    Gear bearing kit

    I'd have to agree that you should replace your bearings only IF they are actually showing signs of wear. The comment that it only takes one mistake in a 1000 to make it worth the extra money and effort, is comparable to the same ratio of defective bearings in a batch of good ones. "You never...

    Acetone?

    Bierbelly, I truly appreciate the added factual information. It's actually something I desired from the get go. The theory that acetone helps soften the "surface tension" of gasoline, to enable it to vaporize more quickly is what first grabbed my attention about acetone. Less blowby and...

    Acetone?

    Sgarlic!! Finally! I love your post. It essentially says what I've been thinking this whole time. My thoughts regarding plastics in the fuel system mimic yours. Gasoline itself is a fairly corrosive animal, and although not as bad as acetone, the fuel system is much more resilient than your...

    Acetone?

    Thanks ya'll. I appreciate everyone's opinion on the matter. It's why I asked. :D In the end, the hassle of adding 3-4oz per tank may be more than it's worth, also taking into account the corrosiveness of acetone. Thanks again.

    Acetone?

    Understanding the corrosiveness of acetone, I think a fairly simple test would be to place a bottle of acetone in any plastic gas container and see how the container holds up. My guess is it would hold just fine. I may have to spend the 5 bucks to see how it plays out... LOL My gut feeling...

    Acetone?

    LOL I actually used one of the few syringe type "thingies" that I have laying around from the kid's medicine. It worked out very well.

    Acetone?

    I'll do a search, but from the sounds of it, I shouldn't expect any final assesments beyond those in those sites that google found?

    Acetone?

    After reading several threads about putting acetone in your gas, I recently added some to a full tank. I have yet to be able to tell if there's any result from it, but thought I'd post here to hear other folks' thoughts. Here's a link to a google search for "acetone gas mileage"...

    Installing Motive 3.73 Gears soon

    You can get away with just reusing the crush collar. I've done 3 gear installs all reusing the crush collar without a problem. The pinion must be shimmed correctly, of course, but it's not an absolute necessity to use a new crush collar. Just FYI for future installs. I am sorry to hear...

    white face gauges???

    I was under the impression that all '99-04s had the ability to run the diagnostic. By running the diag, it will tell you where the gauge needles should be sitting at. The MPH, Oil Pressure... all of it, will be digitally represented. If you then reference the Bullitt Archive Instrument test...

    Installing Motive 3.73 Gears soon

    If you have a second vehicle, it makes it a lot easier. Take out the R&P, then take the old pinion with bearing along with new pinion and new bearing, to any local machine shop or garage, and have them reuse the shims from the old pinion, when pressing the new bearing on the new pinion...

    white face gauges???

    If you hold down the Trip Odometer reset button, while you're starting it up, it will run the cluster diagnostic. If you switch through the different readouts, it will tell ya at what position each of your gauges should be reading, among other functions. When i get home from work, I'll try to...
