I recently bought a 2010 Silverado 2wd and it has a clunk that I can't figure out where it is coming from. I always thought it was the strut extending and the spring making the clunk. At first I had the ball joints checked , replaced the sway bar links and then replaced the struts... My wife says she can fee...
I believe the term is running rich. I am getting really poor gas mileage and I just cruise. But it runs smooth and sounds fine. What can I do to improve my mileage ?
My wife started what she called " Small Town Christmas Tree lighting" 3 years ago as a way to draw our Community together ( post Covid), to raise funds for Hospice Niagara and McNally House ( Hospice in Grimsby On) and to collect non-perishable goods for Community Care. Our kids and their spouses are a...
Maybe I am forgetting something again but if I convert my generator from 6 volt to 12 volt, I think I have to find a new starter also - maybe. At least according to this video, I do - Who sells 12 volt starters for a 42 Ford flathead ? (probably an...
Just some random things I’ve done in the past year or so , some full sized paint and a little vinyl design as well. First is a 24"x48" vinyl lighted sign I created for a good friends home shop... Next was a speed shop jacket for me... Charity Tiki panel for the 2023 Detroit Autorama... Charity piece for...
My brother in law ordered a new Colorado. I'd mentioned a year or so ago if he ever wanted to sell his current truck to let me know. He let me know. It has 106,000 klm. Needs a rear bumper and some love around the box eyebrows but aside from that she's alright. He'd backed into something so yesterday I tugged...

Interesting or just frustrating ? I needed 4 more 8 foot 4 x 4s to finish my deck. Have you ever seen someone trying to load four 8 foot 4 x 4s into a Honda Fit ? Oh I got them in but I got a lot of amused stares from other customers in the Home Depot lot as I loaded them. I even got the back hatch closed but it was a...
I have dealt with 4 Krown outlets todate and our experience today in Port Hope was the best. The offices are usually filthy and cramped with nowhere close by to wait like a restaurant. But today we went to the Port Hope Krown and the office is clean and spacious and a TV and chairs (plural -that's a first t...

I was asked recently if I would sell an item for $200 and agreed to. I sent photos of the item and then sent photos of it packaged and then sealed ready to ship. I got a quote from UPS for shipping but not a written quote. UPS won't provide one until I actually ship because I was told shipping costs change so ra...

So I look out the shop window and thought I had bin transported back in time to the 60s in England. There were probably 10 to 15 all together Only thing missing for these Mods was the Rockers. What a fun thing to see on an otherwise dull day. Where is Austin Powers when you need him. Ed

Well there were a lot of rides and the weather was great. It clouded over a bit later in the afternoon but not enough to ruin the day. It was packed. It was a nice show to end the season.
I picked up a 41 Chrysler about 4-1/2 years ago. I didn't like the front end so I figured I'd simply change the headlights and take the point off the front. How hard could it be? I started by cutting some fender away and setting a 37 Ford headlight bezel in the hole. This is when the %#$# hit the fan.
Does a generator charge a battery ? I bought a new battery this spring and it's dead. I understand alternators charge batteries but why isn't my battery charging ? I'm tired of buying batteries !
Hi all. After being prodded to do so in my other post - here is my latest build. A 1973 AMX Javelin - was originally a 401 4spd car when it was born. I bought it as a roller out of Quebec as a drag car. Bought it sight unseen because it was so far away, and scarce to boot. Got it home and just about everything need...
I am in need of a pair of struts that can hold up the very heavy rear hatch on my 77 Ventura. I have tried my local Parts Source,CTC,NAPA but no luck . Just wondering if any one has any ideas. The old hockey stick prop I am using makes me a little nervous when unloading. Ed
Hey y'all. We're replacing the front end ( stock) on the Comet - then the Falcon. We ordered a pot full of stuff from across the river and everything was alright except the tie-rod ends. The ones they stock/sent look like they belong on an import, much too small. We'll gladly accept any suggestions from...
Sorry to post that I must cancel this year's meet. Future meets are not looking promising either. The ol back can't take much abuse anymore. I appreciate all those that have attended over the years.
Does anyone here have any experience with label makers ? I plan to rewire my whole damn car and I'm guessing some label makers are better suited to the task than others. Do they take different sized heat shrink ? Do they run out of ink fast ? Just wondered if anyone knows what brand works best. Not buying a...

I took the rod for a short spin to Keene and back. I haven't had it out for over a month and the weather is so nice. Anyway, the point is, nothing broke, nothing leaked, nothing popped open, nothing overheated. It all went well. I don't know if I can get used to this. And it was a beautiful sunny day. I must be...
They noted that 90% of all of the contamination passed through an air filter happens in the first 10% of the life cycle. Changing a filter more often than necessary is a waste fiscally and detrimental to the equipment.
a little off topic from filters but, lmao i am looking for a good used h-d tike if anyone happens to stumble into one. the ideal one would be something in reasonably good shape with a blown evo motor as i have a good spare motor from my s&s conversion on my 95. evo motors ran from the mid 80's till 99. ...

I see a lot of cars come through the shop that the customer has installed, or paid to have installed a new "cold air intake". The problem is that most of these "kits" actually suck in the hot air under the hood. Even better when they leave the intake air sensor in the cars fender intake so the computer thi...
