Rolling coal is a failure of air supply, not a failure of fueling. A diesel that is rolling coal would not make more power if you reduced fueling until it was burning clean. Diesel doesn’t quench like gas, its reduction reaction (what makes the soot out of diesel) is hot enough that cyl temps (and power) increase…

If there was a scale for somethings ability to resist decomposition, it would start from the bottom like;

When I see a gallery of photos that consists of less than every angle of the car it tells me the owner is listless or hiding something. When the owner only takes one 3/4 view of the car’s exterior and takes it twice while it resides solely in a poorly lit garage but is willing to get on the ground to take a poorly lit…

Also, check for a trans cooler! Big downfall of the V8 swap is that people don’t hook the trans cooler back up and it gets cooked.

That’s not a stock rear axle. I couldn’t tell you exactly what it is, but the gussets b/w the pumpkin and axle tubes and there’s extra bracketry that appears to be for a panhard rod mount in a coil sprung application.

There are two phenomenon, similar yet different. Dendrites is one, a crystalline structure grown from the chemicals on the board, with an electrolytic process. The other one is tin whiskers, which is more like a fuzz that grows on bare connectors. In both instances, the shift from lead to other less hazardous metals…

Obligatory...

Yeah, that’s true. I guess I should have stated that if I buy something that’s going to have a salvage title, I buy an abandoned vehicle from a tow company auction. Minimal work to get it road ready

There are cheaper ways to look like the neighborhood drug dealer, CP.

Uber requires the vehicle be no older than 10 years, or currently 2006.

“Nivelo, who is from Ecuador, had been deported four times prior to his midtown Manhattan snatching spree.”

If anything we need to relax Immigration laws. And more Sanctuary Cities!

You’re not gonna see many carb’ed 4.6 mod motors out there, and that sure as hell isn’t an OHC motor sitting in that engine compartment.

I’ve fwallen, and I can’t get up!

Nah. It’s definitely a 5.0 Windsor engine. It’s just not out of a 2001 Mustang. Unless it was swapped into that pony car first.

I’d be wary of this, the seller isn’t even sure what he has. If Ford did actually offer the 302 in 2001, it wasn’t in the Mustang. More likely it has the 4.6L V8 they put in the Mustang, which wasn’t Ford’s proudest achievement engineering-wise.

Inevitable aliexpress listing

“That’s just not the sort of thing that can really happen here in America.”

I’ll be damned is this wasn’t a shot over Tavarish’s bow.

The U.S. Geological Survey’s Astrogeology Research Program was in charge of teaching astronauts how to moon in the 1960s.

Saw an early 4x4 and my dad went at length explaining these to me. This video is super relevant.
