  1. I personally have had enough of the one sided administrative control. It seems like I have to put up with all the left side Dumb *** comments but when ever a “True” comment is made the topic suddenly gets deleted because it’s “political”.   I AM DONE. This is the only site I look at, and this will be my last post.  I will not be stalking or ever open this site again. I have made some Very good friends through this site and they all know how to contact me.  Thanks for all the education with Dodge trucks, it’s been a fun ride.

  2. “Display of power”. I remember that term several times in the early 80s coming from the officer outside my truck window.
     

     

    I do agree that the issue with the dog should be pursued for sure. Tie a short leash on him and throw him in the back of your truck.

  3. We used to have a luau every two years which all the dodge people were invited. Merle and Mark usually attended. We now moved to every 4 years. This is the year of our luau. We are still tentatively planning it but stay tuned.

  4. This a picture of one of our “rock” gardens. Hope it counts.  
    I am done for the day and we just put steaks on the wood fired grill. 
    My friends always say we are crazy for all of our lawn and outside projects. I tell them it’s cheaper than having a therapist.

  5. I had the tank out and it was spotless inside.  You did make me think of something.  A few years back one of my batteries smelled funny and I opened the hood and the battery was bubbling. I pulled the ground and changed the battery. I will check the date on the battery in the morning. I kind of think that is when all this happened. 

  6. Your car looks amazing!  I am sure it’s not the same mainly because I deal with salt in the winter’s. But I have purchased two different dump trailers with, as they quoted high-quality powder coat paint and after two winters they look like crap. Paint comes off in sheets. The last one I purchased I paid extra for I believe a zink primer and after one winter it looks great.  
     

    I absolutely love the quality of work you have been doing on your Pontiac. 

  7. Thanks for all the input from all. The truck is in incredible shape and actually has more power than my 2018 Cummins. Maybe not more pulling power but definitely more power off the line and to get to 60 faster. It’s (only) got 225,000 miles and I would love this issue figured out. 

  8. Well after I changed several items my truck still stalls out, only now it’s once in a blue moon.  But now I have another strange, very strange thing going on. Few weeks ago I left for work and drove about 10 miles and my truck was blowing cold air, I stopped and shut my truck off and immediately started it again, my heater worked perfectly.  (Remember when my truck acted like a ford and would stall out I would shut it off and restart it). So I drove it this morning and the heater set at half heat it blew unbelievably hot, it feels like a sauna in the cab.  My temp gauge read normal. My mechanic thinks it’s the computer all along, even the reason behind the stalling. But I am afraid to spend that kind of money and not sure that’s the problem. This truck is just a back up truck for me and is not driven daily.  Any thoughts???

      45 years over the road and never had the pleasure of driving a Reo! Keep us posted on this old jem.

    Now that Dennis Weaver thing. Close but that was a "Needle Nose Pete".

    Cool picture, I remember as a kid every time we saw a semi blowing black smoke my dad would say “his injectors are not right “. Not sure if it’s right but I heard it a lot.

    My 51 came with a the ignition key on the right, it didn't work in the door which tells me one of the two were changed out over the years.  While working in Pasadana for a year I stopped by a locksmith shop and hand them rekey the door lock to match and make a couple of new spare keys.  Unfortunately the new keys have the Ford logo on them.

    Years ago while on a working trip to Wisconsin I stopped by a local junk yard and while browsing the many Dodge trucks I found this key holder with key laying on the floor.  Oddly enough the ignition switch was missing.  At that point I decided to liberate the orphan switch :)

    What I found most interesting was the key holder itself.  I remember seeing people using holders like this when I was a kid back in the 60s.

    Being a part of this Dodge group of owners never seizes to amaze me. I told Brad I grew up in Clintonville so he sent me the key chain.  That was very touching to me and it will be cherished. I am on the Board of Directors for the Clintonville historical society. I will take it to the next meeting to see if anyone knows any history on it. I’ve been asking around, nobody remembers it. We have a very nice newsletter put out every three months and I’m going to ask the publisher to put a picture in there to see if anybody recalls the business. 
     

    Thanks again Brad,  Hopefully I can pay it forward someday to you.

  12. My bet it was Sell’s salvage between Clintonville and Marion. He had a couple dozen pilot house trucks there. All gone now, I heard about the crushing of vehicles going on but by the time I got there all the Dodges were gone.

    That is very cool. I grew up in Clintonville Wisconsin, moved 7 miles away to Marion. Shawano is only 14 miles from me.
