    Synthetic ATF vs. Addiitives

    This is exactly what I plan on doing, incase my explanation wasn't clear enough, the same question still applies. I have a suggestion for the module on tranny fluid change - it is a variation of Dr. Bob's original idea. It can easily be done by one person working alone and doesn't have the...

    Synthetic ATF vs. Addiitives

    When you say top, you mean the metal line connected to the back of radiator, vs. the lower which is connected on the side, I just want to double check, don't want to make a mistake when dealing with the transmission. Thanks

    That sounds fairly straight forward, I think I may attempt to do that myself, and install the secondary filter. Thanks

    Synthetic ATF vs. Addiitives

    Ok, I'm almost positive that I'm going to use synthetic, but how hard is it to do yourself? Jifffy lube said that it would cost me about 140 if I wanted to have them do it with Mobil 1. I saw the explanation of how to do it on the explorer maintenance guide, and it seemed kind of complicated...

    Synthetic ATF vs. Addiitives

    Want to have the tranny fluid changed, but I'm curious of what benifits the synthetic fluid has. I mean it is 50 bucks more, than having regular fluid put in. Also if I get regular, how well do the additives work? thanks

    Mounting lights behind grille

    So how did this turn out, I'm interested in mounting my PIAA 1400's behind the grille, seems like a safe spot for them. I found this at galls http://www.galls.com/shop/viewProductDetail.jsp?item=GR105 but it doesn't have any dimensions, based on the picture it looks too wide for my 1400s. So...

    A couple of wiring questions

    These are probably some pretty dumb questions about wiring some lights. First off how do you splice wires? and second I bought an iluminated switch, it has 3 prong things on the bottom. I'm assuming one is for ground, one for power, and one coming from the relay? THird could someone explain...

    what is boost/how does it work

    I see now, about the whole more fuel thing. I'm probably beating this into the ground but baiscally because of the increased pressure in the cylinder there are more air molecules per certain amount of space to combust with the fuel? So it's kinda like having a larger engine with a smaller one...

    what is boost/how does it work

    one more question On the howstuff works article it said that normal atmospheric pressure is like 14.7psi, so if you had 8psi of boost would the atmospherice pressure in the cylinder be 22.7psi? And so the increased pressure also sucks more fuel in just because there is more of a vacume type...

    what is boost/how does it work

    Thanks for the info, I also found an article about it on how stuff works, but yours was a bit more detailed Stephen. Me and my friends were talking about preformance and cars, etc. and boost came up, so I figured this was the place to answer my question. As far as the pirellis I like them...

    what is boost/how does it work

    what is boost/how foes it work what exactly is meant by boost? And how does it work? All I really know is a supercharger produces boost. From my minimal knowledge of how a supercharger works, I'd say the super charger forces the air into the engine changing the compression ratio or something...

    Exhaust question

    What's the difference between a catback system, and if I were to buy a muffler ang go to a shop and have them install it. I was looking at truckpreformance.com, and you can get a borla muffler for about 85 bucks, and other threads make it sound like having someone do some custom work is pretty...

    Herculiner on my Bumpers/Trim

    I like my gray trim, so if I have to I will pay the extra money. I probably won't start untill spring, so I have some time to find the best price. I also just ordered zaino Z2, Z5, Z6, and Z18. That should hopefully take care of some of my scratches on the actual body.

    Herculiner on my Bumpers/Trim

    Where is the best place to get herculiner? It said the gray costs $140, do they make it in the quart size, because I don't think I'll need the whole gallon, and are there any alternative brands to herculiner?
