    what indicates that one is bad?? Is it that it is bent, because I may be in the same boat.

    Clutch issue, need some help. Searched with no luck

    stock probably wouldn't hold up. I'm replacing a king cobra this time around.

    Clutch issue, need some help. Searched with no luck

    okay, where do you think the best place to buy all that is, price and reliability wise. Summit?

    Clutch issue, need some help. Searched with no luck

    Part 1: When at low speeds, like coming to a stop, after depressing the clutch, if I turn the steering wheel, I am getting vibration through my clutch pedal. Part 2: I also did a brief search on this. Too many hits but nothing specific. My clutch is starting to slip a tad, I am thinking...

    FOUND SOLUTION, DID NOT BLOW UP MY 91 LX

    Its an old boating trick as well, thats why you attach that seperate sacrificial peice on the bottom of the prop housing assembly. It corrodes and allows the prop housing to resist corrosion. I can't remember what it is called off hand, but normally you have to swap them out once every 2 or so...

    Brake light wont shut off.

    I have heard, as seems to be indicative on mine, that my brake light stays on because I need new brakes. The rear drums are very worn. It will only go off if while driving I hit the brakes a bit hard. Under hard accel, it will kick the light back on again. Is it possible you may need a brake job?

    Insurance

    Why is anyone giving the idiot a chance. Even with less then 10 posts I knew better then posting this topic in tech. He could easily post in talk and get responses. Also, his childish flaming is uncalled for and so ignorant that he warrants not getting his question answered at all. If I was...

    What happened with my ram charger fan install?

    I second Hissin, Always fuse any 12v source coming from the battery. It can help prevent some very costly meltdowns, and even fires/battery explosions. Not bad for something that costs no more then 2 bucks at a home improvement store.

    Running HOT HOT HOT, help me out

    bypassing the heater core really won't cause a huge deal. It acts like a 2nd mini radiator in a sense, allowing only a TINY amount of heat dissapation. It may change the pressure a little bit as the system now has a bit less volume overall, but once again, I don't think the heater core has squat...

    How tight can you spin a 5.0?

    Sure there is, if the power that is left up there exceeds the power lower in the rpm range after the shift. It is a power curve, draw a straight line across it. Even if you shift at peak HP everytime, you can still gain some time by staying a bit higher into the rpm's because for some charts...

    Please view before posting.....NOOBIES!!

    Being a newbie myself, when I first got here I read the stickies. I try not to post mundane crap, and I NORMALLY check the search first. I don't think I have ever read a single "What HP am I making post" because I think they are retarded. If you ask that question, you should have your post count...

    underbody neons

    Go LED's for sure. You can actually get them with a dial that changes their color, and if your a savy coder, you can program a chip that will allow them to dance to music. They also can be installed in flexible tubes, last far longer, take less power, make less heat, and actually hold their...

    6x8s speakers bass cuts out over volume 5

    Could be a wattage problem. It takes more power to push bass then treble. Have you checked to make sure they are getting sufficient power, or that they have clean connections?

    How can I get these wheels clean....

    If they are chrome, or even aluminum, don't hesitate to use a brillo pad and coca cola, or even alum foil and coke. Never underestimate the acidic nature of cola.:)

    Car out of body shop, need detailing help

    99% chance its just dust, usually from body filler and the paint prep stage. Since you may not be able to wash it for a bit, just take a pressurized air hose at a few psi, and blow off the dust. As long as it is dry, it should come right off.

    cd changer with kenwood mustang radio

    My best suggestion would be to call Kenwood first. If your all wired up correctly and it's not sending the audio signal, maybe they have an exact solution instead of us guessing.

    Drop in engine with headers on?

    I had to laugh when I read the chasing the magic gasket line. I'm half tempted to add that into my sig just for s**ts and giggles.

    Speedo woes****

    Good point, and more then likely you are correct. Start simple and work your way up is the way to go. Let us know what it is when you find out.

    Speedo woes****

    Not that I know exactly how to fix it, but if you pull the instrument cluster, and the speedo cable out of the back (its a bit difficult, but will come out), you can shoot some lubricant down into it. Mine had a nasty squeek in it that for the longest time I thought was my belt slipping, but...
