Re: Misfire under acceleration

You Swiss guys get all the fun toys with a working happy switch, full auto :-) check the Sig forum for magazines. He's right about your truck, check all the basic stuff first. Nine times out of ten it will be something obvious that you overlooked because we all gravitate to the worst case. Good luck...

Check the parts manual towards this back, there's several pages of decals you can order to replace missing or damaged ones. Check with EI and SAV for availability. Good luck!

Boeing B-17 landed in Elkhart, IN !!!

I hope this isn't inappropriate for this forum, but we had a WWII era Boeing B-17 land at our local airport for a static display. They were offering rides for $ 600.00 each, way out of my budget right now but was I ever tempted. The crew spent almost 20 years restoring it and it probably didn't look...

Congrats on the new family member. You're gonna like it a lot. Good luck with getting the beast out of 6x6. Sometimes just driving it a bit can help get the lockers disengaged.
