  1. If you're paying him by the hour anything you can do yourself to save him time is money you keep your pocket. Plus it will help you bond with the the new truck. I learned more about mine by tearing things apart that I could learn from the repair manual.

     

    Same here. I've always learned more with my hands than by reading books and manuals.

  2. HA! My second car was a manual Geo Metro. I'll never forget the "added power" I had by replacing the stock plugs with the "split fire" version of whatever brand was pushing them. I actually left my friend with the dreaded Pulsar in the dust. He bitched and moaned about seeing the puff of smoke come out of my exhaust when I floored it. Talk about a mouse race! :rofl:

  3. At this point, I'd check for spark and fuel pressure (or "at the rail" .. like you stated). After that, I'd check for compression between the cylinders for a head gasket failure. Then again, come to think of it, hopefully the engine didn't overheat and warp the aluminum head if there is a compression failure.

  4. Nice to hear from you again! I picked up a '76 CJ5 back in July and use it as my toy now. I have found that I have more fun riding around town with the windshield down than I do off roading with it. I do get a lot of waves from other Jeepers.

     

    So .. no "hate" from me or my beloved R50. :)

  5. I can drive about six miles from my house and take a pic of a powder baby blue Mustang II that has some crazy wide rear wheels on it. The guy was driving it about two or so years ago. It is now a yard ornament highlighted with weeds around it. :lol:
