And by all means add a stop to the clutch pedal, there is no sense in pushing on the pressure plate fingers any more than is necessary to let the disc slip. And to take it one step further for those who have super heavy clutches, it's never a good idea to keep the clutch pedal down while the...

Understood. It's just a preference, run what you like it makes no difference to me. FWIW my LS2 engine is N/A with a carbureted intake manifold, a Holley throttle body EFI and great big old school air cleaner, everyone said don't do it like that it'll never work right. In reality it works...

One of the guys we used to dune with has twins on a 406 in his Tatum, it ran good when all was good but there were more days when it wasn't right and it ruined more than one dune trip for the group. It was professionally built and tuned. Had the engine out with the heads off a few times, retuned...

I've been an auto mechanic for 37 years, was with GM most of that time. I've hated almost all 37 years of it, I've worked with some true motherfuckers over the years. We make just enough money to keep coming back. I didn't get into making a lot of money until just a few years ago. Now I'm old...

There's closures at Gordons?

You set up a pool in your camp too? That must be RRE.

We dune too hard to listen to music through the headsets. We rely on the car 2 car communications to keep everyone in the line and shiny side up. Besides that my spouse is the best navigator and always has her eyes on things I don't necessarily see when driving hard so shes on the mic...

So your loose front hubs caused the reluctor wheel to grind away at the sensors? I never would have mentioned checking front hubs, I would have assumed all of the obvious things were looked at first. Glad you found the problem.

I was a GM tech for 3 decades and have always owned GM cars and trucks, there was nothing else we ever even looked at. I worked on so many Duramaxes I just couldn't bring myself to own one too so I said fuck it I'm going to buy something out of my realm, I bought a new F-250 instead and I love...

^^^F-15 is super bitchin!

I could listen to that.

I am so glad we corrected the preload issue on the Tatum hubs I bought, they would have ground themselves to death in short order had we listened to Tatum and just "ran them until they loosen up". That is just a poor excuse from someone who just didn't care. Several years in now with the new...

Care to share what kind of feedback you got from this? I have an HV24 in my car but I must have missed this thread, I love the trans by the way.

This may have been addressed many times in the past but I'm old and I want to hear it again. Does it hurt anything in an HV24 to start the engine and run it for a while in nuetral if the car has been sitting unmoved, possibly for months at a time? The mainshaft is still spinning and I wonder if...

Sorry if this derails the thread , it was not my intention. Fwiw, I bought a set of brand new Tatum midboards a number of years back, right out of the box you could not rotate the hub there was so much preload. Once clamped in a big vice we had to use a 4' pry bar in the studs to rotate them...

You need to take that to Trump rallys.

Don’t get me started with the mufflers!! About 2000ish we used to get hassled by the boat cops for excessive noise. They would hang out by the cliff at the sand bar with their decibel meter and pass out citations, they were $170 for the first violation and went up from there. So we had to put...

Here you go it’s all I can come up with. This was after a rebuild. I never get tired of listening to a healthy BBC. Old school shit rocks!

'94 Tahiti 240 Warrior, it was a Hardin Marine built Tahiti. Dave Wood was the guy who built the hull. Ours is a very rare open bow, Paul Pfaff built our engine. It's outdated now but have no reason to get rid of it. We always wanted a big tunnel with twins but never pulled the trigger on one...

When you get to be a fifty something, 7 is the new 10. I try to keep all of my stuff in as perfect a condition as I'm capable of, the problem is time has its way with me and I run out of it routinely. Yesterday I washed and dried my 40' pusher, and that was it I was not going to do anymore. It...
