Synthetic oil in an older engine?
There appear 2 enterpretations evident in this "discussion" in its youth. What actually constitutes an "older" engine. The question is: Is it either higher mileage, newer vehicle or a 64 rollscnardly? As I read these posts confusion reigns thru people trying to have an opinion on every...- Auberon

So I got my new Tail Light Guards
Hey trucks the same colour as mine and I have the guards too and yep they look good. I found it gave me a reference point for reversing in really tight places-you can see in those great side mirrors. You just get to know exactly how long she is. What I can't believe is I got mine cheaper in...- Auberon

HID headlight kit install
I'm not going to say don't do it...I freely admit to having no knowledge of the legalities regarding vehicular lighting matters in the USA. If it is indeed illegal, then there is no point in pursuing any argument on this matter. The legality of this is a very valid stand-point. I do like my...- Auberon

Tire Rotation Patterns/ Guide
Hey autoboy454, can you explain why, please. The front to back etc on same side that is. Otherwise it is just because and that doesn't quite get there. So technically, you aren't evening out wear, you are simply tyre swapping Yes? Few directional tyres? really? on real 4wds? I must say I...- Auberon

What's a good automatic tire deflator?
Maybe have a look at the ARB unit. It deflates quickly and is a gauge too. That's my preferred one. Cheers Auberon- Auberon

First time lower ball joint removal
Might help One technique that hasn't been mentioned here to help ease stubborn fittings out is whilst it is under tensile load from the puller, use gentle encouraging TAPS around the preimeter of the lower control arm(LCA) WITH a dolly/drift/podger (trying to cover all the names) of a softer...- Auberon

Torquing Misnomers
Apologies for typos it's 0538 presently: Budke - oh how true! Belvedere - spot on. I like article 1. The 2nd article is a tad loose only because it makes a valiant effort (sorry to old Mopar drivers) at describing a very specific subject and tries to make some sense in simple speak of the...- Auberon

Torquing Misnomers
Which comes first Boiler, You seem to agree with my point that torque is the same. That is my main point. An engine is designed to produce torque until it becomes linear (so Sir Isaac could play a part) when the tyre begins to be turned by the torque after its resisting MOMENT OF INERTIA...- Auberon

First time lower ball joint removal
Different strokes for different folks 1 Your approach was sound and you've done what we all should keep doing - learn by your experience.....GOODONYA! 2 There are some versions (like by Snap-On Tools) like the one you hired (similar to a G-clamp) but you can holdem in a vice and push apart...- Auberon

Torquing Misnomers
Forgive me please but I can't NOT comment: To start this please remember: ".......Love that torque" I have been reading the tyre threads quite intently and still wonder where the "power" goes. The term power appears frequently herein as a misnomer. The engineering/physics of this is NOT...- Auberon

Top-plate material discussion
Tonys suggestion of steel seems most appropriate, if you have a lathe with a faceplate, not much of a job really. I do hope you don't mond the following comments: Polymers: There are some really whiz-bang bearing polymers out there that are strong in tension, torsion and have a tremendous...- Auberon

Stuck in 4 part time
Selectors Your truck has to come out of part time! Might I suggest on a loose surface if you can, but anywhere will do: for a short distance load and unload your drivetrain by "blipping" the throttle. That is accelerate for a bit relatively hard then fully back off. A couple of times...- Auberon

Oil change!
Duty cycle It is simply that oils are better suited to the duty cycle that is asked of them and bio-chemistry is better understood. I agree with Tony's comments. Our great little VM motors and Jeeps belong to a rapidly evolving application of precision to production that most can't...- Auberon

Oil suitability I make no apologies for this. It comes down to a simple matter: the molecular structure; SIZE of the oil molecules (with their inherent abilities to withstand shear forces imparted by high compression high performance engines) and the tolerances used in their manufacture...- Auberon
