    no fuel to injectors

    Re: RE: no fuel to injectors This simple reason is how I got my M109A3 for a song, actually made money from buying it! The shaft on the fuel cutoff was binding. After a second in the drill press with some steel wool polising it up, it's worked flawlessly since 8)

    what do you do with left overs?

    In CA, you're gonna need a junk slip unless you cut it up into small enough pieces that it can't be recognized as anything automotive. My buddy just told me about a new FREE service called junkmycar.com, supposed to be nationwide. I guess you just make an appointment and they come get your car...

    a terrible sight for a man to see

    I can't believe anyone would just ASSume that the MVPA won't care without trying first. Now back to the subject, I've come across this numerous times. About 10 years ago EVERY truck that came up at DRMO Ft. Carson (and a few other bases) had to be demilled. This went on for about 3 months...

    M109A3 General's Field Quarters

    There was a RV place in Colorado Springs, down off Delta Drive, right behind Mobile Pre-mix, that did about a dozen a year for Ft. Cartoon. Place has been closed up for about 10 years now. Was nothing really fancy at all, but they were cozey. I'm in the process of doing my 109 van right now...

    Pre & Post Pyro Placement

    There is absolutely no reason to drop the turbo to drill and tap the manifold. If you're worried about it put some grease on your bit and tap. The shavings will be so small they will just blow right through the volute.

    How much for an m105

    I've seen folks pulling the M105 behind a M1009...not a pretty sight and I gave them plenty of room around me!!!!! M101, not so bad as it sits pretty level, but still a bit heavy for the 1009, especially loaded.
