    Hard Cold Starting

Its slowly been getting worst and worst, and when I try to start it, I have to keep the pedal to the floor, and she...

    Finally got my WMO pump assembled

    I use the gear off the end of a junk chevy disributer. I punched out the pin, removed the gear, took a 1/2 bit to make the large enough to fit over the motor shaft. Put the pin back in, and pounded the gear onto the end of the shaft, untill the pin stoped it, then the slot on the pump fits in...

    Finally got my WMO pump assembled

    After much procrastination, I got the pump built and dry tested. Havent got to move oil with it yet, that happens in a few hours when I get off work. Basicly I follwed the instructions on how to convert a chevy small block oil pump into a transfer pump, and coupled it to a 1hp washer motor...

    FNG from CA with a M818 on the way need advice

    2010 PNW "Mini" Rally Part 2!

    I wont know what time I get off friday night until they tell me to go home. One of the downsides of working in a bar. I'm normally out the door and rolling before 3:30. If its a really busy night, then it might not be until 4. But Send me a PM with your # and well work something out.

    2010 PNW "Mini" Rally Part 2!

    Dont see why not. But to give ya a heads up, I do have a whistler and I drive with the windows down. I work in downtown portland, so I'm thinking Janzen beach at the Washington - Oregon split on I-5 would be a good meeting spot.

    FNG from CA with a M818 on the way need advice

    395s have a weight rating of 14,000lbs per tire. If the truck was mine that would be the tire size I would go with. Tread design is a toss up, cant really go wrong with the 15.5(XL pattern), the XMLs, or Goodyears.

    2010 PNW "Mini" Rally Part 2!

    Well If I make this one, I plan on heading out of Portland around 0330 or so(depending when I get of work), and driving up to Aarons house to sleep in his driveway again. Then rally up. But since I dont think I could get sat night off, Im going to start to head south at about 1700 at the latest.

    FNG from CA with a M818 on the way need advice

    Im going to assume the trailer is going to be heavy one? If so, 395's (46in tall), or 1400s(49in tall) would be your best bet. I see 1600's( 52s) will tend to rub in tight corners or on some trailers, they also cut into your power pretty bad. From what I've seen, for towing heavy trailers and...
