    Slip Yoke Plug Leaking

    In the middle of a TKX installation for the 66, I temp installed a new yoke so I could service the ATF and get the trans in the car. Today I went to pull the yoke, in preparation of having the driveshaft shortened next week, when I noticed a drop of fluid coming from the plug. I verified the...

    Clutch release bearing, plastic/composite?

    I always had good luck with LUK so I ordered a new clutch in anticipation of a 5 speed for the GTO coming next month. I was surprised to see the throw-out bearing included was manufactured using a plastic or composite inner sleeve. Looked and felt cheap to me. My gut said to get a different one...

    Any vintage Havoline fans here?

    Found this at an estate sale today tucked away in the back of a garage cabinet collecting dust. Now it'll sit in my garage for another four decades.;)

    New Kimber, plenty of 9mm ammo, can't leave the driveway for a few days, arrrgggghhhhh!!!

    My Kimber Micro 9 showed up last Friday but as luck would have it, I missed the narrow window of opportunity to get to the range before the storm hit, so now I wait. Thankfully, snow in this area of Zona doesn't last but three or four days. On the bright side, I had more time to relax in the...

    Another NGK vs China spark plug success

    I bought this generator about six years ago and only used it as backup power for my pellet stove so it's only got about three or four hours on it total. Since new it has always been a bear to start, requiring six to ten pulls to get going and most times I'd have to give it a shot of starting...

    New TIG welder

    My new toy showed up on Saturday, a Primeweld 225. Over the last several years I've done so many projects (mostly aluminum) which required drill/tap for assembly, that I thought it was time to just get a TIG welder and be done with hardware. Should also lessen the need for my MIG and allow me to...

    Need lube advise for noisy washing machine.

    A quick rundown of what I have. We bought a new LG washer back in January and it was quiet as a mouse for about two months, then started making a knocking/thumping sound any time the tub would change direction, whether during the fill/sensing cycle or agitating during the wash cycle. After...

    Tacoma fuel filter cut open

    This one came off of the truck in my signature. Filter was on for just over 75,000 miles so I'm estimating it filtered around 3100 gallons of gas. I'd replaced it before but have no clue what brand it is as there's no name on it and the numbers don't come up on a Google search. It looks like the...

    AC leak/fix. Anything I'm missing?

    A few years ago my 01 Taco's A/C started to put out warmer air, and from the bubbles in the sight glass I new there was a leak. At that time, I charged it back up (134a w/dye) and couldn't see any leaks using a UV flashlight. I checked several times over a month and never could find a leak so I...

    Maintenance stand

    Wondering what stands you guys are using when you work on your bikes. Since I started riding again, I find myself working on the bike about once a week and flipping it over on the floor isn't as back or knee friendly as it once was. I looked them up and found so many types and prices that my...

    Another Cop doing his job

    Since we're all so proud of Officer Wheeles for stopping that dangerous slow-poke driver the other day, I thought Officer Klingkammer should have equal praise for taking this guy to jail for speeding 120MPH through a 60MPH construction zone. Talk about brain-dead and stupid! Then the Dolt has...

    Woman kills armed intruder, nice!!

    This is just another reason that the great state of Arizona was voted #1 best state for gun owners. Another Dirt-bag bites the dust. Happy Thanksgiving everyone. http://www.azfamily.com/story/36906282/p...d-armed-robbery

    Mouse in the GTO, Game's ON!!

    Getting the GTO ready to take to a local show later today and noticed a wad of my seat batting on the passinger's floor mat. Found another in the bin that I keep in the trunk with all my cleaning stuff. I'm guessing the mouse got in through the kick panel vents as they were open. The garage is...

    This Buck followed me home today

    Been wanting a target 22 plinker for some time and finally got around to comparing them. Looked at the S&W Victory, Ruger MKIII, MKIV, 22/45 and the Browning Bucks. The Buck Mark felt great in my hand so that was it. I'll hit the range this week for a report.

    How long are your mower batteries lasting?

    Just wondering how many seasons or months you guys are getting out of your rider mower batteries. My Cub is just at two years old and the battery is starting to go south. Mower wouldn't start last weekend without help from a charger, that was after not being used for about three weeks. I checked...

    Unacceptable carry

    All I could do was shake my head at this epic fail. The wife and I were in line at the store yesterday when I noticed the guy (30ish) in front of us had a loaded Ruger 380 in his waistband, just above the right rear pocket. His shirt was hiked up over it to gain access to his wallet and it was...

    Quickie lube reviews, you can't make this stuff up

    After reading a BITOG post about the horrors of quick lube places, I found myself reading actual reviews from customers. It was like a good book that you just can't put down. Here are some of the actual review quotes that had me cracking up or scratching my head. "So I went to Valvoline...

    Man shoots out tires of AT&T truck

    What was he thinking? Can you say "jail time". A nice boxcutter would have gotten the point across. http://www.bostonherald.com/news/nationa...ck_outside_home
