2017 Chehalis Valley FE - July 14th, 15th and 16th Well, Aaron is unable to host for this year, so Danielle and I will be hosting at our new house in Winlock, which is about 6.5 miles south of the Napavine parade. This will be an open field event. We will have portable toilets available, and...

I will be hosting this year. This will be a Bring your own, well, everything... kind of deal.

Almost 8 years later and I am still running the heavy stall mats as floor mats. I had, and still have good paint under them. I wouldn't put them down over any surface rust or bad paint though.

$187.50 fee. That is quite a few years of regular registration. I see the scale weight on the trailer must be under 2000 lbs, but I didn't see anything about gross weight on the trailer.

Oh boy, I really like that trailer registration part!

When did the vehicles change to 9 digit vins? BTW Peter, the courthouse DOL has the final say over the State Patrol. That is how we registered the Alley Cat (MuttVee)

We will be there as always

Yeah. the 809 series have the same size studs front and rear. These are available through most larger truck supply houses. Just put the R or L at the end of the part number I listed, and you will find the right ones. I was quoted $3 something each for mine if I buy 60 of them in total.

Or you can just get different lug nuts that fully engage the existing threads. They are made for Alcoa when swapping to super singles that have the thicker aluminum rims.

You know we will be there!

Walt was always good for a story and a joke. He will be missed at the PNW convoys!

Some of the bigger problems with the 'normal' diesel designs are related to atomization of the fuel to burn it efficiently. Our multifuel engine actually bypasses almost all of these issues by using low pressure injection (injectors squirt streams of fuel, not spray a mist of fuel). So the...

I updated my first post with convoy info. Any comments or suggestions are welcome.

Wanted: Need a new J exhaust pipe for the deuce. For Sale: I have some M720 dolly sets (to transport shelters.) Maybe a few trailers from m101 to 35' flat bed for tractor trucks.

Danielle and I will be there. I will have a guest with us for Saturday afternoon until Sunday morning.

Well, for less than a new pair of standard lights I got a set of the H4 lights from Those Military Guys. Fast shipment! They are plastic, not the heavy glass versions that are out there. But they look good, and put out a lot of light for very little money. I still haven't driven it out on the...

I was just going to use a simple Carter pump. It doesn't need to pump it that fast, and if you keep the venting tied together it 'should' work fine just pumping from one tank into the return line of the main tank.

Little late, but I went to a single tank setup with aftermarket filter. I used -12AN fittings and hose the entire way. Now I just need to plumb in a simple transfer pump to move fuel from the secondary tank to the primary.

I am curious as to what mods to the truck you are going to have to do to get it to fit. I know where a really nice 290 is that has low miles on a rebuild with lots of goodies. And this post really might answer a number of my questions. Either way, good luck with the project!

And just how long with they last with all the vibrations on these things?
