LINK TO TRAILER I can find something similar but not as strong and with only 13" tires at Northern Tool, Tractor Supply, etc. for about $400 less, but I don't think they would hold up as long or haul as much as this one. Main uses w...

Chevrolet transporter

I worked on the truck for 3 days to get it ready to pull the trailer. I used it today to bring the '38 and '62 home from storage, south of Hastings. Nice to be able to haul them both in 1 trip, but I need another 250 lbs ft of torque for all this weight. Maybe a turbo 6.6 swap .. [URL=http://s1357.photobu...

My red neck engineering, but it got 'er done!

With all the snow melt, we had water up to the bottom of our sliding door in the basement walkout and surrounding the hot tub. The concrete pad does lean towards the house, so when we get a lot of rain, water pools there. Most of the roof melt was running down the deck to this area as well. I didn't want a gia...

What do you think about the procedure as well as using a 4 piece gasket as opposed to a 1 piece rubber gasket. I also looked at a vide...

2007 Chevy Silverado LTZ, any feedback?

I'm looking at a used 2007 Chevy Silverado LTZ for a bigger truck, and wondering if anyone has any good/bad knowledge about that year? I think some of you had a truck of this vintage. It does have close to 200K miles, so biggest concern is transmission life and if the LS engine needs a rebuild. It's hard...

How much more cooling is added when changing fan pitch from 27 degrees to 34.5 degrees?

Since I added AC last fall I am thinking that the 34.5 pitch fan will more a lot more air than the 27 degree blade. How much might just be a guess. I noticed the corvette fans available seem to indicate the the 34.4 pitch was used on AC cars. Maybe some of the other GM A body cars used a higher pitch on their a...
