Well, they sure know how to get the attention of a young man.... Those burning......eyes.

I've always loved the style of those years of trucks. It would be a treat to have one or four sitting' in the driveway.

That much "stuff" out of something as minor as the kitchen bread mixer, is a problem. A tablespoon of filings is A LOT. I'm hopeful the seller will make it right. (No personal experience to go on with the seller.)

More like fisherman’s wharf; Dead fish, asphalt, diesel fumes, and just a hint of vomit.

You are going to have an interesting "teenagehood" my young man. You should look into "Potato cannons" also. LOTS of fun.

Me Too, Maybe. $?

My A3 had several flats that the CTIS system would NOT inflate, The GL rep had a glad-hand air connecter and filled the tires up enough to get to the nearest truck stop. I filled them all to 50+ PSI and drove home checking every 1/2 hour or so for hot tires, bearings, etc. (Only a 2 hour drive)...

I thought that a runaway diesel was when the truck leaks enough motor oil through the piston rings and valve train that it continues to run WITHOUT any added fuel. The only way to stop this was to block the air intake. (I have heard the Detroit Diesel 2 strokes were notorious for this.) In...

Subscribed, Thanks for the pics.

I think you are correct that the 3216 is the same engine as the 3116 but with electronic controls. Check what the bell housing number is on the 3216, If it is an SAE #2 any thing that is a SAE # 2 will bolt right up and a SAE#3, will bolt on with an adapter plate. (Which is on the stock A3...

I am NOT speaking from first hand experience with tires of this size; but in passenger car/truck sizes, in our area, they can be "sipped" “syped”--- spelling---?? (LOTS of little groves cut sideways in the tire). Sipping helps tremendously in snow/ice, and is the reason snow tires WORK!! A...

I have heard very good things about these, They LAST for years, however, they don't like to bend when its cold out.. below 32deg F. Sooo, put it over what you want to protect "wood pile?" and let it sit. If the tarp has to be moved during the dead of winter I wouldn't recommend these.

There is a guy In my area who has some of the short fiberglass uprights 5 bucks each(used). However I don't see a website on his card. I didn't see enough of them to do a whole truck. But if you need a few....I could get you a couple next time I'm there and ship at cost. Also I have 2 WELL USED...

"Quick start" brand, From the factory, is the most cost effective I have found, and I searched A LOT. 18.50 per canister, HOWEVER there is a HAZMAT fee for any shipment. 25$ whether you order one or 25. Propane/MAPP is bad because the gas is heavier than air and can settle to the bottom of...

OK, forgive my newb-ness. What I am looking for is a radio system that will cover several bases at once. I have seen "shooting earmuffs" that block loud sounds and amplify quiet sounds. I have seen FRMS "family radios" that are VOX I have seen in cab communications systems - vic1-vic4 I have...

Having built "stuff". I can imagine the amount of time that goes into building one of your EXCELLENT models. Thank you for sharing. I am MOST impressed.

Not sure if you’re saying it ran at 2550-2650 rpm or 2925 rpm. However, IF you ran 2925 RPM…. No offense, but that is 60 hours of runtime, on a power unit designed to run 10-15 THOUSAND hours. We could probably run these engines 60 hours without oil and they would still run great. I have read...

Yup, something is off on you instrumentation. 2700 rpm = ~50 mph on mine. I will be running 2650 rpm from now on. The OP. spent a-lot of time to figure this out and I prefer to believe he is correct. On a further note, how much time is 2 mph going to save us on an average trip? 50 MPH...
