100LL is also at our airports. It's referred to as low lead because it has a lower concentration of lead than the higher octane avgas. This will prevent the plugs from premature lead fowling, especially the lower plugs on the opposed cylinder arrangement. Some aircraft are not certified for the...

Actually, you want to hold the fluid in the cooler for a certain amount of time, so think of it as you would your engine cooling system. Larger surface area, yes, but too high of a flow rate will not cool the fluid as effectively as letting it "dwell" in their a little longer. The SD diesels'...

Ben, check out the pans from Derale, I think you'll like them. I've used them for years on various transmissions. As for an external cooler, I modified one from a newer Super Duty. Cheap and effective.

You touched on the most valuable part of your project. 4 years ago, I nearly bought a beautiful truck (and would have saved myself thousands of $ doing that), but instead looked for and found a "builder". I am glad I went that route because I learned a ton about these trucks, and I wouldn't...

As far as the shipping, its not the weight but the size of the package - not sure if it would be small enough for ups and truck freight is just plain high now days! Personally, I would pass on that price. I picked up 2 complete sets, 1 long bed and 1 short bed for $150 last year. They were...

I had great luck with the fit and form of my carpet from NIFTY PRODUCTS. They are the ones that produce the Catch-All floormats, among other things. I can't say if they are supplied by ACC or not, but the one for my 4-speed 4x4 trans. hump fit like a glove and reached both encroachment plates...

I'm with Lee - put both XLT trim pieces on it.

I like 3.50's too - heck, I use 'em with 33" tires, but I have a t-case to help with that. My buddy with a 2wd and 2.75's, on the other hand, sides with Dennis - Big block engine for fetching boats is the way to go. He has more issues keeping traction than not enough umph when pulling his boat...

I managed to replace mine (left-side) without any disassembly using some pre-bent needle nose pliers. I actually found metal versions at NAPA, so went that way. The metal ones are commonly used on carb linkage applications, so they are around if you look.

Damn I'd like to just finish mine so I COULD drive it this winter! All stripped down and too many chunks in cheap primer to go puttin' lights and mirrors back on it, and risk letting corrosion set in under the cheap primer. I want to get back onto it now that I'm back to work - its nearly...

Actually you're seeing fairly common issues. First, try to get everything wired up correctly - I've had troubles before trying to find problems when something is missing from the circuit. Get everything wired up and known good bulbs. Most common problems (after completing the wireup) are...

That's right, and my '77 falls in the other range - X82757

Yes, and not even to mention brakes. Those wheels add a tremendous amount of mass and unsprung weight. I rarely see someone that has upgraded their braking system after putting those monsters on.I prefer the 16 and 17 inch route, simply because of greater tire selection. I personally just...

Just an idea, but put some vents back in the holes - they don't have to work and nobody else will ever know.
