Re: led lights? bulb conversion?

Used the 1156 conversion bulbs when they first came out - wasn't happy with their brightness, or lack thereof. May try them again now that they seem to be a lot brighter.

Re: Wheel Spacers

Spacers are not the way to go to change bolt pattern. They push the wheels out too far to stay in the wheelwells and can fail by shearing off the original studs or the adaptors fail. Depending what pattern you are after, there are several posts on how to change the bolt pattern safely using 2wd toyo...

Re: lifts for mitsubishi mighty max

See sway a way post for torsion bars, use 2nd gen montero upper control arms for 2" more lift in front. flip axle to bottom of springs for 4" lift in rear - make sure you keep pinion angle as close to stock as possible.

Re: 87 ram 50 not starting

Put dry gas in tank - could have frozen fuel line with water in gas. Use Isopropyl drygas it mixes with gas and burns cleanly. Also check fuel filter for clogging.

Re: intake from a turbo starion

You'll need the wiring and a computer to use the FI unit. Not worth the trouble without the turbo - the injectors are a 2 stage setup for a turbo, and the programming to make it work will cost a small fortune to make it driveable. Most people go with a Megasquirt ecu with multiport injection; you co...

Stereo stiffening cap will do that and make the stereo hit hard. Grounding everything back to the battery is the best fix on any vehicle.

Re: broken cam bolt

Have you tried taking a chisel and try to spin it out? The bolt should come right out as the torque on the bolt is only like 10lbs or so. A bolt for a 2.6 cam is the same.

Re: Project Moded Max

Let me check them against a set of taillights to be sure they are good and I will get back to you. They are brand new, but I am not sure who made them offhand; some of the fillers won't fit.

Re: HID Conversion

Look for a 7x6 headlight kit with an H4 conversion setup. Depending on the depth of the headlights, you may have to alter the core support +/or the headlight buckets to get them to fit.

Re: 89 Ram 50 2.6 manual tranny ping

EGR is located on the intake below the carb - great source of carbon buildup to cause pinging. Also checkout the vacuum lines in the carb box on the fender - the lines can crack and cause the carb box to screw with the carb and cause running issues. Advance the timing to 10 BTDC; it seems strange, b...

Re: Truck is totalled

All you need is some rubbing compound and a buffer to get the paintoff :lol: Really glad you weren't hurt when he hit you. Definately try and find a similar truck to swap over as much as you can. The DUI driver should lose his license for 5 years; 1 year isn't good enough for boneheads like that.
