    O'Reilly's MSL line " Wix Xp " knock off( Pic )

    We've been selling these for several months now. Got this adorable cut out thing within the last few days. One thing I like tremendously about these is they, on average, are $10-$15 in my store where the XP line is $20-$50+. They're also significantly more heavy, especially when comparing...

    97 Ford Expedition aftermarket remote delete

    So we have a 97 expo that has a remote start system. It also only unlocks with that fob and if the battery dies in the fob, the truck won't start. " If the alarm/horn relay clicks under the column " the truck will lock itself if someone parks next to you or walks by if you don't lock the doors...

    In buying a bobcat from a guy with intentions of replacing or rebuilding the motor in it. He told me the motor locked up while he was trying to restart it after it ran out of fuel. He claims someone syphoned the tank the night before, so he kept cranking it and cranking it, battery got low and...

    Why do AC manifolds hate me?

    I feel like I'm doing something wrong when it comes to manifold gauges. I've gone through 2 ac pro manifolds in the last 2 years, using them 3 times. Randomly freon stops flowing from the can when trying to fill through the low side port. I thought it was my crap can tap, bought the one that...

    97 5.4 triton oxygen sensors ZERO reading at start up

    I'm trying to figure what my 1132 and 1152 codes are from. Had my scanner hooked up today while driving to work. No output from the sensors until about 1/4 mile away from the house. After they start giving signal they match the other side of the motor. I'm very new to live stream data, so...

    1983 carbed 454 RV vapor lock fixes ?

    So last year, my 83 454 decided to crap out on me while driving in 95°f ish weather. Thankfully we didn't reach the really steep grades yet and we were able to limp the rig back home @ 35mph................. Carb had no fuel in it when it died. Couldn't hear the electric chaser pump pumping...

    "PURGING" oil filter with compressed air before removing???

    When I worked at a Harley Davidson shop 8 years ago, I was taught to poke a hole in the edge of the oil filter and blow air through it. When I did this, oil would come out of the oil bag and the filter was practically mess free when removing I now own 2 vehicles with sideways filters, I'm...

    Boat runs great for under a minute, and dies....( I'm lost )

    I'm chasing an electrician issue with my boat. The motor runs great at idle, gets on plane with no hesitation " 26 foot cabincrusier " runs for close to a minute before it starts lightly surging, then heavier surging, then surging so hard it dies. No matter no much I back the throttle off, it...

    Does a ""hot" coil make a difference with points?

    The coil went out on my 85 Chevy boat engine. It's a 290 hp rated 350. Would I gain anything by buying a hot msd or performance coil? We clean and check the points once a year. Just because... So I'm just asking what everyone's opinion is.

    15w40 or synthetic 10w30 for 115°f temps

    I have 2 boats with 350 engines in them. I've always used 1540 or 2050 in them but I've been curious if I'd gain anything from a full synthetic 10w30. Engine RPM never goes past 4k We cruise them at 3k. My only concern is certain spots of water can we warm especially late in the summer. What...

    15w40 for 99 vortec 350 4x4?

    Is there anything special with vortec heads/systems that I should stay away from 15w40? Truck has 150k on it. This is my first vortec motor, so I'd rather not do something silly right off the bat.

    Anyone have a late Harley Davidson or Columbia golf cart?

    My dad restored a basket case cart. Still not fully finished but it's working/running to a point. He literally had to build it from the ground up. Anyways. It has an electronic ignition, and I believe he put the magneto cam on incorrectly. I've been trying to find pictures of the cam in...

    Who's an older Consew expert?

    I just picked up a Consew 255rb2 for cheap here in my town. I love the Centra oil system, the machine over all seems a little extra heavy duty than other industrial walking foot machines. The bobbin is the biggest one available, bigger then M bobbins I love the machine. I don't feel there's...

    I have 3 motors that have the Rochester electric choke system. 2 quadrajet, 1 mercarb. I recently tried to add an electric choke to my 454 RV qjet and I just couldn't win. After 30 seconds, the choke blade opens up 1/2 way, and the motor falls flat on it's face. Add more tension to the...

    I bought the zipper pile weather stripping to reseal my 1979 windows. I've looked at a couple windows and I'm not sure how they come apart or come out of the slot to access the sealing tracks. Can anyone explain to me how this is done? YouTube seems to only show destroying the windows while...
