Swapped the new line in this morning and ran a 20amp load on it for an hour. No leaks! Thanks to the Steel Soldiers brain trust.

Getting an 002a ready to be a backup at our house in NH. Fresh batteries and oil in, sucked out the old diesel from the tank and replaced with new. It started and ran, power was output to the convenience 120v plug to run a light strip and an electric heater to see the function test. Fuel...

nice ride. I'd buy one in a second

M1009 ignition cylinder replacement Well, I read through the vehicle security, and the CUCV FAQ, and what I gleaned was that if you want to change your ignition cylinder, you need a specific tool. My set of keys is somewhere on a 19 mile ATV trail under snow/mud.:roll: I have the OEM...

Thanks for the tip. Ordered and shipped. Thank you for the offer!

Mine were 'misplaced' by my 9 year old, who thought it would be a good idea to take the keys on a quad ride through 19 miles of trails. I need a set, as my truck is a paperweight without them. Thanks

I want one!

wow, I want one! Does it have the 6.5?

the system will run (short term) without either alternator, at least until the batteries are dead. Other than for the lights, they don't need many amps to run once started. even with a perfect electrical system, 2+ year old fuel may be your enemy as well. good luck.

Batteries, light bulbs, relays, starters, oil leaks, oil lines, belts, hoses, lines, window gaskets, rust. They, like all 25 year old vehicles which have been left outside, will kill you by the death of 1,000 small cuts. If it doesn't run......1,000 would be my number. 2 charged batteries...

here I was hoping against hope that my A3 transmission question would be solved :)

The issue with that is the absurd patchwork of state/zoning/HOA laws, which pretty close to literally make every one different.... Every time I read this it makes me REALLY glad I'm going to close next month on a big parcel of land, in case something like this happens in my snooty neighborhood.

but it was 460 miles when I got it. I can only say how it was treated SINCE then.

I won't disagree with you, and know about the ESP, but mine has a relatively high serial number in the run, and Carnac has placed serial numbers around it as built in 1998, even if my exact one wasn't pinned down exactly. The drivetrain at least has few miles on it, even if the rest of it has...
