Anybody got a good set of used (lower mileage the better) Mach 4's for an 01 24v? Thanks...

I'm going through the ol' girl in order of need... Radiator will be here next week. My current OE track bar is toast so I'm going that route before diving into steering. I was looking at the Solid Steel Industries version when I stumbled across this: DODGE OFF ROAD Track Bar Highest Quality...

I started Saturday, on what I thought was going to be a nice day full of replacing all 4 ball joints on my '01 and front axle u-joints. Who knew, it would turn into 2 days full of swearing, hammering and sore muscles. The good news? I'm done. As a result of this I thought I would pass on...

So... I've been hearing this rhythmic clunk for a while. I'm a bit embarrassed to admit this, but I found the attached pic tonight. You think the u-joint is bad? LOL The front end of this ol' truck has seen better days and I thought about just sending all of this work on to the next...

Off the 2nd Gen 12v pulling truck, going to upgrade. Nothing wrong with it, asking $1000 shipped.

I'm looking for an engine stand for my 12v. I've got a 1,000lbs rated one and I've got some concerns about hanging a fully dressed 970-ish lbs engine on it. Not to mention going to roll it over and once it gets over center, it flips the stand. LOL So, I was looking at this one: But, then...

Here's the real one, really fast before my time runs out. I'll get rid of the other goof. Didn't know for sure Shaun if you were dead set on the 2.5 class and no water rule, so I threw it up there for debate as well. It's multiple choice so you can pick more than one. Later.

Alright, this year was fun and I learned a bit more about setups and watching other people and vids. I've been building and adding stuff as I go, but this winter the plan is to go ahead and get her "caught up" to speak. One of the many mods is getting rid of the open diffs. As I said before...

Decided to stay local this weekend instead of heading the the big one over in Platt City. Truck's doing a little better finally, been playing a LOT with the pump and different tunings on the AFC. She's finally starting to smoke right and not lay that big thick nasty crap out. She's shooting a...

Ok, I'm a wrencher, period. Short of equipment and know-how, I'm the type of person that would much rather do the work myself. But... there comes a point in life where you simply don't have the equipment or know-how to do it. I've tweaked my own pump and have really enjoyed the benefits of...

For 125 thousands fire rings what size groove would I need if I was cutting the head only?

:kick: Was headed to the dyno event, had just changed the fuel filter and installed a fuel pressure gauge. At idle I had about 15 pounds of pressure. So I stretched the spring, got her up to 30 pounds at an idle. I start driving down for the event and I had this little guy sitting on my...

But she's finally done. Seized wrist pin bearing, scored piston, cracked return line, busted oil ring on a new set of pistons, snapped timing pin in the p-pump, cracked fan shroud, runaway condition on the initial startup... yeah, that pretty much covers the highlights. But look at her now...

So I'm all excited with the arrival of my bearings only to be disappointed when I start to take the wrist pin out of the old #1 piston. It won't move. Uh oh... I take it over to the press, it comes out quasi easily but after I remove it, I find this... :doh: Son of a... ARGH! What the...

So, I thought while I had the head off and that pump was just sort of sitting there, like a pimple staring back at me, daring me to take it off and tinker. So, I did. Anyway, I thought I would remove a little more material from the fuel plate, so today at work I stuck it in the mill and...
