If you get it fixed and then have it inspected by your state, they will issued a rebuilt or repaired title. Shouldn't be that much trouble. I don't think it's legal to start switching VINs, besides you don't want to issure it as an S-10, if it gets wrecked again, they would give you squat for...

12.9 @ 108 isn't what you posted above, this sounds much more believable.

Must have had a great launch to run a 12.6 and only cross the line at 102.

Either way, it was a cool vid, It would have been nice to see them both line up and do a full 1/4 run at WOT, that would have determined a winner for sure.

yep, I had to listen to everything shake rattle and roll in my interior the first two months or so I used my Ty as a DD. that made for a long 120/miles/day! :x I finally got them all fixed (mostly loose screws and dumb Sh!t like that). Like stated above, if you can't turn a wrench, or at...

Just keep in mind, you get what you pay for. Like Tyler said if you buy a cheaper one with lots of miles, be ready to spend some money to getting/keeping it running right. Maybe try to find something in the middle, not a mint condition, not a junker, but a solid running truck that you can drive...

Yeah I think it would help your trailer, I can't say enough about the stuff (por-15) and I really look forward to doing a body-off on my Ty and using it. Will

P6449S Mini starter for me too, much easier install/removal and sounds pretty cool too! WHHEEEEEEEEE......

Vince, I'm planning to do the same next fall with my Ty. It would be great if you could post pics of your progress, and document any problems/solutions along the way! Will

I did a carfax on mine before I bought it and found that it was issued a salvage title a few years ago after it was stolen. I assume it was stripped down and totalled by the insurance company. I liked the truck enough to buy it anyway once I drove it and found no signs of damage. I did use...

As it turns out, the battery may not have been the only cause of failure after all! I had more of the clicking problem after I installed the new battery. I did some more checking and found the good old purple wire had a small cut in the insulation too! Now I have replace it with a 10ga wire...

Yikes! :o Some steps to prevent that: -Frequent washes when the roads are salty (1-2 weekly), and make sure the undercarriage is cleaned thoroughly -Frequently inspect the body for the beginning signs of rust (bubbling paint etc.), pain close attention around the cladding, it has been known...

Good point Ed. The connections are all good, and the wires were new last month. The battery was from 2000 so that's almost 4 years or so. I'd say age was the cause of failure. There haven't been any signs of charging failures or difficulties. I'll watch the alternator closely for a while...

Thanks for all the help guys. I started with Jeff's advice and was able to put some turns on the crankshaft with a rachet. That made me feel much better knowing the engine was seized up. Then I checked my battery and connections. All connections were sound, but the battery was in fact low...

It hasn't been a very good day. Here's the story. I drove my Ty for about 15 minutes this afternoon to pick up a few things. When I got home I parked it in the driveway so I could wash it. Before doing so I had to move my wife's car out of the way. So when I went to move the Ty to the front...
