Look's like you snuffed this thread Stump's. Good debate should bring forth good results. Now I hear there are more issues with the DOT lawyer's brand choice. Does this guy drive a toyota? Is it not a "conflict of interest" to show that kind of bias under these circumstances? I would not...

my old engine used to fire right up even at 20 below, the new one is stubborn. This year I have fresh batteries and yesterday in single digit's, I fired it up after reading this forum. I have to give it some throttle and run it on using the starter much like an old airplane, it fires a little at...

Myself I have delved into the political quagmire going back more than 20 years. I alway's come away more dis-heartened than encouraged with every new look into this political system. I lobbied in D.C. I know it's alot of work so credit to you guys for your cause and passion. Not having an...

Yea it could become a problem, if spun the wrong way. Anyone catch the irony that the DOT lawyer used the "Toyota Carolla" as the example that all vehcile's need to comply with so they don't damage them with their tall heavy bumpers. Today it's announced that so many Toyota's are recalled...

This state has been operating in a capacity of Redemption for some time, it's mostly apparent with the DNR "don't make waves" kind of like small town politic's on roid's. Now the DOT has shown that same capacity (showing an obvious grudge) where you could deal with them before. The bigger hobby...

The group needed for an example of how to deal with this issue is A.B.A.T.E A brotherhood against totalitarian enactment's. Listening to that obnoxious testimony it is obvious they think every one needs to be driving a imported sub-compact and anything that is not is threatening to the...

Sorry, I did not get on here in time, had phone issue's........Could not make it with work, but if I would have known about the Kalifornia bill's I may have had to miss. I do not have the numbers I just heard it from a caller on a radio show that there were 2 bills up. This is being done quietly...

California emmissions You folk's may want to stick around for the 11am hour. Weighing even heavier on this hobby and what's left of Wisconsin's economic stability and liberty. There are 2 bill's up trying to adopt California style emmissions standard's for Wisconsin, effectively handing control...

Oil lines I caught mine leaking a few years ago, the replacement's were imported so I am alway's watching them. I considered having some custom made out of hydraulic hose and fitting's. I also considered plugging them off since I am not in a hot climate and those hoses are a very risky venture.

It was mentioned before about driving being a "privledge", sure but your property is also your asset's and equity. Just like the comprehensive land planning we are now having to deal with it strips your equity via putting your property in non-compliance. The people of Oregon were wise enough to...

An update on the Bill's pending in WI. Next week Jan 20th in Madison, public hearing's on Senate Bill 404 and 392 both deal with civilian use of former MV's. I am lucky enough to still be working, so going is a longshot.............I hope some CUCV owner's can make it, this may be the tip of the...

I really want to know what you get for MPG with that set up........I alway's wondered what one of those little big block's could do with a 5 speed and the right gearing in a car or small truck.

Exemption's are made for public service use so that eliminate's that side of it, however many of these employee's fire service, deputies etc. do aspire to get them for thier own use. I am lucky to still be working so it's very remote chance that I can make it. I really do feel this is the first...

Well the one I checked has a 17 digit, and a door sticker, with basic tire info, in the glove box is a more extensive sticker with the vin and option list. In the front of the radiator it has one saying it is emmision exempt but state's it is equipped with an engine that complies with the year...

mvpp label Define that label, the ones I looked at have the standard label on the shroud and air cleaner exactly like my old Silverado. There may be something about exempt, but I cannot determine anything different from normal diesel........I hear an echo of a faint sound, what could it...

Well I had a good news/bad news morning. My State Rep's office called me to inform me that the civilian version of these vehicles were ok and since they were the same as the civilian vesions there was not a problem with them (and they did agree they are actually safer) Wish I would have checked...

Just before reading this I finally got a call from my state Rep's office. According to what they said the standard size Dodge, and Chevy's were not involved in this. Now reading what your saying, this is not the case and they are already putting the boot's to WI dealer's. Are you sure they...

So can anyone give any feedback on this Wisconsin mess, with bill 592. If this include's the civilian conversion trucks it's about banning a paint scheme and nothing else.....If it's safety they have better brake's so that's a bogus excuse.

I scored one years ago from a guy who just got it and did not have it running. It had a 216 Chev and needed a carb, I put an old 1 barrell rochester on it and it fired right up ran like a watch and had major oil pressure. When I tracked down the original owner he said I got it for less than he...

Cucv safety I have not had any official answer's to the concern if the civilian vehicle's are included in this ban, the under 1 ton Chevy CUCV's, Dodge trucks. Anything larger requires expensive insurance. I did get a response from someone on the classic vehicle side of it that felt the DMV...
