37s

I was saving the 37' MTs for my next build but Thomas finally convinced to to part with them. He recently swapped out his worn unbalance 36" bias-plies for the new(er) balanced Radials. This also cured the steering "DEATHWOBBLE" problem he has been having.

Water pump

As soon as we replace the entire power steering system... the water pump goes out...

more steering issues

After replacing the steering box things just got worse. A power steering leak developed and air was getting in the lines. The leak was coming from the pump, so new everything...

steering box

Thomas didn't like the loose steering so he picked up a new steering box. We ended up replacing the bolts with grade 8 bolts because the others were thrashed.

12 valves everywhere!

My Brother Eli just picked up a 12valve to replace his car that failed to meet the new higher emission standards. The diesel bug is spreading...

farewell

Farewells are usually sad , this one however is bittersweet. I sold my 12valve... sold it to my brother. I miss ole blue but my brother is a good guy and I am glad he has a diesel for his first vehicle.
