    OT, racks for a Z71?

    I have an '08 Chevy Z71 w/ extended cab , no racks on top. I'd like to be able to carry my canoe on the roof. It's a Dagger "Encore", 13' open whitewater canoe with a lot of rocker (shaped a lot like a banana). The ladder racks I've seen to fit the bed won't work due to the curve of the boat...

    WTH? Package Received.

    Not sure how big the pieces are but they look like blanks for making violins. The backs are usually one solid piece of maple although sometimes they are made from 2 pieces. Nice wood, definitely don't burn it.

    vent control cable

    Have you tried Quadratec? My son just got a new temperature cable from them. I think they had all the others too.

    Door Panel Cardboard

    I had mine replaced by a local shop that specializes in hot rods. Not sure what the product was that he used but it was stronger than than original but not any thicker.

    Pics of the 83 project i bought.

    Looks salvageable to me. It has less rust than mine. I sweep dirt and leaves out through the holes in the floor.

    Loud fuel pump... gotta replace it - it's too loud

    I just replaced my fuel pump about a month ago. It was from NAPA and it was loud. The replacement came from NAPA also but it's very quiet. The replacement is slightly different than the old one, but I think it's made by the same company. The box is my barn so I can get the model info if you...

    Shifter boots

    I'd like to know this too. I've replaced them a few years ago in both CJ's and they both look like crap now. The boot in my GM truck lasted 17 years and was still in good shape when the truck finally died. The one in my Trooper lasted 18 years and was still in decent shape when I sold it.

    Fuel pump question

    Turned out to be a bad ignition coil. She's up and running again.

    Fuel pump question

    I swapped the pump out yesterday. I stuck a fat pencil in the hose to stop the gas flow while I changed the pump. Only lost about a pint of gas. I actually read the directions for the pump. It states "drain the gas tank". With 20 gallons of gas that wasn't an option. Still won't...

    Fuel pump question

    It's been cold and windy so I haven't messed with it. It's been sitting for days so I hope it won't happen again. I think I will remove the cap though. I've swapped these out twice before and the only gas i lost was the little bit in the filter/lines - maybe a couple of ounces. The tank is...

    yesterday morning my wife had the tv on, not sure which program - the one with Al Roker. Guess who the guest was for the cooking segment - Kimberly Schlapman!

    Fuel pump question

    It didn't stop, I just stuck it back on the pump and re-clamped it. So if it's been sitting for hours that shouldn't happen? I did try to start it a few minutes before pulling the hose.

    Fuel pump question

    The Scrambler died on the road friday afternoon. I was in 5th running about 72 when it sputtered and began to loose speed. I tried to excellerate but it sputtered so I went to 4th and was able to maintain 65 as long as i was very easy on the pedal. Traffic ahead of me made me hit the brakes and...

    My Father-In-Law

    I'm very sorry for your family's loss. I think as long as she has a private entrance, bath and kitchen (or kitchenette) things should be fine. My parents live in the house next door which my wife inherited 10 years ago from her aunt. My mother is in the hospital right now with a broken leg...
