This area has no access to natural gas, one of the neighbors has a propane tank, so no pilot lights in this house. I have been thinking about moving the compressor outside and closing the door, it's pretty big but I put it where it is so I can move it. I painted my 520 out in the driveway, I used 2 ...

It appears I am going to have to sand this primer with 400/600 grit, so this is not going to go as fast as I was hoping as I will not sand it in the garage, I believe the garage is clean and it is going to stay clean. After reading the can that has no directions, it also appears I may have to ventil...

Well today I put the truck in the garage at an angle, I put the rear in the air with an air lift/jack, the front is on jack stands. Next I removed the front wheels and completely taped off both fender wells, no over spray is getting in there. Next I completely taped off the inside of the doors on bo...

Thankyou Jacob, Costless has it, I might stop by there and read the label.

So I have been driving the truck in and out of the garage every time I sand on it, I also have been blowing the garage out with the air blower every chance I get, I blow the ceiling, parts shelves with the parts still on them, I blow just about everything, the floor is pretty dust free now, the plan...

Where did you get that chassis saver paint?

All the glass is taped off on the outside, and the door glass is taped off on both the inside and outside. I need to sand the inside of the doors below the window sill on both sides, might as well prime/paint all that this time, I will do the rest of the interior after the outside is done. There is ...

Well I got the front valance assembly sanded and undercoated on the inside, then I mounted it and the fender that I undercoated yesterday.
The cab is getting close to being taped off and primed, I also seam sealed the rain gutters on the cab today.

Well while trying to sand everything I gave up on the front and removed the front fenders, the passenger side rear section was basically glued on like the driver side, but it came off easier, I had to rebuild the lower section on that side also, so I expect that was why it was glued on in that area....

The blue I was talking about I like is in one of the interior photos of the extension, that bluish color on the outside and the dash is another color that was put on with a rattle can I suspect, that paint spider webbed/cracked all over the truck. After I sanded the exterior rear section down to the...

I said"After I finish the top" above, laugh out loud, this truck has lots and lots of dings and a couple big dents that I never really noticed before, I filled the hood dent and I made my own slide hammer, welded it to the middle of the big dent on the rear door pillar, and did my best to pull it ou...

Except for the top starter bolt that was missing between the block and the starter none of the bolts holding the transmission on were looser than a couple turns, but it sure made a lot of noise by the time I got home today, it actually made a noise a couple times a few days ago getting on the freewa...

Well the engine/transmission started making this knocking sound when I shifted gears, and it would seem to be out of balance, if I pushed in the clutch and let it out it would sometimes get back in balance, so this made me think it was the flywheel coming loose. Well it turned out to be the transmis...

I started messing with this again, first off I had to put different plugs in all the holes, #4 hole was missing badly, it was the only one missing, so I changed that plug to a BP5ES from a BPR5EY, that cylinder quit missing, well it started missing on #3 cylinder, it never missed on that cylinder be...

Yep, fairly gutless, that is why I have been dealing with trying to turbocharge my 71hp SD25 engines in my trucks over the years, and have them operate normally without any issues. You are not likely going to soup it up without a turbocharger, so fix it up means???? Them small diesel engines in smal...

So what is the car?
I see it has a diesel engine with a VE type injection pump, it should get good mileage.
Turbocharge it!!!

Fact is I do not remember his name, he is the one that claimed the overnight campers at Canby had drugged him, he even mentioned that fact right there in front of maybe 4 people, Darren, Josh, and a couple others standing there, I cannot remember who he was talking to when he said that, I believe th...

I have no idea if this postimage will work or not, it would not load the image the normal way so I dragged the photo from my photos to the reply field. 0.8 MB DSC00087.JPG Check Error Didn't work I went to Blue Lake today with the truck, most the day was great, then this guy came up to me that I hav...

I completely forgot I had a Postimage acct, I could not remember my password or anything else about it, so I tried signing in under my email address and then asked for a password retrieval, I am in now. Unfortunately I have the same issue, it will not upload images from my computer to the Postimage ...

I just tried editing my post to add a photo, I picked one photo and opened it, I waited over 15 minutes for the status bar to do anything other than what had happened right away(had a sliver of blue in the light gray), nothing happened. Like I said, the issue likely is that I have an outdated browse...
