Hello folks. Hope your having a great day.. I'm changing out the coolant on a 85 and I have three cylinder side covers off but the last, as usual, wont come off. I don't think they've ever been off. I'll keep the screw wet with PB blaster and keep working it, but can someone tell me if...

Morning folks.. I've decided to put my two 85 vmax's up for sale.. One I bought brand new in 86 and it's pretty much stock and runs well. The other one was built by Jon Cornell rip and I installed Rick Bachmann millennium true ram air scoops on it which are no longer available. Both could use...

I pulled a few threads from my bell housing the other day installing a cummins into a NV4500 in my E350 fummins. I can (should have) replace the bolt with a longer one and use the 1/2" of remaining good threads which were tested to 30' lbs. But Id like to insure I wont have a problem again...

Hey guys..:eusa_dance: One of my Vmax's front brakes wont brake hard.. It worked just fine last season considering stock Vmax front brakes suck anyway.. But now its super mushy and barely brakes as the lever bottoms out. The reservoir is full. I went through this with a clutch master I...

I'm refrigerant certified, but I dont have the adapters to add R134A to my cars. Iv got the old school refrigerant gauges with 1/4 flair fittings, but it looks like neither the car, nor the small R134A tanks have that fitting. Im guessing the larger 30 lb tanks do, but I wont be buying one of...

Iv got a E350 with cummins turbo and manual nv4500 and want to install a limited slip or locker in the D60 full floater to get me through Iowa winters, and a bit of hill climbing in Colorado. Iv asked this question else where with no replies.. But what I'm wondering is " what are the...

I want to buy a Van in florida. Iv already sent $500 cashiers check and seller removed the craigslist ad. Now I have to travel to drive the Van back home, but when I called my counties treasurer, they recommended I get the title and get plates here in Iowa Before I go. County told me I cant...

I bought a van out of state and even though the owner has agreed he would store the van for a month so I can get a cheaper plane ticket.. I'm still wondering if a Vehicle Shipping and transport company would be a better choice as I don't need to see the vehicle. Its paid and mine. I know its...

While preparing my truck to pull my toyhauler to Colorado and back this summer. I found solder bloom inside my radiator. My buddy urged me to buy a new radiator but I decided to flush it well and run 70% water and 30% antifreeze since I had read a heavier water concentration would provide the...

I'm having a hell of a time finding the 4x4 van I need. It needs to replace my gmc 6.2 with more towing power. So I might need to compromise and find one or the other and then install whats missing.. So what would you do? Pay big bucks and travel for exactly what you want? In my case, a 7.3...

This lathe at work is giving me problems. I'm sure it works well but I have no idea how to run the controls. I have a small lathe at home, but its not big enough for my project. I can get the motor to run, but cant get it to turn material. Id ask the owner, but I don't think he would want...

I'm just about to give up and say my first Colorado RV trip just wasn't meant to be.. 1991 ck2500 Chevy 4x4. No trailer fuses to worry about. All fuses (one set) are in the dash very far low left and have been checked. When the truck's lights work.. There is power at the 6 pin plug...

I just had a buddy change out my water pump/hoses on my 6.2 diesel and he called me while doing it and said my radiator has mineral deposits. He went on to say he would buy a new radiator if the truck were his.. My 85 Vmax runs hot and I'm guessing that's also due to deposits even though I did...

I guess the only one around here who knows me somewhat is hubeerjw., And maybe cop runner.. But regardless.. I'm not to much of a freak of nature.. Pretty mild mannered if you respect my boundaries.. But my neighbor has crossed those. First.. I'm building a 8x12 shed to store my lawn...

Buddy of mine stripped the left hand threads on the right mirror. I think he said 10mm. I see helicoil makes LH kits, but they are expensive.. Any suggestions on a fix?

Pitbull strapless restraint.. Any structural engineers in here? I have a 4" x 2" x 1/8" aluminum I beam I need to mount 4 supports from.. The I beam is 8' 6" long and I'm considering drilling eight 3/8" holes in the center of the middle web, not the outside flange. Two holes 4" apart, every...

I just received my strapless trailer restraint system and it fits both my bikes nicely. Super sturdy and great design when bolted to the trailer frame. Only problem I'm seeing is how close it's to my exhaust..:damn angry: If I remove the black T handle, its still about 1" away How much will...

I'm buying a pitbull restraint system and pitbull want's me to send my rear axle to them to custom make the pins needed to hold the bike axle. They want me to thread the nut on where it normally sits.. No problem. My problem is I have two Vmax's and I would like both bikes to fit the same...

Due to circumstances beyond my control, I might have to leave my Vmax outside when I'm up in Minnesota. Neither of them have seen much. Been at least 2 years for the custom and over 20 for my stock. Can anyone recommend a brand or style of cover they have had good luck with? The bike wont be...

I dont have a tig welder and not sure if I have the skill to fill the hole without the metal sticking out then needing grinding. Would a dab of JB weld be enough to seal off the air hole? Thanks
