Today was carburetor day... after bugging everyone I knew, I figured out some stuff... She was in rough shape.... soaking it in the carb cleaner for a few days...

That is my dream MV!

No worries bud. Check your inbox. Gonna send you my number if you have any questions.

Honestly it's just as easy to turn over by hand. Here's a video I made after I pulled my head to check my valves to see which ones are stuck. You should be able to take the fan and spin it in a clockwise direction as you're facing the vehicle...

I went to NAPA and got a kill switch for a D9 bulldozer. I've had it almost 2 years and never had issue. Works like a charm.

Well, seeing this, I'm apparently all wet!

Interesting idea. How would the fenders fare with the weight of another deuce on them? I believe the reason for the soft top, folding windshield etc was for the ability to lower the height of it when needed. I could be all wet too, but that was my understanding for it.

It came with it. He also comes with a guy wire to the base, but to stabilize him for driving I added 2 100# wires to the trailer and the presents at his feet have 20# cinder blocks in them.

This is the pic that was in the local paper today. And again, @IRIS_Always made the concept into a perfectly executed activity!

Well, the truck and Skelvis were a hit at the parade! And I couldn't have done it without @IRIS_Always and my crew! Now we are planning Mardi Gras!

She really is awesome! She also figured out the mohawk, gotee and nose situation! Shes the brains, I'm the brawn!

I've been looking for the 12' skeleton from Home Depot and they're always sold out. For reference, this is how big the honking things are (this is a pic from the net just for scale): An old friend of mine had one and offered it to me for what they paid for it, so I jumped at the chance...

Yeah, that's why I'm chewing on the neutral safety. What I've come up with so far involves normally closed switches and pressure plates around the gear shifter or something connected to the parking brake.

I'm chewing on this and the solutions I've come up with all end up being a PITA to the operator or not feasible. I'm gonna chew on it some more...

Thanks bud!

All- This wasn't meant to start a pre-trip/post trip argument. It was meant as a mental excersize to see if it was POSSIBLE to add a remote start to the truck. Sometimes we do things to our truck because it's cool to do so. Does having a remote start mean you won't pre/post trip it? No...

Not taking it that way at all. For me , I work with robots (electronics, hydraulics and electronically controlled electronics and hydraulics) and it is an excersize in the theory to make it work. I absolutely agree these trucks need to be checked before driving etc. As far as the shut off...

Maybe one day when I don't have so many irons in the fire I'll figure out how to get past the engine stop issue and others without totally re-engineering the ignition system.

I was perusing the forum and saw the remote start for a MEP set for sale and my brain started wondering "Has anyone rigged a remote start up to their truck, and if so, how?"

Can't wait to see what we get this month!
