She stepped up and stepped out!
Met some friends.
Took some glamor shots...
And had a great time hanging out!
All in all a pretty awesome day!
She's burning a little oil, so a ring job is next.....
All-
My horn worked intermittently, then quit altogether. Today I took some time and started troubleshooting. Removed the horn, connected it directly to the batteries, it worked fine.
Checked to see if I was getting a good ground at the horn via the wiring harness and I wasn't.
Going on...
My horn has quit working and I know the issue is in the "ring" on my steering wheel.
My issue is I'm scared to death to pull the horn button off without some kind of direction as I know I'll end up breaking it beyond repair.
Does anyone have either directions for fixing the ground or can...
Ok gents-
I've tried and tried, but I cannot seem to get the sag out of my driver's door.
I've adjusted the hinges (I have found they move them in and out)
The doors themselves
And in the process got the gap too tight (Note the chipped paint)
I cannot seem to get the gap correct and...
Ok all-
Here's where I am:
I rebuilt the T230 Tornado, no oil pressure on the electric oil pressure gauge, so I put a manual testing gauge on and still no pressure.
I pulled the oil pump and made sure it's primed, still no pressure on the gauge.
I pulled the quick disconnect off of the...
Ok all- going to be changing an oil pump when I get in. Looking at the TM it seems pretty cut and dry- remove the 3 retaining nuts, pull it out, replace the gasket and reseat the new one. Any heads up or words of wisdom?
All,
Not to knock the MVPA, as their focus is on restoring our vehicles to "issued" status.
My vehicles are anything but.....
Is there a MVCC located in our area? If not, how much interest would there be?
Mainly Louisiana specific at this time, but I think it would be a great way for...
@Soupermike invited me to a car show in New Roads, LA, and this being my last weekend home, I was eagerly looking forward to it.
Friday night, Bertha was fueled and loaded and ready to go:
Jak and I hit the road early, and as usual, he was on point with his navigation skills:
We got...
Guys-
I had the issue where my Purge valve was sticking open. Followed some advice and lubed it to no avail. It turns out the O-ring inside had disintegrated, so I had to rebuild.
No one was able to find the TM section for rebuilding the Purge valve on the dryer, so I figured I'd be the lab...
Ok all,
My pop off valve (when you build pressure it pops off) is sticking in the half open position after I build air, bleeding it slowly down.
I had this issue once before and for a temporary fix I followed the advice of @fuzzytoaster and used an extension and hammer to whack it back into...
When I first put the soft top on my M715, I thought "Lord, that frame bow hill is the ugliest thing I've ever seen!"
I was researching hard tops for it recently (just wandering across the web, no intent to change it any time soon" and came across the hard top offered by Boyce, and my first...
Every year at a local National Cemetery, Wreaths Across America puts wreaths on the veterans Graves.
Today was wreath retirement. My kid and I were there, and between all of the volunteers who showed up, we recoverd 2,300 wreaths in about 30 minutes.
After filling up two dump trailers, there...
For those of us who have a cargo cover, when we try to tie it down we have noticed the "upside down" hook:
I started investigating under the truck between the cab and the bed and inside the frame rail is this hook:
I ran the rope around the inner hook, then tied it down to the outer hook...
All-
A FB friend sent me some found pics and was trying to figure out the Era.
They are definitely Marine Corps pics, and if I had to guess, I would say from Korea in the 50s.
Here's an old deuce, but for the life of me I cannot figure out which one, so I thought I'd throw it out.
And...
Lots of Corvettes, custom trucks etc.
And here I was with the thicc girl and my boy...
And I'll be danged if she didn't win 1st Place Best Truck!
My kid in full costume being awesome...
And everyone wanted to see the light kit in action..
