Used Engine Question
I blew my engine back in February. My truck is a 2003 with the 5.7 hemi. I found a Hemi out of a 2006 with 60,000 miles at a local salvage yard, they were asking $2300. After a few days of back and forth I got the engine for $1800. I was pretty happy with that. I installed it myself. If I had...- cwakefld

Chrome clad wheels...Paint???/
My flower petals have been plasti-dipped for about 4 or 5 months now. Have not had any peeling at all, and I wash them just like it did before I dipped them. I will try to get a picture, but they are filthy right now. It hasn't rained here for months and it seems wrong at this point to use the... -
Favorite tool brand
It really depends on what you using it for. If you make you living with hand tools you need: Snap-on, Mac, Matco. If they are just for personal use Craftsman is fine. I actually use a lot of Harbor Freight tools. They are cheap, and honestly, you can replace them 5 or 6 times (probably more) for... -
weird rubbing sound
I replaced a hub assembly about a month ago. Get lots of PB Blaster. And I would soak the crap out of it all night. I had to beat the hell out of the old hub with a small sledge hammer to get the damn thing out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk- cwakefld

Homemade CAI. Post up your pics.
I have a bunch of tubing and elbows to make my CAI. I know several folks on here have done the same on their 3rd gen Hemi. So, post the pics up! I want to see how different folks did it in different ways. Thanks to all. I'm just want to see the different variations before I start working on...- cwakefld

1/8 mile times ?
Wow! I have 20's on my quad cab and 3.92's, and you were almost a full second faster. Does superchips make that much difference or am I having a problem I should look into? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk- cwakefld

1/8 mile times ?
I am curious. What is your speed at 9.6? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk- cwakefld

9.6 is a great time. I have an 03 QCSB with a stock 5.7 and I run high 10.3's, low 10.4's with a best of 10.34. I think 9.6 is pretty damn good without digging into the engine!- cwakefld

392 stroker 0-60 time
Ah well that changes things. It does make the numbers come out about right. However, I would think that the 392 stroker should be faster than my truck.- cwakefld

392 stroker 0-60 time
Dynolicious is a fun app, but I have never thought it to be very accurate. The 1/8 mile time compared to speed seems impossible. My truck, an 03 quadcab with a bone stock 5.7 Hemi, runs a 10.34 second 1/8 mile at 68.8. So running a 10.41 at 110 does not seem plausible. I would imagine the rest...- cwakefld

Front tow hooks
They are handy to have. I've used mine more than I ever expected. Hell, I used them to pull the truck around when the fuel pump went out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
Front tow hooks
I would call a used parts dealer or look in a you pick yard. I wouldn't think they would be too hard to find, and used ones wouldn't hurt anything at all. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
limited slip?
I don't know where to find one. Mine came with limited slip and 3.92 gears. I love them. Launches hard. On a well prepped track, no wheel spin at all. Just hooks and goes. If you you get it done, you will love it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk- cwakefld
