Please be more specific about the application. Most pan filters double as an oil pickup, why in the world would you consider getting rid of something like that? Also, if you're doubling up the filtering it should pretty much eliminate any need to replace the rock catcher aside from a...

Those clips look a tad damp. I suspect your locking is probably due to a leaking wheel cylinder. Brake fluid soaked shoes will cause early lockup. If the shoes are soaked with brake fluid they are junk and need to be replaced no matter how good they look.

Since this post has gone back to the top I figured I'd supply a little update. The car now has 338,000+ miles on it. I have run VRP 0w20 since 315,000 with no real change in oil consumption. At 335,000 I switched to VRP 5w30 and is trending to be about a half quart once I hit 5000 miles on...

If it's able to soften deposits inside an engine I would say in the Long Long Term it would keep intake runner deposits slightly softer where intake cleaners could have more effect. There's really nothing to lose by running R&P, but again, I wouldn't expect noticeable results with any kind of...

That pitting reminds me of the type of erosion caused by cavitation. Never seen it on rod bearings but I suppose it's possible.

It's a good thing you ride in CA, I had commander 2's on my old victory vegas. Most attributes about them I found great! Rain and wet roads was not one of them!

I had a short test drive in a cyber truck and a couple things stood out to me which seemed unacceptable. -The wind noise was awful, maybe just a defect on this truck but certainly made for a bad first impression -The headlights are garbage with any kind of winter weather - any kind of frozen...

If my brake fluid isn't basically clear, I'll crack the bleeders and fill the reservoir until it is. Doing it this way basically results in once every 2 years i'd say.

Ish, he should change his oil once in a while. I am not a fan of those engines and they are completely intolerant to neglect. I'm sure it's had the nasty start up rattle for thousands and thousands of miles.

I've seen worse than that after 2 years. It's just cosmetic, I would run them unless you like to waste money.

I had an instance where a road hazard sliced the sidewall of one of my tires on the silverado when the truck was brand new under 5000 miles. My wife tried to surprise me and wanted to get a new tire put on while I was at work. My truck has the goodyear duratrack LT275/65/18 load range C. They...

If the carburetor is a clone of the carbs used on the honda GX series engines it might have a removeable pilot jet which looks like this and going a tad larger might smooth it out. The only way to correct the low throttle surging is to richen up the low speed circuit which is why running a...

Sounds like to me the requirements were filled by the B1-B

For a stock 4.8 from that era it seems the consensus is about 1400-1600 What is it you are trying to do? Make it quicker? Did you modify the engine in a way that reduced low end torque and trying to take advantage of more top end power? If you were racing the truck then they typically...

Brakes on, accelerator pedal to the floor, tires not spinning. The Rpm you can achieve is the stall speed for that particular setup. The same converter behind a 5.3 with more torque would stall at the higher rpm.

I'm glad everyone is pretty much in agreement to not preemptively change out a perfectly good axle. I tell people all the time the factory parts are more often than not the best parts that vehicle will ever see. Just hit 334,000 miles with the 07 camry, factory CV's, factory boots.

I just noticed the 8 stud pattern, not 3500 lbs axles... haha but there should still be dual lip seals available.

Looks good. Next time find the dual lip seals which tend to do a tad better especially when there are brakes involved. If those are 3500 lb axles a likely candidate would be National # 473336

This would make it the older version based on the Gen1 SBC
