    Gasoline In Texas

    My question is ‘What is the better gasoline brand in Texas?’ Please allow me to state my observations. In the winter, when you would think our trucks would run best (cold air at sea level), I get a great deal of knock. I came across a chemical engineer for Shell driving a WRX, so I asked...

    Looking For Front Drive Shaft Suggestions

    My Typhoon came with a DynoTech front drive shaft. I have seen pictures of some of the DynoTech shafts and mine is the one with dual U joints at the transfer case side and a CV joint ant the differential side. There is a ball thing between the dial U joints and that is what went out. Didn’t...

    My AC Fan (Blower) Isn’t Providing Enough Volume

    The AC fan (blower) isn’t providing enough volume of air in my Typhoon. If I have someone in the back seat, they don’t get any cold even when I have selected ‘Max Air’. The past month it has been near 100 degrees. The air is cold coming out of the vents but not as much volume as I think...

    Suggestions / How to Fix Upper Rear Shock Mount Wanted

    My 92 Typhoon daily driver broke the rear upper shock mount. It looked like one side of the post of the upper shock broke and then the other side just flexed the shock mount so much that it broke where the bolt holds the shock to the mount. The piece of the mount still bolted to the shock...

    Where to buy replacement plastic rivet things

    I got into a little altercation that required some repair to my rocker panel on the passenger side. Where do I get replacement plastic rivet things to hold the top of the rocker panel cladding on? I figure I’ll use screws on the bottom side where it isn’t seen.

    Who Knows about Tires and Nitrogen?

    I was talking to a friend of mine about why tires seem to loose air down to about 25 pounds of pressure regularly. He explained to me that tire manufactures try to skimp on materials building tires and often this allows the air to seep through the synthetic rubber. Something like why a balloon...

    How Do I Stop a Fan Belt Squeal?

    My fan belt just keeps squealing. More of a chirp at idle (most embarrassing). I replaced the belt, the idler and the tensioneer but it still chirps. I also checked out the AC, alternator, power steering and water pump bearings for extra noise and found none. I looked down the alignment...

    Rear Window Hinge Replacement

    My rear window hinge on me Typhoon is falling apart. Maybe because the window lifts are too stout. It can’t be because the rear air foil is lifting the truck on launches because I don’t have a rear foil. Well, I went to GMS and they wanted $40.00 and they couldn’t even promise when it would...

    Jacksonville North Carolina

    My wife and I flew into North Carolina to see my son at Camp LeJune in Jacksonville. We were sitting at a stop light on Western and a black on black Typhoon pulled up next to us taking the left turn lane. It was good looking with two guys in it. I sort of wanted to toss a hand sign (a good...

    Passing IC Water Trough TB?

    I was thinking and wanted the opinion of others about this. The throttle body has a passage in it where the hot water from the radiator was designed to flow. I know, -> stupid idea. But what about passing the intercooler water through there to cool down the TB? The passage is a choke point but...
