The kids, Rhonda and I saw it a couple weeks after it came out.

Agree it was a good show.

We watched it with an keen understanding and real life experience of racing in the rain at night!

Amazingly they did the 24 with just two drivers - did some fact checking on that.

Since last update: * removed the power window mechanisms and set up a method to install the windows for storage and driving around on cold days. The windows, mechanism and wiring was 37 lbs * acquired ALDL cable and software to tap into factory ECU. Install on my laptop and run some tests. Nothing o...

That place will be jam packed so I'm not planning to attend.

I am not sure the difference but my 95 Camaro was on that track a few times and never had this problem with spitting out p/s fluid. And no external cooler. It was a 3.4 and not as good a ratio in the steering rack which make it not quite apples to apples

Today I listened to the engine. It sounds like there are many ticks in there. My old Chevy experience tells me more than one lifter is slightly out of adjustment. So I did some more digging and I see many possible solutions: 1) premium gas 2) different oil / oil additives 3) exhaust manifold studs b...

OK so I got an automotive stethoscope I just need the car to be here in order to listen to it. In the meantime here is what the worst case scenario looks like $360 - lifters Mopar p/n 05038784AD $290 - camshaft Mopar p/n 53022372AA $225 - gaskets and head bolts Felpro $1875 - 25 hours of labor @ $75...

That is it. It would be rework on the pulleys but might be worth it - can't recall power steering config but might not be worth reengineering that just add spacers where it bolts to the block and move everything out 1/8".

if you got a 1/8" shim the same shape as the water pump gasket you could use double gasket and move the entire assembly out 1/8". Would that help?

As memory serves the power steering is attached to the water pump.

Thanks for getting us back online. No pit crew support!

* left rear was locked up which is not conducive to moving the car or using it which created this need * we also replaced the wheel cylinders * with a little help from a zip tie we got the old turkey baster on line and used it to drain all the fluid from the master cylinder reservoir before opening ...

Up next: AWD conversion

Definitely not just when it's cold. I think its all the time. And just changed the oil I was wondering if fresh oil would help but no change

I heard about it in maybe mid-November for the first time, Could have been there before just not reported by her.

It is possible this is an exhaust leak - that is what the guy said. So I need to do some troubleshooting. Also I think I still have the old oil filter so I probably need to cut that apart as well. The bad news is the heads have to come off in order to change the lifters: https://www.youtube.com/watc...

resurrecting the old thread!
