Re: Insurance Help

Insured with Hagerty/Essentia into my 2nd year. Just renewed my policy. Very easy to set up & the best rates I've found. I'm in PA with my Swiss 710k.

Re: Engine stumbling backfiring ...

Glad you were able to troubleshoot it. It's amazing what an adverse impact when they fail. Really recommend keeping at least one spare in the truck. This problem shut me down twice. Hope you're in good running order now.

Best,

Re: 24v Warn winch fully restored!

Hi J, my winch mount came from Andre Swanson at Fat Fabrications. It's a perfect fit. I also really like the straightforward functional design. Solid & well built. Highly recommend going to Andre for one.

Re: Engine stumbling backfiring ...

After checking the timing be sure to check the 4 solenoid leads 2 going into the drivers side of each carborator. One of mine came slightly loose & my vehicle backfired to the point I had to shut down on two trips. Found the issue after a bit of time troubleshooting. Runs great after tightening ...

Re: Pesky brake springs

I got a drum brake tool kit off of Amazon. Has spring & adjusting tools. Not the best quality but functional. I had a kit similar years ago but with disk brakes didn't need it. Loaned it out or lost it over time. Really saves alot of time & aggravation. Very affordable. Highly recommend it.

Re: Swiss 710k Wheel Cylinder Seize

I feel the same way. These really look like the original cylinders. At 46 years old & one seized I'll just replace the pair & the lines at the hub. Better to play it safe.

Thanks for your feedback. Great to hear from someone who's been down this road already.

Best,
