I know its a little early, but I'm anxious to get the forum fixes installed so I'll be refreshing the forum early Sunday morning. It will be #32.
I think I know what went wrong on the previous attempt, so I'm going to give it another try. The biggest thing to be fixed is the annoying problem of replies being put in the wrong place.
Just an update on Johnny Burrito - You might have heard that Johnny was going out west to drive home his PW bus back to North Carolina. I got this note from Dave Butler at Vintage Power Wagons
"John spent 5 days broken down in Murdo S.D., with first a water
pump and then blown head gasket, which turned out to be a warped head
and the wrong head for the engine. On the way in here, his e-brake drum
and yoke fell off somewhere on the highway, how he kept grease in
the t-case blows my mind. I guess he leads a charmed life. We'll do some
work on his charging system and also put his drive shafts back in
phase too which will most likely help him with the next 1,000 miles.
Believe its about a 2700 mile run for him."
Good luck on the rest of the trip John!
And for anyone looking for a WM300 Power Wagon - Dave Butler at Vintage Power Wagons is bringing in 33 trucks from Europe, 21 have already arrived. I just went out to the VPW web site. I hadn't been there in a while 'cause I haven't needed any parts. If you haven't been there in a while take a look, the site is looking good with the parts and prices listed out. Nice job!
