    Anyone know or had dealings with "The Mopar Dude"?

    This is a guy that advertises that he re-hoops wheels. I talked to him a few years ago about re-hooping a pair of my 14x6 Motor Wheel Spyders to 15x7 with a deeper "dish". Just wondering, as I'm thinking of moving that to the front burner soon.

    NHL 23-24

    OK, I'll start it. My TBL is 1-0 after beating Nashville last night in the season opener. Looked a little dicey for the Bolts in the second, but they came back after the successful penalty shot. Turned out to be a pretty good game. Vasilevskiy out for months after spine/disk surgery. New...

    Might be looking at a 65 Barracuda this weekend proof my check list please.

    Been back burner looking for one of these as it's my wife's favorite car ever, but it has to be close, affordable, in solid condition, and have at least one or more of some specific options- V8, manual trans, PS, AC, red. I found one that fits almost everything. Factory red with black int...

    WIW with a lot of extenuating circumstances.

    A "car guy" that rents a shop from me told me he's looking at a 72 (he called it a Duster but it's a) Scamp or Valiant. He said it was a slant six car with AC and a "nice" interior with good floorboards. He showed me 2 pictures and it's definitely a 72 and appears to "only" have rust in the...

    "Poker face" series

    Saw the trailer over the weekend. Didn't pay much attention. Today they were talking about it on the radio. Look what she's driving- No idea about the specifics, but did hear it's kind of a detective show.

    Dynamat or alternative for AC box

    I'm having a condensation issue at my evaporator box. It's enough to drip off after about 20 minutes of driving. I haven't got much help on what might be causing it. It doesn't freeze up and blows pretty cold. The car was "professionally" converted to 134a before I got it. I'm thinking about...

    Battery terminal corrosion prevention

    What are y'all doin? I've never really had a big issue with it, but my 2015 Renegade failed to start this morning. Battery checked at 12.67v, which I perceived to be good. Closer inspection revealed a pretty good amount of light blue corrosion on both terminal clamps. These are thin brass...

    Had to let go of a friend yesterday.

    We had to put Vincey down yesterday. He had been slowing down for about a month but was still eating, although he couldn't eat dry food any more and the food had to be brought to him. He was staying in the same place for most of the day, but he had three or four places he liked, and he went...

    Who's running an AGM battery in a weekend driver?

    I've recently had good luck with combo deep cycle/RV batteries lasting at least as long as they are rated, when "normal" batteries seem to be giving up 33% sooner. My 2017 "48 month" combo won't charge over 10 volts and I'm thinking of getting an AGM this time to replace it. The same...

    Penetrant test

    I've seen similar posted but not sure this exact one. I like how he uses 4 test nuts and averages. Seems to like Seafoam and CRC, then WD40 spec. In addition to brake fluid.

    SB commercials ?

    No thread yet? I liked the bouncing QR code. At first I thought "wow, that's an expensive gamble- not identifying your product". Then I thought about how many people just jumped up to QR the screen with their phone. Brilliant.

    free 5.9 Magnum with rod knock

    So a few years ago I was given a 5.9 Magnum nearly complete. It was removed from a Durango because it had a "slight" rod knock. Is there a certain rod bearing that goes bad on these or is it just as likely to be any one of them. I'd like to tear into it but would love to start with "the bad...

    Here's a "funny" ad for diabetics...or maybe NOT

    So I was watching the hockey game the other day and this Rybelsus commercial comes on. Being diabetic, I tend to pay attention to ads about new medications. Anyhow, I happened to read the fine print about the lab results- Gee, patients who took rybelsus had a lower A1c than those that...

    Dakota Quad Cab owners- best PW window regulator?

    My mom has a 2003 QC. It's been a GREAT truck except- I believe this is the seventh time a power window regulator has failed. They always fail the same way. The nylon guide for the cable at either end of the channel cracks or breaks and the window then falls. I've tried a different brand...

    Had to bury another friend Monday

    Skittles the cat was 10 and a half. We've known something was wrong for about 3 months. About a month ago we learned he had cancer in his leg that had metastasized from somewhere else. Skitty was the first cat I've had in 30 years and the first cat my wife has ever had. When he arrived, he set...

    What happened to Lunati's cam card info on their site?

    I was trying to find the specs of the hydraulic roller I bought a while back. Found a link I had posted. But it took me to their main page and I had to look up the cam from scratch. When I got to the page for the cam, there was no tech sheet/cam card available. Why would they do that?

    We lost one of our friends yesterday

    Nougat (like the whipped caramel in candy bars) Also known by Buff, Punk, and Trouble. He was 10, almost exactly. Did not see him Monday at breakfast, or for dinner. Found him in the garage not wanting to move and breathing hard and shallow. Took him to the emergency Vet at 10:00pm. An hour...

    Some Dakota starter help?

    I know a fair number of members have Dakotas- Last week my Dakota failed to start. It just clicks, but the clicking is coming from the center of the cowl area, under the wipers. The starter is reasonably new (about 1.5 years). I took the battery home and put it in my D-150, where it cranked...

    [WANTED] two 14x5.5 polished trim rings

    I currently have polished rings on my rear wheels and brushed rings on the front. I'd like them to match. Will consider a set of 4 if the price is right. The ones I'm looking for are the rings that reflect the holes in rallye wheels. Thanks FxBO crew.
