Update: Here's where I am now. Bought the vaccuum bleeder, hooked it up, and found an incredible amount of air in the rear lines. Three complete bottle of brake fluid later, it is still there. I checked the whole system, there are no leaks, but it appears air is getting in somehow. I even went...

Alright, thanks for the replies. I think I'm gonna go pick up one of those Mi-T-Vac's or whatever they're called from Harbor Freight and try it again. This is really frustrating me, I am leaving on a cross country trip tomorrow and this is the last thing I need. The first thing I thought...

Do they Idaho guys hang out here or another chapter? All the places you named are doable, I would like to find something withing an hour or two, instead of 3 or four. It's just kind of surprising that with all the land, and as you stated, being in the middle of nowhere, there isn't any decent...

I was in need of some better pads, so I put new pads on the front and turned the rotors. I also pulled the drums in the rear and inspected and adjusted. Figuring it was time for new brake fluid, I sucked the brake fluid out of the master, put in new fluid, and bled all the brakes using gravity...

Self tapping bolts should work fine. You can order them online, or any hardware supplier should be able to get them. Not trying to hijack, but What's the metal going to cost you, or did you have it laying around? I used to try and build everything, but sometimes I can get finished products...

Just get in the zone, autozone! Seriously though, autozone can suck for some parts, but they usually have decent prices on tune up parts and have tons of stuff in stock. I haven't found one here yet, but I typically like to find a good parts store with employees that aren't complete idiots...

They make cable lube and oilers for motorcycles. Might be worth trying.

So I changed my radiator the other day, and decided it might be a good time to flush the cooling system. I took the heater hose off the thermostat housing, and was trying to get my garden hose up to it, and before I knew it, the heater hose was in my hand, attached to nothing. After a quick...

I'm not getting there until August. I am leaving Cali and heading to WA with a detour of a couple months in Virginia. So the old Heap will have to do two cross country trips. I just spent a good week taking care of all the little things I should have a long time ago. New radiator, PS pump...

I would love to drive it into a ditch or two.

That's the right rad. The tranny cooler looks so big because it has a plug in it and no fitting. Good price. I picked up a CSF 3 row all metal from DPG and it was $194 shipped. I am very happy with it, it is very well built and works like a champ.

Moto, I'm going to be transfering in to WSU. I am an active duty Marine, but am going back to school. Pretty good gig. I looked into Riverside a little, all I found is that there is an ORV area. Maybe a trip is in order.

It's just gears, not a complete front end.

Hey everyone. Long story short, I am a Puget Sound native, have been in Southern California for the past 3 years, and am moving up to Pullman. Just seeing if anyone is in the area and where you wheel. I'm looking forward to getting back up to WA for a couple years after dealing with...

Update: Now free!
