    California registration

    Speedy vehicle registration in Lake Elsinore did my "on site" vin verification and helped me title my M35A2. It's been a few years but they were great to work with.

    8V92 Coughs but Won't Start (SOLVED!)

    When you switch the engine off it activates a cylinder that shuts fuel off to the infectors. it’s on top of the motor by the box that houses the two rods that roll the racks. See that it opens and Closes when you switch on and off with the start switch. It could be a simple linkage fell off.

    MV (was) broken down in Fernley NV. (Help no longer needed).

    My friend Tracer was heading to Plymouth CA for the big MV swap meet. His M105 trailer has a flat. He can’t get the logs loose and the Loves tire shop won’t touch a slit ring rim. Anyone near there? please call me ASAP so I can give you more info. 916-809-2969

    ISO: M977 HEMTT crane seal kit or TM for crane
