Looks like a good start. 1985 is a few years too early for the E4OD. Being an electronic trans, they never came behind non-injected engines. It would be more likely that you have a C6 behind a 351 as the AOD was light duty and mostly installed with 302s but considering all the other...

Did you get axle weights? Do you know their ratings?

Putting SRS into a vehicle not originally equipped with it is illegal, as is removing it. If you got in an accident and your modified airbag went off, your insurance company could deny payment, blaming your injuries on your modification. If the airbag didn't go off, they could make the same...

BFG KOs on the Tundra and Explorer that get driven a lot Cooper AT3s (3rd set) on the Trooper that gets driven very little I like them both. Falkens are probably just as good but I had a bad experience with them on a Maxima and won't buy that brand again. I do think the BFGs have gotten harder...

Great thing about Fords: cupholders, door panels, seats, fenders, doors... they're all easily swappable from 92 on up OBD2 is fine to have but not a big deal. I prefer the simplicity and durability of the pushrod motors. They're more forgiving.

Nobody had OBD2 until 1995. Econolines got in 96. All Fords were fuel-injected by 1987 They're all R134a from 1994 onward Get a clue

You're saying there's a GM installed appliance that burns engine fuel to heat the coolant without the engine running?

Even better. Just find a 3D printer in your area and let them solve your problem then list extras on eBay for profit.

Anybody that can weld, braze or solder well can add another tap to your fuel pump hanger. Drill a hole in the plate, slide in a piece of tubing, solder, braze or weld the tubing in place, done. Keep the aux pickup short enough that your heater can't burn up all your fuel and leave you stranded.

Is UJOR abandoning that market due to additional time/cost of working on those specific vehicles? If so, is it due to vehicle age (rust, wear, damage) or due to vehicle differences (parts differences, access issues, drivetrain changes)? Or are they refusing to work on those vehicles because of...

Winch line keeper, that's the thing that keeps the end of the winch cable attached to the winch drum, right? How'd it break? Did the whole cable slip off under load? You should have a minimum number of cable wraps on the drum at all times. This puts the load on multiple wraps of cable and not...

Actual SPAM is more palatable than this thread

I use uninsulated butt connectors and marine heatshrink as a minimum and add solder as deemed necessary.

We had an old dumptruck on the farm that developed a bad vibration. I pressure washed the whole underside suspecting a build-up of mud in a wheel or yoke was to blame but it didn't go away. Next we swapped tires and wheels, no improvement. I suggested taking the driveshaft to be checked/balanced...

Very few people have used more than one comparable fridge for very long so comparative analysis resulting in a declaration of "best" is in short supply. Most anecdotal evidence follows one of two types: either "I've had X and love it" or "I have Y because my X broke". I have a Truckfridge...

Those all-in-one electrical connectors use a low-temp solder that's inferior to the normal stuff. You should definitely support the wire so there's no weight on the connector and so its own weight can't cause it to break. Keep in mind as you build a camper that everything is going to move and...

If you've added to your cooling system, what connectors, hose, tubing etc did you use? I've added a coolant filter and have a plate heat exchanger to go in. I used heater hose and brass barbed fittings. Considering some hardline for neater packaging. Rigid copper pipe with soldered fittings...

Good idea in shutting the valve in transit. A 16 oz hammer swung at 30 mph will break the brass valve in a steel propane tank. A 5,000 lb vehicle is at least as effective, don't you think? You don't have to be in a high speed collision to cause problems with a high pressure fuel leak.

If you're letting a profiteer or a law enforcer decide what's responsible you're not long for this world. A house built to code is the worst house you can legally sell. The lowest bidder is the cheapest builder. In other words, just because there's no law against it doesn't mean it's a...
