I'm going to call the plot twist to this whole tale already. 14 completes the work on Sims's truck and makes it to Florida where a non running BiTurbo appears. 14 gets it running drives non stop from the east coast back to the PNW in it. The ACVW Fastback that Sims found in the field is the Macguffin of the plot where 14 decides whether to go back to the beginning or press on and abandon the past forever. Requiem Jeep ends in the Smithsonian for some reason or with Kastein for the sequel or spinoff television show. Credits roll..

ExplodingSims posted:Sounds like he's doing alright. The van we took up here seemed like it got slightly worse milage than he's getting. According to this, he should be about an hour out. Did anyone ever get the address/rendezvous point info to Dave? BTW, Everdave and angryrobots are the unsung heroes of the last few pages. You guys are our Houston.

I think the WXGA+ panels for the D620 will go into a 630. I have a NIB one from Dell I'd donate.

..and now he has a serial port to do basic OBDII with the world. He'll end up traveling the land and helping people spend $10, rather than $1000 on their cars.

Whatever we send I will spring for a new inverter if he doesn't have one because it sounds like his plan is to live out of the Jeep while at truck site

Still trying to get together turn by turn directly to the truck/Sims. The address 14" was forwarded does not come up in Google maps, not even the road. Have been trying to cross reference with little success, but I think the road was recently re-named. Sims doesn't have pm's...I don't want to post up someone's private address but the jeep is actively trying to die and Dave needs to know where to go.

Rhyno posted:Someone highlight his path on a map so we can get some perspective. He is currently in Kadoka SD getting fuel, and will travel east on 90 to exit 192 in Murdo, then HWY 83 S straight to Valentine. The exact location of the truck (or wherever he's supposed to go) in Valentine is the problem. ExplodingSims posted:I'll text Dave again, but I gave hime.

Dave as a once-pro, now-weird mechanic should know Seafoam isn't gonna fix a bitch that runs too rich. I hope he poured it in the tank and unstuck an injector. Those things have PCV? I feel like at this point the right answer would be to just remove the valve altogether and run a breather if he can.

Why the gently caress is he wasting money on seafoam? It's not going to fix the BERRRRN. He's smarter than his Firestone training, dammit. E: o hai SSS

Seafoam to loosen up some of the schmoo in the cylinders may not have been the worst idea given how much oil that turd is sucking down. Also, the miss is quite possibly a fouled plug from the poo poo tons of carbon buildup due to the burnt oil.

Coordinates received, turn by turn and screen shot map(s) forwarded to 14". ....I don't know about the seafoam either. No explanation with the picture so I'm giving benefit of the doubt on that right now. Just received: 14 INCH posted:mistook ditch for driveway caught air landed flat jeep unharmed in murdo

MrKatharsis posted:spark plug checks should be as regular as fill ups by this point. Back in high school one of my friends used to ride his enduro bike around the irrigation roads before we got our driver's licenses... he had to carry a little brush and a couple spare plugs at all times because it would foul a plug pretty much every time he started it. He'd just unscrew it and scrub it a bit, then be on his way.

I cant imagine being able to do spark-plugs very easily on a hot 4.0l edit; actually doesnt seem that bad now that i think about how the intake/exhaust are setup. stone soup fucked around with this message at 04:18 on Nov 2, 2016 |

There out in the open and can be reached with just a 5/8 and a ratchet. Dunno which jeep touched you in an inappropriate way but i cant think of a hard one other then the 5.9 Grand Cherokees. Or the 3.7 which has coil that rust themselves in place.....
