Yeah, mine doesn't whine, the whole truck groans. That's the only way I can describe it. Steering is extra-stiff, the engine is loud. lol
Old Dodge hates it.
Kinda funny tho, but the 76 behaves better than my 98.

The 76 sorta needs a new rad....it's OLD. lol



Didn't do the TV cable adjustment today, too cold. Gonna maybe try tomorrow. Picked up a pizza in it though, truck hates the cold. lol I could feel the truck groaning as I backed out.
Yep, cleaned and re-gapped. Figgered while I had them in my hand, I might just as well.

Sunday I removed a busted radiator from a newer bug and that was a pain in the ***. The whole front clip had to come off. Put it all back together to discover the watwr pump was also leaking badly which is driven by the timing belt. I hatte vw's

I never really understood why manufacturers do that kind of stupidity. Seriously, this IS a part that is going to need replaced, probably several times over the cars useful life, WHY IN HADES do they make it darn near impossible to change??? GM did the same thing with the Quad 4 DOHC motors. I was cursing their engineers every time I had to do one.

Default She got some new Bling!

Put new 20" Blastic (Rock star look) Chrome wheels and 4 new 35X12.5 R20" Cooper M/T tires....looks sweet. Still like the look of my 14.50's better. Now if I could just get that trans to stop leaking, and that small rev out from 2nd to 3rd! That's what next. Bone Daddy's for lunch then back to my baby.
