body work and painting a truck I think I'm just going to hold off on doing anything with my cat for now......I am beat.

aluminum rims

quick question, i want to clean my rims and am curious as to whether anybody knows the affect that muriatic acid would have on them to clean prior to drying then spraying with eurathane. We use TC503 or aluma prep to polish our aluminum at work which is phosphoric acid and very hard to get out of wo...

Re: Rebuilding engine in Virginia?

Damn, why bother rebuilding or even thinking of it. I've rebuilt two K8 motors myself, in my garage at the cost of close to 2000.00 each, When motor number 6 crapped out on me I said piss on it and ordered a brand new one, it was shipped here the next day and a week later I dropped her in the hole, ...

Re: Best Oil for the V6

I myself use 0W50 synthetic and am quite pleased with it, it's well worth the 8.00 a litre.

Re: Manual Trans. shifting problems when hot.

As it turns out it is not my syncros that are gone, the stroke on the new slave cylinder is not long enough, it's short by approx. 1/2" ao I "red/Grenned" a shim at work, fastened it between the slave and the lever controlling the release bearing and it works like a charm.

Re: Manual Trans. shifting problems when hot.

I was checking out the slave the other day, there's quite a gap between it and the pressure plate "fork" I'll call it. Can also push the slave piston in by hand with very little effort. But still that would not make a difference with shifting when hot or cold. I had a feeling it was my syn...

Re: faulty headlamps

No high beams either unless I use the flash to pass. I have power going to the switch, from the switch to the fuse block under the hood and power from the fuse block but no power when I test the sockets themselves. It just doesn't make sense. I can't help but think of that phrase "needles in a ...

Re: faulty headlamps

The fuse was the very first thing I had checked, then the bulbs themselves, basically a process of elimination but without the eliminating. Today I replaced the main switch, entire switch assembly behind the steering wheel and still no go, I stipped every wire harness to check for break, etc, no pro...

faulty headlamps

No mod's. etc. needed. I just need headlights. When I turn my headlamps on using the switch my marker lights come on but no headlights, if I pull the switch to activate the high beams as though I were flashing them the high beams do work but that's it. I have checked the switch, fuse, relay tucked i...
