They are doing the samething in here in Mississippi. Two weeks ago someone stole my D-5 dozer. They stole a truck and a goose neck and loaded it with rail. They got the truck stuck and got another truck and trailer to move my dozer five miles to pull the first truck out. A land owner heard them and caught them at 11:30 a night.

Bent fuel tank on the dozer. Rearend in truck. Bent trailer. The guy that caught them knew the guy from the area. The guy that caught them was about eighty, and there were four of them. I told him thet could have killed him. He said not as long as I have this. He pulled out a old 45 he had in his pants.LOL. He said he had one guy crying before the police got there.

cool man (yj) have a safe trip!!

Well, I failed emissions in my c20. I passed the hydracarbons really good. I failed the CO tho. I was allowed 3.00, and I had 3.41. The slip said i passed 3 or the 4 test tho. I guess i did better than i thought.

The dude at the place, said it could be a spark plug or wire, or the distributor..???? Does that sound right to anyone? My apt neighbor said that since i didn't fail by much, that a good tune up should do it. Does that sound correct? I am stressin out big time, as i only have 3 weeks left on my temp permit, and it will be towed from my **** apartments.

Does this sound like an expensive fix? I hate gov regulations.

I appreciate everyone's advice on this matter. have a blessed day.

Matt

Push that hunk of Chevy off a cliff for starters! Lol. If you can't remember the last time its had a tune up, thatd be a good place to start. Some carb adjustment. Or wait till you're around quarter tank and dump three big bottles of rubbing alcohol in the tank. It'll run like garbage but it'll burn clean lol
