Paul, no problem with that, c'mon here. Just dodn't forget to add a snow plow to the R for more fun

Vlad, I put you on my weather ap. Moscow is sitting on -4C. We’re sitting on -22C. Not a huge spread. 

Dont forget to also add an engine heater to the R model. 

Trump has a natural gift for identifying right wing spinelessness. He’s like a walking MRI machine. Suddenly you realize so many of these guys (as listed) are just “doing their time”, avoiding conflict and trying to lock in another term. 

Since McCain is off the ballot.......I’d spend my vote on Romney or Ryan for wasting the ticket in 2012. 

I’d make sure i was present to see those soap bubbles.

That’s what the western press said....yes. Not the true situation on the ground.

I’m not agreeing or dis......cause Winnie is controversial in any circle, right above religion and politics. 

Winnie is a deadpan comedian like Bob Newhart. All the friends and cast are what make him funny. Chinese probably can’t “get it”. They think he is an effeminate, yellow Panda, which is an insult to Asians who love the Panda. Tigger is probably legally an honorary Chinese citizen cause he’s actually funny and in the Chinese calendar. 

Simple physics. “No replacement for displacement”. A square inch= 1 Sq inch. For a roto to have more pounds of force it has to have a mechanical multiplier or a physically larger diameter. Whomever applies that law wins the argument. 

My wife was in China before the olympics. Other than very poor air quality she said the only thing noteable was spit bags. Guess it’s normal to spit on everything, everywhere, in China. They don’t swallow their mucus because it glows from the inner-city crud it’s filtering out of the lungs and sinus. Bad enough to inhale it, much less eat it too. The socialist police stand on corners handing out spit bags while they tried to clean the presently dried on filth before the Olympics.

Easy enough to like the plastic shell, I just want to know one thing...………….does it have an electric prime?

Actually amazon is not that bad when you do an internet search and see that a lot of other places are around $30

 

Any main-stream vendor who beats Amazon for overprice? “Amazon Challenge” requires a worse price from an established vendor.

Better check the seal!!!

Amazon pricing is getting to be as bad as Grainger

And its not even exotic or hard to find items they are gouging you on? They have some, unique, captured, items you can’t get elsewhere, so set your price in that case........but this is stuff you can find at any corner Hardware Store.

Even the leading Chinese heavy truck makers have made electric primers standard.

Now THAT’S ironic.

Rip off of the day.

Stanley wire crimper $9.99 @ Menards.

Same Stanley wire crimper @ amazon...…. $35.66

Along with the rest of domestic manufacturers like Deere and Cat who install electric primers. Europeans dig cheap, low tech, hand pumps? If Volvo installed an electric primer they might get an extra year of life out of each injector once they start to bubble. 

I didn’t know what to say Fred......

We're the batteries properly secured and all of the terminals insulated?

We're the four propane tanks the small screw on ones? I had an issue with the valve on a partial one leaking

Yup, small, screw on thread top, for little Mr.Heater type heaters. 

No, from my understanding not secured or capped.

Noah read this post and said “nope”, not a coon. He sent a pic of the shack. It had a hard shell, top and bottom. When collapsed it looks like a closed clam. Nothing but hard shell. He gave credit to the theories that rolled out though, lol.

If science can’t explain it, BMT likely will !!!

Pure W.A.G. is that the "dog" or some other "wildlife" walked over the Top of everything on the rack & shorted a Battery out causing a Spark & a chain reaction.. maybe???

Heck yeah, best theory yet H.Seed! A Landfill Monkey(Raccoon).

 If the portable shack smelled at all like fish....or snack food, etc, naturally the raccoon are going to screw around with it. You always have food in your shack. It’s been unseasonably warm this winter so the coon have been out of hibernation, especially in the city where there’s always a lot to eat. They have monkey hands, 4 fingers + thumb and dexterity to dig, claw, pull and hold. Things love to walk on vehicles like a cat. It easily fills the missing piece of the puzzle, “what shorted the batteries?”. 

When there’s no power to the EUP you will flow-through an open center. IOW- If your running 80 psi in your fuel rail...that’s the amount of pressure against the injector tip. If a tip leaks or cracks you get rail flow into the cylinder and lotsa smoke. Injection doesn’t occur till the 80 PSI fuel is trapped & compressed when the magnet induces port closure. 

Clueless.....I short them constantly at work and never kill a healthy, running, engine beyond the target cylinder.  Are you contacting them to each other or to a dead ground? 

Break them(terminals) loose at one side and retighten lightly so you can use the one wire to remove and dead out cylinder. Keep in mind these terminals get seized easily, if they won’t loosen, don’t force them. 

I don’t have the resistance spec available....I’m not at work. Keep in mind you need to disconnect one side of the EUP to get a legitimate, clean, reading. Otherwise you are including a harness and ECU in your math.

if you have the OEM part number call a PAI dealer and you can also save 20%-30%

Only thing to pay attention to is someone screwing up the suspension assemblies. I'm working on a truck right now that sits crooked. When you look at the Z-spring members it doesn't even touch the front hanger on the RFRear, I can stick my fingers in the gap between the spring front slipper pad and spring strike-side. Whoever did the spring work put the wrong spacer in between axle and spring member. One side spring spacer is tapered for caster and opposite side is perfectly flat and square. In the case of what I have you can get an uneven load to one wheel, esp when bobtail.

In the mid/early 2000’s Mack over sensitized the fault parameters and we occasionally got ghost codes on working EUP’s. It seemed to have come in with the CCRS vintages. They changed the software to lessen, or desensitize, the ghost code issue/parameter. If you change the EUPs the codes will likely disappear, but I’d require them to show a running issue before changing out. Example-your cold miss could be a failing magnet in the specific EUP your coding on and justify a new one. Aftermarket vendors are selling those pumps cheap, so it may be a worthwhile investment.

i have only pushed snow twice so far this year but one of them was about a 8 inch snowfall. i am perfectly happy when we don't get any snow....lol

 

we have had several other snowfalls that were an inch or less

You ice fish? Sakakawea? Devils? Missouri?

I recall they were running the Devils Lake Perch Express on Amtrak and Perch Patrol....till the tar sand boom took over. 

Guess whatever keeps the chickens warm, happy and safe on the way to the McNugget blender?  

News people must be cut from the same piece of cloth? The town of Ashland was "Rocked!!!!",...…...I.O.W. -neighborhood dogs were barking.
