Then that sounds like a personal problem to me.
Not much dust around here. And when it's dusty, it's usually during a drought.

Think it's gonna get better mpg?


Got my pan back on and 4 qts in it. Going to see where that gets me.

Now to figure out the damn trans line...

There you go.
Maybe you should relocate your breathers and put filters on them.

need to put another 50-100km on the truck to find out. with the old carb the gas gauge would not start moving off full until i had gone about 100km's. i am just sitting in the 100km area right now so i should know soon. i know 1 thing for sure and that is gas mileage has not gone down.

Haha... I'm planning on moving to England next year, should be plenty wet over there.

on a more serious note, theres a group building a genuine life size Noah's ark over in Kentucky. Think it'll be cool!

^So, since you'll be in England, you won't be here on DF?


BTW.

this is jibber jabber.




This isn't:

So I've put a total of 6.5 qts in it, had to put it up for the night. I'd had about 5.5 in it to begin with. Everything seemed fine, drove it down the road, seemed to be working. Go to pull away from the stop sign, SLIP THUNK.


****.

Turn into a ladies driveway, reverse works fine..hmmm...*drive* SLIP THUNK.

SH!TTT!!! Nurse it back down to my house, check the dipstick. NOTHING. So I put a full qt in it, at least, I forget. Either way, Imma check it again tomorrow morning sometime to see what it's doing.
