Welcome. Born in the south side of Chi-town, moved to Tinley Park for grade school and then moved south for high school (and a handful of years afterwards) in the Metamora/Washington/Eureka/Peoria area.
SW Idaho is now where I park my herd of MV's. Illinois sure is a great place to be FROM.
I chose to use Shell ROTELLA 30 wgt, rated for CS2 (2 stroke diesel compatible). I put a valve on a short pipe nipple to replace the drain plug and extended it down, to avoid the MESS when changing the oil. I forget the filter numbers off-hand. (This is if you decide against the $100 remote...
Careful...WalMart flat black (the cheap stuff) WILL turn into a chalky faded light grey after a year in the sun. Spend the extra $2 per can and buy the better stuff.
Sorry, I'm late checking in on the net today........Yep, Jim's Grunke's stuff. He has pretty well retired and as I understand it, his son is running it now.
I go by there all the time, and the inventory has dwindled considerably. Those photos are not current.
(The highway USED to go by in...
As I understand, those are a strange unique engine. My dad had a mid-60's Jeep Wagoneer with the same engine (only the civlian model) . I was a 20 year old already-learned-all-there-is-to-know-about-engines kid. When he told me it had 7 lobes on the only cam, I thought he was crazy. Impossible...
Check out our club, Idaho Military Vehicle Preservation Association. Call Alex at Idaho Motor Pool. BTW, he's got parts, and I mean parts!
Welcome from Caldwell.
Welcome to SS and fellow Treasure Valley resident.
I just got home from all day Friday at the show. A light drizzle settled the dust-which was good for the car-crushing. I think we are crushing two cars tomorrow. Chase me down (I will more than likely be in the museum) and I will introduce...
Yeah, I've been ferrying my rigs over all week. Actually, my Goat is probably high-centered there-- until I can figure it what broke., On the way over (from Caldwell-20 miles away) something started to whine, loud enough to where I could hear it over the engine! I think it's either the tranny...
S&E has a mere pittance of what they used to have, BUT, they still have (literally) tons more than one would think. If you walk out back and snoop around, and you bring a smart phone with internet (Google) capabilities, you can look up FSN's and NSN's, because a good portion of the stuff they...
Very interesting! I have a gaggle of various military radios, and have now started in on military HT's. I just got a PRC-127.
What is the going price for a -128?
My -127 takes an adapter (evidently called a "clamshell") that uses 9 AA rechargables. Isn't there a similar adapter for a -128?
I've been up for 26 hours, worked darn-near a double shift. and looking at that photo through these tired four eyes, right off the top of my bald head, it appears that is an R442 receiver. And even at the inflated .gov prices, I can't imagine 12 thou for one unit. Actually, not very rare, and...
