Finally! The state has been talking about this for a while now.

I want these in VA for normal registrations.
Right now you can use them if you can find an old set in great condition and they match the year of the vehicle and are registered as antique / classic / or other limited use.
Even then, no new ones, that would be so great.

New plates all have a certain reflectivity and colors so camera plate readers can read them easily.

You can register the old plates here as well. I think you have to have both though, or you are SOL.

A guy on FB was pissed at Chrysler for breaking his puller...



Then he posted this too.... Ummmmmm....





EDIT: Apparently there were quite a few of us looking at this the same way (so I don't feel as bad)... BUT, I guess he's actually trying to get the CV axle to break free.

I assume that person didn't know the BFH with BR on the axle center trick.

Sometimes one must escalate the BR to a SP.

I had one that was stubborn a while back, ended up trashing the axel shaft to get the bearing off.

I've officially sold 4 jobs. Two 4L60's, a 4L80, and a 48RE. Pretty sure I'll get a 6L90 job I quoted too. Jeez... all off one simple ad I did on Sunday.

I think I might have installed this Sum8itch on the wrong side. I can't get much adjustment.



I can't get the strut to line up correctly with the spindle so I can put the bolts in. No damn instructions either. I out one bolt in it, and called it a night last night.

All better. Turns out the end link wasn't allowing it to go into position. Also figured out how to use the spacers on the caster camber plate.

This is all you have to do to allow the New Edge calipers to mount to SN95 spindles. Just grind a little nub off the casting.

I ordered some Kroil for my manifold studs. If it ever gets here, could it impact the gasket? The gasket is presently working fine. I don't want to wreck it with the oil.
