The very best is the original service manual which is printed by helms. They have the best detail and troubleshooting guides, but obviously are pricey. Worth the the money though for tough issues. You might be able to find the manuals as CDs or downloads cheaper. What are you looking for information...

Try to join a forum dedicated to your particular vehicle. You'll get tons of the most relevant advice, specific to your vehicle. If you're lucky, they will have links to download those expensive OEM service and parts manuals. I'm on a forum dedicated to each car I own and you won't get any better in...

Now that you mention it, I vaguely remember strapping a model rocket engine to an R/C in the '90s. I believe on of my friends did it too.

Bilstiens probably impressed me the most for ride quality and control.

Bilstiens probably impressed me the most for ride quality and control. This. I had Bilsteins on my last truck. When it comes time to replace the shocks on my current truck, that is likely what it'll be. For a little less money, I like KYB as well. Stay away from Rancho for a daily driver. They make...

I don't think you will go wrong with Bilsteins or Gabriels or Delco ones. Rock Auto lists like 900 shocks for that chassis but there are some ac Delco ones that are in the same price range as the Gabriel's, Bilsteins are always more expensive.

From experience on my vehicles, Bilstein will give you the better ride and quality without a doubt over KYB or Gabriel. The first time I used Bilstein shocks, I'd never spend another dollar on KYB or Gabriel ever again for my own vehicles. The cost is a little more, but they're well worth it. And I ...

You should be able to get those Monroe’s replaced under warranty If you want to give them another go. Monroe isn’t what they used be. I’ve seen them leak after 6 months. Definitely go for the Bilsteins.

And I don't mean KYB or Gabriel are complete crap, just Bilstein is that much better. I agree. I just mentioned KYB as a cheaper alternative. Before I switched to Strange adjustables, I had Gabriel rear shocks on my Mustang. They stood up to a lot of abuse. Just saying. But Bilstein would definitel...

I've actually been thinking about maybe looking around and seeing if they have a Neo matrix statue .stl file where he was dodging bullets. I think that would be a cool one to print & paint up. I'm a Next Gen fan of the Star Trek franchise. There's a Picard bust on Thingiverse that I tried printi...

How about this one then?

How many times can you be truly inspired? I mean, really inspired. But you can be truly irritated many times a day. Let's face it. The number of irritating morons out there greatly outnumber inspirational people. Then there is the problem that some people are inspired by the same people who irritate...

Well, I turned 44 last month. And while I'm not old yet, it's painfully obvious that I'm not young anymore. At work, one of the guys (5 or 6 years younger) was messing with some of us about getting old. I told him that I'd rather be old than be a Millennial. Then I told him that he'd be both in a fe...

Enjoy your 40's...cuz 50 is when that check engine light comes on!
