    Mental Health Issues

    It does happen. Its all the built up feelings of rage and worry and a hundred others. I once took a snow shovel to the side of my garage and cracked off all the siding. You need to find an outlet for these feelings. Bottling them up so as not to upset anyone, does way more harm then good.We all...

    Insulation

    Yeah its roughly about $20 dollars each week to fill the tank. I also keep 100lbs of propane in reserve for storms and such. Interestingly enough, we got about 35cm of snow here this week and although the temps haven,t warmed up (-20 to -25) it feels warmer. I suppose its because of the...

    Mechanical Issues,

    Hey man, sometimes the fill tube o-ring is leaking on transmissions and it looks like a pan leak. Check that first. <img src="/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif" border="0" align="absmiddle"> good luck.

    Haha joey. You know what, your totally right. If it wasn,t for school this year i would be at RTR. Another thing that makes it a pain is the damn border crossing. I should get off my ass and get a passport. My uncle goes every winter and stays until 1st of may too Arizona (Blm) land i think.

    Enjoying Debt?

    Generally speaking.... a vehicle is the worst investment of all time. The thing is worth 15% less as soon as it leaves the parking lot. I buy junkers and fix em up. But i realize not everyone is a mechanic, but that being said how much of those huge payments is just vanity and how much is actual...

    My heart is breaking

    Its such a heartbreaking painful thing to have to deal with. It almost makes you not want to love them so much, because of the pain of loosing them. But i guess its the bad part that goes along with all the good. The years of faithfulness, love, loyalty, fun you get with your animal (Or hope you...

    Motorhome

    1980-1985 ford E350 with either a 7.5l v8 with a c-6 or 351 windsor with a c-6. They are built like tanks and everything on the whole rig is built overboard on quality. Yes the gas mileage sucks, but who cares, its an RV. Just my opinion.

    Mechanical Issues,

    Sounds like the pump. It could be a blockage tho, check that fuel filter in the carb body, ive had them full of crud before and she won,t run. Also check to see if their is a fuse for the pump somewhere?
