I have to turn in a compare/contrast essay for English class. I decided to do my topic on Similarities and differences of the Diesel and Gasoline engines. This is what I have come up with so far SIMILARATIES-Both are DI engines-Both use the 4 stroke cycle principle-Both fuels hold lubricating properties to prevent internal parts wear DIFFERENCE-Ignition-Compression-Emissions-Refining process of fuel These are just points and need to write out my supporting sentences. I feel like I am leaving a few things out that I havent thought of yet. Can anyone give me more ideas?

So, I just bought some of these uncommon tires.. Thought I'd share some info on them. Review of the Federal Couragia M/T Tires The Federal Couragia MT tires are a good tire for the money if you are in the market for a semi aggressive tread design that offers above average traction in various conditions offroad will still maintaining a mostly quiet ride on the paved roads. The tread design offers good mud traction with the a combination of large, stepped and siped lugs spaced out by voids large enough to assist with the self cleaning of mud and debris. Aired down the 3-ply sidewalls flex good. Incorporated into the sidewalls are protected by a extra rubber compound o…

Its so nice to have a good running truck again.

If you do, hit me up. I usually play after 7pm Eastern, until 11p-12a sometimes.. but not every night. most, but not every. It's my "wind-down" time, believe it or not. Once the wife and kids go to bed, I fire it up. I only really play: [*]Call of Duty: World At War 1.16:1 KDR [*]Call of Duty: Black Ops 1.04:1 KDR [*]Battlefield2: Bad Company 2 4.47:1 KDR (I'm a snipin' mofo in this one..) [*]and other military oriented FPS shooters. gamertag: rogan68

It's Tuesday right?

I got my wires soldered to the IAT extension harness. It was very frustrating. Nothing wrong with the tools or the work... just my friggin' MSed up hands!! I kept dropping things, pliers, solder, hot soldering iron (fortunately the hot tip missed my leg)... and when I held them I couldn't manipulate them as I needed to. I ended up propping the soldering iron on the bench, twisting the wires together as best I could... clamping them with forcepts & taking the work to the heat. I've not done much soldering in quite a few years. I KNOW how... It's just so discouraging to not be able to do something I used to be able to do. Russ

What oil filter do you use? Do you have a bypass? If you use more than one kind, list your preffered filter. Trying to see what's the most common. If you use a Stratpore LF3894 just select the LF16035. If you use a Hastings LF608 just select Baldwin BT7349. Here is the data I have on the filters listed.

Hey guys and Gals would you mind voting on this? http://forum.mopar1973man.com/threads/3684-Trailer-Towing-Forum

Well today I hauled a load for a friend and had a stressful encounter with a DOT. After we got the issue settled I pulled in at the cardlock for fuel and in my befuddled mindset I put 16.5 gallons of GASOLINE:cookoo: The nozzle kicked out and I thought it bubbled kind of funny in the filler pipe so for some reason I smelled the end of the nozzle:cry: That's when I turned around and saw the big GASOLINE word on the bowzer. Luckily the hose from the airdog to the ip was long enough to reach into my empty slip tank in the bed of my truck. I just put a jumper wire in the pump relay plug and let er pump all that conction out and into my slip tank. The other good thing is no…

Ok I just have to rub it in a little. Going to Cummins this morning and just thought as I was making the corner. We have Freightliner on one corner and straight across the street is Cummins, down from that is Lone Star Brake & Clutch two blocks down the road is Austin Fuel Injection a full service injection Bosch Reman, another block down and over is International of Austin and then its Lunford Equip around the corner from that, one mile from there is Austin Drive Train. How lucky can you get?

....Your new Electronics Engineer Technologist. Did all the paperwork and got registered for my Bachelors. I'm very excited and thought, why not spread the word. I do plan and hope to obtains a scrap VP44 control module and tear into that as a future project for the class. It'll be quite interesting in figuring out the logic behind the unit's circuitry, I think.Well, thanks people!

I produced a video this morning of me plowing out the driveway. But here is the trick I added a 1 second time lapse to the video so every second the camera shot 1 frame of video it takes 30 frames to make a normal second. So this short 2 minute video is what it took me about 1 hour to do. The lag at the begining is me leaving to the neighbor house and getting his ATV and plow and doing his place first. Here you go... Then a walk in the yard to show you more... Then a time lapse of the sky from 12 noon to sunset.

when you are in deep $h!t, look straight ahead, keep your mouth shut & say nothing.
