They're on a shelf in the garage. I've got some high zoot wires that allow me to just drop them wherever without fear of inductive coupling.

 

I just use 8.5MM Racing quality spark plug wires with the super RFI shielding insulation, haven't had any problems yet, just a much stronger spark!

 

Heater core. Again.... This time while the dash was apart I replaced some of the foam weather stripping on the ducts and HVAC box. System blows noticeably stronger now. Dash was un-cracked till I was putting things together and put 2 hair line cracks on the passenger side.

I went with a new core this time. The 1st junk yard had a leak before it went in, 2nd seemed fine but now 2-3 months later it started leaking. I'm sick of taking apart the dash in these trucks, and the only junk yards are about 15-20 miles away. I had tried to re solder the original and junk yard core but one appears to be cracked in the core and the other wouldn't seal. I suck at with plumping though so its probably still fixable. This new one was $70! Its aluminum. Not as thick, and has its hard lines crimped on. It doesn't leak, but I was not happy with the quality for the price. Only one parts store had one in stock, so I had to go with it because I need the truck back on the road.

I wonder if it would have been cheaper to buy an OEM one from a dealer.

 

I would never buy something like a heater core used...

 

i boosted my mom's friend's 2nd gen 3500 with a Cummins today. my mom was going to try using her car and my booster pack to boost it but i pulled into the driveway just in time. i don't even know if the honda or hyundai would even be up to the job of boosting a diesel. my ramcharger didn't hesitate at all.

 

I tried boosting my old v6 dak with a 93 honda civic, it would not have it lol. Then again I had a huge battry in the thing, bigger then the one in my buds 04 gmc half ton

 

If I had endless pockets I never would get anything used...

 

But thats like installing a used water pump...

 

Oh I see...

 

well i figure a car might act like a battery charger and get the job done eventually but there would be more stress putt on those small car engines. i know my v8 with 90 amp alternator should get the job done quick with no complaints plus my ramcharger was already warm since i just finish doing some running around.
