You should be able to find a decent replacement rear axle at a reputable salvage yard for less than $250. As far as replacing it that is not too difficult, four bolts on the pinion yoke(back of driveshaft), 4 bolts holding the leaf springs to the axle, 2 shock bolts. Transferring all the...

The Magnum name was used on the non-hemi performance engines that chrysler offered in the late 60's and early 70's. Magnum 440, magnum 383, etc... Apparently chrysler has now decided to use the magnum name on all of its performance engines including the hemi. Chrysler also used the name Super...

Maybe it was the DishHD feed or the settings on the sets(believe me they varied greatly from brand to brand) or something else but, I was not bowled over by it. It was a pretty picture but I did not get the "looking through a window" effect from any of them. I know they were at sears and that...

Home depot has a 4-pack of the small mini flourescent bulbs for something like 13.97. They seem to help with the electric bill. I put them throughout my house(wherever they would fit) and last month my electric usage was only 899 KWh, and that is with a monstrous electric water heater(soon to be...

Here all shows before 6:30pm are considered matinees at the local celebration cinema. Saw the 6:30 show, I consider that Saturday night.

Saw it Saturday night.Not having seen the tv show I didn't know what to expect. The trailers looked retarded. I'll have to say that some parts were hilarious, others "different" and finally some just revolting(snow cone, toy car). One thing came to mind, live action Beavis and Butthead. Wouldn't...

He used to do the quick rundown of a movie when he was on the radio. I forgot all about that, 2 machete's to the head, 3 severed arms, 5 nekkid breasts, etc...

Joe Bob kicked ass. I used to listen to a radio spot that he did call Joe Bob's drive in movie review. Rented a few movies from his recommendations and they were great. Loved him on TNT, what the hell was their problem anyway. They need him back, they kinda suck now.

I can't stand them, although I do enjoy auto racing(or any other motorized racing for that matter). I live near a college town(home of michigan state) and whenever there is a home game the entire area loses its mind. Traffic sucks within a 5 mile radius of the stadium. Doesn't matter, football...

I think here in michigan the state is aiding and abetting the stupid people. They are supposedly making it harder to get a driver's license here. The license is given in stages, the first year being probationary. My ex G/F's daughter had TWO at fault accidents and one turn on no left turn ticket...

I found 2 benefits of removing grills. 1. I like the sound better. 2. My cats can't destroy them.

I don't mind making some phone calls to check on things but if there is a problem that could cause the deal to fall through the lender should alert the customer(I am still a customer, right?) as soon as possible. Not when I call 3 days later to check on things and find out incidentally. I still...

I'd like to know how to stay away from them. There are so damn many of them, we're outnumbered.

I don't have a place for service info but I would recommend that you do look into it. My mortgage provider has been less than helpful. Several times there have been potential snags in the process and they did not even call me to tell me. I only found out about the problems because I called to...

If chris doesn't want it I do.

Thats funny. Makes me think of one of the IS techs where I work. Major computer geek(self described that way). He gutted a toaster and put a computer in it. He also has a cardboard box full of loose components wired together that works.

I just got my copy this week. Haven't had a chance to watch it yet. I love this movie, actually all cheesy B/W sci fi/horror movies. This one actually holds up pretty well. I like this one better than Tim Burtons version.

I find it irritating that no two companies can put the audio choices(mono/2.0/5.1 etc...) in the same part of the menu and I sometimes have to hunt for it. Some put it under the setup header, some put it under languages, still others put it under the audio header(where it belongs). I also hate...

I'll also agree that 637hp/702ftlbs is alot. You sure that is only a 350 and not a 406 or maybe even a world products motown block? Torque is usually a function of displacement, and there are plenty of 800+ hp BIG blocks that don't make that kind of torque. I'm not calling anyone a liar, it's...

What Joe said! p.s. I have a muscle car that I just spent about $8000 on building a new engine and transmission for. I will tell you from experience that horsepower does not come cheap, especially if you expect ANY kind of durability. A factory stock 4 or 6 cylinder car might be kind of quick...

Yeah, it is tough to watch them not feeling well and not know what to do for them. I felt really bad when he didn't want the tuna. Usually if I even move the can opener he thinks tuna is involved. He doesn't travel well either, hates riding in the car. I got lucky that he didn't urinate all over...

I don't believe there are alot of performance upgades for the GM 3.1 V6 around. It is a 60 degree V-6 and is second cousin to the old 2.8 V-6. That engine was never designed with performance in mind and I don't think that anything other than chips and maybe nitrous would be available. I also...

Max, my cat is fine. I'm quite relieved. I took him to the vet and it is an upper respiratory infection, basically a cold. They gave him a shot of fluids and B vitamins and sent me home with some anti-biotics so he won't get worse until he can get over it. I feel much better now. Thanks for all...

There was a series on the history channel recently about true mob stories that were made into films. They discussed both Casino and Goodfellas. They interviewed both Henry Hill from Goodfellas and the guy that Deniro played in Casino(can't remember his real name). Apparently aside from the usual...

If you install an exhaust header, DO NOT wrap the header with the heat resistant wrap. Keeping that much heat in the header will bake the carbon out of the mild steel tubing. After a while the metal will become brittle and self-destruct. This has happened to me personally. Ceramic coating of the...

One of my cats started sneezing last night, didn't think anything of it at the time. He usually sneezes once or twice a day, no biggie. But it was different last night. His breathing is labored and sounds congested. He is lethargic and doesn't want to eat(even offered him tuna-big treat). He...

Take your car to a frame/alignment only shop for quality alignments. This is not something I would trust to the do everything/but specialize in nothing type shops. Not only will a bad alignment eat up a $400+ set of tires in short order it can also be dangerous. An alignment should be done every...

I have always driven RWD cars in and have never had a problem. I have only owned 1 FWD car in my life and it did okay in the snow but I prefer driving RWD vehicles. They definitely require a different driving style but I wouldn't say one is inherently better than the other. My last few vehicles...
