    Working on getting my tranny back in and have a question?

    There is a thing as specific Automatic Transmission hose. Regular fuel hose doesn't have the same pressure rating.

    Derale external transmission oil cooler

    There's only one place to mount one where it'll get any airflow, and without airflow it's a heat sink, not a radiator.

    Spoolfool's Christmas time contest.

    Physics. The wheels are gyroscopes. So unless you turn or hit a bump, the wheel is going to say upright and moving along with the car until it stops spinning and either falls over or gets stuck under the car.

    Fuel vapor cannister replacement

    Don't overthink it. Just get a parts store replacement. It's not a performance item, and any aftermarket unit is going to incur extra cost because you'll have to use something other than the factory rubber vacuum lines to hook it up.

    Spoolfool's Christmas time contest.

    Carnage! I have a carnage story. Not a buick, though you didn't specify. It was a turbo V6 though. 1994 Ford Probe. I ran this car from 2019 until I sold it in 2024. The engine had almost 300,000 miles on it, so naturally I threw an Ebay kit at it and doubled its output. At the 2021 Pine...

    Today’s Carnage…!!! It’s Broken Pretty Good

    Yup, you can tell from the texture across the break. It's really coarse. Each one of those depressions was probably some kind of contamination. The fact it failed so uniformly is a tad scary. I'm surprised that head isn't porous and leaking water through the casting wall.

    Valve covers

    Yup. Few have survived this long, but that sticker was there from the factory.

    site is completely riddled with ads

    This shit ain't free. Here's what it looks like if you support the site: My experience is fantastic. Didn't cost that much. And this place has saved me thousands in terms of time saved keeping my bucket running.

    8HP swap?

    That's the thing about the 8HP, it doesn't seem to have problems like the others. And it's still in production, so we're still in the part of the timeline where if you pop one, it's still cheaper to just go get another instead of cracking it open and fixing it. Set the busted one in the corner...

    8HP swap?

    An 8HP is an unequivocal upgrade from any four speed transmission. It's a clutch-to-clutch all planetary design (no drums, no bands). It has eight gears so no matter where you are in terms of speed, if you mash it you're going to get a downshift and acceleration, even at 150+. It's rated for...
