I've got to say, after I got finished ranting about the idiot @ Ford who decided to use rivets, and got down to actually doing the job, you are right....piece of cake. Took a couple of hours, max.

I read it and what I find interesting is that he talks about a persons perception of the light vs the actual effects. It makes perfect sense that two different light sources would require different optics. According to him an HID "upgrade" can actually degrade your distance vision. Another good...

I checked @ around 0530, to see where and when. That will teach me not to get up that early on a Sunday. Next time.

Either way, it works for me.

I work Saturdays and I've taken a few off lately, but I'm going to try to come out and meet some of you.

I originally sent this to DR as a PM, but the more I thought about it, I realized that there may be others with similar questions or some input so .......... Dennis, you flashed my car about 2.5 to 3 years ago along with 4.10s plugs etc. Since then you have done the "Cobra" exhaust. I have a...

I currently have the mods in my sig and am in the market for a CAI/RAI and possibly UD pulleys. I know there are a couple of levels of Trans upgrades, but don't quite understand what each entails. Eventually this will be a S/C car for the street, with the occasional 1320 pass, and I am trying to...

Actually, it's more like a rotary vane pump, and yes it does a better job. At 28 in/hg you likely will not dehydrate the system, which is the only reason, aside from removing non condensibles (air) you need a vacuum pump. Mitch B gave a very accurate description. If you get lucky and don't get...

OD on. Stock drive shaft, no vibration.

You had similar problems and you replaced the whole assy? I am about to resign myself to doing the same since like you said I,m wasting alot of time trying to save a few $$. Thanks.

Dennis sold his last week. I am interested in anything that includes a good blade. I will probably end up buying the whole assy new since the car is not driveable the way it is. If anyone still has a blade or whole assy, please PM me.

Thank you. That is how I believed that the fan should work. Now that you have confirmed that, I now believe that the added resistance caused by the fan hitting the shroud is causing the fan motor to shut off either by the computer due to high current or internal overload.

Yes Dennis tuned it about 2 years ago, and BTW that was money VERY well spent.. As for the fan damage, I am assuming heat/stress/defect since it does not appear to have sustained any kind of damage. It is the outer ring that joins the ends of the blades that is cracked and it contacts the shroud...

Same deal with a "modified" Dodge Dakota 5.9 @ 60 mph at 4 a.m. on I-10. He rolled down his window and counted down with his fingers. By the time I had him by a full car length we were @ almost 140. I would have never believed it if I had not glanced down at the speedo. Smooth.

Update Bled air from cooling system. The cooling fan only comes on for 10 sec or so at a time, A/C on or off. Could the fan rubbing the shroud be causing the motor to go out on overload? It only rubs when it gets up to speed. 15 min idling in the driveway, fan on 10 sec out of every minute or...
