Here is a awesome article on rotational mass and its effects. http://hpwizard.com/rotational-inertia.html

Up here Tamarack (or Larch) is considered Platinum wood up here. The Gold is Redfir. Me I grab anything close to the road that I can cut up and load in my trailer without busting too much tail to get it. If I got to work excessively them there is no need to even try. There is so much fire kill wood its just stupid to pass up Alpine fir and Spruce which is considered Silver grade. So I've just got to haul home a bit extra to make it through the winter so what.

You can now start pre-ordering... http://www.dieselautopower.com/product_p/high-idle-switch-98-02-cubby.htm http://www.dieselautopower.com/product_p/high-idle-switch-98-02-gauge.htm

... or take it out for a ride on a long straight and allow it to come to stop on it own. Rolling to a stop and then carefully reach in and check all the rotor temp by touch. The warm on usually is the dragging caliper.

Yeah talk to ISX he's the family guru for 12V stuff. As for the 5th gear nut I'm also a 5 speed owner as well and no issues with 5th gear nut now and 222k miles and still rolling. This includes heavy hauling mountain driving too.

Woke up this morning to a fogged in yard and temps down to 37*F. If it was raining at all I know when the fog lifts there will be snow on the mountain sides.

Damn Bear got my Macintosh apples last night what few where left on the tree.

Hey gang...Does anyone have any secrets to the ABS on the 2008 Dodge? What I got is the Fire Chief with his truck where the ABS pump is actually pumping up the brakes till they are smoking without ever touching the brake pedal. He's only got about 59k on the clock. Dealer is over 100 miles away and they want it to look at. But he want to just fix the issue with the long journey. So so anyone got some clues for my Chief?

Heck... I just had my fire meeting tonight and it rain the entire evening after sun down. :cry:You get to see a bit of snow on the highest peaks around here. (7k feet and above).

Yes sir... Take a peek at Weatherspark...

Maybe it would better yet to cut "Diesel" out the door with a IR Camera and watch the entertainment. "Diesel" has been clocked at about 30-35 MPH at a flat out run. I think this fat bear would be no challenge to him. Like my fire chief said let him run "Diesel" would tree him most likely. Meat for the freezer and rug for the living room.

Check this out.

Common. I see this from people buying new calipers and then leaving the dirty old brake fluid in the master cylinder and then the debris settles again into the bottom of the caliper. The only way to fix is to disassemble the calipers, clean and re-assemble.I've heard of the brake hose thing but never seen one yet.Now. I've just got a phone call from my Fire Chief with his 6.7L Cummins finally did something weird. Long story short the Chief's truck decided to start pumping up the brakes not with the hydro-booster but with the ABS brake pump. Really weird but after un-hooking the brakes returned to normal again.

Got a fresh video coming... This of a normal work day for me working on diesel in the local area. Just another good view of the area I live in.

Since Sept. 20th. It been a max of 55-60*F during the day but at night 42-45*F we already got snow in the high country. (>6k feet)

Suggestion. Move it back to the rear diff cover you'll never break the light while hitching up then.

My AirDog 150 was back in the day when the original owner was still producing. But now AirDog quality has slid downhill. Way to many problems with air leaks, fitting problems, mounting issues, etc. Now if you where to build your own mounting bracket from steel like old school and ditch all the hoses and fitting and got a roll of parker hose and Push-Loc JIC fitting most of the problems would be solved. I'm not in pressed with Raptors or AD 165 adjustable regulator. Wat too much to fail. Old school AD 100/150's are very stable.

Heck... My cheapy propane Weber BBQ $25 is just chrome plated steel and it lasted 3 years so far. Getting rather ugly now.

LEDs are cool lighting but expensive. :spend:I truly wonder how long the wheel well light are going to last or work with all the debris flung by the tires and the mud and dirt that will stick to the lights?

Like our instructor said most of the time the high voltage stuff is in the center of the vehicle and could be any bright colored wire (Yellow, Orange, etc.) It now a standard for orange to be used but early years there wasn't so be aware. Also a note a "standard set" of bolt cutters will not be able to even open bigger enough to cut high voltage lines.

Yes. Basically take the smart key and get it away from the vehicle after its shut off. You could cut battery power to it (FD dept policy?) But if the battery bank catches fire the say to let it burn. As for extrication on a hybrid vehicle same peel and peek is required for air bags and work as usual just being careful and cautious.

Hold on a sec. Blower motor ground is in the cab at the driver side kick panel as well as the headlight switch ground. This would also cover the ground for instrument panel as well.

I think that is key to the trans flushing is getting the pan off and changing the filter and adjusting the bands.

LOL. Kind of like the river running across the road from me which is the Little Salmon River we call it the Little Salmon Sewer being its nothing but cow pi$$ and cow crap from in New Meadows washing its way down the canyon. As for my creek water its clean enough I use it for drinking water in the RV on many times. I'm not worried. Either that or the well water which comes out of the ground too. Both very clean. As for my cooling system reason I'm not having issues is my change intervals. since most all fluid are called to be replace every 30k miles I change coolant at this time as well, flush the block, change the thermostat, etc. I'm just about due for another change anyways about 2k away.
