Does anyone have a manual window regulator for an 85 dodge truck drivers door? I can't find one aftermarket or through a dealer (discontinued item) not having any luck at local salvage yards either. Also checked with lmc truck and JC Whitney with no luck. I can get power regulators but nothing manual. Trying to restore truck back to original for my Dad. Any ideas would be appreciated

My HOA also hates me but for a much different reason(s).

Is it for doinking your cat out on the deck?

Just saw a clip for a new show called "Junkyard Empire" on Velocity where they were doing a Mad Max Interceptor replica. I'll be sure to watch to see how the switchable 671 blower works.

Never thought I see a show about a freaking junkyard.

Get with the times. They are now called automotive reclaimation centers.

Remember the Key Fobs That Wouldn’t Work in a Specific Part of Chicago? Something Similar Appears to Be Happening to Drivers in Virginia
It happened in a specific part of Chicago – and now it’s happening across one region of Virginia.

The keyless car remotes commonly used among drivers to lock and unlock their vehicles aren’t working, and no one seems to know why.

Of course the UPS key fobs would never have any problems. Would they?

Electromagnetic interference. People in Bremerton (Navy) have trouble getting garage door openers to work at times due to the Navy's high powered equipment.

My biggest problem is it seem everyone at my center has master fobs. Nothing like 20 plus bulkhead doors all opening at once.

Don't you still have to get air in it quick to push the bead tight?

That's funny....I sent this picture to a friend in Vegas and he said, "love the color...would show no dirt and dust...perfect for Vegas"

It's all personal likes and dislikes.

I think it's a "ho-hum" color...boring!

Yes. They demonstrated this on "Mythbusters". It's just a handy method to get big tires seated on the rim. Our Goodyear tire guy had a big air tank with a nozzle and a swivel valve that did the same thing. Others use a ring to distribute the blast.

Does anybody have a problem with retarded ignition timing?
