I've seen a few trans experts in here... 2008 Tahoe 1-2 shifs hard at part throttle. Little throttle and full throttle good. Other shifts feel good. MAYBE 2-3 slightly soft part throttle, but not noticable. Symptoms improve as temps increase. Cold is worst. Hot is very good. Replaced 1-2...

This forum always seems to love nuts-and-bolts topics. I've had the '74 Dodge for 5 years. It was essentially a barn find. Needed some work to wake it up and make it road worthy. One issue I've ignored this whole time was a chattering clutch. This year, I've worked up the motivation to take...

My old Dodge always had a tendency to keep the choke closed too long on cold days. I eventually came to the conclusion that the exhaust crossover in the intake manifold that heats the choke coil was plugged. So, off the intake came. The factory blue paint on the existing intake gaskets made it...

For a few years now, the defrost function in this car had been poor. No matter what mode I'd set the HVAC panel on, air would mostly flow out of the dashboard vents. Not the greatest situation on a icy winter day! After snaking an inspection camera down the vents, the problem was obvious: the...

Rear ended during an early morning cruise. The heavy step bumper was certainly an asset in this case! Here's the "damage". A chain, a tree, a beer, and it'll be good as new! Zero paint/sheetmetal damage. The picture of the Cruze doesn't show well, but there's a bit of damage there. New...

1974 Dodge 360 with 80k on it. As far as I can tell, this was the first time it's ever been opened. Exceptional, in my opinion. Everyone loves shaft mounted rockers!

The '74 Dodge has been a terrific runner and driver for the past 3 months I've had it. I've put nearly 2500 miles on it already! However, I've run into an intermittent problem that occurs only about once every 2 weeks. As most mopar small blocks will, it will run smooth and quiet throughout the...

This job is already done, but I thought I'd throw this out there. Maybe I'll learn something. I installed some factory Ford molded plastic splash guards on the Crown Vic a few weeks ago. Fit great, work great. The car stays much more clean! Unfortunately, they required drilling. 2 holes in...

Anyone have experience with both? Tough shopping for mufflers when you really don't know what you're getting till it's installed. I've heard loud chambered, quiet straight-through, and vice versa... so I really don't know what to expect when it comes to these specific models. Like the rest of...

This can be a highly debated topic. I've done some reading on it, and there are a lot of mixed opinions out there. Unfortunately, most of them are from financial advisors and such, who are great at delivering an analytical view, but I'm more interested in hearing about other's real world...

Howdy! New member, long time lurker. Recently (last night) dealt with this issue on my Crown Vic last night. This is one of many other vehicles that I've addressed this problem on - It seems to me that this is relatively common, or at least more common than it was maybe 15-20 years ago. Is it...
