    Freshly rebuilt 350 not starting!

    With that much "bounce" in them....I'd be surprised if your valves open far enough if at all.

    Best Wiper Blades?

    I put these on 3 weeks ago and love em. Better than the ANCO and Rain-X I used to use.

    Heavy Duty Headlight Harness and 4 Hi

    That diode will not do it. That one limits you to 12v. The first time you start your truck it will blow it. Look for a diode in the 8-10 amp range and 50V or higher. I use T10A40L's. And remember current flows toward the stripe. And soldering them in is always better than any crimp connector.

    Bolt, nut storage

    Mason jars. Screw the lids to the bottom of the work bench or shelf and screw the jars into them. Easy to see what you've got.

    Mode Door

    I replaced both at the same time. Like I said if you pull the bottom cover off your air box....you'll have more room to work.

    I just pulled the floor vent and the bottom cover on the right so I could get to it.

    Mode Door

    Mode door. When you get it out I'll bet the rubber around the edge is gone. If it is gone it'll never stay in place.

    floor mats bunching up

    Velcro strips on the back of the mat. The hook side should stop it from sliding on the carpet. Something like a 3M MP3526/MP3527 gives you both sides that are adhesive backed.

    Suggestions for a good DVOM

    Just so you know...not all of Klein's meters are made in the US. They just introduced 2 models (MM5000and MM6000) that are...but the rest are made by UEI in China

    Suggestions for a good DVOM

    Can't beat a Fluke. My 23 has served me well over the years. If you don't wanna spend that kind of money...Klein has a decent line and just introduced 2 new ones Made in the USA. Ideal is made by UEI (not very durable) and Triplett hasn't been worth a damn since they sold out to Jewell Instr.
