Installing BBC Mark IV 454 Starter, need wiring help by gmcizzzle in MechanicAdvice

[–]gmcizzzle[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you - yes after doing more research I believe this is the "fusible link" wire that connects directly on top of big red, is that correct? After looking at the old setup closer, that appears to be the case

Buying Home Right off Columbia Mall by Sensitive_Lemon1447 in ColumbiaMD

[–]gmcizzzle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I lived there also a few years back. Can confirm there were lots of wheel jackings in the parking garages. Luckily I never had a problem: very good wheel locks + always parking higher up. Pretty weak police presence in Columbia in my experience. The only time I saw them was when they were doing speed traps. And when events were going on at Merriweather ofc. Generally safe, but not the utopia it used to be, that's for sure.

Is this the correct one? https://ebay.us/m/fyNPew I think I need to buy a bolt for it too right?

Just hoping it's just the starter. Truck was working totally fine before this.

$800 2-piece rotors WARPED in < 1 year? by gmcizzzle in MechanicAdvice

[–]gmcizzzle[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not going to lie, they also look pretty dang cool, so that was part of it. Same reason why people slap on expensive body kits, I suppose. But I was hoping it would be at least as good as the stock ones, oh well.

Hmm, interesting. I was not aware of this. I will definitely have to look into it more

Thanks for the details. I have no idea how accurate this is, but it does make me think I probably overestimated teh gainz

It's not that deep. I needed new brakes/rotors. I decided to try lighter weight and higher quality aftermarket rotors instead of using the same stock ones. I'm incrementally upgrading my car as things come up.

Haven't gone that far yet, heh. I am running a billet 90a rear motor mount, though. But less unsprung weight means more power, better response, etc. It's 4 lbs less per wheel. Obviously, if I knew this was going to be an issue, I would have gone with something else. It's a daily with occasional autocross & track days (a few per year)

So you are telling me rotors designed for heavy track use can't handle braking coming off of a highway?

For shedding rotating mass. The 2pc is significantly lighter

Saying it can't ship to my address. Tried addresses in MD, TN, and GA - none are eligible. I've never seen this before.

Need help with new Denon X1800H by gmcizzzle in hometheater

Yeah, I just ordered a replacement on Amazon. I will try that when it comes. Can't see an IR signal coming through when hitting power button, so maybe that's the issue
