    Help On Removing Axle-backs

    I finally realized why I was having such a tough time getting them off. The previous owner that put the Flowmasters on used a clamp that was two heavy guage wire loops vs the wide strap kind and he way over-torqued the clamp and seriously crimped the pipe. I was able to get the passenger side...

    Help On Removing Axle-backs

    I have a propane torch (not sure how effective that would be?), but I'm a bit nervous about using a torch with all the plastic fuel lines in the vicinity. I could beat on it with a rubber mallet, but is there any risk of damaging anything farther up the line such as the cats or manifolds? I...

    Help On Removing Axle-backs

    I've got a 2006 GT that has Flowmaster axle-backs and I'm guessing the previous owner put those on at least 5 years ago. I picked up a set of Roush axle-backs and tried to swap them in yesterday, started on the passenger side and had no problems with the four hanger bolts, loosened the pipe...

Oh, and the $640 charge for pump replacement was the going rate in my neighborhood in Chicago (everything is expensive here). I don't believe...

    Fuel Check valve to fix fuel pressure issue?

    Actually, I took it to a mechanic and so I have no idea what may be going on in there. He told me he put in an AC Delco pump, new strainer, and a new filler neck gasket--or at least I hope that's what happened for my $640. It's been way too long to go back to him for a warranty repair so that's...

    Fuel Check valve to fix fuel pressure issue?

    I've got an '01 that won't hold fuel pressure at the rail (goes from 35 to zero in about 40 seconds) and as a result I have to crank forever to get it to start, or prime with key turns a couple times but that's a pain. I replaced all 8 fuel injectors with a reconditioned set of delco injectors...
