    Yeah, I only had 1 caged rear brake so I chanced the 30 mile drive, 35 mph with few stops, worked out for me but it was a gamble with high stakes.......

    I have a bid on a truck that's up tomorrow, I'm hopeful but lately prices have been crazy high, last week all the trucks went for under$1-1.5k, but one truck went for $4k!!! I bid on one with no serial number and out it bid on it, I'll have to call that guy from Costa Rica and see if he's...

    Bummer, and that they then say $750 deductible is garbage IMHO!! Ecm, trans? I'm actually looking for a parts truck, hopefully in the next auction, I don't know how the timing would work out but if I got one you'd be free to take the ecm

    OK, yeah, several months ago there was a Australian and i think English guys there, including the 3 guys I've met there, 2 haole and one local kid, everyone at GP has been super cool. Good to know there all at kapolei, makes getting them a lot easier.

    I was wondering about that, mine said pearl but it was out west side. Do all the ones from pearl go out to kapolei? There's a couple of like to buy for parts but not if they stay on base.

    Since we don't have cold weather, but do have lots of humidity and condensation, this is what we call fuel gelling, algea, actually microbes growing in the water and tank walls above the fuel, it's a little more common then anything else here.

    I have no idea on how long your fuel has been in there, but old diesel will gel and even grow alge, that's what I'm talking about, old fuel. It'll clog up all kinds of things, I know the guy that bought 40+trucks, just this last trip, bid on mostly non runners and got the majority running...

    Hopefully it's simple as sender, im really not knowledgeable enough on these motors to guess. The batteries are easy enough, but the oil issue, what should it be at idle?

    It was definently a blessing, he took old starter as core. It was the solenoid that is booked to starter, the one that kicks out the starter gear to engage flex plate. They have a truck to use with a slave cable, if those miles are accurate I'd suspect fuel gelling.

    I'll let you know, but I don't think you want batteries kept there.... I have no proof but I think a yard pirate swapped my starter? Also check out battery bills in mapunapuna, they have reconditioned group 27 batteries for cheap and will test your batteries for cheap if they are good or free...

    Hey Dennis, I was looking at that one also, thought it was weird that it doesn't run but has pics of running dash...... I'm hoping to go out there in the next month, I'll try to take a look at it, the manager is super helpful there. I've been so busy with this shut down I haven't even had...
