    headers?

    I have the hooker ls1 blockhuggers on my 6.0l and they leaked... only until I added stage 8 collector bolts and copper gaskets. Now they're great.

    Tap and Die set?

    Many of the Crapsman taps and dies are now made in China. My solution was to go to Sears and purchase their tap holder in the dustiest, most retro-looking packaging (which curiously was labeled as being made in the USA) and then to individually purchase Greenfield taps through McMaster on an...

    New Mig gun for a HH 175

    You do wear gloves, right? How delicate are your hands? ;) The only noticeable difference is the trigger on the HTP gun is located in a slightly different position. It took a few hours of welding for it to feel natural, but now I don't even remember what is different about it.

    New Mig gun for a HH 175

    Yep, I replaced mine about 9 months ago. I was having a gas feed problem that I believed was being caused a combination of worn, leaky o-rings where the gun attaches to the machine just downstream of the drive roller, and a possible clog in the outer tubing of the lead. During my inspection, I...

    misalignment spacers.

    If you are looking to save some $, Ruffstuff specialties carries some zinc plated misalignment spacers that are a lot less expensive than the stainless ones most everyone else sells. I run 1.25" heims on two of my lower links but I made sure the width of the tabs with the misalignment spacers...

    Roll height front vs rear

    Good topic- subscribed. When the roll axis on my rig sloped downhill toward the front of the rig, it did not want to climb vertical ledges when pointed straight on. I would always end up having to climb with one tire first, and then the other. Otherwise it felt like I was trying to overcome...

    LS1 coil on plug/ EFI on older SBC?

    Agreed. I picked up my 2006 6.0 for $600 local and it has 58k miles on it. And of course 5.3s make great power too and are are a dime a dozen, relatively speaking. Unless you're obsessive about shedding weight, the truck motors are the best bang for the buck compared to what the LS1s, 2's...

    External Inline Fuel Pump recommendation......

    Mr. Zero, what symptoms arose when your msd 2225 pump started to go out? How old was it? That is the pump I will be running to feed my LQ4 and I have heard mixed reviews on whether it is adequate for supplying fuel to a Gen III motor. As far as regulators go, my understanding is that you...

    Old Drill Press, refurb and slow down

    Going to be pretty hard to use that alternator for a trail welder now :flipoff2: You need to get some of the Super Premium Ultra Lube that I have... I'm yet to be able to make it smoke, even with ruthless drillbit abuse. Ultra Lube Cutting and Drilling Oil 16oz Norseman Ultra Lube...

    Old Drill Press, refurb and slow down

    Now we just couldn't have anything rigged could we? Heaven forbid the ignition on your 40 would be wired through your ARB switch :flipoff2:

    Who tows 5k+ with their 80?

    Bailey, how much does your ski boat/trailer combo weigh? You've pulled it with the 80 right? Didn't you mention that this might only be a temporary towing solution? The majority of the trips Bailey will be taking (I think) would be mostly interstate 1-4 hours from home. Most routes are...

    Wheelin Sunday

    I don't know if it was the trailer that changed your attitude or just a year's worth of pent up driving urges that needed to get out, but it was great to see you flog on the 40 a little on Sunday. As I said earlier, being sprung under, it handles amazingly well on slick rocks with no hop at...

    Wheelin Sunday

    Bailey, the J**P part is supposed to be the hook, not the bait! ;) As long as the weather cooperates, I'll be pulling tow truck driver duty for Bailey for the day and along for the ride. At least for now, it looks like the forecast for Delta, AL shows the rain tapering off by late morning.

    Beadlock Prefrences

    Mike, I hope I'm not late to the party on this, but I'm starting to become more and more of a fan of production beadlocks like the Trailready HD slim rings or the Raceline Monsters. Those two wheels probably have the best reputations of any beadlock available right now. But the only the thing...

    40" Super Swamper LTB

    I run the 40" LTBs and I like them. They're way better than my old Iroks. The iroks had to be aired down to almost nothing to get any kind of traction, and below 5lbs or so, their flimsy carcasses would fold over and get cut. The LTBs stay a lot squarer, even when aired down. I like that...
