If you have a 2009 or newer Chevy Silverado, I hope you haven't experienced how weak and bad they are. If so, you probably have a good size repair bill. Iam looking for a good strong aftermarket bumper like: http://www.buckstop.biz/Images/rear/P9300018_l.jpg I can't find anything near by that wo...

So all you guys running efi, what horsepower does your engine produce and what lb per hour injectors are you running. I know they have calculators for injector sizing but I wonder how close they really are. Raising fuel pressure will obviously raise flow some as well to make the injector seem bigger. I...

I'm going to get a small utility trailer for home project use. It will be towed behind my Impala. Minimum cargo space needed is 4' wide by 6 (prefer 8') long so I can haul sheets of plywood, etc. What should I be looking for? I'm new to trailers, though I have driven with them occasionally they've never bee...

580HP and 556 lb of Torque. Looks like the new camaro SL1 would be a nice complement to el camino, parked in stalls next to each other. No horse to clean up after. http://www.chevrolet.com/camaro-zl1-sports-car/ -- Edited by jim larson on Tuesday 28th of February 2012 07:21:18 AM

Just back in time from FL to experience some cold weather. I was thinking about some issues regarding starting the engine after it has been sitting for the winter or couple of months. It seems that most of the fuel has evaporated from the carb, so it takes quite a cranks before it starts. Is this a pro...

Looks like I'll be dropping my tank to clean up the chassis and look for a build sheet. So... do you guys recommend replacing the fuel sending unit?

It's about $50, so seems like a reasonable thing to do. Throw it on the 'might as well' list? As far as I know, the current setup is working accurat...

If you are buffing a piece of chrome using a bench buffer with a seven inch diameter cloth pad turning at 3500 RPM and the chrome part gets snagged by the wheel.

It's a salvage car from Copart. Their fees are a bit nuts. With sales tax, transfer and plate fees added to their "buyer fee" and gate fee and internet bidding fee, I ended up paying another $1,000. I have both doors and the rear axle lined up and should get them on Wednesday. Big thanks to Bry...
