    Engine Cant figure out drive pulley's???

    I have an 04 Mach 1 with just barely 100k miles. My issue has me puzzled. If the car sits overnight and it rains during the night then the 1st start of the day the volt gauge will drop instantly from 14v to 12.1v for about 5-10 secs and just before the gauge jumps back to 14.3ish volts the belt...

    Wheel Combo questions/suspension

    Ok I just realized something, LMR said that a 285 is too small for a 17x10.5, but Nitto's tire/wheel chart says 17x10. Does nitto mean 10.5 or 10. Remember Ive never messed with different wheel sizes like this. LMR says the only thing that fits 10.5 is 315's or they trying to upsale?

    Wheel Combo questions/suspension

    For some reason I was thinking the mach block was good for less HP. Maybe I was thinking stock motor and internals...? Honestly the only reason I really thought about using the cobra block was that I have a cousin that owns his own custom shop. Its something I can get from him basically free...

    Pypes discontinued on AM?

    I cant answer for the Pypes or really help to much there. But many years back I did something similar on my 90 IROC. Put LT's on it but couldnt find any mid section that would fit with the LT's. Since the exhaust before the LT's were complete custom built at a local shop, I just went and had...

    having problems after replacing battery with instrument panel, fog lights, and flashers

    Never had that happen from a battery change. Sounds more like maybe a loose connection or loose ground somewhere. Why was the battery changed? Bad? or having other issues?
