I know pretty bummed! I'd offer to just do the reverse and drive out there and head back to the east coast but I got that steam locomotive mechanic job so neither option would have worked out regardless. I'm sure us east coast guys will figure the best possible option out!

Bad news for the troopy but good news for me! I got hired as a steam locomotive mechanic locally here working on some old steam trains that are 100 years or so old. I guess it's good news for the troopy in the long run cause I'll finally have some money to put toward it! But all of the rust...

New primer came with a copper crush washer, I see many IP's that all look the same/share the same parts. All using that bosch patented IP design it seems. I did this and it totally solved the issue! Ran it off the tank and got clean strong pressure. Kept it as low as possible (underneath the...

Great, thank you

Well I installed the new part, the noise was still there but I was hopeful. Started it and drove it for 2 hours with no issues! Then out of nowhere massive misfire and the engine died. Opened the bleeder and pumped and only air came out for like 30 seconds, more and more pumping eventually got...

has the engine ran since the rebuild? do you have a starter and it just doesn't work or does it need a whole new starter? 12v or 24v?

After the whole price switch up thing, more than a couple…

One shipment to the east coast then shipping figured out to the west coast from there. If I’m not mistaken

Sweet thank all of y’all for the advice. Bought one yesterday, OEM Bosch unit that is apparently way better than all the others out there. Will keep the thread updated if that solves the issues or not! Picked up a spare transmission for the zupup since this one is currently failing, and a 62...

Interesting I’ve used the starting fluid trick to find vaccum leaks on gassers but never thought to use it on a diesel. I tried it and it didn’t change a single thing. I should have gave more details, it runs perfectly fine. But for the past week or so randomly once it sits overnight I’ll make...

Last night when I was ubering for all the parties the troopy started to misfire HARDDD. Then just shut off entirely, glided into the parking lot of some abandoned store, thank god I didn’t have any girls in the car when this happened. Opened the bleeder screw under the hood, pumped the fuel and...

Was an awesome moment to witness

just sent the wire

Will go to the bank and get it sorted tomorrow.

4 years ago yesterday I got the Red Rocket! It's been thru a ton since then, truly a massive part of my life. Met all of you amazing people (some in person some not) because of this car, really haven't had a bad interaction because of it. Wrote some long thing on my Instagram but I'm feeling...
