There are two types of Rotella T. One is a 100% group III, the other is "Synthetic". (The Rotella T Synthetic in the blue bottles is 87% group III, and blended with the better stuff for the other 13%. The stuff in the white bottles is a group III oil, and is better than most group III's due to...

Thanks for the PM's but you should let us all know what's up. Somebody might have seen something that could help you out. Places I'd look. Next weigh station down the road. Next truck stop down the road. (They have security cameras everywhere, and this guy is going to stop and check out his...

I think it rocks. :) Looks great, and being further back than the stocker, it should work better too. I like it very much. Mind if I copy it in many ways by modifying the stocker? LOL Adding a LED lamp from another wing would be no problem at all. Just the work involed, and sourcing the...

Learned a lesson? WTF are you talking about? The semi truck driver should have started to slow down the second his car moved back infront of him in this rain, and the truck should NOT have been in the center lane in rain anyway. Do not get me started on how rude, arrogant and just plain...

Did the semi truck stop? Was he cited by the PD for following too close? Who's his insurance company? Are you injured? ***** Cold hard truth here. (I do this for a living, so feel free to ask away.) Your car is a total loss. The front impact bar is swayed over to the left side by the...

I coated the bearings too IJ. :) Two reasons. 1) To decrease the clearance as much as possible w/o causing a wear problem. 2) To protect them in the case when there is contact with the crank journals as a last line of defense against wear. The more metal to metal contact you have, the...

Site for the orders? Still waiting out here. (Not so patiently anymore I suppose... LOL)

I put the oil cooler on top of the FMIC. Relocated the coolant tank between the battery and radiator. (Stock bracket fits actually with some simple bends, and then bolts up to the electric fan shroud, and bolts into existing brackets for the fuse box on the back side of the battery, like...

Still watching this, want a front set in the best grade with some other options. (Should only need to buy them this last time I hope, other wise, it might be better to buy two of the cheaper grade mats, and have a spare for later? .....)

Totally strange. I tried to powder coat the pullies and they did not take to that very well at all. (The metal actually released gases at 400f that caused bubbles in the powdercoat...) Then had to thermal coat them, and so far, no problems. I've had an oil pump pully damaged by an idiot...

Damn USDM market. Ford here offers the excreation, windstar (As in wind from beans) and other fine automobiles you would expect at the Hertz rental counter, but nothing fun to drive short of the rustang. (Want a truck, they have tons of trucks, but then again, I don't need to haul bricks...

I like the RX7 unit, but it's not easy to fit this bugger anywhere you want. Note the center support is history, and what's left is a custom modification that just happens to use the top part of the stocker, and some brackets left over from another oil cooler that I'm now going to put on my...

Very interesting reading. http://motorcycleinfo.calsci.com/Oils1.html Two types of Rotella T. (one is not synthtic, and it's a group III oil, but that's not the one I use.) :) I dont' have a cat anymore. (And I don't care if it works really since I'm not Vegan, or worried about the...

Hi Jetjock. Where did you get the info on the Rotella T Synthtic oil being not a pure synthtic oil? (What I've read before says it is, and was compared to MobileOne, Delvac Synthtic and some others, and it came out tops price to quality wise.) I also use it in my KTM bike with no problems, but...

Have to ask, but what are the requirements for getting into and out of Canada Eh? (Sorry, but it was too tempting...) Passport needed? Other than that, I've been looking forward to this one since Portland last summer. Just pulled my calendar.. Looks like on the 6th I have to be in Rapid...

18? Ok, 12 front. 8 rear. Total of 20 for the brakes. (Well, one more for the master cyc.) 6 for the engine. One "piston" in the oil pump bypass.... One for the clutch, and slave cyc. Plungers and other moving parts in the ISC and injectors, so you could call them pistons too I suppose... LOL...

I ran one quart over what's reccomended on a stock motor all the time. On my non-stock stroker motor, the minimum is 10 quarts, and it can hold 12 without foaming or problems. So, run 6 quarts of oil in your 7MGTE all the time. Also run nice and thick oil. I run Rotella T Synthtic, and I...

Every now and then when it's really cold, or they have been sitting for a few days and might have some rust spots on the swept area, they squeel, but generally they are completely quiet. (They do pulse however, and they have a balance problem at higher speeds, so I need to turn the front rotors...

It was either 75.00 or 80.00, can't remember now. Pipe is polished stainless steel, ends are chrome plated aluminum, and have built in qualty screw type stainless clamps and reinforced silicone hoses that attach the flexable stainless pipe to your radiator and Thermostat housing. They claim...

Not exactly sure on the oil temp, but I belive it's around 180 f. Works great too, on cold days, the T-stat side is nice and hot, and the other side of the cooler is barely warm to the touch, if not outright cool. But, on hot days, when it's needed, you can really feel the heat being...
