You may have a small air leak in a fuel line. Very simple test to find out. just replace the fuel line pointed to in the picture with a clear hose like in the picture. Re prome the system than go for a drive. when you park it there should be no air in the tube. Let it sit for a few hours or a...

Well I can not speak for other people but my truck is pretty much stock. I will admit that I was using some additives while making those runs, which might help explain some what what I get compared to the other figures combined with keeping it at 55 mph. Its also important to remember that these...
Its not to bad all things considering. $30 worth of parts (well $40 since if I am going to replace one headlight I figure why not replace the other.) and my tuck will pass inspection, besides that needle problem. I am thinking that if i just glue a piece of plastic to act as a guied for the wire...
i did a cross country trip two weeks ago in my M1009 and got about 18 MPG the whole way, while towing a 70 somthing mini on a car doly. Keep it at about 55 and you will do fine with gas milage. when I was driving through and around yellow stone I averaged 21 MPG and that was doing only 45 tops...

I took a metal box and installed a radio and and a cut apart an inverter, turned on with toggle switches. I took that whole set up and placed it on the radio rack. Still have to get an antena for my set up but since it had a aux cable I used it all the way from MT to VA
My speedometer died on my last week and it has me scratching my head. First I checked the cable and it apears good, then I disconected the cable from the speedometer and drove around a bit. while I could not see the cable itself I could feel the center turning like it is supose to. So I...

Is the first one the Pic you wanted to see.
Today's Update
Well today Was very short on driving. I drove only a total of about 150 miles today. I spent pretty much the entire day at the Air Force Musuem at Wright Patterson. If any of you plan on going makesure you plan on spending the whole...
Todays update.
Well today started off interesting. Last night when I pulled into the hotel i did not see any good spots to park a truck with a trailer so I drove to the empty parking lot in the back and parked acoss the spots in the rear. This morning there were a number of cars parked there as...
Todays update.
Today my goal was to make it to lincoln's tomb. Originally I was thinking that it was going to take me a day of driving than I would see it tommorrow. Well I made it there by 5 so I spent a little time looking around then decided to press on. I managed to cover an extra 122...
I wish I knew of that place before hand. Though i'd probably end up buying things.
Well any way todays trip.
