    Vinyl Dye Recommendations

    Anyone have a good recommendation for vinyl dye? I want to dye some panels black. I want the finish to be around factory, not super glossy, but maybe just a hint of gloss. I really don't want that fake/dangerous high-gloss look, more flat then anything. Doesn't matter if its spray, rub on...

    Bypassing Steering Wheel Lock

    Hoping someone could help me out here: I just bought a 'new' car, a '89 Nissan 240SX, the guy thought he had the key, but it wasn't the correct one (the car was at his grandfathers, his house was about 45mins away, so no just going in the house and looking). Well, the steering wheel is...

    With all the V8 talk...

    I'm surprised no one has mentioned some very big news to Ford guys: Ford is relaunching the OHV 302 Boss. Sure, we got a "Cammer" 5.0 a few years ago, but us pushrods guys wanted something more. Specs say up to 500HP, Cleveland style rocker covers and a $10G price tag.

    ANy way to "fake" a driving cycle?

    I just failed my emission test because the on board computer was "not ready" and that it needs to be rest via a driving cycle. The truck simply isn't driven a whole lot, so is there any way to fake a driving cycle? I reset the computer just before the testing by unhooking the battery. I...

    fixing messed up wire resistance

    I need to tap the intellectual resources here- I recently removed my stock fuel tank and replaced it with one that is mounted in the bed. In doing so, I needed to extend the wiring harness that connects the fuel pump to the rest of the truck. Since I did, I increased the resistance of all...

    What's the CEL clear procedure?

    On my truck (Ranger) I've replaced the stock fuel tank with one in the bed...everything was good; until I got a CEL. I'm fairly confident that it's a code for "fuel cap not on tight"-- my truck doesn't have a seperate "check fuel cap" light-- and the seal between the stubby fuel neck and the...
