There is also a lot of double speak that is upsetting... Like GM is talking on how is going to close down most dealer here in America. But how the foreign dealers are doing wonderful in China and other places. They will remain open.. WTF!?!? My dad (Rest his soul - pasted away in 2004) was a 30 year retiree from Van Nuys, Ca. Plant... You can should see how the moved everything to China and going to kepp moving to save there Arse! :mad

Waking the Princess
Well gang...I got into Mom's garage and woke up the sleeping princess. It happens to be a 1977 Dodge Magnum XE with a 318 CID engine 2 BBL Holley carb. Nice to see the old girl wake up from a long slumber in the garage. It got several small issues to deal with like a 1/2 tank of some very sour gasoline, needing all the fluids change and just basic maintenance done. Later on I get the rest of the specs and some pictures of my project... :thumbsup

Cab blower stops working?
I think Russ has a good idea of jumper testing the fan and see ifit holds up for a long period of time. Nope... As far as I know of there is no auto control fans... Boy Russ you must of had fun cleaning out those critters eh??? LOL I think there could be a piece of paper floating around in the vents too. Laying down when off but takes some time to flutter up and stick to a heater core or evaporator??? :confused:

injectors problems
Yeap that another factor that will effect the life of a injector. Being that Bosch suggest fuel that is less than 460 HFRR score. Typical fuel today float around the 500-520 HFRR score. Maybe that why I still use a fuel lubricant like 2 cycle oil... LOL ;)

injectors problems
Now what you save on just buying the tips you'll must likely make up in pop testing and driving around getting it done... They could be... But it depends on how much debris that is escaping the fuel filter and being shoved throught the edge filters at the injectors... Also there is other factors excessive pyrometer heat, debris in the cylinder chamber (bad air filter), mechanical failure (broke part), etc...

Cab blower stops working?
Check your fuse...Check the fan phyiscally for damage...Pull the fan resistor out and check for damage...I've pull a few out now and seen that the fan takes alot of abuse from dust and dirt. The bearing tend to fail blowning the fuse most times. Also If you like most people here the keep jacking fuses into it till it won't hold a fuse. Typically the speed sresistor will burn up from the excessive load from the bad blower motor. The fan and resistor are on the passenger side pointed towards the floor board. Once you pull the blower out you can check for rats nest or debris. I've been lucky and pulled a $1 dollar bill out my buddy's 92 Cummins... LOL That was his whole problem was the 1 dollar bill was blocking part of the evaporator...

low boost
About 2K to 2.5K RPM's you should see MAX Boost. It all based on hold much fuel you can pour in the cylinders. More fueling enhancements the boost that is produced.

E Brake on for 200 mile
That's something that bother me...I see people driving around with a turn signal on knowning they have no idea how fast there going, there turn signal on, or if there is a engine mal-function... :wow

injectors problems
1. Cheap filters. (Cheap no name filters) 2. Not changing the fuel filter as needed. 3. Burning WEO/WMO, ATF, WVO Etc in the fuel without proper processing. If you upgrade to a FASS or AirDog you got the option of upgrading from the stock 10 Micron filters to 2 micron filter like myself. I tend to stick with Fleetguard filters on everything except the Air Filter which is a BHAF.

Remember I'm totally guessing here the best way to verify this is to have the alternator tested and see if the diodes are bad or not. :confused:

injectors problems
I'm not sure but I think the RV275 has a extra hole in the tip giving a better spray pattern in the piston allowing you to get more bang for the buck compared to the stock 235 sticks.

injectors problems
Best bet is a set of RV275 Bosch Injectors. These are 40 HP over stock for power but tend to boost the economy another 2 MPG. Like I said its a mild boost that doesn't require major modifications to add in. Not to mention there rather cheap too. ;)

Rusty spots on brakes
How about debris on the piston causing them to bind up...Let me gather up my notes and I'll explain how to fix it...

Gone and done it....
There is only 2 things to deal with... 1. Get Sale Tax Permit. 2. File for DBA (Doing Business As) name. That's it. Talk to a accountant for more information on your local state and county laws for these permits. As for accounting for the taxes I use good ol' Quickbooks because it accounts for the taxes and has a feature to pay the monthly taxes (sales taxes). Beyond that its doing your job and smiling as you knowning you are your own boss, you set the days you work, how long you work, and where you work... It's totally up you if you going to make it... ;)
