Got my wreck home
|
Hi I was telling about a van I got on ebay.
Well I went to reno got on amtrak,& went to saltlake city where I was met
with some of the COLDEST weather I have seen in years! I got off train at
5:00 am and was sitting in American Fork by 9:30 am. Had to wait till 4:30
for the guy to get off work. He came and picked me up, and we headed to his house where the van was. I looked it over, and paid him his $280.00, And
went to work on getting it started. The cylenders were full of oil as expected
and so upon blowing out the oil, I ruined half the upostery! I put rags and
whatnot over the plug holes and it just blew them off. Got it started, It runs
perfectly. But it won't quit smoking. call a friend he says to clean pvc valve
It stopped smokeing, and I drove it home! 750 miles trouble free! It has the inline 6 and a cruise controll so I used that all the way home (I can't reach
the gas pedal) Going thru nevada it averaged 18 mpg @ 60 MPH Got a LOT
of body work to do. I could not be happier!!!
