Wood hauling out here is a very common business... I got a guy on the local sherriff's dept that is trying to hook up on a 50 cord wood sale that is $350 bucks a cord but it got to be split and hauled to Coeur D'Alene, ID from Riggins, ID... Hmmm... It might be worth it...

Here is another one... http://forum.mopar1973man.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1523&d=1281495597 The log pile to tthe right is 4 foot lengths and that pile is 1 cord exactly... It measured 8 x 8 x 2 = 128 cubic feet on the trailer... http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKzDIK6oUwQ Second half shows the wood on the trailer... My other favorite pics... Any call a Cummins Skidder??? Another great haul on a green spring day... (Nice and Green!)

Check the vendor pile out.. http://mopar.mopar1973man.com/cummins/dealers/dealers.htm DieselAutoPower.com is usually the cheapest...

You know I might have to run down to Kuna and play with your toyz with you...

Nice truck and good repair job too!

That is plumb scary... I would never trust any lift pump to go below the Dodge /Cummins Specs... Then like AH64ID points out my gauge... You want to stay in the green...

Yeap... sad but true... P1688 is a VP44 death code for the electronics...

Yea... You so right...

Yeap it looks stock to me...

Not uncommon to have the fuel gauge showe better than a half tank and run dry on you... Almost happen to me... My fuel pressure gauge bouncing around was the clue that I was starting to run out... So... [*]Put 10 gallons of fuel in the Tank [*]Reprime the system [*]Check your fuel pressure..

Being the slope of the roof and everything but a cord is 4 X 4 X 8 = 128 Cubic feet... Each row is roughly 128 cubic feet as long as I get it stack to the top...

Kind of hard to do when the US don't have any industry left... It all been moved to foreign countries... Give you an idea... Here is a large normal city like Denver Co. Now here is Detroit, MI... Now you can clearly see that Detriot is got a lot of vacant ground and all the big 3 auto builder are gone for the most part. I got a old high school friend living with his grandmother in Detroit and he calls me off and on and his comments is jobs are hard to find and pay very little...

No pottery kiln... That is only half of my winter firewood... I burn right around 7-9 cords a season. The last pic of the wood shed that holds 12 cords to the last post or 15 cords at the roofs edge... Last winter I used 8 cords... The ATV has my 20 ton splitter hooked the the back so I got to do is back it into place and get busy... The pile now is a total of about 8 hours of work and 1 1/2 tanks of fuel on the splitter... Doing the math on the winter heating... It cost me about $35-40 a cord to get so say $40 times 8 equals $320 bucks for the whole winter... One year shortly after my Dad's death I took a short cut and used a electric heater in the guest house and it was right around $200 a month in electric to heat. (Now figure a main house at double square footage and nightly low at 0*F for a low) So wood is much cheaper in the long run... Neighbor is heating with propane at $2.49 and hes got to reload the tank twice a winter... Ekkk! Central what???

Hmmm... Here in Idaho it like $1,000 dollar per gallon fine... So for a 35 gallon tank it would be at least $35,000 fine... Ugh!

Well here is a few pics of the firewood pile I've been working on splitting... My somewhat empty wood shed... Each row is a cord...

I'll test that out tomorrow I got a A/C job to do so when I run out I'll test both ways...

Few things to look at... [*]Battery connections [*]Starter contacts [*]Solenoid fuse [*]Solenoid relay [*]Solenoid wiring [*]Starter brushes Here is a handy way to test for wiring issues... http://mopar.mopar1973man.com/cummins/general/voltage-drop/voltage-drop.htm

Not bad... We need to see pics of this wonder work of yours...

Yes... P0380 or P0382... It can detect a open circuit... P0380 Intake Air Heater Relay #1 Control Circuit Problem detected in #1 air heater solenoid/relay circuit (not heater element) P0382 Intake Air Heater Relay #2 Control Circuit Problem detected in #2 air heater solenoid/relay circuit (not heater element) That why I disconnect the positive lead going to the grid heater supply...

Problem is some has to create a better battery... Or... Produce a better fuel with more BTU's... So far everything anyone has done as far a alternate fuels (biofuels) has always produce a fuel that is 10-20% less BTU value requires more fuel to do the same distance or work. Then on top of it the price for these "Biofuels" happen to be higher than standard petroluem fuels... (Double loss)... There is lot of option out there for AC power but as for vehicle power well there isn't much options...

Interesting... I might actually be a good idea for losing weight too.. (Empty calories)

Ummm... ISX how about dispose of the lead acid batteries? How about the replace price of them? The batteries cost nearly as much as the car does... I figure the biofuel craze will come to close now...

Yeap they go from tiny cute furniture eating monster to big oversize lazy dogs...

Oh gawd... I shut my mouth now...

Nice find! You should add that to the download library for other to find!
