Did the server change not help? It seemed to speed up for a short while, but now it's slower to me than it was before the swap. The load time from when you click on a link to a thread to when you actually get the thread has gotten considerably longer. It's somewhere around 5-10 seconds for...

Does the car have to be real pretty, or can it be an average older mopar? I have a few pictures of some stuff, like the '74 challenger for example, that might look ok with the other pictures that get rotated on the banner.

You're probably wondering what the hell that thread title means. It's the summary of where I stand with getting the transmission back in the duster. I have the new cooler lines, the b&m flexplate to run a neutral converter behind a 360, new front and rear seals installed in trans, new filter...

Hi all, This is my first and probably only beggar's post. I hired a guy a few weeks ago who is a great worker. His late 80's olds front drive car just quit on him, and he's unlikely to get it fixed anytime soon for a variety of reasons. Some of us are getting him to and from work, but...

Hi all, The title says it all-I just bought a 360 duster. Not a swap recipient-this one came with the 360. From what little research I've done, it seems that this will be the 245 hp engine, which seems pretty potent to me considering that it's a net rating and it was made in 1974. Other...

Hi all, The gas prices caused me to do something formerly unimaginable-we traded in Lisa's hemi truck on a new civic. She doesn't want to go back to driving a car, so she's now driving the '06 4x4 diesel to work, and I'm...pimpin' in the civic. A brand new '08 2 door automatic-not a bad...

I have some good news-I'm getting promoted to manager of the Montgomery location here at pull a part. I'm currently the assistant manager, and we're opening a new location this summer in Mobile, AL. The manager wants to move down there to be near the beach. They've decided to let him do that...

I wonder if any moparnuts ever come through the pullapart here in Montgomery without me even knowing? You guys know you can check our inventory online, right? It's pullapart.com. If any of you should happen to come to the Montgomery location and see a guy with a keychain hanging from a cloth...

Hi all, Ever notice that if you click on one of the items at the top left of your application window, like "file", "edit", "view", etc. that a dropdown menu appears? Then, when you're done with that, it stays primed to explode that dumb shit out at you like a jack-in-the-box. Let's say...

Now that I live out in the country, I can build a bonfire pretty much whenever I want. A buddy's boss came up with the idea of putting a drum with water/degreaser and some dirty parts over the fire. Sounded like a really good idea to me-stand around and drink beer while the parts get cleaned...

We bought a '79 diplomat yesterday with a 318 in it. Funny thing is, it has an eddy performer manifold on it. I have to wait until it gets processed and goes out on the yard, but once it's there it won't last 30 minutes if I'm working that day. 1/2 price employee discount babyyyy! The...

Hi all, Sorry I haven't posted much (maybe some of you aren't?)-I've been terribly busy lately, especially since the store (pull a part) opened last Monday. As many of you know, I have quite a few big blocks lying around in various states of assembly and disassembly. I've long known...

When I fed the two cats this morning, they both began head butting each other lightly to eat out of the same bowl while I got more food to fill the second bowl. When I put the second bowl of food down, they ignored it and continued to eat out of the first, shoving each other out of the way...

I had a stroke of genius today when I was on the old loader and saw the forklift that had suffered a fire at some point. (we inherited both machines when we bought the property, the forklift was apparently destroyed long before we got it.) The forklift weighs 7860 lbs in it's present condition.

It's "Island Girl" by Elton John. Helluva neat song-it didn't have the typical pop music cadence. I don't remember it from 1975 when it was popular, but I heard it on a radio station during a trip and wanted to know more about it. I didn't realize it was about a Jamaican prostitute until I...

Today we close on the house/shop I mentioned in the "show us your shop" thread. I guess the stress is finally getting to me-I woke up last night at about 1:00 and had trouble getting back to sleep. It's a big payment to take on...

I got my new machine up last night, and got all the updates and patches installed today. Raid 0 makes quite a difference in boot and app loading times! I have the screaming blithering idiot of video cards (8800 ultra), so it rips through some video benchmarks as well. So far, it has posted a...

Literally! I've been enjoying all the newfound power the dually has after finding and eliminating the 4th fuel filter in the system. Today I noticed sort of a whooshing hissing sound under high boost. It didn't sound like a boost leak, but rather an exhaust leak. I raised the hood and...

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/nepal_airline_odd_dc;_ylt=AqOhkKe.H3RFUeSLltCCNW0E1vAI I'm sorry, but I don't want to ever fly with them.

Hi all, I got another one a couple of days ago. It's an imperial old enough to have a pushbutton transmission setup in it. Sadly, this one is too rusty to be worth restoring, but it still has a ton of good parts left on it-mostly interior parts and stuff like chrome and trim pieces...
