    Mines' a 1999, so just over 25 years. I believe my wife is in touch with our agency, Farm Bureau. They weren't opposed to it, but needed more info and the title/tags. Now that we have that, hopefully it'll be good to go. I'll keep you updated on rates.

    help with run flat tool

    I just recently purchased a tool on FleaBay, it arrived two nights ago and I have been having a night mare of a time. The force of the large sprocket has pushed against the worm gear and then forced the side bracket out, allowing the wormgear and sprocket to jump a tooth, halfway into using it...

    I went to the County Treasurer and just under 10 minutes had my plates and the title request filled out. The nice lady behind the counter said I should get it within 4 to 6 weeks. Not a problem at all. I love the rural setting and how helpful city employees still are. Plus, South Dakota is...

    Funniest thing, I got home from work yesterday evening and the damn thing was in the mailbox, delivered by Fed EX.... So, off to the DMV this afternoon. Hopefully it won't be much of an issue getting a title and plates. Yeah, the tracker isn't working, and wait times depend much on the...

    Hey all, I've been sitting on my M1123 from Yermo for quote some time now (purchased 3/20/24, released 4/26/24,picked up 5/07/24). It will be 2 months right after the holiday weekend since it was picked up, and yet the GP site still reads no update. What gets me a bit worried is that the 'Sent...

    Nightmare for a noob…….

    That is probably the best solution. I get the vent line is supposed to take care of pressure differences, but what if you wanted to keep some sort of control measure to see if it is pushing fuel out and the failed pump isn't showing other clear signs of failure? A puddle of diesel somewhere or...

    Nightmare for a noob…….

    Would you say it would be worth disconnecting that vent from the system and routing it to the side to avoid all the calamity? The thought of running all the components gives me nightmares...

    Lug Nuts M1123

    I just got my front wheels done. I tried to reuse some of the less distorted nuts. Even the best ones were somewhat tight to get on. I think 2 of the 16 I was able to run all the way down with more force than I like. Then I got the brand new ones. Man, absolutely zero resistance, just like they...

    Gasket makers

    I am now digging into the steering control arm as a leak developed. I found the mounting bolts were not as tightly installed as it should be (65 ft lbs), so I need to redo the driver side. Looking into the gasket stuff, I found some VERY educational videos from Permatex, explaining almost every...

    Lug Nuts M1123

    Hey all, I am finally getting to reinstall the front wheels, and the TM reads to run the lug nuts on all the way with finger strength. Well, with the lug nuts I removed, this will be an impossible task. I can't even get 5 of 8 on with a ratchet or the impact wrench. Looking at the cone end of...

    Not far from Hill City, in Whitewood. Between Sturgis (the motorcycle rally capital of the world!!!) and Spearfish. I see your location is Burgkundstadt? I grew up in Stuttgart, and met my wife and lived in Ansbach for about 9 years, not that far from where you are. Funny.

    Yea, thanks for the encouragement... But, it happened to Mogman. That stings a bit. The Mog has been there for me many a times....

    Hell yea, I didn't even think of that option. Thanks @Mrgior31513 I did remove the link. Again, to all who may have followed my advice, please refrain in the future... :sick:

    Simple actually, if you put them in the wash and then into the dryer on high temperature for about 45 minutes, the shrink ratio is exactly 49.74%, (the rest is negligible you may have to fill the rest in with RTV). :cool::unsure::rolleyes: Just kidding, aaaagggghhhhh!!!!!!! I did an Ebay...

    M1123 A2 Power Steering return line blowing off

    Take a look if it is near the steering arms/pitman arms, so when you steer it could pull it off. Do you have a hose clamp on it? Pictures could help us help you diagnose...

    Gasket makers

    You're right, they are all available online, even free shipping to the house, but here in these neck of the woods, I couldn't find ANY anaerobic readily available in store. The not curing inside the tube is definitely a positive aspect!
