    not mine, but a great Craigslist deal I saw

    http://springfield.craigslist.org/cto/2763970397.html $2500 is nearly worth the GearVendors and Turbo system. If I had more time I would consider buying it just for cutting up/resale.

    a little educational video

    I often hear about folks on this forum getting a crap engine to replace their crap engine and throwing new rings on it and running a hone blindly through the cylinder.... this is not a rebuild and it is possible that this hurts more than helps. It is also a common belief here that throwing...

    Sold my truck

    I am going to be diesel-less in a few days. Was a good rig and I will miss it.... On the good side, I now have over $4k in spending cash for my Galaxie and F100 :-) Current mission is getting my 76 F100 to ride perfectly, no shakes, no vibrations, no shimmies, etc. I'm 90% of the way there...

    70's fseries brake problem

    no fluid flow to rear brakes. this would be a 76, without power brakes, front discs (which work great) and rear drums. Can't even really bleed the rear drums. no leaks are visible. I'm assuming it is the proportioning valve. Pulled the piston out on said valve and met with limited...

    thinking about blowby

    has anyone ever plumbed their crankcase into their vacuum pump? Obviously you'd want to do it with appropriate baffles or from the timing cover. Drew

    shocks

    Ok, I have crappy shocks. On the highway we do the bouncey bounce if a pothole is hit. whats a good replacement that could be obtained locally? (meaning autozone/oreilly/napa) I don't do much towing, maybe 3-4k lbs a few times a year. Drew

    sway bar bushings

    anyone know what the size is? I've got 7/8 all the way up to 1 1/8 on the parts list. Not having a pair of calipers makes me unsure of the measurement. truck in sig. anyway, I'm thinking this is the shudder when letting off the clutch as there is alotta play in them. thanks Drew

    misc findings

    1. the old truck was sputterin on the rear tank some time back. Finally lifted the bed to check the tank. I had previously used a T on the end of the fuel hose. Not a good idea apparently as it clogged partially. Probably why I could get 50 miles and it'd run me outta fuel. ohh well...

    need suggestions on weird noise.

    truck in my sig, In 1-2-maybe third I hear a squeeking/squeeling from what sounds like under the truck. It only seems to be present when idling or low power. If I push in the clutch the sound goes away, which rules out in my mind any wheel issue. If I speed up it sounds like it goes away...

    oddball C6 parts

    Cleaning out the shed trying to make room for the shop I'm about to build. I have a c6 flywheel with flexplate, kickdown rod, brake pedal, and all the undercab linkages I pulled off from when I swapped to zf5. They are weird parts, and only useful if you are swapping to a c6. I have no...

    steering

    as many of you know, I'm not around to drive the truck all that often. the Mrs. needs to drive the truck once in awhile and refuses due to the steering. Ya know, nothing fancy, but it's got the standard 3inch of steering play/wander. I don't mind it, i'm used to it, and don't even notice...

    ZF ujoints

    Anyone have the size of the Ujoint cups for the rear yoke on the zf5? Mine have a wee little bit of slop, and I obviously need a different size, It's different from my driveshaft so hence the problem. Asking at autozone got me two different sizes (neither of which fits). My truck has a...
