    AWD Owners

    Last night I turned into my development, as I have done many times in the past, and through the turn I heard click,click,click. Worried, went home and grabbed the wife and we went for a test drive and I couldn't duplicate the sound. Would it appear that the gears were "slipping" since I was...

    Ball Joints

    S/C V-8

    Those that have experience with supercharging the v-8: What differences would be there between using a "small" s/c and running 10lbs. boost vs. a "larger" s/c and 5-6 lbs. I.E. Eaton 45 vs 90. Also, what preferences have people had with roots vs. centrifugal. Does Vortech specifically make...

    OIL Guage??

    OIL GAUGE My oil pressure gauge bounces when i'm idling with a warmed up engine. I added some oil but it didn't help. With just a few more rpm's than idle it goes away and is not seen while driving. Might this be the signs or an oil pump going bad? Maybe something else. Ever since Ford's...

    Superchargers

    So I've heard of Paxton, Vortech, Whippel among others.... is one better than another? Would only some fit my 5.0? Is there any problem with picking up a used one? Is anybody selling a used one? $3500 is a pretty hard nut to swallow. how much adjusting can you do on one with regards to...

    Roof cargo carrier

    Does anyone know any makers of the clamshell type carriers? I found some on the web and they made Thule look cheap/inexpensive. I see one in "The Sportsman Guide" mag. for $35 but it is the soft one by Samsonite. (PerformanceProducts lists it for $72) I'll probably get one, but I wanted a...

    V8 Headers

    Well, it looks like i'm going to have to replace my headers out of need rather than by want. The wife called me while driving it and said it was making a noise when she stepped on the gas. I'm thinking "great"!-sarcasm. When she pulled in the driveway I could hear it. When revved, it sounded...
