[Bad Karma]

Have you tried Hundy yet?

He will see it now

Just wondering as a newbie to the truck rallies. I was at two Camp Dirt Bag rallies a few years back and there were 30+ rigs, even one had an airplane fly over. After that one it died. I never even had the opportunity to buy a tee shirt. What happen to the attendance? Who's in charge of So Cal Rallies? I'd like to see more trucks and tools.

We put you in charge of the So.Cal rallies at that last Camp Dirtbag, so basically it's your fault! j/k Hopefully more will start coming out to the spring and fall rallies and it will grow back to the size of those or bigger. We have plenty of room out there.

Heading up in the morning, hope to see some of you there.

CUCV died yesterday leaving work last night (99% sure it is the starter). After a long week already at work (we delivered a major presentation yesterday) I didn't have the energy in my advanced age to screw with it. I have to pull my spare out of storage and swap them out and then send the burned one to rebuild.

Bottom line is, I'm a no-go.


Brought up a thought that 2 weekends ago I was out in the middle of the desert with only my dog and a long way from civilization. If this thing would have quit on me there........ I think I may get a little better prepared from no on even if I am staying in the "vicinity" of home.

I have someone threatening to bring me a handful of cash, so my departure may be delayed a day........

 

[CARNAC]

Wow, I wish I could come cause I heard you were bringing that to obtain a bunch of seats.

 

[Cycletek]

If another guy shows up that owes me 4 times what the other guy is supposedly bringing, we may still be talking! CARNAC.....

 

[CARNAC]

Dang, how many seats did you want?

 

[100dollarman]

Me and my buddy Mike are coming out for the day---

Btw, can anyone tell me what fluid to use in 900 power steering pump?

My understanding has always been the main diff between motor-oil, ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid), and power-steering fluid in a hydraulic-use situation is "additives". They are all refined from the same petroleum bases; just have different additives for different purposes - like power-steering is supposed to have more anti-foaming properties (when hot), ATF has anti-slip (for the clutches/bands), etc. As long as you've got the right viscosity (looks like 10 in this case?) - any should be usable - just maybe not in as extreme conditions. Just my two-cents.

Ok guys, looks like Me and My Dad will be attending later Saturday afternoon, So I may just take my pickup instead of the M36.

 

[Cycletek]

I am coming up in the morning and staying the night......see you all there!

THX guys- I would think ps fluid or ATF, but the problem I have is--- that the fluid in there now looks/smells/feels/ like motor oil---? Its at the low side of the stick, so I am going to leave it for now.




Ready to go in the am!

I was headed there today and my batteries failed me at the fuel station. So it looks like I'll be there tomorrow.
