I've learned that thing about Karma being unkind lesson plus, when you point a finger at someone or something, there's three fingers pointing back....

My AirDogII 165 is set to the lowest delivered pressure and the Auto Meter gauge rarely drops to less than 10psi pre IP (like 12"). The FFM was removed when I installed the AirDog. Winter temps here in Salt Lake aren't severe enough to warrant the heater function. Caspar/Laramie WY is a whole...

Follow up work from the recent half-shaft / lower shock mount issue from last week. Took the incorrect replacement half-shaft the Omak WA O’Reilly’s sold me back to my local store. They requested the correct one from another store and when I went back to pick it up, it hadn’t been delivered and...

I’ve had optic sensor issues a couple of times. Most recently was a couple years ago on my newly remanufactured IP. The truck ran ok but, the internal seal failed and was allowing diesel to blow through the connector and into the wild. Apparently, the original sensor supplier isn’t making them...

I popped that code the other day. It launched the Service Engine Soon light but, self cleared. I checked codes and wrote it down and will see if it comes up again. It’s been over three weeks now and no instances. Normally I fill at Sinclair stations so I chalked it up to fuel as I had filled...

I’m happy to report that the front end rattle is gone…. Truck is loaded up for the return trip. Heading home in the morning. I’ve got two engines I’ll be dropping off to other race teams on the way home. One is another VW for a fellow Gia driver. The other is an inline Ford unit going to a...

Not exactly a “feel good” event.

We’re good. Not Chris’ first rodeo.

Yes, dual Webers and not replicas. No turbo different class

Remember children, Karma is a Mother &*(@#$%^

Visiting Bill H in WA and helping Chris Mursik, my Land Speed racing team owner, prep his Karman Gia for Bonneville. It holds 16 records with various motors to include 1/2 VW (2 pistons removed). This week we’re kinda playing musical chairs with engines and such. Pull a front end and...

Have had hood release issues that have gotten worse over the last year so addressed that issue along with a few other things behind the grille as well as the grille itself. Since I have the truck in a kinda of hold status for an eventual paint job, the lower valance over the bumper that holds...

Used the truck for a Photo Prop. Stockman Hill Dr, Northern edge of Kingman city limits.

While heading to AZ last week the A/C started blowing just cooler than outside air. Checked before adding any 134 and the pressure gauge was pegged RED. We bled off a lot of pressure and brought it back up into the safe zone. Blows cold now, not just cooler than scorching. Currently at El Mirage...

Welcome to the site, good luck, enjoy the project and above all else, have fun. Budget has everything to do with a project. Some members here are really good about suggesting courses of action that they don't have to pay for. My guess is that ak diesel driver just desired to keep things real...
