    Burning through starter solenoids, help!

    No, that only happened once, and I smacked it and went back to acting right for a couple hours before it completely gave out. I don't understand how it's completely killing a battery when they do randomly decide to burn up. Twice now it's killed two of the best battery on the market. I'm...

    Burning through starter solenoids, help!

    I had one stay shut before it went out later that day, I gave it a tap and it cut off and acted right. I'm gonna take a look over all the wires again and see if I missed anything.

    Burning through starter solenoids, help!

    I recently purchased a 79 bronco with a 460 swapped in, she runs like a champ, but I've had it a week and gone thru 4 starter solenoids and replaced a brand new optima red top battery. The starter is new, alternator is new, and all wiring to/from them is new. It all appears to be wired correctly...

    Total restoration time, input would be great.

    Update: engine and trans are coming out this weekend a 408 stroker will be in build process next week, going with a beefy c6 with a 2400-2800 stall, expecting 500 hp from the stroker. Looking at a month build time on the motor, adding a few days to build and install a tranny, during the down...

    Total restoration time, input would be great.

    Not much highway cruising, and I apologize I neglected to mention it is 2wd. Monster transmission has the c6 I was looking at. My rear end is factory original, I'd guess and say a 8.8 ls. There's a good chance I'll swap it out for a 9", I've always heard the AOD trans to be unreliable and...

    Total restoration time, input would be great.

    It's been a good long while since I've visited the site, I know, I've been slacking and I apologize. My 84' has sat for a few years and she's about to get a complete make over, I've got $15k budgeted for the build and my goal is for her to be back up again in early January. I unfortunately won't...

    Tires on my 2wd 2012 xlt Screw

    I've got a chance to pick up a set of 295/70r17's for a swinging deal, and was curious how they will fit on a factory 2012 f150 xlt crew cab, on the factory 17" rim, currently wrapped in 255/65r17s. Thoughts, gentlemen?

    an exellent result in boredom and some paint
