    Rear ended moving around, need some tips.

    You know that's a great idea, can't believe I didn't think of that haha It might be a little difficult to hunt down leaf spring bolt with the correct size. Might be forced to get one of those spacers. I wish I could have gone 8 3/4. But it's hard to beat a good condition 8.8 for $75 from the...

    Rear ended moving around, need some tips.

    So I swapped an explorer 8.8 into my 64 barracuda. Install went well and all that but, I noticed that my aftermarket spring perches that I bought on eBay have a bigger hole on the perch, than the size of the leaf spring centering pin. So upon test driving the rear end the other day, when I...

    Anybody know of a late model Dodge forum? Mines busted.

    Well unfortunately still busted. I replaced the crank and cam sensors and nothing, still running the same. Ran a compression test and all cylinders are just around 180psi. It's weird but I smell blow by, don't know why. It seems to kinda have a loss of power as well.

    Anybody know of a late model Dodge forum? Mines busted.

    Wow man that's crazy, your a genius! I'll have to give it a try and hope that does the trick. Which would explain why it was working just fine and then it happened out of the blue. I'm sure when they rebuild this stuff they probably didn't replace the sensors with new ones.

    Anybody know of a late model Dodge forum? Mines busted.

    My daily is an 02 Dodge Stratus. It's currently having some issues that make it non driveable. I was on my way to work and 15 min later at a light the car began to bog down (kinda like an old car with a carb). So I put the car in neutral and gave it gas to keep going. The car stayed on, as...

    How to align rear end after 8.8 swap

    Okay i think I'm starting to grasp the concept. So use the measurement I got up front, and stretch the string to the rear. Measure the rear frame rails and find the exact point I found up front so I know where to locate my string from up front. Measure axle flange to axle flange and find...

    How to align rear end after 8.8 swap

    Awesome thanks so much for the response! I seem to be a little confused... I apologize for that. 1) "backing plate meets the axle" I'm a little confused by as to what is the backing plate? 2)If I stretch a rope from the front to the rear, I imagine I run the chance of getting the measurement...

    How to align rear end after 8.8 swap

    I swapped out the old rear end out of my 64 barracuda for an 8.8 out of a 2001 explorer (28 spline, 3:73, Limited-slip). How do I go about making sure its aligned with the car so I can weld it to the new perches? Do I have to take it in to the alignment shop and have them do it? **other...

    How to set up a/c and heat

    I bought a heat and AC kit off of eBay. I know those aren't the best but it was all I can afford at the time. (My cuda didn't have a heater/AC box) I'm a little confused on how to wire it for heat, it came with 2 knobs, Temp (hi-low) and Air (1234). It did not come with a heat knob or...

    How can I check to see if a used transmission is still good?

    Thanks for all the responses. I've decided on going ahead and installing it. So let's say I install it and it works fine, anyway to tell around how many miles or so are on it?

    How can I check to see if a used transmission is still good?

    I purchased a used 727 from someone to put into my barracuda. The guy I purchased it from told me it was in good shape, and rebuilt a few years ago. When I took it home it looked real clean and the torque converter had a sticker on it from 2013. I was wondering if there was any way to be...

    How to drill through hardened steel??

    When I tried the carbide bit I simply used wd40 for the bit. Could that have been the issue? I was told I need legitimate cutting oil? Also I don't have an actual drill press but I do have this old style one I bought at the swap meet. You think that can work?

    trying to drill through some hardened steel parts I bought, didn't know they where hardened steel. I just can't make a dent in these things. Anyone have any tips for drilling through hardened steel? I took it to my local fabrication shop and they said they can't do it because it's hardened...

    Air compressor acting funny, what gives?!

    Yea I always made sure to keep it oiled, and would change it out every couple months. I would use the recommended kobalt brand as well. Yea I would drain it out after use. Not gonna lie... There been a few times I have forgotten until the next day. Just a few times though.... What would cause...

    Air compressor acting funny, what gives?!

    It is oil type. Okay will do, I will take the belt off and run it and see how it goes. See if it makes the screeching noise still. How long should I let it run for? A few minutes?

    Air compressor acting funny, what gives?!

    Okay so I bought a 60 gal. 3.7hp 155psi kobalt air compressor from lowes about 3 or so years ago. It's worked great up until recently... The issues. About 6 months ago it began to bog down (sound weaker) at around 90psi, for about 30 sec. And then it would return to normal. I thought nothing of...

    Anyone use TCP Global Plum Crazy Paint?

    I saw someone mentioned something about primer color affecting end result? I'm looking for a darker more deeper looking tone of the plum crazy variation. What color primer should I choose for that? Thanks! Those darts look great by the way!
