An issue I have is being pressured by Ritchie Bros to pick up my vehicle despite having no SF97 nor any clearance being settled yet. I find that unfair. Being pressed for time increase shipping costs for lack of adequate bidding time and they push one to do things the shady way for their bottom...

As for the collectors blocking it, I am not surprised. Organizations of collectors want the special licensing gravy boondoggle belonging fees, aka Chamber of Commerce Occupational Licensing mafia (yes, the thugs who send swat teams because a lady has been braiding hair without a hair dresser...

"no big deal", it was a combination of slow pressure build up (my tanks were partially open) and my knee which had bumped the emergency air push-knob. I suppose eventually I will have to replace it. If no air pressure is there it does not have a positive locking to the back. Spinning it around...

I was gona say. I installed a new strainer with a pipe wrench.

I have a major air leak behind the panel. I will diagnose it further ths weekend as I do not have time right now. I just was doing my 72 Hour maintenance run of the engine and notitced a hiss by the panel when I leaned to check tranny fluid. I did not have enough air built to trace it exactly. I...

I finally got the water pump reimbursed, no thanks to UPS who kept saying I needed to talk to the provider to fill paperwork for them. What utter BS, they break something and they make customer and business duke it out. m&d distributed sent me a new pump and reimbursed me the US PS for shipping...

Still working the release form from the government. It might take “a couple” months. I will check the truck in the meantime.

I was doing an online auction and something froze on my computer and I kept clicking away for that deuce, and it ended up putting me in for an Air Force jet tanker truck... So I won two trucks. I do not know what I am going to do with a tanker truck when I get it, or if it is in good enough...

I was wondering if anybody used that truck track system, ie if it is OK on the tranny and frame what not, Seems like rubber but does not look road legal. Maybe in Canada when it snows…

Yep. I Simply use two 12V lights in series or a 12V light in between the truck and each trailer light, instead of 24V lights. It is cheaper and more reliable too. No need for an expensive converter, ugh, do a bit of circuit math. Each light drops the voltage by 12. The bonus is you can have...

Could be a stuck heater core or the core needing the bleeding valve for air opened (if so equiped). My problem is I always have heat. The fresh air hose going to the blower is also hanging 4 inches above the blower instead of capping as I think it should (?). So I think I get hot engine air in...

I like the waterless idea regarding corrosion, but I want some pressure to keep that head gasket down. I had a bunch of rust so will probably switch to Evans for a while… will see.

Well, it turns out the oil did not come out my hub. The hub area is dry. It came from somewhere else. I think it came from the valve itself. I was doing very tight turns which might have sloshed around severely the diff oil in the rearmost hub. I cleaned the area to confirm if it was the case or...

Basically, for the left side my turn signal works, so, no need to add flashers to make it work. However, for hazards, I still thought I would add some flashers in the system. This time, however, instead of connecting a flasher to the rear lights, I plaid around for kicks and would use instead my...

Right side blinker. So, if I understand, not all grounds seem to be equal. So much so that a current can go through a piece of frame and back into another wire that is connected to a device that has a better ground. It basically would work like a sort of bucket of electrons that sloshes around...

I think part of my problem is that cheap turn signal handle I bought. Probably was made in China. If I push it a bit too far to the left, the lights will not blink and stay on. But right now as it is, after playing with extra flashers at the headlight and rear light sites, it all works, whether...

So my rear blinker bulbs were good, but they started needing some warm up before blinking, especially the right side, and then the right one stopped altogether, and then the left started getting longer warm up period too and a few weeks later went out too, getting this apparent common creeping...

Went and drove in the mountains of North Georgia to pick up new tires. Stuff was epic going up and down hill in rain, fog and hair pin turns Drove about 500 mi. I wish I lived up there. It seems my rear differential vent is not working well. There was some oil leaking out the hubs despite...
