Charger Discussion / Temptation!
Last post by lloyd3 - November 05, 2025, 10:22:08 AMFinally got home Sunday after a nearly 2-month stay up in Nowhere, Minnesota (very near to Frostbite Falls).
When I left there early Saturday morning (last) is was overcast and cold. While buying gas in extreme northern North Dakota (at the very last exit before Canada), it started to blow & snow and I realized that I didn't have nearly enough coat on. Contrast that with what the exterior thermometer in my 8-year old Mazda was telling me as I crossed back into Colorado from Nebraska on Sunday afternoon (87-degrees!). Four hours later, as I pulled into my driveway, it was still in the low 80s here. Heavenly, I must tell you.
Now, not entirely heaven because my yard is completely covered in leaves that need raked and bills that need paid, there is also a freezer that is making suspicious sounds which indicates the need for a defrosting (it all waits for you, right?).
Two days of driving too-fast (interstates are pretty wild these days, with average speeds in the mid-80s) leaves me a bit jaded for a day or two, but by Tuesday (yesterday) I was coming back to life, so-much-so that I made a lunch date with a buddy to get caught up (& to get some hunting supplies needed for my next adventure which is coming up shortly). Anyway, the "temptation" component of all this is that lunch with this buddy usually involves my '68 car, which is happily slumbering under it cover now. If I didn't have so-much going on, I'd have dragged it out for a fun November toot! The weather here is supposed to be good for another 3-4 days and it would be a blast to finally get a Fall ride or two in for a change.
It's effectively Indian Summer here right now and man...that is just so tempting.
The freezer be-damned!

Electric, Gauges, & Lights / Re: Fuel gauge can't decide
Last post by 70 sublime - November 05, 2025, 07:39:13 AMOil pressure gauge does not sound normal when it goes all the way up when first turn key on
Pull the wire off the pressure sensor and see if it happens the same way again
If it does nothing you need a new sensor
If it does it sounds like a broken wire and has a short

Car Guys Discussion / Re: Old Mopars in the wild
Last post by Chris 69 - November 04, 2025, 10:26:24 AMThanks for the info for the year(s) of the Valiant, I couldn't nail down the exact year.
Unfortunately, I didn't stop to look at it as my wife and I were taking our daughter to the fish hatchery to look at the salmon.
The Valiant looked great all blacked out and with the slight rake though!

Car Guys Discussion / Re: Old Mopars in the wild
Last post by Kern Dog - November 04, 2025, 01:19:30 AMThanks, Chris....I love seeing these "in the wild" pictures you post up.
That black Valiant....
Body looks like a 70-71, grille is a 1969. Hood "Plymouth" emblem was I think 70-72.
What was the price?

Ah yes, liberal commie policies: defund the police, SNAP for the lazy, handouts for illegal trespassers, uninvited criminal aliens welcome, all breathing scum, CDL's for illiterate rag-heads, come one come all.
God help NYC and NY !!!
Our future is secure; . . . . just not the one most of us grew up with and worked for.
