I have archived it, and scraped the site again today.

Save this link, you can also download the board as well.

Sorry to hear it and thank you for keeping it up so long.

There are a few posts on here that were really helpful when I was rebuilding my front end, and doing other projects on the car.  Is there any way to archive the board's contents?  I'm sure other people could benefit too.  If there isn't an easy way to archive it, maybe we could manually copy a few threads to the other board?

Appreciate everything that you and the other folks here have done!

Sad to hear.  It was good while it lasted!

My advice is to screenshot the pages you want and save on your PC or phone. Once the board is shutdown the links you save will come up as a error. Another option is try a free program called  http://web.archive.org/     It's hit and miss but covers the history of any website.

General Buick Tech / Aftermarket oil cooler hoses and ends

« Last post by kjhansen on February 17 2025, 04:56:52 PM »

My ’87 TR has an aftermarket B&M oil cooler. The hose ends that attach to the oil filter adapter don’t match the stock hose ends and they leak. I can’t replace the hoses with stock hoses, as the aftermarket unit mounts in front of the radiator so the stock hoses are too short. Is there anywhere I can get the correct hose ends? Or long enough hoses that have the correct hose ends on them?
p.s. B&M apparently doesn’t make this kit anymore.

Hello heathens.

Due to an increase in hosting costs, I will be shutting down this message board no later than 02/25/2025.
Even though I sold my TR over 4 years ago, I liked having a little corner of the web for folks like us, and you.
It was fine when it cost me $5/mo, but the recent increase to $21/mo isn't feasible for me.
I created a FB group last year expecting this, and all are welcome to join if they care to. At this point, Steve and I will be admins - Jeremy if he chooses to.

https://www.facebook.com/groups/460792206682271
I've never made  FB group, and probably fucked it up, feel free to tell me so.

Wither way, it's been a decade+ long ride, it's time to sunset the site. I will retain the URL, but the board will be gone.

THanks!
Mark

Do your homework on the 8 and 10 speed transmissions if they're applicable to what you're buying. Not sure when they started offering them.

I may upgrade to a 3/4 ton gasser at some point but it will still be pre 2007
