    1983 GL, project: Cheap Thrills

    Today is pretty much gone and not a thing done to the car. but wasn't a wasted day. the garage was such a mess I couldn't hardly move anymore, so the day was spent getting my "sanity space" back! Sometimes, you have to stop to move forward. :)

    1983 GL, project: Cheap Thrills

    Did my final checked an sure enough, the backlash was just a bit too tight. Had reduced to about .006 spec is .008-.012 :mad: a bit bit of work and a quick shim swap side to side, four ring gear measurements later: 0.0095, 0.0102, 0.0106 and a 0.0102 good to go! this thing sure is being...

    I couldn't stand leaving the preload at 30 in/lbs. so this morning I did what you're always told never to do: I backed off the pinion nut. the preload eased to 25 in/lbs, the nut torque is still up over 200 ft/lbs and the bearing rolls much nicer. No play in the pinion bearings, everything is...

    Damned solid spacer! After chasing it for two days (and cutting new ones on the lathe) I just could not get the pinion bearings preload to come within spec. So I went to the crush collar. It was as much of a treat as I remember it. 1/2 breaker bar, a bar bolted to the flange, and two 3 foot...

    2015+ F-150 free "reprogramming" offer

    So been doing a little playing around with forscan. Today I added the heated steering wheel icon and the heated/ cooled seats icon to the home screen. Then I threw the digital readouts for engine coolant and transmission temp over the plain bar gauges. The piece de resistance was this weekend...

    2015+ F-150 free "reprogramming" offer

    FORScan stuff is easy so it's no big. Right now I'm working on adding lane keeping assist, adaptive cruise control and active parking assist. They're the only options my lariat didn't come with OEM. Lotsa hardware, lotsa changes and I even had to go so far as to buy IDS/VCM II. Adaptive cruise...

    2015+ F-150 free "reprogramming" offer

    So, as some already know, I have a 2016 F-150. It had a few things it did as delivered that I didn't like, so I changed/disabled/enabled some options. Things like the "double honk" when you get out of the vehicle when it's running I turned off, things like "secure idle" I turned on. I've had...

    Forscan is actually free. You can download it from thier site. But you need a Bluetooth obdII adapter that can access hS and MS ford can networks. It also has to be rock solid stable as you are programming through it and the last thing you want is a glitch while doing that. Min cost about 120...

    Enough of this bloody truck!

    Couldn't be happier with it. Right now I'm working g on adding parts of the tech package, which is the only option it doesn't have. Adding lane keeping assist, adaptive cruise and park assist. Adding park assist mainly because I have to install a new console harness for lane keeping and park...

    Enough of this bloody truck!

    Well the GMC is gone. Listed it on Kijiji for 4 grand. Didn't last 20 mins and got my full asking price. Got 16 inquiries in those 20 mins. It was like a feeding frenzy! Some were the usual "wanna trade" responses. Silly stuff like quads, a 2007 Altima, etc... Umm, I would have said "trade s"...
