Quoting GSTwithPSI: Why, you ask Jon? Because G constantly talks out of his ass and tries to pass it as fact. Just a typical G post.Haha, very nice. I was trying to be nice and let him back up his position as opposed to directly saying he is wrong. I'm trying to be a bit nicer about things...

Quoting G: The heat shield needs to be made from an aluminum alloy not steel. Otherwise it just turns in to a big bbq grill.Why do you say that? From my understanding of radiative heat transfer and heat shields the opposite would be true. Steel has a lower thermal conductivity and thus...

I just wish there were more OEM style replacements. I simply want to replace the old incandescent bulbs with LEDs, but I don't need them to be zomg brighter, or have a fifteen bazillion kelvin color temp.

I'm really curious how much we sacrifice gear set longevity to compensate for poor shifting. It just makes me wonder how well a gear set would do if you have double syncros, a twin plate clutch, and THEN you used a much heavier gear oil because you don't have to increase syncro friction as...

P.S. I'm sure it's not to blame, but Earth's gravitational field does vary.

What three scales did he use? What about you? Measurement uncertainty is very real. If you used a 300 lbs scale with 1% accuracy at mid-range (you+abs unit), that's a plus or minus 3 lbs error. What if he put them on a 350 lbs scale by itself with an accuracy of 3% at the low or high end...

How much brake fluid is inside the ABS unit? Honestly, depending the the scales used, there could be a ton of error.

To determine if the original poster will even accomplish the goal of saving money, we have to know what equipment he has access to.OP: Do you have access to a shop press? What about a gear spilter plate?If you still want to do the rebuilding yourself, I'd highly recommend you go with...

Personally I think one of the best options out there is the Jack's gear cluster for a rebuild. It saves the hassle of shipping the entire bloody transmission, but it takes care of the hard part of doing a transmission rebuild. After rebuilding one of our transmissions myself, I think the...

Good work. I'd suggest a set of PNW-Elite 1051 low impedance injectors to break through that limitation and lay down some serious numbers!

Tach goes nuts? Like the needle swings all over the place with no relation to actual engine RPM? Sounds like a bad transistor pack to me as it drives the tach output. And if it went haywire, it's also highly likely that you would also stop getting spark.

Quoting mitsuturbo: There's absolutely no reason to pull the whole steering column.Listen to this man!! He's exactly right. First dash I pulled I did it with the steering column bolted up and the steering wheel still installed.Second time I figured out the steering column drop trick and...

Loosen/take out your reverse light sensor, and try it again.

Quoting Spyder: I checked the exhaust mani before I re-installed it. Put new exhaust studs in the head and helicoiled any studs that were loose. Used a multi layer metal gasket. New gasket for turbo to mani connection. new gasket for o2 to down pipe.It's also entirely possible that you had...
