I will be in an isolated area... the only things around are trees and horses. But I like your way of thinking. I can weld on some padlocks on doors and tool boxes. And short of booby traps, I am not sure how to keep people away with out harming them.
My daughter will not visit me here. She...
That sounds great! I will PM you.
Guys, maybe I focused too much on my story rather than wanting to live in my deuce.
In two months I will start recieving the $1076 housing allowance from the GI bill.
In three months I get to change my health care plan from the horrendeous ripoff it is now...
So life is getting rough. Financially, anyways. And I am going to use that to do something I have always wanted to do... live on the land.
Background:
Got out of the Navy about 10 months ago. Got a **** good job, but I have too much debt and now I am between a rock and a hard spot. I have...
A huge thanks to Warthog (Joe) for the water pump!
As some of you may know, I've had a real btch of a time with leaking coolant. I replaced the lower radiator hose, and checked virtually every hose, fitting and anything that carried coolant. I initially thought it was the water pump leaking...
Just got back to the house. The leak is now a gusher. I didn't make it out of my brothers apartments. Its gotta be some serious broken metal somewhere. Sorry guys. Maybe she'll be up for the next one.
Awesome will be there.

Looks like I will be there. Still have a coolant leak... Looks like something is cracked cause it's not coming from the pump or hoses. It's only about a drop per second. I added 3 bottles of barrs... Should make it. Driving from norman to Edmond in a bit... Will be heading out from Edmond in the...
My brother and I just got the deuce fired up after repairing the water pump. The initial fire up has begun. Waiting to reach temp.
Reached temp, still leaking coolant like mad. Have added 3 bottles of Barrs stop leak. We got it up to temp, drove it around, and now were letting it cool back down...
You mean coming out of the bolt hole? or the water pump weep hole?
I sure hope the housing isnt cracked... I wonder if its alum or steel...weldable? JB Weld if that were the case?
Got it running yesterday.... STILL LEAKING FROM TEH SAME SPOT.
Its not the hose... obviously. but the old one was junk...
It looks like the water pump was RTV'd on, and looks like the coolant is coming from the lowest bolt on the pump.... I am hoping I wasnt right initally about the pump! I...
