Best Penetrating Oil Reviews

Anyone who has ever strained their shoulder or scraped their knuckles trying to loosen a stuck bolt knows the value of penetrating oil. In fact, you've probably heard the joke about every shop needing at least one roll of duct tape, and one can of a famous, sprayable lubricant. Penetrating oils can be used to loosen and separate some of the most tightly stuck objects. In fact, nothing works better.

UUC Short Shifters

What’s wrong with the stock shifter in a BMW? Nothing, really, but don’t tell my wife that. She’d be even more perturbed that I swapped the perfectly adequate stock shifter in our 525i not once, but twice in the past year.

Best Heads for a Chevy 350

There are many variations, but again the choice here will also affect the performance of your engine. The most common are the smog heads, from around 1971 on up. There are good ones and there are bad ones, some are just better choices than others. Just one note before you start, some of you may think that 305 heads and 350 heads will swap over. Yes, they will bolt on, BUT, the combustion chamber size is significantly different.

The Dana 60 Front Axle

May be the most coveted piece of off-road hardware in the industry. It earned its reputation because of its strength, the number of aftermarket parts available for it, and the fact that it has remained relatively unchanged over the last 30 years. Of course, even the mighty Dana 60 can benefit from an update every few decades so in 2004 Ford and Dana released the new Dana Super 60 for use in F-450 and F-550 Super Duty trucks.

How To Remove Wheel Locks

Whether you have bone stock or flamboyant aftermarket wheels on your car, there's a good chance you have wheel locks. Most new car dealers install wheel locks on every new vehicle they sell, partly out of necessity and importance, and partly for a small bump in price. Along with those wheel locks comes a key to remove them but just one. You don't get a spare and you'll never order a replacement in time for when you really need it.

Why does the 2021 Ford F-150 Raptor not have independent rear suspension?

The new generation of the charged Ford F-150 Raptor pickup has the same rear suspension design as its predecessor. The decision will allow the truck to cope better off-road, Ford said.

Field Test: The M Mobility System

Those of you enjoying your M Roadsters and E39 M5s may have to explain to sensible folks why your expensive BMW doesn’t even have a spare tire.

Do it yourself information page

First be sure that there is no deposits behind the throttle plates and in the IAC air bypass passage ways. This deposit or coking is a mixture of soot and oil that is part of the combustion process. In older engines, a significant amount is oil. If this deposit is enough, it will effectively choke off the air flow to the IAC, causing hesitation and stalling. The best way to clean this is to remove the throttle body from the intake, and using a can of brake cleaner, rags and cotton swabs.

Track Rod Ends

1 Not always noticeable, a split track rod end gaiter will spill its lubricant grease, wear the joint, and make the steering feel loose and sloppy.

- Radio Install Adapting from Pre-88 to 89-Up -
