    Propane Power

    I have no current intentions of doing this but I watched this video this a.m. and was wondering if anyone here had converted something over to propane, like an old car or truck. I'm guessing there are kits out, but I've never really looked or even thought about it until this video. I've...

    Help Me figure Out My Transmission Issues, Ram 1500

    The truck is a 2005 Ram 1500 5.7 AWD I'm hoping someone here will be able to help me troubleshoot my problem. I was driving home and everything was fine. I turned onto my road, got on it, then out of nowhere while still in the throttle, a pop/jolt and I lost all gears forward and reverse. She...

    Fuel Storage (Gas) Suggestions/Experience

    I'm tired of doing the 5 gal can shuffle so I'm looking into to storing some fuel, non-ethenol pump gas to be specific. I have a supply/choice of 55 gal drums available to me (metal that shipped ink or plastic that shipped an industrial solvent). I expect 55 gal to supply me for 3-4 months at...

    Project Farm: Car Battery Test

    I saw this yesterday and thought I'd post it here. Personally I've always had good results from Autozone batteries, with all lasting 7 years or more. I thought it was interesting that Wal Mart batteries are made by the same company but deliver a little more power. I wonder if they last as long.

    Hydraulic Cylinder Rebuild

    My tractor has two leaky cylinders that I've pulled off to have rebuilt this coming week, but at local shop rates of $80/hr and expect 2hr per cylinder + parts (I was told ball park $750 by my kubota dealer), I'm wondering if this is something I can pick up the parts for and do myself. So do...

    105mm Vs Land Rover

    I get a kick out of this destructive non sense and I figured some of you will too. M60 tank and a recoil-less rifle hit a Land Rover.

    Would you ride in Ken Blocks 65 Mustang?

    Thought I'd link this if anybody likes the Gymkhana videos. This is Ken Blocks latest Gymkhana video with his mildly modified 65 Mustang, the "Hoonicorn", version 2.0 going up hill. I think this version makes 1400 hp to all 4 wheels chugging methanol. I'd love to take a ride in it, but only on...

    Wood workers, demolition experts?; I want to put a high explosives box in my Chrysler

    Guys, I have had an old wooden "high explosives" box hanging out in my garage for the last 15 years and I got the idea to repair it now so that I can use it to carry/contain supplies for traveling (a quart of oil, trans fluid, paper towels, etc.). My problem is that the bottom has rotted out...

    Anyone had a 3rd gen truck fuel leak?

    Well I'm getting ready for a vacation coming up in a few weeks and out of nowhere my truck starts pouring fuel from somewhere around the pump assembly. It's not an instant pour. No spray as soon as the key cycles or anything. The truck needs to run/drive for a little while to pool fuel around...

    Forgotten, Abandoned, Back Yard Hoards, and Project Purgatory Cars

    My job has me on the road a lot burning up country roads and city streets alike, and I'm sure there are a few others here doing similar. Recently I started snapping pictures of cars in some state of "rest" that catch my eye, so I though I would create a place to post what I see, and see what...

    Sears to Sell off Craftsman Brand

    I was reading on another forum yesterday about Sears potentially selling off major brand names like Kenmore and Craftsman. That thread had more details about other companies placing bids until the end of the month when Sears was slated to make a decision to sell or not sell the Craftsman name...

    Shop Lights

    The time has come where my 8ft, 2 bulb T12 lights are crapping out on me, only 3 of the 7 work reliably. To fix the existing fixtures would cost ~$65 per fixture; replace with new 8ft T12 fixtures ~$75 each (and the T12 bulb is suppose to be getting phased out) - so those options are out. This...
