    Drum brakes don't work

    Hello everyone, Well I finally got my locked rear brakes fixed and bled. Everything was looking good until I jacked her up to see if anything was actually happening. Nothing was happening. I pulled the drum off and when I pressed the brakes the wheel cylinder did not go. It looked like it was...

    Flooring ideas?

    Hello everyone, The floor in the cab of my truck is a terrible rusty mess. There's the factory rubberized carpet stuff all over and it is cracked and rotten and traps water which causes rust. My plan is to pull it all out, spray with a rust inhibitor, and patch the holes with sheet metal, but I...

    After a good wax...

    I thought my paint was pretty much good as gone, but I had some pre polish and some turtle wax and the weather was right so I figured I'd see how it looked. I was pleasantly surprised, even the tan sides have a good satin finish to them. Didn't know how good my truck looked under all that wear!

    Did the power rams have a hood ornament?

    My 86 power ram 250 has no hood ornament or holes for one. The previous owner told me power rams didn't have them, but I keep seeing pictures of ones that do. Did they put them on or do I have a replacement hood?

    Power Ram 250 runs and drives, but won't get faster than 40 mph

    Well, I finally got my 86 power ram to run today so I took it for a drive. It ran pretty well, but it felt like it was working really hard on the hills and wouldn't get above 15 up the steep hills. On flat ground it would go 40 if I completely floored the pedal. It shifted from first to second...
