Thought I’d link this if anybody likes the Gymkhana videos. This is Ken Blocks latest Gymkhana video with his mildly modified 65 Mustang, the "Hoonicorn", version 2.0 going up hill. I think this version makes 1400 hp to all 4 wheels chugging …

This was in my Hagerty news email today. I haven’t had time yet to read it, but I thought some of you guys would like to read it.

Hagerty;Imperial Dreams: Why Chrysler’s forgotten luxury brand couldn’t make it with the Sinatra set

I have no current intentions of doing this but I watched this video this a.m. and was wondering if anyone here had converted something over to propane, like an old car or truck.

I’m guessing there are kits out, but I’ve never really looked or even thought about it until this video. I’ve driven propane fueled equipment before so I know what that’s like, just not in a vehicle. What’s yall’s thoughts?

The truck is a 2005 Ram 1500 5.7 AWD

I’m hoping someone here will be able to help me troubleshoot my problem. I was driving home and everything was fine. I turned onto my road, got on it, then out of nowhere while still in the throttle, a pop/jolt and I lost all gears forward and reverse. She was running fine before and the engine runs fine now. But when idling there is now a growling noise (it sounds like a 6/71 blower, there is fluid in the pan). I was thinking I blew a line, but…

Help Me figure Out My Transmission Issues, Ram 1500

I’m tired of doing the 5 gal can shuffle so I’m looking into to storing some fuel, non-ethenol pump gas to be specific. I have a supply/choice of 55 gal drums available to me (metal that shipped ink or plastic that shipped an industrial solvent). I expect 55 gal to supply me for 3-4 months at most so I’m not trying to store fuel for a year.

I do keep diesel fuel in a plastic drum like this for my tractor and have done so for many years with no issues, but I have never kept gas, so…

Fuel Storage (Gas) Suggestions/Experience

I saw this yesterday and thought I’d post it here.

Personally I’ve always had good results from Autozone batteries, with all lasting 7 years or more. I thought it was interesting that Wal Mart batteries are made by the same company but deliver a little more power. I wonder if they last as long.

So I drove my car (65 New Yorker) to get breakfast this morning and everything was fine. I got back and washed it, then when I went to put it back in the garage she would start like normal, then immediately cut off when I let off of the key/put it in the run position. I tried it a few times and figured out that she will run if I hold the key just off of starter engagement. Obviously not good, but I was able to back it in the garage and she ran fine while doing so. I’ve never had a similar…
