Thanks for sharing these! I swear I will visit Israel when I get out of school... so beautiful, so much history, and so many awesome MVs.

When I was a young lad working parts at a Freightliner dealership in Kalamazoo, Mi we had a canadian tagged truck come in with an entire family.. 2 actually... of Pakistanis living in it. Two guys, two women, and like 3 kids. The clutch was out if I remember right, and we told them to put the...

Bumping a golden moldy here, but I'm recovering my truck in February... the batteries are good now, and the seller is happy to let me winterize her any way I wish. Can with wire capping the exhaust.... fuel additive and fresh diesel, I was going to run her with the fresh/additive enhanced fuel...

Imagine how many raw materials could be reclaimed by a well structured refinery.... raw mixed waste in one end... ingots of metal, activated charcoal, and diesel out the other. It isn't tough if you think of it one step at a time. I would predict we will be mining landfills in our lifetimes...

Somewhat by natural processes, but more to the point by man made ones... Thermal Depolymerization - YouTube Think about WWII. We couldn't stop the Germans from making oil and gas, because when you get down to the chemistry of making small hydrocarbons from big long hydrocarbons, it really...

Oil is produced by heat and pressure acting on organic matter. There is no shortage, and never will be as long as we know how to grow algae and build glorified pressure cookers. Not much in this world is "irreplaceable".

Total left field here... Did you check the engine shut-down? Check the manual and see if it looks like it has seated, and is attached internally as it should be. I forget what thread it was, but someone mentioned they had one with an issue. Wish I could be more precise with the link...

The pump would make the power, the pistons and the turbos would keep the engine alive while it did so... Logical.

My logic on the turbos is this... Any one of the 3 are capable of boost exceeding the engines ability to handle... 25psi+ I don't believe there is a significant difference in exhaust restriction/flow, barring the wastegate which would simply allow for more boost at low RPM levels without...

Don't get me wrong... if someone can produce pure ethanol at a cost low enough to make it competitive, there should be nothing standing in their way. I'm saying mandated blends are a payoff. If the market can't support it, it isn't functional. If you choose to run it, have weighed the...

Because the fine print on those ads requires verification most owners of said older cars wouldn't have even if they knew about the offers. I've been in automotive for over 10 years and this is the first I've ever heard of it. Ethanol makes farmers and the chemists cash in subsidies and...

Gasoline Expiration - Ethanol Blend Fuels Have a Short Shelf Life Here you go.... I suppose you could always buy 20 gallons of E10... mix in 5 gallons of water and then skim the gasoline off the top after you let the water/alcohol separate out. Then a series of water separators...

But then how could ADM, and the large corn producers afford to bribe the politicians and regulators? You sure are silly...

It's the water the alcohol attracts, as well as the reaction it has to some coatings and seals that's causing issues. Boat engines are getting it the worst. Sadly, I don't have much to offer by way of neutralizing/filtering the Alcohol and still saving the gas. Try to keep the tank brimming...

Make friends with the local gun clubs, the local VFW/Boy Scout troops, and volunteer fire departments... a petition or a few letters might carry some weight. Then, you need to have whatever legal help you have work with you in crafting a letter to the Attorney General of the State, and ask for...

I just checked back 3 pages and didn't see me mention the water injection... I talk about it enough in that thread I may have slipped and polluted this one. If so, my apologies. I'm going to try getting the baseline, and then follow the LDS troubleshooting manual with my LDT. That's all...

The problem is, the phones accelerometer isn't reliable, sensitive, or consistent enough... I know mine isn't.

For that much money invested, you could just drop in a DT466 out of a schoolbus and crank it to the moon.

Really? The thread is asking the question of what the differences are. We are trying to isolate the ones that matter, from the ones that don't. If you think you have a better way to find out what the hp/lb-ft differences are with each step of the transformation... by all means, enlighten us. I...
