    Front wheel bearings

    A lot of the more modern rotors have races without any way to remove them. I guess they just assume people would rather have new races pre installed on their rotors.

    It's a running gag on Zip Ties and Bias Plies making fun of global warming activists. Peg is a 1 legged guy in Alberta with a bunch of diesel trucks that he runs with little to no emission controls. Like your 0 cat set up. If you like foul mouthed Canadian content and want to waste an hour...

    Leaf Spring Sag

    I just bought those 5 leaf clamps that were listed in the for sale section. So hopefully I can get everything upgraded to the 5 leaf set up. More places carry 5 leafs, they're the better option, and it'll probably save me money in the long run.

    Years ago I had an AOD that had a uneven gasket surface that only the warped factory pan would mate to. Strange stuff

    Gasket maker? What's wrong with using the gasket that comes with the filter? One of the downsides (upsides maybe?) of owning lots of used cars in the rust belt over the years is I've replaced more than my share of oil and transmission pans. And nothing is more aggravating than being on the...

    Leaf Spring Sag

    My brain isn't catching on by what you guys mean by spacers. My brain is looking at the set up and thinking I would need longer U bolts to run with an extra leaf. Is there some kind of differece in the widths of the springs between 4 and 5 spring leaf set ups? I've been hunting through the...

    Some would say so is scouring the internet, calling people, and showing up at junkyards all for car parts for 35+ year old vehicles that have almost no aftermarket support. Nobody I know in person understands my crippling Dodge Diplomat addiction. Plus, as car culture slowly dies its nice to...

    Leaf Spring Sag

    Christ. Well there goes that idea for the short term. Stupid question, can I get these 78-755 Leaf Spring Assembly "Rebuild" the iso pads And slap it all together in the car? Or is there some kind of mopar mystery alignment angle issue that I should be worried about?

    Leaf Spring Sag

    Yeah it's the crappy 7 1/4. Now I'm beginning to wonder if it would be more cost and time effective to hunt down an 8 1/4, drive shaft, and springs out of a 5th ave. It's like the further I get into this thing, the more annoying it gets. My only concern is my goal for an 8 hr road trip this...

    Yeah I figured this was done for. Any recommendations on an easy ISO replacement? Edit: can I be a cheap bastard and get away with these using the existing set up? 1976 - 1990 Chrslyer, Dodge, Plymouth rear leaf spring, 4 leaf

    I'm no Mopar expert, but I don't think this looks right. The passenger side looks like it bent. Or if this M body trash is supposed to look this way ill just ignore it.

    Yeah I thing vice grip garage's format only works when he's not trying to be the folksy version of the entire Motortrend channel. He's not relatable anymore. Junkyard Digs! Now there's a youtuber you never lost the plot. He's still making the same good content
