758 miles in a day and a half, from Salt Lake City (where I bought the truck) to Portland. I drove an untested, untagged truck 758 miles through an Idaho ice storm without a hitch. Pure luck, actually, since the brake MS went soon after.
Nice. I run an R-390a and hands down it is the best rx I've ever run. I run a folded 80m dipole into the balance connector and can easily get the entire pac rim, africa and russia as well as canada, mexico. Europe is a once and then occurance, but that's more the antenna than anything.
For ssb...
I was in a 76 Ford when the passenger side wheel sheered off because we didn't re-torque the nuts on an aluminum rim after doing a brake job. 55 miles an hour on a country road and the rear went *THUMP*, sparks flew out the back and we slid for about 100 yards before the driver was able to...
I've been annoyed at my lack of operational tailgate. The tailgate is a rusted, rubberless hunk of crud and me + welding is just a generally bad idea. So I popped off to the junkyards to go see if I can find a new tailgate that works.
First yard I hit actually makes you *pay* to go in. 2 bucks...
A few months ago I cracked mine right at the manifold. I ignored it and drove with the windows down until it finally dropped off while going through downtown pdx.
Got a custom bent one thrown on and you notice the little bit of extra umph. Not alot, but enough that my 1009, loaded with tools...

b. There is obviously no way 100 lbs of batteries couldn't cause the lean, but, I figured being polite to the slow kid wouldn't cause any harm.
Hi All,
I've tried looking for this but no hits on "lopsided olive green beast) came up in search ;)
For some reason my passenger side is about an inch or so lower than my drivers. Doesn't seem to effect anything, but it's always been like this. I replaced all the shocks, still the same. The...
There is a screw in the middle of the vacuum port of the transmission modulator. I pulled mine almost all the way out.
Also the vacuum valve on my truck was bad. It's fairly easy to check. Take it off and trist the orange connector that hooks up to the throttle body. Blow into it. If it doesn't...
If you have good batteries? 100%. I've been driving on the drivers side alt for the past week with the passenger's side pretty much dead. (waiting for a rebuild kit for the passengers side alt.). Look up the slew of alternator posts. They explain the system much better than I could.
Made General last year. I'm working on getting my icom 706mkIIg into my m1009. I'm hiding it in a gutted RT-442 mounted in the back (barely fits) and running it via an analog controller I'm building to mount up front and talk CI-V to it (as well as run the MX6707 tuner). Code for the display is...
