Re: Question, paint color

Wayne, good luck in trying to match your paint color.
I have tried loads of places in the UK and none of them managed to match mine, Even using special color matching computers. :roll:

Good point Gary, I do have a cab heater so the hotter temp should be better, thanks.

Charles, why should I get a 180 instead of a 165 that came off the truck?
Does it help warm up the engine quicker or is there more to it?


Thanks

Thermostat setting

Should the thermostat be slightly open when cold or should it form a tight seal?
As you can see here my one is open a little bit.
Thanks

Re: FUEL DELIVERY

I agree with Charles. I had similar problems where my truck would run fine, but when switched off, would not start again. I had an electric fuel pump mounted on the inner fender beside the engine which I think was getting vapour locked and was trying to pull instead of push so I bought a new Facet p...

Re: My Son, Lee Carter Davidson Jr.

Dear Carter and Family

I am extremely saddened by the loss of your son. I have a 3 year old son and can not imagine losing him.
Words alone can not express my sadness for you at this time but you will be in my thoughts.

My deepest sympathy,
