    Deep in the Heart of Texas, a Chinese Wind Farm Raises Eyebrows

    Hmm. Seems fraud & cheating are considered “democratic” and now I’m essentially a Dictator too, in spite of 3 decades of trying to help people and hundreds of success stories/testimonies, all flushed down the drain now because of my skin color but yet I’m the racist...and a Dictator...and it’s...

    Working the pains off (something to read).

    I can tell you first hand that it won’t heal itself, it will only get better with surgery (unfortunately). A couple of years ago I had the same injury and had surgery 5 months later. The surgery went great, 3 months of physical therapy and the surgically-repaired shoulder feels better than the...

    Just skin the tank to look like something else, and a little more pleasing to your wife’s eyes.....Pinterest comes to mind for ideas.

    New higher-flow air filters should definitely help.

    Questions about best route to escape Oregon right before Thanksgiving:

    Yeah I’ve got a Michelin 16.00x20 you can have if you pick it up, in Cedar City UT. I should be home around Nov 1st/2nd, and nothing planned through Nov/Dec.

    Questions about best route to escape Oregon right before Thanksgiving:

    I-10 will beat you & your vehicles to death across New Mexico. If you drive across I-84 through Oregon & Idaho down into Utah, I’ve driven it this year through snow storms (going to OR & WA for work contracts) and not only are the roads very very good but the snow removal is excellent. I...

    Stupidity at its Finest

    ABS does, in fact, increase stopping distances. The early attempts in the 1970s were fraught with problems, but once these were ironed out and became standard across the board by the 1990s it worked well. The whole purpose of Anti-Lock Brakes (NOT “Automatic Braking System” as some believe) is...

    need hemtt Detroit Diesel 8v92ta mechanic near Sacramento

    For priming the fuel system, I’ve used compressed air in the past but prefer using an inexpensive 12V inline fuel pump instead, plumbed between fuel tank & primary filter. As soon as you hear fuel being returned to the tank you can remove the pump and reconnect the fuel fittings, or like I did...

    need hemtt Detroit Diesel 8v92ta mechanic near Sacramento

    I have them but I am working out of state for who knows how long.... It’s cheaper and easier to just buy them & have them on hand when you need them. The part I’ve had the hardest time finding was the Governor Gap gauge (.200 wedge), had to pay $$$ for a Bosch unit as the KM was just not...

    need hemtt Detroit Diesel 8v92ta mechanic near Sacramento

    The attached Operator’s Guide should help; it specifies an appropriate ethylene-glycol based coolant; I would stay with a low-silicate GREEN coolant, as the newer orange or pink coolants may have adverse effects on cooling system components in older motors. There is a Supplemental Cooling...

    Horsepower

    I assume you didn’t buy your truck brand-new from the manufacturer, so it is 30-35 years old already. Even if it was supposedly “rebuilt” by a government contractor, many items that don’t appear to be needing replacement will be left on the chassis during the “rebuild.” There are numerous...
