Well I'm bored so I figured I'd give Ya'll an update on my many sets of wheels.


The Mystery Machine is still sitting. I haven't touched it. the one day I got the urge to mess with it I couldn't get my 66 started to get my truck close enough to jump it. I'm talking with Guero now to buy some of his parts so I'll have them when I get working on it. I also Haven't had the money to work on it cause my truck was messed up and I wanted it fixed first for the winter.


The Ram should be all fixed up. I replaced the track bar and it gets aligned tomorrow. It was having surging idle issues that were driving me insane. I replaced the IAC and is still did it. I replaced the TPS which was the winner back to normal now yay. I also had to replace the multi-function switch cause if I fliped it to turn on my high beams all my lights would go out. I also got new brake pads for it haven't put them on yet though. Thinking about waiting till it gets inspected to see if they say it needs them yet. So all my "stang" fixing money has gone to the big beast OHHH I'm in the process of making a homemade CAI for it. I'm gonna use the filter I got with my stangs ebay CAI and a 4" pvc pipe stright to the fender. In order to do it I also need a dakota air hat which a guy on dodgeforums is gonna give me. He lives like 2 hours away and said i cold pick it up but I'm just gonna pay for shipping. The price of gas shipping will be cheaper. I'll post pics when I get it done.


The Interceptor needs new fork seals and inspected. Beings I've been spending so much on the Ram this has been set back. I have also been having issues with the starter button sticking. I tried spraying contact cleaner on it to no avail(sp?) I tried what a guy told me to do on VFRWord but that didn't work either. I ended up saying **** it and took the switch apart and while working on it something fell out of it . I now have kinda 3 options 1. buy a new switch which I belive is the whole pod and with the age of the bike I figure wil be a **** load (air filter cost me 30 some bucks and the brake fluid res cost me 30 some bucks which is just a little plastic cup so I can't even begin to imagine an elect. part) 2. replace it with a used one from a junk yard or ebay. Found one on ebay for 35 bucks again that much for used new will prolly be outragious. 3. do away with it and put a car type starter button on it. I pay more for insurance on the damn bike just for libility they I do full coverage on my Ram so I'd liek to get it back on the road and learn to ride it better and get my license. Its stupid to pay all that an the damn thing just sit there.



So theres the updates. I will fill ya's in as they 1 by 1 get all fixed up

Wow man, thats why I hate dodges....my $500 bronco is still running 3 years later!

Good to hear though that you got the truck dialed in. use ebay for the correct start switch. get a $500 explorer motor for your car. done.
