    Vehicle Scrappage Program

    What an idiotic idea. Low-income people can turn in the 4 or 5 broken-down hoopties in their back yard and go buy some liquor with the paltry sum given them.. If I owned a junkyard, I'd be looking for all those titles about now.. There'll be some scamming in the works. How much money are...

    OD iron rim?

    This is weird, I never noticed an anti-ODIron crowd. Maybe there isn't one. If there is, or if there are other anti-xyz crowds, I am happy not to have noticed it. I want a set of the wheels so I can run the taller tires to lower the RPMs on the super slab. maybe some day.

    Possible VIRUS on PM's ALERT

    Someone could be nominated as infosec officer to use the IP address to find the internet account that this mess came from and notify the ISP. They usually do investigate. If it's a single user, the acct can be terminated. :twisted: If it's corporate or something like a public library, they'd be...

    Need M1031 generator wiring help!

    I don't have the diagram, but the nameplate of the generator itself could give a hint as to another way to search.

    Cold Start Switch on lower left dash

    The flame heater nozzle on my truck was leaking fuel wnenever the engine was running. This caused the flame heater not to work because it didn't spray right. The spark plug was wet, but it would never ignite the fuel. Need a new nozzle? The old coil was also bad. I replaced the coil, and get a...

    New Guy with Questions

    looks OK. The body's good for camping and you know you can put a waterbed in there for the many women that will be instantly attracted to you now that you are the owner of such a fine piece of equipment. I'm sure those gals are out there somewhere, cause they sure are not around here! Sometimes...

    Cold tires and cold roads and a rumbling ride

    I do have "18 wheeler" radials in the front. The rears are all stock, and not too old, only about 4 years. Due to slow traffic, they may never have warmed up during the 22 mile trip each way. I was doing 10-30 most of the time. There was not very much ice, mostly the bridges which I avoided...

    Crushing a Car with a Deuce.

    corvairs are rare. a sin to destroy one. They are prime candidates also for a caddy eldorado powerplant and transaxle.. post the mercedes crushing, I don't like mercedes. lot of snotty people drive them here and think they own the road. But the worst thing is I can hear his RPM is overspeed...

    Cold tires and cold roads and a rumbling ride

    Drove the beast to work today, temp was 20-30 degrees. Aside from ice on the road it was OK, took a while to start. A 12x18" sheet of 1/16" neoprene on the grille helped the temp get up to 160-180 and stay there. So, as the speed increased, there was more and more of a rumbling feel in the...

    EM pulse and the deuce, will it survive?

    Even if the alternator diodes and regulator go out, you should be able to salvage some diodes from something else, and either repair the regulator with scavenged parts or use a rheostat in series with the field to adjust it. 'Twas done so in ancient times before regulators, and a man watched the...

    Top speed / tire size

    I had a shop guy at Memphis tell me he drove the stock 5-tons 70MPH all day. That would have been a mistake. I guess he didn't do it long enough to throw a rod, but I would not want the truck it was done in.

    3 KW gen set runs non-stop

    IIRC you have to do some internal rewiring and add a switch position if you wish to retain factory operation and still have 120-0-120 house power. a long long time ago in an SS board far away I posted the diagrams for doing the wiring part of this, I think. also depended on the model.

    Just a little ticked off.....

    all my stuff transferred over, but there were things to fill out.. I did not imagine a username could have been lost. Have you discussed the username issue with the person that registered with your long time user name?
