    MPG difference between 2:73s and 3:73s

    I am about to buy a house that is twice the distance from work than my current apartment. I'm looking at 72 miles round trip and I currently get 17-18 hwy. She's my daily driver/only car and I need to give her the longest legs possible since gas is going through the roof. Buying another car...

    is it hard to change my alternator? please help.

    Only if the net rebound of the woofer cones equals the net propulsion of each hit of the woofer. Otherwise, you should see some gain, something along the lines of a CAI. :rlaugh:

    Battery light coming on

    I took it to Advance auto parts and they hooked their analyzer up to the car and I ran it at idle and at 2K rpms. I even took it up to 3K and nothing happened. The guy told me that all of the readings were normal and that there were no indications that their was a problem with either the...

    Anyone else notice that your 75mm Pro M is only 75mm on the inlet side?

    My physics class taught me that 1 inch is 25.4mm. 75mm is juuuuuussssst a hair under 3 inches (2.952755906 inches to be exact). When you say that it narrows down to under 3 inches, is it something tiny like 1/32 or 1/16 inch smaller? Measure it with the metric side of the ruler and let us...

    Battery light coming on

    What would cause the battery light to come on when the engine goes above 2500 rpms? The factory gauge almost goes to maximum charge as well as my sub amp turning off. As soon as I depress the clutch and the rpms go down, everything returns to normal. My 160A 3G alt is less than a year old...

    Install intake/TB/MAF now or wait for heads and cam?

    I've had some new parts laying around for awhile (Edelbrock Performer RPM, 70mm BBK TB, and 76mm C&L for 19# injectors) and don't know if I should go ahead and install them now, or wait another 6 months until I get the heads and cam (AFR 165s and AFM N41). It's my daily driver, and something...

    Car stumbled and died/pulled codes/???s for experts please

    Car has mods in sig. Smog pump is disconnected/no cats. Idle has occasionally stumbled for about 1 second or 2 like it misfired, then returns to normal. This happened 3 times in the last week (driven every day). Saturday night I pulled into my subdivision and it just died. I started it...

    Question about Tokico Premium shocks (the blue ones?)

    I'm in the market for some new shocks on all four corners. I have never been in a performance car with upgraded aftermarket shocks. The Tokico Premiums aren't too bad pricewise, and I just want to know how different the ride is with Tokicos vs replacement shocks such as Monroe Sensatracs. I...

    Question about wheel bearings/worn suspension components

    I've replaced both of my rear axle bearings and there is probably 1/8" of movement when I pull the axles outward after everything has been reinstalled. Not a whole lot, but I can definitely feel it slide out a hair and hear a slight "clunk". On my front wheels, when I grab the 6 and 12 o'clock...

    Unknown vibration from suspension?

    Need some suggestions- I have changed both of my rear axle bearings and I am still getting a low-pitched "wum-wum-wum-wum" sound when the car is rolling. All of my tires are in excellent shape-no flat spots. The sound goes away when I go around wide right curves at 30+ mph and when I jerk...

    Torque specs for carrier pin bolt, axle retaining bolts, and diff cover bolts

    My Haynes manual doesn't cover this (or I'm too blind to find it). I'm about to tackle the rear axle bearings and want to know how much I need to torque down the carrier pin bolt to. 25, 35, 45 ft/lbs? How much? Oh, and also, how much torque for the axle retaining bolts and differential...

    Decrease in MPG with addition of 255lph pump

    About a week ago my fuel pump went out and now I have a 255 (I plan on modifying the engine later on) with the stock non-adjustable FP regulator. At 1/2 tank with the stock pump I would be at about 122 miles. After the fuel pump fix, I only get 91 miles to 1/2 tank. I was under the...

    Fuel pump gone?

    OK guys, I tried charging the battery and the fuel pump still doesn't prime. I look for 12V at the inertia switch with the key on and get nothing. I did a search and check to see if I get 12V on the fuel pump relay under the MAF. Well, there are 2 relays under there with identical part...
