Wow, I was running so fast that I didn't even see her. Good catch T...Mark

Well, it's so hot down there, you have to get that run over quickly, otherwise, you might just become one of those roadkills that the old buzzards love to chomp upon

Was looking for some info on the web and ended up on you tube and found a clip on pre filling filters and how to do it properly if doing so. Will see if my link works.

First I've ever heard NOT to prefill filters or that manufacturers don't recommend it. I'm going to read mine and see.

Not sure I agree but I'm no engineer. I don't understand his logic that new oil poured into the filter outlet contaminates the engine, what about the 3 gallons I pour straight into the crankcase???

Not done anything to my 1st gen other than drive by the shop and look willingly towards her.

Soooo, I'm living vicariously through my M880 (1977 W200). Finally got the 727 torqueflite swapped in over the warmish weekend only to discover that while the tranny was fine, she steered like an overloaded boat. The power steering box mountingplate was broke. So I spent Sunday getting that off, welding it up and reinstalling. All better now.

Are those Blackhead Vultures? Not sure if they are out west but they've moved in here and displace the Turkey Vulture. They are more aggressive and some don't wait for you to be dead. They've been know to attack new born lambs and cows while calving. They'll peck out the eyes and start at the rearend. Not much you can do as they are federally protected.

They are Turkey Vultures, I think. They are pretty common here because of all the dead birds on the beach. They are generally skidish and will fly away if you come close to them on the beach. The migrating birds are all confused. I see all kinds of ducks floating around here, when they should be hundreds of miles to the south right now. The migration of the Monarch butterflies is not arriving to their traditional winter home in the oyamel fir trees of Michoacan and other Mexican states. They don't even make it to AZ anymore. I have only seen 1 in the last several years...Mark

FilDER or filTER??? I dunno why it bothered me every time he said filter.

These are some of the ducks around here, poor guys are lost ...Mark

Had to buckle down and order that mishimoto radiator. My oem just started leaking from somewhere that I cannot pinpoint. The whole front of the fan, under the rad, frame, and everything on the d/s is covered in coolant. I don't have time to get it repaired and I do not trust the auto parts store rads. Since we are moving to Texas in 7 days.

Pricey radiator but it does come with a lifetime guarantee....so can't go wrong with that. And a good choice for replacing it before your move!

NJTman

keep or sell it to another first gen lover. They are made of unobtainium. If you lived nearby, I'd buy it, no questions asked.

Another day of plowing for free for my commercial acct. Nothing to do on the resi jobs. Looking forwards to real snow events

peckens

Having to 2 day ship the thing really jacked the cost up. I will keep the old rad for now. Probably one of the tanks is leaking. I had the rad gone through last year because the core is filled with scale, still is but flows well. I'll bet the antifreeze was pretty acidic before I sent it in.

KRB

Minnesota to Texas? Won't that be a culture and climate shock!

edwinsmith

Just be sure to run 100% antifreeze.

Way to go Edwin, I was going to say the same thing, and I can nearly quote Peckens, I don't know why anyone would run pure antifreeze. But, I chose the high ground,Show a little respect man ...Mark
