    Starter ran off on me

    Most people have this problem when they turn the key and energize the relay and it sticks and doesn't disengage when they release the key. I would be wondering why it randomly decided to engage and stick.

    Starter ran off on me

    I am having trouble understanding how you drove 30 miles with a stuck starter relay. Or did you kill it and restart it when you got home? I would look to other causes if the starter suddenly re engaged on its own at the end of the trip.

    whistler turbo sound

    I would like to thank Menaces Nemesis again for his suggestion. It was surprisingly easy to do and only took a couple of minutes. Unless someone can come up with another source of the sound I plan to take his advise and just drive it and see if it gets worse. I would like to reiterate that...

    whistler turbo sound

    Finally made it back to the house. No oil, turns freely, very little free play. There was a little soot. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

    whistler turbo sound

    So if I am hearing a bearing I can probably rebuild it, but if I run it til it breaks I am probably going to need a new turbo?

    I thought about that but I don't live there anymore and I get busy packing and moving while I am there. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

    whistler turbo sound

    I have this M109 with a whistler turbo that I am convinced the bearings are going out on. While reading threads about this I keep seeing all these post about how much louder these are than other trucks. Sitting in the cab I don't really see what all the fuse is about because I don't think it is...

    How to remove the Fuel Shutoff Rod on the IP

    Wouldn't it be a good idea to replace the O ring if one went to the trouble to disassemble and clean this or is it some high tolerance hard to find O ring.

    GL and SF97 issues

    I have to chime in and say that they didn't notify everyone. I didn't get a notice and I bought several things that should have had a SF97. I paid the money for the ones I planned to put on the road but I have several parts trucks and a number of trailers that I didn't. They may have to turn...

    Who is handling the general surplus now that GL is out?

    After a lot of scrolling I finally found one interesting lot. A veterinarian set in four field medical cases. Starting bid is $2525.00 so not for the average surplus collector. Then I saw this at the end "No Loading Dock, Ramps, or Forklift Available: Only RGN or trailers with ramps can be...

    MVPA Convention (2018) - Louisville, KY

    No, but I did talk to the owner. He found two of them in the desert. This one was pretty much as found with a few missing parts from the other one. It was nice.

    MVPA Convention (2018) - Louisville, KY

    I was able to get off and go at the last minute and was even able to get a room at the host hotel. Here is a link to all the pictures I took. Missed seeing Dave. Didn't seem like there was many bargains to be had this year. https://1plant4u.smugmug.com/MVPA-2018-Convention

    CUCV Long Term storage container

    I have had more trouble with bugs than I have with mice. After 30 years of collecting I have decided to relocate 30 miles to the south of where I am now. Finding a nice house with outbuildings, parking for the collection of MVs and trailers and no city ordinances at the right price point is...

    CUCV Long Term storage container

    What are the pros and cons of using ISO containers for storage? I was wondering about humidity and condensation. I have been having trouble with that in S280 shelters and they are insulated.

    Calling all Generator Owners

    It has been a long time since I have messed around with my 10 kw gas trailer mounted units, but I remember the TM making a big deal out of grounding the trailer before starting the unit.

    Glow plug relay question

    Are these $9 relays NOS military surplus or something the seller bought from China? I thought the days of buying surplus parts for 10 to 20 cents on the dollar were gone. Kind of reminds me why I got into this hobby 25 years ago.
