Q: hi jodi. i see roy pinged nate for you. if he doesnt reply here you can visit his jeep forum at http//7slotgrille.com/ dont add www in the address. sign up and ask your question in the forum there. he owns that forum so hell likely see your question. hes a jeep enthusiast and a montana resident. it seems he is constantly selling his vehicles and buying different ones. he should be very familiar with montana registration procedures. -- ken . 222 343785 47ffd3be$0$3362$4c368faf@roadrunner.com just because its rare doesnt make it valuable and there is really nothing about that engine to make it so unless someone is restoring a vehicle that needs that particular engine... or if some schmuck really wants that engine then its got what ever value the buyer and seller agree on. get the point lol no shit sherlock. i do believe that was my origional point when i said that i cant believe how much some people think crap is worth. while i was referring to the seller it goes for any buyer as well. even as a rat rod engine its low hp and that tiny 2bbl makes it worth next to nothing in good shape never mind the lead slug that it currently is. btw the motor who cares..... apparently you do since you keep replying. is not all but siezed up it is siezed up. if you look at the pictures you can see that this motor has been sitting in the dirt and outside for some tims and it is missing a few plugs. i can only imagine how bad those so what because it adds to the cost of making it usable which subtracts from its worth and if it is to far gone to fix it then it is junk. cylinders are. btw he has now determined that this engine is really a 53 241 hemi which means that it only puts out a wopping 140 hp. lol the 4 cyl in my nissan does better than that. thats not the point. actually yes it is or at least one of them anyway. being rare alone doesnt mean shit. there are plenty of objects in the world that are rare and are so for a reason and sometimes its because they no longer serve any valid purpose and nobody gives a shit about preserving them which makes them both rare and worthless. it is not the hemi but a hemi and not a particularly good version of one at that. we are not talking about the 426 here. the 340 otoh is a highly desirable engine capable of putting out some serious hp so yes it is worth a few bucks and when put into the proper a or e body can significantly increase the value of the car. the hemi in lower case does not refer to the hemi. instead its merely a noun referred to as what it is a hemi. so what and while were at it what makes a dodge or plymouth worth a cool $1000000 at barrett jackson it sure as hell isnt the car especially when two years down the road the prices have dropped to half that. thats because the economy has taken a downturn and many of the people with more bucks than brains dont have as many bucks to throw away anymore. flash the cars dropped in value from the high price they commanded in the late 80s and again in the late 90s. this recent economic downturn has nothing to do with it. evidence of that can be had by looking at the prices of other cars which are now going for the million dollar prices. lol for someone who claims to be so smart..... many of these cars were rare even when new fully restored or in near perfect condition hp vehicles of the muscle car era. this engine may be rare but is neither hp or even in running condition. take that hemi convertable cuda that sold for $1000000 and replace it with one with a rusted out version with a 225 904 automatic hard top and see if you still get the cool mil after all it is still a rare car. who cares. all i see is that you clearly dont get the point or i think that you reply just because you like to see yourself argue. whichever. perhaps you might come up with something origional every now and then. the one that doesnt seem to get the point is you and the point is that even though and item is worth what someone is willing to pay for it there has to be something desirable about the item to make it worth anything and being rare by itself is not one of them. the seller in question may be a shyster but if he gets a buyer and a deal is struck then thats what the scrap iron is worth whether we like it or not. i never said anything different and this goes back to what i said in my first post that it really amazes me how much some people think complete crap is worth. to someone its not complete crap. and realistically a hemi of that vintage isnt crap no matter how bad the condition. if you believe so then why dont you make an offer for it just because something is rare does not make it valuable. what is so special about this vintage of the hemi hope to hear from you soon i know that you do and that is why i replied. sorry for the delay. sincerely -- max

suddenly without warning peterd exclaimed 4/11/2008 1054 pm on fri 11 apr 2008 075556 -0400 roy roy@fhome.net wrote need some help from someone in mt. were returning to the us soon and my spouse has purchased a jeep that he is picking up from a dealer in montana. we dont live in mt so we need to get temp tags so we can drive across the us and register the vehicle at our final destination. having a bit of trouble finding information on montana temporary registrations. it appears to be good for 40 days. can some one confirm this or provide me with a more accurate time if this is wrong thanks! jodi jodi take a look here http//doj.mt.gov/driving/licenseplates.asp down at the bottom of the page is a section on temp plates. id think your selling dealer would have all the info at hand. if you need some phone searching done give me a shout and if needed i will call the plate issueing folks. roy also note my reply about transit plates being avaialble but issued by the destination state not the state where the vehicle is/was purchased. however this may vary. again in nh the dealer would put a 20 day temp plate on any vehicle they sell i think the cost is about $15. i suspect mt is the same in that regard. this varies. weve done this before - got temp tags in mt and registered the vehicle in va. also mt has no sales tax which is one reason why were picking it up there. va isnt very nice - if you dont pay the same amount of taxes on your vehicle you would in va theyll charge you the difference. but if you pay more of course they dont refund you... i remembered the mt temp tags as being 30 days but hubby didnt believe me my memory is notoriously unreliable and we needed to know to plan our cross-country journey. jmc .

took truck in they said it needed a new crank sensor. got it replaced. worked fine. took it back cause the engine light was off but came back on. they put it back on the machine and said it needed a torque converter now and front pump. does it ever end. tbone wrote what year model engine type trans type 2000 ram 1500 4x4 5.9 automatic rebuild . when im backing up truck seems to hesitate like trying to die. but when driving it seems to run fine. what should i look for help did this happen after the trans was rebuilt what exactly do you mean by hesitate does the engine bog down as soon as you put it in gear ir does it do it when you step on the gas to make it move if it does it when you try and make it move then something is wrong with your transmission and it needs to go back to be checked out. some have suggested a malfunctioning torque converter but i doubt that as it doesnt know or care what which way you are trying to move and would cause the same problem in either direction if it were the cause. -- message posted via http//www.carkb.com .
