Re: Rear main leak
I think I have the same problem. I just found an allen screw on the floor under the engine and lots of oil on the floor after running. Where does this plug go and how do I get at it?
Thanks...

Re: 31 Five Window Coupe Too Small

I have never been an extended cab guy, but driving a RPU, I certainly see the reason for it. I personally like the Tudor, which is really a very extended pickup cab, It allows you to move the front...

Re: T5 vs AX 5 or AX15
So am I. If you have the Mitchell puller for the drive shaft, you don't need to remove the axles and I never did. Must have been a brain fart. I will review and revise.
Thanks

Re: T5 vs AX 5 or AX15
The T5 has its' limitations, especially in a rock crawler Jeep or high horse power S10, but behind a 4 cylinder banger, you will never hurt it. The main reason for putting a T5 in is for the O/D and...

Re: Recommended Turning Signal Switch
In previous postings and conversations, bells, buzzers, flashing lights and now clappers have been suggested. All good ideas, but too irritating. I just want the switch to cancel.

Re: Best Electric Fuel Pump?
I am running a K&N, available in 2 psi or 4 psi if you want to run a regulator which I do. Perfect pressure for a 97 or other low pressure carb.
