I had some old parts in the garage that I threw together for a Christmas presant. Mr. Caterpillar may not be quite as artsy as some of the other...
Gears P R N 4 3 2 1... All are hydraulic. The only thing the electronics are for is torque converter lockup. If you aren't getting Reverse,...
You aren't crazy.. Some are welded up and eliminated. Hey.. it's still a 4 dr on the inside! I think. :confused:
Another one bites the dust.
Yep, in a box. I don't recall seeing any of that brand on a card at Walmart. Target on the other hand was the other way around, I found that...

Never. I work on other peoples problem cars all day long. When I come home I don't want anything to do with cars anymore. I look at my pile of...
This would be the first place I'd look. The only other thing I can think of in a 350 that might rattle would be the one way roller clutch...
...Thank you for that. And yes, filling the filter and lubing the o-ring are good things to practice. Cycling the key just keeps the fuel...
From some kid explaining to me how he changes the oil in his (new) GTO: Yeah, after lubing up the oil filter o-ring and filling it.. I always dump...
Funny.. I've cleared plenty of codes by disconnecting the battery. It takes a lot longer than 30 seconds.. but it can be done! I am a GM...
Could even have something to do with the governor sticking. I've seen that cause all kinds of fun shifting issues. It is most common right after...
... Lockup on a torque converter, for lack of a better description is exactly like releasing the clutch on a manual transmission. A modern torque...
Hell if it was just a Valve body/computer controller change (Without changing anything else inside an otherwise stock 4L80E) This would be an...
Steve. It should be named Steve.
Are your converter bolts tight? Hard telling otherwise. I've just gone 3 rounds with a TCI and it ended up having a cracked case (after being...
My brother and I stupidly rolled into the meet at about 3:15. At that point there were about 3 people left. So for us it was a total waste of...

If you look closely at the picture you attached.. it is of a REAR pump which some PG's were equipted with. As far as I know, the front pump can...
Indecisive obsessive compulsive with a knack for fixing mechanical shit that likes cars and motorcycles. I think.
Buying a project car in the first place. and Wife. Those are my two most expensive expenses when it comes to having a hotrod.
Here's what it looked like semi-assembled. just before I realized I'm gonna have to chop the frame apart and start it over. I put the kickup's in...
No pics just yet, but mostly just a bunch of random crap that I'll likely never be able to afford to build or do anything with. random engine...
It wasn't bagged.. but was still just as useless, 1.5" of suspension until it hit the rear bump stops. cornered like it was on rails but the only...
Quite OT but I used to have a 99 Dakota, Dropped, 408V8 swapped and for what it was.. made to be pretty cool.. I had someone walk over to me...
Saw your car at VIVA.. Awesome 54. Keeps me dreaming about the day I'll own one! Keep up the good work man!
You mean... HOly FRame rail! That's an amazing looking frame.. Great work so far!
