Hi , I have a couple of 450s , somethings I have seen with blowing fuses , on the 2nd gen ( which is what you have ) 2002-2004 , the electric shift front diff would blow the main 30 amp fuse on me ---- another spot that gave a problem , right behind the fuel filter in the first pic , harness rubbed on under side of the frame , you could not see it without moving it also the voltage regulator will cause a fuse to blow

I have had fits before trying to bleed my brakes , from reading your thread it sounds like you have tried some of this before , so forgive me it is is repetitive , but this has not failed me yet , kind of hard to explain You need two pinch pliers to do this procedure , if you don't have them , then small vise grips will work , if you are using vise grips use a piece of rubber or cardboard to make a u-shaped hose protector so the teeth don't damage the hose ,first pinch the hose right out of the master , if the master is good it will make the lever hard with one maybe two pumps ( first time ) at the most , if it test good then leave the pliers there , attach another pair pf pliers on one side of the tee , blocking off one side , so that you are only working with one side at a time ---- here is the technique , pump the lever till you feel pressure then with your other hand release the pliers, when the pressure on the lever releases and the lever touches the handle bar , re-pinch the pliers before letting the lever go , then pump the lever till pressure is achieved and repeat the previous procedure , so what you are doing is force feeding pressure thru the hose , a pump at a time , then it helps to have another person to start bleeding the bleeder valve , when you feel you have pressure to one side , then move the pinch pliers to the other side of the tee and repeat on that side I have seen the inside of the metal fittings' hose barb at the hose get rusted up and blockage occur , also seen the hoses get soft and expand when pressure applied , proper adjustment of the brake shoes is vital to get it bleed properly I have also played around with reverse bleeding using pressure and also by using a vacuum pump and sucking fluid thru , but that pinch and pump seems to work the best for me when having trouble

Dave Gahan is really young in this video

Kind like a stretched dune buggy , very nicely done , the paint pops

I worked with guys , that for breakfast snack they would eat sardines on top of cinnamon rolls , some people called them bear claws or planks and pour the oil out the sardine can onto the roll

What flavor ? You should know by now , we need info with the pics , LOL Looks like the bottom tip is broken off that cone , was it messy ?

Yellowstone Sunday past

I think Hollywood has run out of things to make movies about , here is their latest movie

It is 105.3 WWL FM it starts around 5:00 AM and goes to 7:00 , it is called Don Dubuc the Outdoor Guy , every week he had the Bad Boy segment , always good , my buddy made it a while back , I have a copy of it , about 2:30 seconds -------- I was just looking for a recording of the bear deal , can't find it on you tube

We got a Wildlife show on Saturday mornings on the radio , there is a segment called Bad Boys of the Outdoors , this week was a Dad with his son and another guy , the boy supposedly shot a black bear by mistake , said they thought it was a hog , then they haul the bear carcass to another location and dumped it , the Wildlife figured out who did it , restitution and fines were over $13,000 , and possible jail time , lost of hunting privileges ------ intentional concealment of illegally taken game , taken the bear and contributing to the delinquency of a minor were a couple of the more serious charges

A lot of places now days , make the hunters mark their arrows during hunting season with name and license number ------ I guess I am dreaming but with fingerprints and DNA nows days , what type of arrow like 56Sierra says was used , they should be able to catch the person that did that

Wow, I would have to think this was no accident --- All I know is the dog was found on CR 664 outside of Devine-Natalia , don't know what state that is

@shadetree Remember we were talking about a mirror , LOL @Wormy light mod !!!
