No, dipshit but there’s a common theme of you completely lacking any humility as if every word that you state is gospel. Nobody likes an arrogant prick. Try other means to impress people. This plan of yours isn’t working.

The whole thing about the REdefining of words and terms pisses me off. You get to where NOTHING seems safe from these assholes. To add, terms like Could care less, HOT water heater, JUST sayin and asking for a friend smack of ignorance and a lack of vocabulary creativity. When a formerly...

The term limited slip is a description, Posi and Sure Grip are brand names like Xerox, Coke and Marlboro.

I don't feel old but the graying hair tells the truth.

Thanks everyone. I wasn’t worried, just curious. My 2007 truck will rattle upon start up if I’m low on oil. With 414,000 miles, it goes through a bit.

You can’t blame people for some words being mis pronounced. The name Weiand is one, how about Kiesler? I’ve heard it said Key-Slur and Kye-Slur. Milodon…. Mill-O-Don or Mile-O-Don? My kind of guy right there. When I see someone start a thread asking for help and butcher the heck out of the...

Rattle…..GONE. Fresh oil and filter and on today’s cold start, silent and smooth. This filter looks similar to the new NAPA filters so I doubt it really is 10-15 years old. I have some new/old Castrol that has never been opened despite being quite old. This oil is SF rated…. This is...

As much as it does annoy me, I do know some guys that are far more into performance and having fun than they are in using the correct terms. Mopar was weird though, many terms used in service manuals are Mopar Only and feel awkward to say or write. You know they use propeller shaft to describe...

The cam and lifters were new when I installed them in 2007. That describes it exactly, just a momentary clatter that clears up immediately after starting. It never rattles any other time. I don't think that I mentioned being "worried", just curious to learn if others have had a similar...

I think that I know what is the problem but I want to quiz you guys to see if we come up with the same thing... The engine is a '78 or '79 360 from a van that I parted out in 2007. I slipped a 340 cam in it, a Weiand intake and 340 manifolds and stuffed it into a 72 Duster after replacing the...

Maybe the dude burned a fusible link?

I do have some plastic polish here I'll try but I am open to other options if this stuff isn't good enough.

Man…. We get used to new cars with brighter bulbs, clean lenses with no scratches or fogging and an old car lighting looks so dim! Cleaning the fuse terminals helped along with grounding the panel. The screws that mount it to the dash frame press against the steel panel housing. When grounded...

I’ll need to get some of that. Hmmmm…. Holy crap, it worked! That is impressive. When I use the Evaporust, the finish usually needs no scuffing to clear off anything. The CLR liquid did not change color overnight so I thought maybe it didn’t do much. 80 grit sandpaper took care of...
