Anyone Else Addicted To Jeeps?
I saw some bouncing lasses of dubious BMI with slogans on their jeeps such as “you should see me with my top down” or “bad girls go topless”. Uhhh no thanks ladies. Please, no ma’am. -
Anyone Else Addicted To Jeeps?
I had to read up on it.....Ducking a jeep is so you can bring a smile to someones face or compliment them. Wanna make me smile? Don't touch my stuff - simple. -
Anyone Else Addicted To Jeeps?
I'm here, unfortunately. "Jeeps" as far as the eye can see. I would say about 98% of them are 4 door grocery getters. Every hotel parking lot is the same - They look like new Jeep dealerships. Boring, drab and mundane. I think in the thousand or so "jeeps" I've seen this week alone I would... -
What are you using as a garage heater?
That's actually the kind I have too. 3 ceramic plates in the box that get to glowing when hot. -
What are you using as a garage heater?
I use a Kerosene and a propane heater. Neither are forced air, just standard ambient type heaters. They work well. I used the Kerosene heater last weekend when the power went out in our neighborhood. Drug it out of the shop and fired it up in the living room. -
Know of a good body shop near Snellville ?
Were there any knives lost in this suspected accident? -
Japanese Mini-Truck
I drove plenty of these when I lived in Japan. We had the van and pick up type 2 seater. One of the pickups had a mid engine that was a V TWIN!!! -
Ok Men, Lets See Your Toolboxes
I'm in the same boat. What if my smaller toolboxes identify as larger toolboxes?....... -

Mechanics - what cars do you repair the most?
I have a Toyota pickup with the 22RE motor. It has 278,000+ miles on it and it is just clicking away. I rebuilt the head gasket in 2017 and have done calipers, brakes, oil changes etc. Runs pretty good. In 2007 in GA I had the transmission rebuilt because it was slipping. It stinks and rattles... -
Got a 94 F-150 300-6cyl need gone through
Yup saw this and heard this in Houston County a bunch when I lived there. It was "you can't afford it" or "not for sale". All the while the car or truck was rotting away in the yard or woodline and the squirrels were destroying it even more... Ridiculous. -
Crossed Plug Wires????
I set it cold to book spec. Also checked all over the internet and youtube and all were the same for intake/exhaust lash clearance. I may just run a heavier oil. The truck was given to me back in 05 and it had 150K on it. So I am still doing good even if it's a touch loud. -
Crossed Plug Wires????
I checked the valve cover out and started at zero and then snugged it down. The 22RE is a pretty loud engine. Most folks say just to deal with the little rattle and live with it. I have read to get the engine up to temp and check all the valve lash then. These were adjusted cold and I have heard... -
Crossed Plug Wires????
Not really I don't think. I set the idle back a little by ear (no tach on dash)it was high because of loose timing components (prior to repair). I also fiddled with the timing and distributor a little. I scratched a witness mark on the metal distributor body so I had a reference point to go off... -
Crossed Plug Wires????
Drove it to work today....Seems to be doing good. -
Crossed Plug Wires????
My buddy at work has one. Gonna shoot the timing this week. -
-
Crossed Plug Wires????
Just checked and all plugs are in correct firing order. It actually sounded a lot better today then it did last night. I fiddled with the timing last night by ear and it calmed down a bit. The belt tensioner was not the cause of the noise......I have a sneaking suspicion that it's the dust cover... -
Crossed Plug Wires????
I honestly believe the squealing noise could be my belt tensioner -
