    new speedometer?

    Thanks mkk50, I'll try fixing it myself before I go to the junkyard. Being that the junkyard is over an hour away kinda makes me not want to go that way.

    new speedometer?

    The BBK Speedware is just showing guage faces? I'm keeping the same face, I need a whole new speedometer. He said something about a housing and it does make a noise when it starts jumping. Like a faint clicking.

    new speedometer?

    I tried searching and all I could find was stuff on convertering the 85mph to the 140mph and replacing the cable... I had the cable replaced on wendesday because the speedo just starts bouncing around when i hit 70. The shop replaced it and lubed it, all that good stuff. Now it's jumping once...

    Understanding my AOD and its potential

    curious on the full manul vs. semi-manual... if i go with the semi, can i downshift to 2nd on turns and stuff and not have it kit into 1st if the rpms drop too much? i made that mistake with my aod once when i first got it trying the shuffle and i left it in second (was going 20mph) and it...

    starter problem

    we had that problem with my dad's 81 F350, it just whined like crazy. and since i was just starting with the mechanic stuff, i decided to replace it. when i took it off, there were metal shavings in the starter... whoever had the truck before or whatever only mounted on of the mounts for the...

    old school wheels

    well i know they are 5-lug, i'm going to do the 5-lug swap anyways if i ever decided to get new wheels. i was playing around in PS and i actually don't think they look that bad... i'm not much for that shiny crap.

    old school wheels

    I don't know what to call them, being new to cars I thought they were just a Ford wheel, but I've seem them on Fords, Chevy's, Mercury's, and I think they look sick. Has anyone put them on a Fox? or could someone photoshop me one that has them? They are the black wheels with slim silver...

    still having brake problems.....help!

    you can't get the pad off the caliper or you can't get the caliper off the rotor? when i changed my front pads, the driver's side was real snug and i had to tap the caliper with a rubber mallet slightly to get it off the rotor. the pads should just pop/slide off.

    what does a bone stock 5.0 cound like???

    damn, i have a bone stock 5.0 and i thought it sounded loud enough, i'm looking into getting a full bassani x system (headers, x-pipe, after-cats) so maybe it'll blow me away from sound difference.

    Is the B&M hammer a good shifter for a AOD?

    you have to take the valve body out anyways to intall the shift kit, so just go with the valve body and it turns 1-D-OD into 1-2-3, at least the lentech street terminator does, plus it has OD lock-out.

    Winter Is Coming!?!

    bad idea man, not worth the risk. you could get in a wreck, or just get pulled over. my sister got pulled over for a broken haedlamp once and didn't have insurance, got her license suspended for two years.

    Winter Is Coming!?!

    Luckily for me, the town I live in is two hours from the Kansas border meaning flat like Kansas! But I'm still worried, people are idiots out here in the snow, and sadly, it's always so many ricers that get in wrecks in town because they think their body kit adds enough weight to keep it on the...
