I too have noticed that Whites usually have the highest rate of holes in the blocks, strictly based on what I have seen on GL over the years. My newest truck does not have a data plate on the engine at all, does anybody know if there are casting numbers that can help identify the manufacturer?
Just for the record, I did not buy my daughter that G ride Escalade power wheels. It was a gift and my daughter already said she wants to paint it like my trucks. Grandma might get a little upset if I paint it too soon so it will have to wait a few more months.
RE: Re: M1009 Advice
I love my M1009. Average around 17mpg with mixed highway, city and offroad. Have a manual glow plug button and no problems. The turning radius in tight parking lots cant be beat, its better than my Volkswagon Golf. Registration, insurance and parts are cheap. Can get 5...
RE: Re: RE: How Much Boost
On my last truck, I had an extra pyromter probe laying around so I installed it in the elbow going into the intake manifold and had it hooked to my Tektronix mutimeter with temperature read out. The air coming out of the turbo was hotter than the coolant temperature...
RE: desert trip recap
I had a great time, Left a day earlier than planned due to sick kids and gale force winds that the wife did'nt want to be in. Next time its gonna be a guys trip for me. I brought a camera with me but didnt get one picture. I can really see my "male pattern baldness"...
I'm pretty much ready to go, just gotta get a little more food and frosty beverages after I get off work. The wife has come down with either a severe case of morning sickness or she has the stomach flu and probably wont be coming so I am only going to be bringing the M1009 :cry: . Will, I...
My experiences with hard starting dueces have been from loose fittings on the injector return lines allowing air to get sucked into the lines as the fuel drains down when the engine is not running. My last truck I just snugged them up a bit and it would fire within 1 second or less of touching...
Woo Hoo! Im working in the rain today to get the duece ready. I am driving my duece and towing my M1009 with the wife driving the motorhome. My buddy is bringing his F350 (he's a future duece owner), so technically thats 4 cars with me. Anybody bringing dogs? My buddy is bringing his 2 and they...
Nice! I think I was climbing around that one last month when I picked up my duece from there. Sorry cant give you any details since I looked at so many trucks that day, I forgot what was what.
I just got in from a weekend trip out in the desert, it was beautiful! I havent heard from Gary, I'll send him a PM. Lunchbox, your more than welcome to come along with me but it might be out of your way coming down the 5 to Santa Clarita then back up the 14 versus shooting straight across the...
I sold my almost new D turbo last summer in perfect condition for right around $100 on Ebay. Ken or Jwaller, do you guys have any modifications for a D turbo to get better air flow?
WOW, I have never seen anything like mudfest before, looks like a dirty good time! Is that the only pic of the duece you got? Doesnt look bad with the axle moved back.
Will, the pics of last trip look great, looks like a perfect spot. My wife offered to drive the motorhome so I can take the duece (as long as nobody minds wives). As far as convoys go, I'll probably shoot up the 14 across Pearblossom highway and meet you guys at the 15 in Victorville. Going down...
Ok, I spoke to Will and we think the best place to go would be Stoddard Wells. I dont know where exactly, I'll leave that up to Will. It will be about the same drive for all of us to get there whether from Thousand Oaks, Temecula or Orange County. I just got back from driving the duece and...
Come on Jerry, Dont you feel the flu coming on (cough, cough, squirt). Gary, Did not have any problems getting my duece on the base, I think I made 4 trips with it there, just make sure you have your current registration, insurance and I.D.. The first weekend in March would be Friday Febuary...
I was begining to think nobody wanted to go, how about the first weekend in March (1st and 2nd). Head out Friday the 29th. Im open for locations, Cal City, Red Rock or wherever you went last time. Will, there is plenty of time to get your truck ready, tell me a day and I'll come down and give...
