If the engine is silent then the solenoid is doing it's job.
Could just be sending unit calibration.

A glimpse of things to come.
I just finished rebuilding this engine. I'll give you a hint, it's kind of a theme car.




To be continued...

These will sell like hotcakes!!!

Here's the full article on Jalopnik.

Well the Caddy is on hold for now waiting for customer approval. In the meantime, here's one that I worked on last year.

Unfortunately rural living does have its drawbacks. I used to live in a place that took four hours to get to the nearest airport.

Here’s something for owners of late 14 - early 15 trucks to be aware of.

One cylinder head removed, lifters deemed to be "ok", however a borescope exam found damage to the cam (second lobe up from rear most lobe) which required removal of the other cylinder head. My suspicion is a collapsed MDS lifter which never recovered from eco mode and tore things up. I'm being tak...

So one of my service writers used to work at a classic car shop and after they went out of business a lot of his old customers followed him to his new gig. Thats why I have such an inordinately high number of these vehicles that I work on. Plus I guess they figure the oldest guy in the shop should k...

Just finished this one today. It's a 1963 Corvette Sting Ray split window with a 327 and a two speed Power Glide transmission. The story I got was that it had been a show car at one time, which was evident from all the parts that had been chromed, but after being stored in a garage for the last 38 y...

A 2011 in Taos, NM. This one may go cheap due to the holes in the body, unless you got creative with stickers, emblems, massive fender flares or a wrap to cover them up. It looks like one of DamageWagon's siblings. 81QSCI18189018.jpg Or there's this 2012 in Coeur D Alene, ID. that appears to be int...

Finishing up a valve job on this beast. Made it breathe fire before I left work tonight. It's not a 426 Hemi, but it's close (I think that came a year or two later). Dodge has a long history of performance minded production vehicles. 1963 Dodge Polara 500 - 1.jpg 1963 Dodge Polara 500 - 2.jpg 1963 D...

I'm curious... what kind of storage tubs have you found to fit under your platform?
Also, it's hard to tell in your slideshow pictures but it doesn't look like there's a support leg under the forward cross board, does it flex much or is it secured somehow that I can't see in the picture?

Saw these jackets on Ebay. Unfortunately it says they're made in Thailand. It looks like they copied as many emblems as they could and slapped them all on one jacket. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Dodge-Ram-2500-Power-Wagon-Jacket/163032163627?hash=item25f579652b:g:tLQAAOSwc2FaFpjB s-l500.jpg https://www...

Nice!

I think back then it was called the Wench Mob.

:nopics: So I'll add a couple for the readers enjoyment. I did this one 6 months ago. IMG_1147.JPG IMG_1149.JPG IMG_1148.JPG Unfortunately your sorrows will not end until someone does a thorough inspection of every component of the valve train. I suspect a valve job and possibly rocker arms may be r...

I decided to join the old emblem team since they don't make a grumper for the 3rd gen. :lol: Here I am testing the emblem on Cleghorn. I think it helps the articulation. :wink: Had you put your tow mirrors in the erect position I believe you would have gained another 100 or so articulation points. ...

I have used the tailgate for the camp stove/toaster & microwave. Camping with no electricity & the microwave dings, that usually gets some people's attention, then they start asking questions & I tell them I have 2 batteries & a 2000/4000w inverter set up & a 270 amp alt. Also use a 2 piece toaster...

I did see the Hot Doggers & Muffpots as I was looking around. Nothin like a hot meal out in the snow.

Another 2010 in Eldorado Hills, CA.
Lower miles than the last one, but it has a dimpled tailgate, tweaked front bumper and a missing console/seat, just to name a few obvious things.

PDavey, after a year and a half of use, can you provide any feedback about performance improvements, fuel economy/consumption after doing your camshaft? Was is worth it? Would you do it again?

Ok guys, enough of the connector pin-out pictures, this is the best diagram I can come up with. Hopefully it will help you figure out what you want to know about the locker system. Sorry that it's two separate images, just print them out and tape them together if you need to get the big picture. Pin...

BLM Rig, do you know if G/H are a common ground, or a floating ground that's only grounded when C/D are hot? If G/H are common and always grounded, one should be able to tap only into C/D right by the smart bar and save a lot of wiring. Would diodes be necessary to keep from back feeding +12V into ...
