    Replacing Tail Light/Brake Light bulb sockets

    I've replaced my Tail/Brake Light sockets once before on my '89 Diplomat a long time ago with some OEM ones. Despite the car staying dry, these OEM ones are problematic and often take some wiggling for them to come back on. I THINK it's usually a problem with the way they ground. I'm wondering...

    '89 Diplomat upper and lower ball joints

    I remember this frustration from years ago when I did ball joints on a different M body. Doesn't seem to be clear information on threaded or press in upper and lower ball joints on 1989 Diplomat AHB. I know Chrysler changed from one to the other at some point but I don't know when. I went to...

    Battery suggestions for F body big block swap

    Both are quite safe when properly manufactured. I've had a lithium Ion in my old Police car for years. These are 12V batteries manufactured for use in vehicles. Yeah cell phones had an issue awhile back but these are not quite the same technology. General info: Is a 12V Lithium Ion Battery...

    Rear Swaybar bushings and links source

    Yeah, he's on the right track. I have the info at home that I can post tomorrow for nice aftermarket link and bushing with urethane bushings. I just can't remember the brand right now but one of the well know companies. I measured my stock ones and then found the HD aftermarket ones to match and...

    Battery suggestions for F body big block swap

    I know they are VERY pricey but I've bought two Lithium Ion 12V batteries for two different vehicles when the old battery went bad. Substantial weight savings, no acid/corrosion, longer life. Also much lower self-discharge rate which is great for cars not daily drivers! I know there are some...

    Anyone have siren controller installed?

    Wondering if anyone has a siren controller (and siren) in their AHB. I'd like to install one in my '89 Diplomat and would appreciate any info on which box you're using, and how it's wired up. I want one for shows, etc.

    The trouble with the FF Torsion bars...

    Hey while we are on the topic, fyi there is a difference in the pivot bushing link on AHB vs. Civi. Here's a pic of them side by side. Beefier one is AHB

    The trouble with the FF Torsion bars...

    I'm going to have to look at mine. I have the bigger bars from FF and all bushings from them including pivot bushings. I'm due to get it in the air for an oil change so soon. This is a pic I took after installation but I wasn't concentrating on this particular bushing but I think it looks okay...
