    Door lock actuators...I searched...no luck

    Thanks all. Cruiser Parts say they have a couple. $85 but it's worth it for me right now. Found a right rear for knock off new for $35.

    How to Fix Faded Black Plastics?

    Weird but it works on my stuff. Lemon oil for guitar fret boards. I use the stuff on everything. If that doesn't work another odd one - mink oil paste like the kind for shoes and let it cook in the hot sun - then wipe down. That will work. Read the label. " Safe for all leather and smooth vinyl. "

    Door lock actuators...I searched...no luck

    First off - hey everybody. Hope you are all well. Rolled my Ford X last year avoiding a speeding car on a two lane road , pretty much got crushed and got a helicopter ride to the trauma center. 23 broken bones. Been recuperating 9 months now. Never be the same again. Crushed my left arm and...

    Sway Bar - Heavy Duty Front, Delete Rear

    I've done this on multiple make 4X4's. Tighten up rear end. Remove front sway bar. Run dual heavy gas shocks in front. No problems. Try removing front and leaving rear. Works better.

    Valve stem oil seals / rear main / oil usage questions.

    I figure it's gotta be valve stem oil seals. Head gasket went out while still under warranty so no head rebuild. Fine for years. Driven mostly by wife and periodically now. Too small for me. Always was, but I had to have one - last year of solid axles. Racked up miles on highway trips. Thanks...

    Valve stem oil seals / rear main / oil usage questions.

    Hey gang - long time - no board. Hope everyone is well 190K miles, original engine. 1.) How much oil can you burn from old valve stem oil seals? 2.) No oil leaking while parked - nothing on driveway or in garage, but always oil around rear main / transmission. Front oil pump seal good, oil pan...

    CruiserParts.net Scam Scam Scammers

    Somebody else needs to get into this. 80's are starting to die off rapidly now. Sold them a box load of exterior trim some years back. Fender flares, etc.. Didn't get much. They probably flipped the stuff for 20X what they paid. Not exactly great with customer service, but if you have to have it...

    Which Rotella should I use?

    Yeah I am that old. Did it three times. Hardest runs I ever did. Never placed but I was fast and finished all three times. Made my checkpoints early usually. No support. Just me. Hauled my bikes around in my Dad's J10 with no DL. The water crossings and mud were a bitch. Don't ride now. Beat to...

    Which tools to remove cone washers??

    NUTS. Battle of the Bulge. Bastogne. M2A3 BFV would eat the rocket launcher POS for lunch. If you can kill T62s that thing is dust.

    Which tools to remove cone washers??

    SA-8. Edit. Don't hit the stud. Hit the flange. I put a five gallon in front of them. Usually catch most.

    Which Rotella should I use?

    Deltapine1 - did you ever run the Lonesome Pine Enduro. If so I was there in open class on a Penton. I was 15 years old.

    Which Rotella should I use?

    It's a truck engine. Put some 10W-40 regular dino oil in it and call it a day. Fix your valve cover gaskets. Don't waste money on synthetic or any blends. It's your truck though. Do what you want. Good luck.
