skimmed but no time to find what ever your talking about.


Im going by how mine is insured through Hagerty:


"We can consider limited towing and hauling up to 20 times per year"

[cracker]

The Hagerty agent asked what I was going to be using the truck for and I evidently made the mistake / was honest enough to say "Load up some surfboards and go surfing for the weekend at the beach" and his response was an immediate "Umm, wrong answer, we can't cover you; NO type of hauling is allowed, much less leaving the truck outside overnight away from an enclosed and locked garage; even parking garages are disallowed.

well, sorry that contradicts the documentation in my policy- its also clearly stated on there website.  no mileage limits either.  my storage conditions were also accepted.

they do require proof of insurance of the other vehicles i own, and evaluated that i have 4 tags and one house hold driver.  its also an agreed value so at 4K, i dont think they are too stringent. 

if for sale id list it for 10-12K however. 

if i would have clamed it to be 45K im sure they would have looked a bit harder at it.

I bet that's the difference

my new reg says

"MMH TLECOR"

the line below the weight and fuel/Cyl  and date

??

[Wingman]

That is suppose to be chassis config and color. No clue what those stand for...

[M4wdFab]

chassis color, make, vin in line above line containing weight, engine, cyl, date

[Wingman]

Duh, you said below, not above. My bad... 

Mine says "MLB LYNA57"

JJ had a spare pair of OEM ls headers so i ran out and grabbed them.  swapped out the blown in half passenger side with new gaskets and bolts. was much easier than i was preparing for.

got a 3" walker Muffler put in today, much more tolerable exhaust note and way more derivable now.

also got the van ebrake petal assembly installed and hooked up, working.


ready for next inspection attempt. 

[M4wdFab]

Picked up with a fresh sticker today yes!

[M4wdFab]

headlights adjusted.  some new hard ware and springs installed.  much better night pointing to right sky

needs a fuel gage



$88.10 for 5 gals of fuel on 90.  had a trooper on me in two mins wanting to dispatch tow.  if i could have coasted another 200 yards up hill i could have pulled a Ryan and rolled down to the scottsville rest stop.


boo.
