    New truck tires

    The best thing you can do is run correct air pressure (and maintain it). Regular rotations also help for maximum mileage. We used to say: S...select the right tire for the job M...maintain your tires and vehicle A...align your vehicle on a regular basis R...rotate tires as necessary to...

    New truck tires

    I hope they serve you well... Highly unlikely you got a bad "set". Production anomolies are extermely rare (less than 1/3 of 1%) and to have 4 "problem" tires on one vehicle is highly unlikely...more than winning the lottery unlikely. However, without investigating it's hard to say why they...

    New truck tires

    BFG is made (and owned) by Michelin. I would be surprised if this was a common occurance. I would be more surprised that Michelin wouldn't do something about it if they knew. Sometimes the dealer reccomends the wrong tire for the wrong application....this would not surprise me. BTW, I just...

    New truck tires

    Cooper Tires used to be made in the USA. They were a small company with older technology but, their tires worked pretty well as they were made with quality materials by people that care. they are now made in China and other countries in the pacific rim by the lowest bidder. I wouldn't expect...

    While I have been waiting for some fuel system parts I have spent some time re-checking progress thus far.... I moved some of the wiring looms to ensure the best placement of the harness and I have also re-taped some sections as well as added some "zap straps" (or wire ties). I have re-torqued...

    The Canoe workshop was very interesting and I learned a few things . The afternoon workshop was a "prop shop" and that blew me away. They repair all types of props up to 50" in diameter! Walked us through every stage...theey also repair lower ends and straighten shafts as well. They will...

    Another screw-up on my part.... While looking at marine pully sets at the marine distributors websites (listing for obsenely high dollars) I came across a great deal from CVF racing on a complete set for SBC (crank, w/p, alt and p/s) for a reasonable amount...so, I orderd one. At first...

    Last night I cleaned the drive trim pump and found the plastic resevoir to have several cracks. I let it sit for a while and found the "o" ring also leaks. So, I find this amazing solution... http://www.getrealperformance.com/product_boxes/500-101F.php I would so love to do this, but at $...

    Offshore Powerboats

    I love the Offshore guys! After almost 15 years of road racing I know what goes into a championship race team. To see these guys take that to the water at the level (and speeds) they do is amazing. This is still a dangerous sport (lost some experienced men in Key West last year) and everyone...

    It's been a big week so far in the garage. My Hi-Tek exhaust manifolds arrived from Austrailia....and I couldn't wait to test fit them! They are so light compared to the factory manifolds and risers it's crazy. They look great too, all in chromed stainless steel they make this V6 really look...

    Installed the starter, flywheel housing and main wiring harness, coil and distributor last night. Still a few grounds to snug up and I have not installed the carb yet so just a few more wires to go. It was so cold in the garage I had to take a break every 20 minutes or so to warm the fingers and...
