Hi Everyone,
I'm David from St. Paul and I am new here. I joined a few years back and for some reason I didn't follow up with it. Anyways I'm here now with a question for anyone who might be from Minnesota. I am 27 and I'm working to get my 52 2 ton started. I have to mention I have been working very on/off on it since I bought it in 2012, basically picking here and there in the storage facility the truck has sat... all in an effort to get the thing to just start. I have had all ingredients at one time or another, but only once come close to having them all at the same time and anywhere near a sputter.
My difficulty stems from 1. Not enough knowledge but a lot of tinkering and curiosity and 2. I sometimes need an extra brain to bounce ideas off of to boost my confidence. I don't have a buddy, dad or grandpa around that are able to help me with this kind of stuff. This is kinda my first effort.
I really am beyond proud and passionate about the truck and I really do dream about it being road worthy and bringing it to shows. Is anyone here perhaps around Minnesota, perhaps the St. Paul area? I could reimburse gas or just provide beer, anything really to get another stove bolt lover to help me. I'm thinking I might hire a mobile mechanic if I get too desperate.
Thanks for your input,
David
