Mine was $3500 in 1988 it was a 1976 bmw 2002tii with the fuel injection removed and a Webber carb. It has been restored and traded in to a Mazda dealer. My dad bought a 88 rx7 turbo from the Mazda dealer and said he had a son almost 16 they called him when they got a good trade. I saved for two...

It’s too nice 2014 4 door like new w 22k miles on it. Hard and soft tops. We had the wireless ignition module go out recently… that was fun. Jeep put a wireless module between ignition switch and starter, it is used for the remote start feature. When it fails it is a dealer only item as it just...

I delete the abs from my personal vehicles. I cannot stand the pedal pulsing abs they put on these trucks, i like to control my own brakes Just personal opinion I make brake lines to plumb around the abs pump and remove the whole thing from the truck. Cost $20 I blackout the light bulb in the...

They failed how? Like you broke a main leaf or they went flat? What was the fix new springs?

I would run the manuals from day one No slack not ever But if you want to run some hydraulic ones first I would use new. They don’t have to be ford but they should be decent. Still they will need to pump up so you should prime the oil pump at the very least

This is posted on the wall in my shop. Your chart above is correct

Once you do it a time or two removing the 99 upper plenum to get access to that tensioner is no biggie it takes about 20 minutes. I can totally see the logic in using the hydraulic ones first But the manual is not that difficult to setup so don’t overthink it

Well guess what I just ordered some decals as well, I need a set So I went to the link and filled out the form It does not clearly say on their front page that they will ship your order and you will be invoiced Once you hit the “order sticker” button and enter your info They ship your...

No pricing? And they just sent the stickers? Never got any payment Info? That’s crazy they must think you are a body shop

Everything means the engine and trans Or everything means the dash? )all the lights and gauges) If the engine is cutting out dead then I suspect the eec relay or fuel pump relay If you lose the whole dash then it is an electrical connection usually at battery cables or fuse Box(es)

I know I was teasing they should all be pushrod v8 Gen ii explorer too heavy for the old 4.0 overhead valve

The fill plug was Mia!?!?!? That’s crazy

Oem lifters were superior to these aftermarket dudes, melling makes the best aftermarket ones but that does not mean your Builder chose the good expensive ones The ticking will Mushroom the end of the effected pushrods and wear a pocket into the rocker arm, every few years you can just replace...
