    small idle problem after plenum/tb install

    I thought I've read on here someone saying that the area where the middle area where the blades on the TB meet the little bar that turns them actually leak around that area also. Just sealed it up and it worked fine.

    Is my thermostat stuck open

    More often then not what I've seen come though at work is a customers cars radiator cap is not holding proper pressure. On my beater car for the winter, 89 chrysler new yorker, the cap is suppose to hold 16lbs and was only holding 8lbs. That's why my car did not warm up with a $hit. I'm not sure...

    Sagging Eibach Springs/ Unlevel Height?

    Put the rear isolators in 1st and see how much gap you have between the front and the rear and if needed then take one out of the front. Better then taking one out of the front and installing the rears only to have the front way lower and the rear higher up afterwards.

    Sagging Eibach Springs/ Unlevel Height?

    could always try getting a set of poly isolators for the rear to take up some of the slack back there and see if that makes a difference. If the stock rubber ones are getting worn they could cause it to sit a little lower... not sure how much lower though.

    Went from 18s to 17s...realignment needed?

    If sears is able to align your vehicle they give a 6mo/6,000mi warranty on the alignment if they are willing to align the vehicle or state otherwise before doing the work. So if they align it now with the wheels on there then 4-5 months down the road when you put your other wheels on have the...

    Dont think 315/35's would fit

    I've found some cobra R's that have a 27mm offset with 6.84" Backspacing. Those should work shouldn't they for most setups?

    You probably would not need one unless there is a complete difference in overall diameter or different offsets from what I've been told. Scrub Radius: Caster: http://www.familycar.com/alignment.htm

    I've been debating on lowering my car, which is a 97GT, and trying to figure out the best combo to handle DD and some once in the blue moon 1/4 mile track. I've looked at the Bullitt suspension which would drop the car an 1" replace the shocks and struts and sway bars. Does the sway bars from...

    Seafoam is teh *****!

    I've been told that Seafoam back in the old days has been known to foul plugs. There's some shops around here that use what they call profession cleaners, Zoom, that will only be sold to shops for use and cannot buy off the shelf from anywhere. One goes in the gas tank, the other into the crank...

    Tire sizes

    Stock 17's are 245/45/17 which = 25.7" OD. For 18x8: 245/45/18 = 25.9" OD 18x9: 245/45/18 = 25.5" OD...... 265/35/18 = 25.5" Just depends on your tire size and how wide of wheels your running.

    correct me if im wrong but.....

    What about the heater hoses? Don't those get routed a different way? Also I believe the coolant/oil plugs from your heads need to go on the new heads so don't forget to do that.

    Coolant Issue

    After I had my coolant exchanged out last year the coolant light would come on in the mornings when it was really cool outside for about a minute then shut off after I've drove it around. If yours is going on and off you may have an air bubble in the system they didn't get out and that's causing...

    I'm looking for more handling then anything right now. I've never taken it to the track but would still go sometime when I get a chance. I'd rather have it handle nice around town and in the corners. I know you get what you pay for. I'm just trying to figure out the best way without going to a...

    I'm looking at redoing the suspension for the winter beings a few of the bushings are squeaking now and it still has the factory shocks/struts with 82k on them. So far this is kind of what I've decided on and looking for some input. I'm doing this kind of on a budget. I'm looking to go about...

    Batterie light

    The majority of vehicles that come into work with a battery light on would be the alternator going bad cause it is not putting out proper voltage. The only vehicles I've seen where the battery light may come on on when the battery is bad has been any dodge/chrysler 01-05.
