    Compressor cycling frequently

    What kind of duty cycle are you expecting to see? 30 seconds doesn't really sound abnormal to me. Most of the R134a systems will engage the clutch for 5-15 seconds (depending on heat load, humidity ect) and then disengage for about 15-40 seconds until the pressure in the accumulator drops back...

    Balance Drag Tires?

    Started a new job about 6 weeks ago witch has put me in closer connection with all types of racers... stubborn, opinionated, outspoken racers. Anyway here is one debate that has been circulating through the shop lately and I was just curious how you guys feel about this. Driver "A" states...

    I wanna say they were for the old mistubish 4 banger that was in the D50 trucks, but not totally sure.

    No you don't NEED it, in fact many car were built without them and still roll from point A to point B without issues.

    What Gen III Hemi dipstick tube are you running with a swap pan and headers??

    It might be worth a shot to try the truck dipstick and tube, #53021322AF . Not sure if it will hit somewhere but the bend and mounting points are different than what's pictured in OP.

    Should I have a bulge?

    I just looked at a 75, it has the same bulge... but I'm not crawling under there to look for numbers.

    What ya-all know about refrigerant dye?

    I know FCA stared doing it in 2011 on some models, and now today on every model. I know most new GMs and Nissans have it from the factory also, but no idea about the other makers. Also the yellow glasses help tremendously with the black light.

    2008 5.7 value?

    The last time I replaced a 5.7l in a Ram the junk yard engine : 75k miles, intake, t-body, fuel rail and injectors, coils, timing cover, water pump, oil pan, flex plate, ex. manifolds, and 1yr warranty was $3400. I've found similar on Craigslist minus the warranty in the $2500 range.

    Check this out. A 270 slant 6

    I especially like this part, "For any gear heads out there this is a all steel motor which is hard to come by any more". I'm pretty sure us "gear heads" could see through the BS in the first paragraph LOL.

    Small Block Engine Leaning. Need Suggestions!

    In the 3rd picture the driver's side mount bolt is through the lower ear hole, and the pass. side is through the upper ear hole. Do you have enough "wiggle room" to set them both on the upper or lower holes?

    Old gas

    In the sealed can it should be fine. I burn 2 year old fuels frequently and never really noticed a difference. Just my opinion though, I don't know the science behind fuel life.

    Welded upper balljoint.

    Probably overkill. I usually do 4 small welds around the top, that way the heat doesn't cook the cup portion and you can just grind it off for future service.

    Mr. Fixit.....

    Got I nice "new to me" pressure washer free! It was offered to me with a "bad motor". It would run poorly for a few seconds only on cold start and then stall, each pull after the stall was real tight, almost to the point of breaking the pull rope. I took it home, tried it out and sure enough...

    Mr. Fixit.....

    When I was a kid I saw my dad throwing a VCR in the trash (they were actually valuable back then), he said it was "totally done". I pulled it out of the trash and took it apart, found one of the belts had dried up and cracked apart. I found a rubber band that worked as a replacement, then I...

    Never done this before (no header gasket)

    Had a set of hooker headers on a small block that would always leak at the gasket. After 2 sets of gaskets failed I used Grey rtv without any gasket, after that they never leaked again.
