    Replacement Radio Dilemia

    I have been replacing Chrysler radios for years (low bid for vendors means you get what you pay for) but my issue has always been the aftermarket tuners are never as good as the OEM units. The other features may be OK but, I like to listen to the radio. Mike

    Sticky steering wheel cover?

    The air bag cover on the steering wheel of my 94 truck has become sticky to the touch. I think the plastic is degrading. Anyone else have this condition? Were you able to correct/solve/restore the cover? Thanks! Mike

    I am concerned with all these displays in that they promote distracted driving. It's like having a really big cell phone to watch while moving down the road. In my older vehicles I know without looking where the controls are, these worry me. Mike

    best accessory for flatbed to keep gas cans in place?

    I would (as I have in the past) Build a 2X4 frame (stand boards on edge) that will "capture" your gas cans and incorporate a front wheel slot for the bike. The cans can be restrained with bungee cords (screw eyes in 2X4s). Build the bike tire slot up to support as much of the tire/wheel as...

    Rust...

    The USA put a man on the moon-how many years ago? And no one can design a fender joint that won't rust? Ha ha! I would certainly pay a lot extra for a SS body, but I'm not going to hold my breath while waiting. Mike

    V-10 out stroked 440 in.

    Hi fellas, Has anyone here swapped in a 440 based engine in their 2nd gen truck? I'm considering the move to gain power and torque. The V-10 runs great but has very little guts. I bought my 94 new, freshened the engine at 95,000, added headers and 1.6:1 rocker arms. 2 1/2" duals with...
