Four worn out 1 hp Tecumpsehs.

Converter on mine's got two 2" inlets, one 2 1/2" outlet, off brand turbo muffler and exits behind the left rear tire. Thought about adding a second 2 1/2" tailpipe on mine too. Got a couple glasspacks in my stash of stuff, and two more turbos.
Now that the top's cut off I can run 'em out in front of the back tires. Was told the Ramcharger was considered a station wagon,had to exit out the back. LOAD OF COMMUNIST CRAP. The "state" knows what's best for you. Chaps my *** to even worry about emmisions crap on a 20+ yr old truck.

I`m need to dress the welds on mine so they won`t be obvious, but then I`m going to leave it out in the rain and dirt for a few days so it will rust. I want it to look old so I can call it original. And the place I have mine inspected passes my 96 with a slight tick from the joint between the manifold and "Y" pipe. I like trying to see what kind of bull I can get away with.

And do you have any suggestions why my battery drains every couple of weeks? I have to start diagnosing that.

And a Tecumseh is an insult! I hate those things, never run right. Except the one on our generator. Bought it after hurricane Rita. Took it out of the box, ran it non-stop for the next 13 days. We would stop it every 2 days, change the oil, then start it back up.

And it`s not my fault your truck sucks. Do what I do now, blame it all on Obama. I`ll give you a fighting chance, I`ll run my truck with 1/2 the needed fuel pressure.

How are you gonna cut fuel pressure on a gravity fed Tecumseh? Better pour some of Granny Clampet's "tonic" in it.

Hook a test light in between the pos cable and the battery post. If you have a light start pullin' fuses, then disconnecting various gizmos until the light goes out to pinpoint the circuit. My '84 drains the battery if it sits. Fine if I drive it regularly. Haven't driven it in over a year now. Sits in the garage. I got the DT's for some 440 fun.

I don`t know if I even have a test light anymore. I do have a spare bulb and some wire though. That`s The way mine is, if I run it a few times a week, it seems to stay charged. But if it sits, it dies. And you need to crank that 440 up. It`s ashame to see a rod like that sit.

And my truck hasn`t been gravity fed since I got a fuel pump for it. I bet I could have dragged yo truck even at that.

Speakin' of gravity, you could drasticly improve the looks/performance of your truck with one simple modification. Shove it off a cliff.

That`s cold blooded. You just wait until I find where that dead short in my wiring is. Then I`m going to show you what that hacked up turd of yours isn`t capable of. You better add some I-beam steel to your frame. You`re going to need the extra strength.

It's what's IN your truck's shorts is what's dead. Get a couple BBs and some pink thread, make you some TruckNutz to hang on the back.

I think trucknutz look stupid. And there`s something disturbing about this conversation, just so you know. If you hung a pair on your truck, the bumper would probably drag the ground. You`re just jealous because I have a real man`s truck. Comparing my truck to yours is like Comparing Bigfoot to a mythical gnome. And I think we all know who the gnome is (YOU!).

Well, my native Smackahoe people know me as "Big Chief Nutzhanglo". And that`s probably because that bull thinks your truck is just a big cow. Don`t park it in a field, you`ll have to wash it for a week to get all of the signs of bovine phycical pursuits off it, if you know what I mean.
