I think it is called "classic vehicle" reg here in CT at this point. But no, the insurance does not need to be historical. However, as long as this is not your primary vehicle, and you have a "regular use vehicle," a classic automobile policy is just fine and will be sufficient for most...
Nobody at the DMV knows anything. You are on your own. I've read the CT laws front to back regarding this. I will comment here, but don't consider me an expert.
My M35a2 is registered here in CT as an antique. Early American, Historical, or Classic, whatever it is called at this point. I...
I don't think you are supposed to run a full load off the convenience outlet. I know you can't do that with my MEP 701A. You have to wire it off of the lugs directly with a junction box of some sort.
If I had to drive my truck everyday, I would surely hate it. As a toy or part time work vehicle it is great and I love it. But a daily driver in traffic on the highway? No thanks, I'll take a modern vehicle any day. A M35a2 is slow, takes 20 minutes to leave the driveway due to warm up and...
I agree with what was stated above. Cracked block or head.
I went through something similar. The truck was consuming antifreeze, and there was very little in the oil. It was all vaporizing out of the breather, and the valve covers were covered in milkshake/sludge. This was after a head...
I have the goodyear MVT's. I mounted them myself by hand on A3 wheels. Other than the weight, I would say it was not overly difficuty, once you know what you are doing. I used the rubber beadlock inserts, so they seat immedietly. The two piece rims are much easier to do than a one piece...
I bought one of the 4" ones from Australia a couple years ago. Same price as filtermax, but the shipping was something like $40, so this US source is much better.
This thread is becoming painful to read, and I feel for WildChild. It is potentially leading to a train wreck conclusion after so much money and time has been dumped into it, and everyone is already giving their 2 cents upon reflection and hindsight, on what should have been down. I see it as...
I've loaded mine a bit over 10k a couple of times. On flat roads, it did just fine. Going up hills was slow goin though, and there are many hills around my house. I end up driving the truck like I hate it, floored everywhere watching the gauges go up and down. I surely wouldn't want to...
What do you mean by bump the starter?
When I referred to it, I meant crossing the two leads on the starter, the two big lugs. This should cause the starter to spin, but the solenoid will not push it forward to engage the flywheel. It will just spin in place.
So are you saying that you...
Pressure tests might need to sit for hours, or overnight, to see the leak down. My truck had a crack somewhere. I had the same sludge and minimal coolant loss. Nearly no coolant in the oil. It would leak down over very long periods of time, days, and also if I did the test when hot after...
Mine does the same thing. Keep in mind I have a brand new motor and a brand new starter on my truck.
I disassembled the solenoid on the starter, and checked on that copper disk multiple times. But it still does it. Sometimes, all I get is a click, and I can hear the solenoid moving forward...
I love this idea. Did you write about this previously? I need to change or fix my blown heater core, and would like to do this shortening mod while I am at it as well.
