  • Swapping 1/2 ton leaf spring to 3/4 ton?

    I have a 1994 chevrolet suburban(silverado body package) k1500 (4wd). Currently i have 2 inch lift blocks under the rear. I want to remove the blocks and still have the same 2 inch lift in the rear (or maybe a bit more ;-) ) can i swap in springs from a 2500 suburban or pickup from the same year and still achieve the same lift? Also, are the dimensions the same as far as being able to use my stock spring hangers, shackles, and perches?

  • craftsman lawn mower oil leak?

    I have a crafstman YS 4500 lawn mower model no. 917.276181. and it has developed an annoying oil leak. i hosed off the engine with degreaser and cleaned it all up. let it sit for a day, and it seems the oil is coming from the underside of the engine. now the only way oil is leaking from there is if there is a crack or the pto oil seal is bad. my question is: how hard is this to replace?

  • Grinding Chattering Noise In 1st & 2nd?

    I have a 1992 f150 with a 4.9L and a M50D 5spd trans. when I am under heavy load in first and second gear (such as starting off uphill) I hear a low deep chattering grinding noise. I can feel it in the floor. also if i gun it in 3rd gear, it sometimes makes this noise too. My clutch is less than a year old, so i dont think it could be that. or can it? the clutch doesnt seem to slip at all. the truck goes fine when i accelerate.

  • Truck Wobbles When Braking?

    I know y'all are gonna say warped rotors, but the strange thing is i dont feel any pulse in the brake pedal. I have a 1992 f150 4.9L engine 5spd manual trans. when I brake at low speed (25mph or less) I dont feel it. when I brake from 25MPH or higher, the truck bounces like it has a warped rotor, the steering wheel shimmys a tiny bit but the brake pedal does not move at all. ball joints and tie rod ends are only a couple years old. I dont feel any vibration when cruising, only braking. whats my issue here?

  • Greyhound Wont Eat. WTF?

    ok, so at our house, we have 2 rescue Greyhounds, 1 Italian Greyhound, and a dirt old beagle mix. our problem lies with one of these dumb greyhounds. he doesnt eat! if you so much as stand in a different spot than you did they day before, he wont eat. you cant move or make any noise in the house if he does start eating, because he'll stop and just look around like an idiot.if the furniture is re-arranged, or if one of the other dogs is away, he'll just stare at his food and wont eat. the other dogs eat just fine. but this one wont. why? he's perfectly healthy
