A pint of Seafoam in the oil will help loosen up the carbon stuck piston rings, and help them to seal to the cylinder walls again. Have saved a lot of oil smoking engines by letting that seafoam soak in there for a couple weeks after warming up the engine. Then change out oil and fresh...

Good thing you are taking those spacers off. I see they were already loosening up and egging out the bolt holes. Nasty Dangerous.... ☆☆☆

There is a good chance the rear wheel only ABS system (junction block) went lame. Instead of trying to fix it, they probably just removed the rear brake shoes and went without. That rear ABS junction block is probably still stuck. This is a good fix to bypass the Rear ABS, then you can put...

Looks better with the wheel spacer out of there. Yeah Crazy, no rear brakes.... Lucky your aluminum wheels still fit the 5.5 truck bolt pattern. Saw your YouTube about putting the Bluetooth in the radio. Great idea > good thinking and execution. Too bad the actual radio came up lame. You Pull...

Put the new timing chain in. I know of the same loose timing chain issue on a caravan. Recommendation was only drive it back and forth to work 4 blocks away. Their kids took it on a road trip to Duluth MN on I-35w, 70+ miles per hour. Blew the timing chain half way there, had to leave the van...

Here is the new mount I recently put in the '89 D100 Pickup, with a 904 trans. ☆☆☆☆☆

Make sure and put the coil spring inside, there is suction there that will collapse that lower hose. Especially if using a higher volume water pump. ☆☆☆☆☆

Shaping up the Body Work on the lower rear box sides where the Step Bumper has gouged into them, both sides. ☆☆☆☆☆

Try a 93 Dakota

Apparently there are lots of people patiently waiting for Nick's: Part - 3 Video. 6,000 views in just 10 days. Too much cam, too low of compression with the previous odd .020 over pistons that were re-rung, sunken valves in the head's recent valve job. Mismatched intake to head ports, after...

All that added pollution control equipment sure is taxing on a simple V8, 4 barrel engine. Not to mention all that stuff is 45 years old and it all has to work if it is going to pass the emissions tests. If the truck has been sitting around and not being driven regularly, all the worse...

Another trip to U-Pull-It Parts, cut out a used door super structure with your battery powered Sawzall. Lay it on top of your's and spot weld it in. Done Deal... ☆☆☆☆☆

Yes now that you mention it, and same brand Tekonsha brake controller that you have, that I recently had shipped in used off ebay. Have one just like in my main Ford traveling / towing van that works so well too, wanted another one just like it. Simple to wire in. ☆☆☆☆☆

Saw your YouTube on '88 door panel removal today. Thumbs Up!

It's Toed Out, can check with a tape measure. Need it to be 1/8" toed in at the front measurement, as compared to the rear measurement of front tires. 1/8" toe in equalizes out to > 0" toe in when driving diwn the road. ☆☆☆☆☆

Time to clean up, seal, and paint the back side of the Chrome Step Bumper. ☆☆☆☆☆

OEM 383 camshaft grind numbers to achieve the desired goals of their Dyno tests. 1970 383 was already taking a compression reduction as per the new emissions restrictions, as a result output numbers will be down. Interesting the 383 2 barrel and 383 4 barrel engines used the same camshafts...

Nick's 383 Dyno Test - Part 1 OK here are the Bullet Cam card specs from the first test: Gross Valve Lift > 489/488 Duration > 268/281 Separation > 110 Duration @ .050 > 220/281 ______________ Can now compare these specs to the Factory 1970 383 4 barrel specs.

Here is the Comp Cam Specs, about....030 more lift than the stock 1970 383 cam specs: Comments from Nick's #2 383 video: ☆☆☆☆☆

...end in it, heavy duty, with the smooth back. Already set up as a V8 Automatic car, so that is a lot better than slant 6 stick car. No major conversion work to do. Will more than likely need the engine and trans gone through after 40 years of sitting. 2 Door Post Car or Hardtop? * * * * *

Clear Title? No Title, No Car...

Gearing up for wiring the trailer plug that goes with the newly installed reciever hitch. ☆☆☆☆☆

Come up with the 2 camshaft cam specs they are using on Nick's Dyno tests. Surely you should be able to do that. ☆☆☆☆☆

Here are the factory 1970 383 cam specs: The "Roadrunner Cam" 383/330 horsepower Would be interesting to see the cam specs on the 2 cams they are swapping back and forth on Nick's Dyno tests, to see how they compare to the factory grind numbers? _______________ I had an original 1967 383 4...

Cut a used torsion bar in half. Stick it in the crossmember socket. Now take a straight edge off the round lower edge of the 18" long test torsion bar, and shoot a line to the control arm pivot in the K-member. The imaginary line from the crossmember Socket to the control arm socket (or...

Did you drop the engine, K member and trans all as one with the torsion bars in the car yet? Car body and torsion mount cross member supported "Up" as you are dropping Engine/Trans and K-member with torsion bars > dropping Down. Then the torsion bars slid out when you dropped the K-member far...

Grease the ends of the torsion bars and make sure there are no burs in the sockets with your finger. Back the height adjustment all the way off on the lower control arms. Also as you probably know there is a left and a right torsion bar. If memory serves me the odd bar goes on the driver's...

Hot Rodded the car, these things can be expected.
