I've heard that engine will run without the in tank fuel pump operating and can't remember what was said about the things that would happen if it wasn't working. I have also read a lot of articles that Bjorn has posted and put in print. Having worked on cars and trucks with the DC systems for...

I helped build a couple of trucks for a porta-a-can company I worked for years ago and got comfortable with the stick welding and would love to learn the other arts of welding, but without the equipment, it's would hard to become profecient. I like the others suggestion of taking a course if you...

Great work! I'm not moving along as fast as you, but the kids soccer games seem to take up most of my free time and I started at the other end. I'm pushin 22Mos and have half left to go. I wish I could make the time to work as quickly as you did...

RE: brakes Something I've learned is spend time instead of money to diagnose the problem. I worked at a place that had a 3/4t chevy and was eating up brakes. we changed calipers and lines before we finally changed the propotioning valve and that finally fixed it. I'm not a mechanic by trade and...

RE: Linda When I picked up mine, It was within 10m of home and the first time I tried to get it started it was a last minute trip. I checked all of the fluids and then put the batteries from my boat in it and ran them down. On may way out of the GSA lot, one of the guys asked me if I had tried...

I don't remember which issue of MV magazine had Bjorn's article, but he did an awesome job on the grounding system. It was very timely for me because thats where I am now, Mounting the gauges and remounting fenders , light brackets and everything that needs a good ground to operate properly. So...

I think it looks great. I know they were notorious for rollovers and later models had a ROPS, is that an A3? I helped a friend cleanup about twenty of them about 12-13 years ago and they all had a full roll cage. I haven't seen any with this cage and netting since I've been following the MV...

It's hard for me to accuse anyone of anything without proof, as in finding the bb, which would be hard to do. I would hate to start a war with neighbors over a maybe. I know when I was growing up there were neighbors of mine that wished later they hadn't. As an adult, I have also put out a few...

RE: Needle Guns work great I remember seeing one(to work with an air hammer)at harbor freight or somewhere, but that was back in March when I was looking for one, my memory doesn't serve me well any more littlebob

This is the traveling wall at 3/4 scale that goes all over the the country. It last came to Baton Rouge in 2004. I'm sure none of the vehicles were involved in the confict.

If you just want to get in and go a rebuilt would be the way to go. I don't know about Boyce, but for me the joy is in working on it and paying as I go. I'll probably have half that in mine, but a couple of years of sweat in my spare time to see it come to a usable vehicle and something I can...

The best deals always come when I have no cash. Maybe why my Dad always told me if you have the cash you can get the best deals when someone is desperate. I'm sorry You have to unload it and even sorrier I didn't heed my Fathers advice. Hopefully I can use this example to sell my kids on the...
