    My "free" project.

    Hey all. Just posting about my free rig a friend gave me. A 99 Chevy Tracker 4WD. 5spd 1.6 with 5.125 gears. Had to put a battery in it and a push button for the starter. It sat for 2 years with a full tank of gas. Luckily these things will run on varnish. A 2" spacer lift and tires is pretty...

    Not really a build. But I do throw money at it.

    Thinking about dual color LED headlights.

    Has anyone tried, or is using two color LED's in place of the low beams? As opposed to mounting fog lights on their truck? My morning commute in the winter frequently has really bad visibility, and this seems like a decent mod if it works. Let me know if this is a crap idea. TIA

    Not really a build. But I do throw money at it.

    Picked up my dream bike this March. So far I have a bit more than 4200 miles on it. It's kind of a fun little commuter bike.

    Fuel pump seems fine, but.....

    I thought I needed to change my fuel pump, truck runs fine low to mid range. Sometimes, takes a few turns of the key to get it going, nothing major though. It's when I go to pass someone it kinda falls on it's face. It will do it, it just kinda takes awhile. And it surges while doing it. I put...

    So, I've got a noise

    I was actually wondering about the rear diff. The plug is pretty knackered, might take some work to get it out. But that's a good thought. Thanks

    So, I've got a noise

    Actually not sure if it was there or not. Couple of months ago, I was highway driving and there was a noticeable whine coming from underneath the truck. Got it home figured out the transfer case was really low on fluid. Added a couple of quarts dextron III, and everything works fine. Been...

    My 98 starts hard in the cold all of a sudden

    Thanks will try it this morning. Been kinda wondering if the fuel pump is getting weak. Every once in awhile when passing, it acts like its running out of gas.

    My 98 starts hard in the cold all of a sudden

    no check engine light, nothing. Happens in the morning as I'm headed to work. This morning it took 20 seconds plus to start it. It seems to take a little bit after work to start it, but nothing bad. Running around during the day it seems just fine. Just 1st thing in the morning. Seems to be...

    What kind of mileage do you get?

    I've still got a little over an 1/8 tank in my 98 SCLB 4x4. I'm showing 310 mi. on the trip meter with mixed driving. Pretty sure I have the 26 gallon tank. I'm really liking the 3.42's and the OD trans. 1750 rpms at 65 mph.:) Oh yeah, I don't have the 5.7 Vortec, mines a 5.0. Runs good, not the...

    Oooh air conditioning!

    Working power steering, AND overdrive! After driving a clapped out 75 GMC camper special with no power steering for years, the wife suggested I buy my newest addition. A 98 Silverado 4X4. She could use paint, wheels, tires and tunes, but overall I'm pretty happy with it. Actually, still kinda...
