Ok good, I've got some stuff to check out tomorrow with Casey.T. I hope it is something simple. I'll let ya know what we find.

First question, Casey.T ol' buddy, how the hell are ya? I'll pm you with my schedule and maybe we can swing a meeting here soon. Secondly, where is the return line located? (I am ignorant, you see) Thirdly, if the lines are shot, would braided SS lines be advisable? Vielen dank meine Freunde.

I don't know when it happened but somewhere along the way I've either punctured my tank or cracked the line or the filler neck. There is a constant and noticeable smell of gas around the truck and if I look underneath I can see what looks like moisture on the "skid plate." I'm pretty sure it is only a slow leak because it doesn't affect my guage very much but it needs to be remedied ASAP. So Spokane folks here's where I need you. Who knows a shop that will fix something like this here in town? Thanks

Very nice. How is it to load. The last Beretta I shot was really hard to load as the mag approached capacity. It was a 9mm though. Looking good. I'm saving for my 1911.

So are you gonna build this motor or just rebuild it?

What do you all like to use to clean up the inside of your baby? I used to be an armorall fan but I read that anything silicone based will actually enhance the destructive power of solar rays on plastic and rubber surfaces. I've read alot of good stuff about various other products around. What are the Pathy preferences?

It did it again today. Its only when the temp drops below freezing. I took it in to the mechanic my Dad and I go to here he couldn't find anything wrong but has a few ideas. If it happens more I'll go see what he says.

I'll go pay those clutch guys a visit with my Yugoslavian friend, yeah, oil checked out ok. and nope its not payed for yet. Between this and the :furious: stereo I want to steer it into a :X tree!!!! I hate cars Where's that damn whiskey

What the crap?!! I tried getting power to the pink leads, nothing. Then I noticed that the black ground wire on the aftermarket harness goes nowhere. I wire in a ground, nothing. And if I have a wire from my battery to the amp leads my parking lights turn on!! WTF? I'm still getting no sound and the "mute" light is flashing on my deck but its not muted. ARRGH!! :furious: The deck has worked fine in the last two vehicles I've had it in.

Well once it spent the night in the garage in Cle Elum it started right up and has been fine since then. I did replace the negative battery cable terminal because it was loose. Now my concern is the fact that the low oil pressure light flickered on while I was driving on I-5 yesterday. It came on at Fife and I pulled over to check the oil and the light hasn't come on since. Lisa's Dad's advice is to sell it.

Haven't gotten to it yet. I've been typing all day. Gotta love last minute final projects. I've been staring at this screen for 3 days straight The end is in sight, however. -bounce-

Well I'll check out that battery tomorrow. I don't have a multimeter though, the damn thing's at home. I'm guessing that's what the problem is. A couple days ago I had *trouble* getting it started but now its totally kaput. I'll try to jump it tomorrow see where it goes from there.

damn this cold weather. Its killed my pathy! :furious: I turn the key and the lights come on and such but no start, it doesn't even crank. WTF? I don't really know what to look for. The antifreeze looked ok and the batt is charged, it seems. Help please :help:

Black with that unfortunate dealer-installed pinstriping. <shakes head>

If that's the case I'll just wait till I go home over Christmas and do it while I put my stereo in.

Hey, I forgot to reply to this. Thanks for the call Casey.T Yes I got her back. My folks' account is 975 bucks lighter but my Pathy drives like new Thanks Mom & Dad I had a heck of a time gettting her started today. The first time it was *click*. I thought oh sh*t, dead battery. The second time it was a soft sound of a small electric motor so I opend the hood (like I could tell if anything was wrong) and tried it again and it fired right up. It has been fine since then. Wierd science. BTW, anyone replaced the bulbs behind the heater controls? Mine is in blackout mode.

I'm glad to see that they're not sitting on your backseat any more. Sounds awesome..except for the $1250 part though.

The way I see it. The dirtier the better. And (as I learned from a former SAS member) if you keep your car dirty its easier to see if anyone's messed with it. 'Course he was worried about the IRA, but still, its a good idea nonetheless.

Since it took the mechanic 2 whole days to fix my clutch I get to pick it up when I get back to Cheney. I hope the $950 he quoted me is accurate. :contract: I just can't wait to see what a difference a new clutch assembly makes. I think its been failing for a while now. Maybe I'm not as good a driver as I thought... Oh well. Snows-a-comin and its time to enjoy the 4X4 again. Don't worry, I'll go easy on her.

Yesterday as I was driving I was having the hardest time shifting into 1st gear. Every other gear was fine but getting into 1st at a stop was rediculous. I had to force the shifter into place. That cannot be good. I'm going to take it somewhere tomorrow to get it looked at. Hey, just in time for the 400 mile trip home :furious:

Holy flirking shnit! That was about the funniest thing I have ever read. I do love the way you dispatched that unholy beast. Hope it all goes together well.

Holy Jees. :eek: Good that nobody was hurt. So where'd you ditch the mechanic's body?

I know of 3-4 more people who want to get out there. none of them drive Pathys but its more people and my buddy Kyle could bring his video camera. Oh yeah a snow run would be cool (pun intended) anybody got a winch??

Haha, damn. Well luckily the lights still work, but if I have trouble reconnecting those wires in the back I may just take you up on it.

Oh Casey, a couple things to add to the damaged list. Both fog lights are cracked now and my nice new license plate was bent *up*..... Oh well. It was a hell of a good time. And chassing that Xterra was damn funny.
