    D585 coils primary resistance?

    I run 585 coils on my boosted LS. I have the factory ECM with hptuners so the dwell issues isn't an issue for me. In my case, I've had one coil go bad and replaced it with a Amazon coil. The bolt pattern on the 585 is different that almost all the others and even in Houston, I have yet to...

    Ford 8.8 differential oil

    I run 75w80 in my 8.8 drag car/street car. 800 HP, 3800 lbs. Specifically, Valvoline full synthetic in the bag. Only add enough friction modifier to not chatter on turns....usually no more than 1/2 a bottle. If it's a dedicated drag car with a spool, redline shock proof might be a good option.

    AN Fitting Experts —Advice

    If its not an Oring you can replace as mentioned above, I would replace the fuel rail and line. Fuel leaks are not something you want to take a chance with.

    Fram Endurance - synthetic and wire backed

    I like everything about the MGS filter for my application but the bypass at the bottom. Seems like it would pick up contaminates too easily.

    Valvoline EP Transmission LV type fluid

    I get the 5 quart jug of Mercon LV from Amazon for $36. Valvoline Dex 6/ Mercon LV is cheaper but I trust the Meron LV in my F150 more so.

    Use shop air to find AC leak?

    I'd try to push 2oz of UV dye and a pound of Freon it. System will have to kick on to circulate the dye so you might need more than can of freon. First inspect the condenser for damage and all the connection points for any wetness. I would not pressurize with shop air.

    New Tire Day! Off: Defender LTX M/S-2. On: Yokohama Geolandar A/T G015

    DT just gave me a $70 prorate on each of my 50k mile Defenders. Also through in a "found it cheaper" discount, and 10% military discount. I was out of DT with 4 new 275/50/20 michellens for under a $800. Also since I got the prorate, they wouldn't do the $110 instant rebate, I was able to apply...

    Alternator Recommendation - Camry

    Recently I installed a AC delco, didn't charge and squealed so I returned it. Then went the Advance Auto parts route, same thing. Ended up with an Orielly alternator, so for so good. I'm sure all three are Chinese chit, the orielly is just a little bit better chit.

    Replacing AC System Oil

    You need to replace all your components to replace all the oil. Evap, condenser, compressor, accumulator/dryer. Oil is hydroscopic and thus a desiccant to your system. Since you've had the system open a few times, I'd start to worry about moisture. You can try adding about 2oz of UV dye/oil...

    Illinois Dealership Association lobbying to reverse military APR cap rate

    I just bought a bunch of mulch on sale from Lowes for $2 bag and noticed I didn't get the military discount. I think it's fair as long as the sale discount is significant enough.

    Air conditioning not cooling. Is it the evaporator leaking since nothing else appears to be?

    I'm surprised recharging at home doesn't help if a shop recharged 2 years ago and it was fine. Case in point, my neighbor has a 94 Mustang that we top off each spring. No notable leaks, but it still maintains 30psi of static pressure, so we know it hasn't sucked in air or humidity. What kind if...

    Air conditioning not cooling. Is it the evaporator leaking since nothing else appears to be?

    Just top it off every year. Buy on of these and stock up on $8.88 cans of freon from Walmart. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07RMSL8SK?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_SRNTSH7XF1MK0V7D9J8T

    LockNLube Coupler

    Thought I'd come and report my experience with a locknlube. I have some aftermarket control arms that have zerk fittings. My regular lube gun and coupler for what ever reason could not force lube in, it would just ooze out and make a mess around the fitting. Spent the $30+ on a lock and lube...
