Hey all, new from Kent, WA here (just south of Seattle).
I have an '87 V10 SWB with a 350 on 33x12.5" tires.
So far I have:
I drove by this truck for a week on the way home. While another guy was getting his $2,000 to buy the truck, I beat him to it.
My plans are to use it as a daily driver & to haul stuff around.
I absolutely love my truck & wish I had more time (& money) to work on it.
Right now I am trying to figure out what in the hell is blowing my gage/idle fuse intermittently. I removed the PO's aftermarket alarm system that was a complete hack job...
A little about me:
I'm a retired US Marine—I was an 0331 machine gunner & was injured in an IED explosion in 2005. Broke almost every bone on one side or the other, lost my right thumb & the use of most of my right hand. The HMMWV did a backflip & landed on top of me. Gave my life to Jesus under that HMMWV. Died on the flight back to the US, got resuscitated mid-air & spent 2 weeks in a coma...now I'm a pastor.
Hobbies include my wife, church, my dogs, my truck, anything USMC, a good beer, & lawn/garden.
