    Found this truck today..

    All the tires are 80% plus. If someone wants it I can get more info for them. They said he wants $6k for it. Not in my budget, but I am sure if you have cash it will be neg. Chuck XD Fan

    Found this truck today..

    While out on my route I came across this crane truck and took some pics. It is for sale they told me. I was also told the breaks were shot. It has been tagged and inspected so I guess it has a clear title. Other than the breaks it runs fine. It is amazing how many MV's you come across when you...

    Turbine oil

    It is fairly corrosive, if I remeber correctly. Don't know what it will do to cylinders and such. I know the TM's for the AH-1Z and UH-1Y say to keep it off as much stuff as possible because of those properties.

    Not knowing any better. I had been looking at "inexpensive" 4x4's for deer lease and land management activities and I found GL from another website I am with. I was getting ready to spend $10,000-$12,000 for a used 4x4. So I guess a good running M35 for, let's say, $2000 is not bad and if I dump...

    Freeze plug went into the block

    Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Freeze plug went into the block :funny: I feel your pain. I have had to try to drill out head bolts before and it is no fun. Especially the ones that are easier to get to with the engine out of the truck. I was never any good with freeze plugs. Glad it worked out for...

    What I found today

    It is in very good condition. No major leaks, all the parts are there. Some of the cables look new/unused. It was running when parked, so I was told. Nothing tells me it wasn't. Chuck XD Fan

    What I found today

    The M114 and the Albatross are at a aircraft museum, Pate museum. He has some very rare cars inside, including a very rare Mustang GT500. Very cool place to visit and it is free. All the hatches are welded shut on the tracked vehicles. Chuck XD Fan

    Need item inspection Ft. Worth TX.

    Went by there and the truck is all there. I took a lot of pictures. There are so many trucks there. They told me they keep them there for a year to try to get a city/county to pick them up. If they don't they get auctioned off. There are some very "new" looking trucks down there. Plus, unlike GL...

    Oil Additives...

    I had a Honda CR 500 that I used for road racing and I could run half the recommended fluid level in the trans. with synthetic as opposed to conventional ATF. It was per the engine builder I used. No failures. I wish I could figure out how to post the helmet cam video I shot. 8) :roll: There...
