    Well I just realized that 1/4" valve is for 1/4 NPT which is actually 1/2" dia so it won't work. Back to the drawing board. Iay just go ahead and try a 5/16-24 threaded one. The one the do make for this shock in 10-24 just sticks out way to far for my comfort level.

    Ok, found some 1/4" schrader valves and ordered them. Hopefully I can make them work. They are almost 5/8" long for the actual schrader part and "nut" to tighten them. 1/4 threads are just over 1/2" .

    So I took one of the Fox shocks apart Oil was almost black. Nothing damaged. Found that the piston does not have a replaceable wear band So the recess hole in the shock is 5/16". The threaded hole is 10-24. Doing my measurements, if I drill and tap for 5/16", I don't think there will be...

    Your gun is poop

    Well after 4 months, a bunch of BS excuses and a few lies thrown in for good measure, I finally got a replacement GForce Arms pistol. While I like the gun, their customer service sucks. We will see if this one last more than 30 rounds I redid the wrap and used sinew instead of their...

    Drag links

    Mine went out about the same. I replaced mine with this https://www.cjcoffroad.com/products/apex-kit185-dodge-14-20-hd-steering-kit Also check your alignment. Find a good shop and have it aligned to Thuren specs. Basically 0 to .05 toe in. That should help it some. Also tire pressure can...

    Brand New REBEL SHAKE

    It's not right Bad tires. Out of balance. Out of alignment. Motor mounts Something in the drive line. That's my guesses

    Trail camera/outdoor camera

    I live out in the country. Cell service is skecthy. I have Starlink for wifi and connection to the world. So I'm looking for a trail camera/outdoor camera system to set up around the house. Mostly to see what critters are visiting in the night. Looking for wireless that runs off solar and...

    F250 Tremor 7.3L Godzilla versus 2500 Laramie/Rebel/Power Wagon 6.4L HEMI

    When I went looking in '21, the Power Wagon came with more features that were standard. Tremor you had to pay extra for them. Things like lockers front and rear. 12K lb winch Disconnect sway bar. 4.10 gears with torsion limited slip. So make sure you are doing apples to apples. As for towing...

    If 13 is working, leave it and be happy. Seems every tire is different. And a little extra doesn't hurt anything.

    I've run them in 30", 35" and 37" as well as the tires on my Harley Bagger and family sedan. About 6 different tire brands. Even ran them in BFG mud terrain 35s. Other than a couple of issues with bags not breaking, the Kendas are the only tires I can't seem to balance with them. I usually run...

    Lower Temp Thermostat

    My Power Wagon is 7300. I weighed it at the truck scales. :cool:

    Lower Temp Thermostat

    So if you don't plan on racing the HD, why the big worry about the thermostat and running at engineered temps?
