    CHI2K6 ***updated 8/3/06***

    Well Jon, you had me pretty talked into it. I was going to find a way to be in Chicago one way or another, but when I looked up the dates I found out have a serious problem: I leave for Orlando on the 9th with the family. One day early - damn! I was hoping it would've been a couple of weeks...

    couple possible bad things i did???

    I'm pretty sure I didn't take my head bolts off in order either, and after 4K miles, no problem at all. One thing I did do absolutely wrong was removing the cam journals out of order. The valve springs pushed the rear of the cam up at a cockeyed angle in the first couple of journals and I was...

    Driveshaft removal

    I just finished mine up myself. I didn't get started until almost 11, and then wasted 1/2 an hour to go buy a socket I found out I already had. I used the same setup for replacing the bearing in the housing, and like you the test drive was smooooooth! I'll give it a good 190 mile test in...

    Driveshaft removal

    So my Autozone cheapie isn't the only one with A LOT of play in it. I couldn't believe how easy it is move without any load on it, and thought it must be defective. Sounds like this has been done by quite a few people one time or another. Mine will be in later tonight and we will see how it...

    +1 rep for your help. Thanks. How can Autozone differ by 150% in pricing??!! Sounds like I got a deal.

    Autozone Carrier Bearing - $39.99 OEM Carrier Bearing (Toyota of Louisville) - $314 Steel 1 piece DS - $295 Time for me to do something else about it - 0 For the $, I think a new 1 piece is the way to go. That way there are no worries about aging U joints, either.

    Could a Powered Intercooler Work? In theory at least?

    Ice/Dry Ice - Nothing like the K.I.S.S. priniciple, eh?

    Driveshaft removal

    Crap. I'm planning on a 180 mile round trip tomorrow, and I'm really worried about the vibration. I guess I'll print out that link and see what happens tonight, because I can't even get a real bearing here in time to get it done. Just so I know what I'm getting into, how long did you spend...

    Driveshaft removal

    I've got the same situation, and I've been deciding what to do about it. Here's a link on how to handle the difference in the housing design, but I've been a little slow to tackle it so far. http://www.supramania.com/forums/showpost.php?p=120950&postcount=8 Does this seem like something...

    Could a Powered Intercooler Work? In theory at least?

    I got wondering if something like it has ever been tried, or would even work... Would it be possible to gain any meaningful horsepower by using your car's A/C system as part of an active intercooler system, instead of the familiar IC's that cool through passive airflow at ambient...

    Did you evolve?

    Hold on a minute. For the record, I'm quite sure it's the Episcopal Church that have the gay bishop not the Catholic Church.

    Made a big decision

    Good move! The ONLY way to make it though school and get anything out of it is when you do it for yourself. It's just too much to take on if you're doing it for somebody else, and most people do it for their parents up to a point. Case in point: 2nd year of college when I was there only for...

    Steve Urkel commits suicide?

    :word8kn: Key words are "good laugh". Family Matters = :greddy: Shows like Family Matters, The Nanny, and Full House are nothing more than Barney for an older audience. Nothing but annoying crap that's supposed to be funny. Futurama, Family Guy, South Park, Office and Earl...

    Official **Pirates of the Carribean 2 ** Thread

    I just got back from the 9:30 show, and I'll second your rating Disced. First Pirates left me with permagrin, and even though I liked this one it was nowhere near as good as the first.

    Now I can see SM everywhere!

    I've got one too, but a slightly older model - whatever they were offering a few months ago. Best thing to come along in a seriously long time. I've never been able to log on to SM on it, but viewing's not a problem. Now my wife on the other hand? She's tired of seeing me on it between the...

    After dinner porcelain throan sitting

    What are the farggin odds? Just finished off a bowl of chili and a Big Boy, walked in the door, and I'm clenchin' like hell to read through the threads as fast as I can before I go drop the kids off at the pool. So yeah, it happens to me once in a while. I quit a long time ago, but dipping...

    Rear Wheels Don't Need To Be Balanced - Oh Really?

    He never had much of anything - said the 17" tires came and went pretty fast. He was funny though. He asked me if I thought the airlines were involved in a scam with the chemical industry and disposing of hazardous materials in jet fuel, which is what causes contrails. LMAO! I'll keep him in...
