    Volvo Penta 270 5L V8 power steering issue

    Start with a fluid change. Pull the PRV valve, remove the clip, pull apart the stack, clean the parts and reassemble. Will cost you 2 hours and a few quarts of oil

    Radio delete went by the way of manual transmissions, manual windows, glass headlight lenses, and diesels with mechanical pumps

    picking up a low mileage LS4 off facetube marketplace about an hour south for the luddite build. found an insanely low short block in the Chicago area someone robbed the heads off of as well. working on getting that too, pulling in a favor with a bud that may be running up there.

    If only the auto makers would take heed of customer desires instead of using social engineering to push tech few people really want to push profits. a failed backup camera can kill the whole CAN/LAN, which can take out HVAC, infotainment, start control, window control, etc. and in 3-5 years...

    215 sundowner transom

    The transom rotted after the stringers rotted Replacing the transom from the outside is 2x the work for 1/2 as good a job plus you still need to pull the boat apart to take care of the stringers, saturated foam and the soon to be rotten floor
