"Nemesis" did ok on the first test run.
Overheated - but didn't - the guage went up to 260! So I pulled it over and the hose was barely warm - so maybe there was simply an air bubble that had to work its way out.
Transmission seemed reluctant to shift - but I figured out it was low on fluids. Hopefully filling it will help. As well, I will adjust the kickdown cable to change the shift points a tad.
I don't know that this 6.2 is in the best shape. It seemed there was a lot of un-burnt fuel in the exhaust - then again, it was -35 or colder the entire time I drove it.
As the name goes - it is still the nemesis. Took it to the insurance company and they said they couldn't insure it unless I either had it titled in my name or had a signed title. So I went out to get the title and SOMEONE forgot to sign it before he left the state. SO they said they couldn't insure it. :confused:
If I have posession of the vehicle and I want to insure it, shouldn't they take my money??? hrug: They said :nono:. So I said, so if a friend lent me their vehicle if I would insure it, you're telling me I couldn't insure it :errf:
They said, nope.
I said, but I've done that before.
They said, not in Alaska you didn't. (evidently there is a state law saying only an owner can insure a vehicle)
I didn't bother then informing them that they were the insurance company that insured that vehicle for almost 2 years while it was titled to someone else... ilenced:
So I said, I have to drive this vehicle. I have no choice. So you're telling me to be able to drive I have to drive un-insured. :mad: :angry: :rant: :banghead:
In the end, I'm suprised they didn't call the cops and tell them an unisured driver was leaving their parking lot.
Mark is going to get a "bill of sale" and have it notariazed. Then he can fax it to the insurance agency and THEN they can insure it. Stinking bureaucracy! :doh:
