The friend wants to give his Duramax a rest. The Jeep was his departed Father's, so there is some attachment there. Use the Jeep as a part time commuter.

No, that’s the way I got it. Came in a box of extras when I bought the trans.
The man lift works slick, grab sheet,push up button and one on ground walks it into place.
Each panel is 220” long.
Only went up ladder 2x.

Yep, that was me ! Super cool dude, was pricey but had no other option. He wouldn't accept any payment until I had the can back in the car and verified the operation. Car has been running great since, I'd use him again if needed.... as a matter of fact, I emailed him about restoring some old dealership name plates... he responded and was supposed to get back with me, I need to call him ..

Looking great!!!
Keep it up and she'll be on the road soon....
So a crazy thing happened while I was on trip last weekend....
I have a new Echo PB580T blower, I used it the day I left, and it was almost filled with fuel. I use the fuel out of a can, no Ethanol, and premixed with oil.
Well, went to use it yesterday, and the tank was empty. Strange....Well tried to pull the start rope, it was locked up SOLID!!
Pulled plug, nothing in the cylinder, still not able to pull rope, even with plug out....HMMMMM. It seems the tank is not vented, so the gas got real hot and expanded, into the crankcase!!!! It was FULL of fuel, the crankcase!!! Dissembled it, drained out the gas, put it back together, got it started, but now needs a new Carb. That was strange, never saw that before. I will leave the fuel cap loose from now on when I am not using it.....
