Hello from Southern Oregon
Thanks for the welcome, I fished a little on Lost Creek Lake and the Applegate (trout) otherwise; I had a mentor who's since gone to his heavenly reward who taught me how to fish Dexter Dam southeast of Eugene.

Looking for a good IP shop
Hi All, And thanks for this forum. I just experienced a "heat soak" issue with my first diesel. Ran fine through the winter, now high 80's, 90's I let it sit for a while and it wouldn't restart. Two mornings later it started fine, however it does show a tendency to die when coming down to idle...- Trkfmrzrevenge
