    Trailer hitches for C bodies

    ...for what was needed in my case, from a shop that was at least 30 minutes away, was a big "not sure if I want to do that" situation. Detroit Eaton Spring was doing OEM items and Espo was not learned of until the middle 1990s or so. By observation, the Load Levelers were not a good...

    ...We had one of the most prolific launches in the LH cars and the Viper but we just couldn't keep up the momentum. I guess it only got worse when Eaton took over then we were wishing for Lutz to come back. We still are angry about the product development he took with him to GM like the PT...

    66 Monaco Wagon Preservation

    ...or if torsion bars may be the problem. New leaf springs in the back with wagon specs. I have followed some other threads regarding this and Eaton Detroit looks good. were all Monaco wagon suspensions the same or were there heavier duty factory options? New HD rear shocks eliminating the...

    So I became an old man Saturday

    ...that I can see but they squeak and rattle like a bad bed frame. As soon as I get the interior stabilized, I'll order a 2 inch arched set from Eaton, who was the OE supplier. They come with new fasteners and bushings and that's about a grand to my door + install. I just topped off the tank...

    Limited slip or full spool?

    ...is) will have no great advantages anywhere except the dragstrip or for stunt driving in a movie. However, better than both would have to be an Eaton Truetrac centre (available for many rears, I'm not sure about yours). It is tough, reliable, always spins two wheels when the pedal's down...

    Just picked up an open 742 3.23 third member

    ...without the noise. FAQ's - Auburn Gear. Manufacturing is being moved out of Auburn Indiana so we need info on where the parts will be made. Eaton will close Auburn clutch factory I have trouble comparing Auburn to Jegs: Jegs is assembled in America, so that's a positive. Jegs doesn't give...

    ...wrestled it down. detmatt and rapidtrans are locals, so we only continued on these two "Dude's" good graces. :) Vinsetta Garage, Woodward @ Eaton, Berkley Michigan. Dating back to 1919, one of the oldest purpose-built garages in America. Now a popular local eatery. Motor City: Dine at...

    Sergio Marchione dead at age 66

    Daimler first approached Ford, who rebuffed them. Then they found weakness in Eaton, plus a willingness to "sell" the idea to Chrysler shareholders as necessary going forward (like Sergio did) so it could done as a stock exchange. I believe Chrysler shareholders received $.62 on the dollar for...

    I pulled the trigger on 2019 Scat Pack Charger

    It figures. I wonder if Bob Eaton haz been run over in a Wally World Parking Lot yet? The deal he cut with the Nazis that allowed them to buy the Corporation with the money the Corporation had in the piggy Bank minus the golden parachute he got was unbelievable. And all the M.B. employees got a...

    Eaton Detroit should know as they likely made them for the assembly plants.

    FCA's Marchionne is in Grave health and has been replaced by Mike Manley

    IMO, he was a lot better than Robert Eaton and Bob Lutz, who sold out to Daimler Benz and started all the problems. I bet he would have stood up to Kirk Kerkorian. Hope he gets better!

    Lee Iacocca, RIP

    ...cracked with sad emotion when he recalled being compared to a corporate-raider; after a failed attempt to take back leadership from Robert Eaton. He termed Eaton's hire “his biggest mistake”. As a friend told me; it was obvious he wanted this off his chest, but couldn’t do it publicly.‎ He...
