Re: 710M or 710K?
If you have access to a large California ranch with some crazy trails, why not see if some of the local Pinz owners would be game for a weekend camping trip or something like that? I know there are a few in the LA area. You could see the trucks and what they are capable of. These trucks are not wide...

Re: Buying my first Pinz, what to look for?
Not that I am pushing you either way, but Andre's rig is a fair deal. Some might say cheap for the upgrades he's done. Plus, if so inclined, you could drive it back to CA to save on transport. It's been done before. You don't want a pinz that has been sitting out in the elements for a long time. The...

Re: Restoration Complete
Nice truck.
A lot of things to like on this, I really like the rear windows, opens up the back so much.

Re: Brake Job
Jimm391730, always a wealth of information. the tolerances are pretty remarkable, it took a lot of fooling to even see the pads move. Thankfully I documented which direction adjusts the brakes in or out, so don't have to do that again. I will be redoing these adjustments and going 3 back instead of ...

Re: Brake Job
Is backing off 3 clicks the consensus? I just did my brakes and everything I have recommended 5 clicks back. The manual is a little vague on that, the PO has a binder of printouts from maybe goatwerk's site and that was what was recommended? I have a 710M, not sure if that matters... I have tested i...

Re: OIL-LEAKS: the pinz-bane
I just did my oil pan. It took a lot of cleaning to get the previous junk off, there was blue stuff, red stuff, all from the previous owner. New gasket, permatex aviation "form a gasket" on the pan side and torqued bolts to 11nm (from memory - it's in the manual, don't take my word for it!...

Re: Stumbling in the rain?
RPM limiter is very easy to take out of the loop to test. I had to recently jumper mine and it was an easy fix to my intermittent, poor running issues.

Re: Runs great until fully warm, looses power backfires and
Open faced taco...! Good description, sorry about the muffler.
Valves are a good place to look, wondering if an advance could cause that as well, I know I had a bike that was not advanced right and it would idle just fine but no power under load.

Re: life expectancy.......
How long has the SSI system been around? What about life expectancy with that one?

Re: OIL-LEAKS: the pinz-bane
I found a product from an outfit called newpig.com They make all kinds of oil absorbing materials, I bought a 100' roll of a cloth type oil mat that has a sticky side that grips to concrete or whatever, holds a lot of oil as well. Good stuff, I use it in the shop as shelf liner as well. Can't recomm...

Re: VDO Tach jumping around
Okay, read a bunch and figured out most everyone on here has has similar issues. Seemed easy enough, I just pulled the white plug out of the box, jumped the middle connectors, put a little dialectic grease in the others and covered the plug with some electrical tape. I assume you just tuck this back...

Re: OIL-LEAKS: the pinz-bane
I can tell you about the transmission leak. Super easy and one you should repair, because low transmission fluid is a problem and left unattended your driveway will look like crap and you run the risk of damaging your transmission. There is a really great post titled "tranny oil leak...." ...

Re: VDO Tach jumping around
Jimm391730, Thank you for the information. It felt like a loss of power, I can see how lowering the power to the ignition would cause both issues. I was thinking maybe I had hit the 4500 limit, but I thought that would pretty much stop the truck. I am going to dig out the old manuals and familiarize...
