Wow. Hang in there.

Older photo already done. Even Armor-All'ed the dash.

Yeah at this point I'm more or less gotta put Minnie away for the winter other than running to Riggins, ID maybe. It getting cold by Wednesday and will be +17*F for a evening temperature here. Yeah I'm moved over to running the diesel trucks. As for this scare of diesel running out I really doubt it will happen being Jet A and diesel are very close in design. Then Gasoline will always be produced with a by product of diesel. I'm stocked up here with food, supplies, and diesel fuel. Cold morning here at 27*F above but by Wednesday it will be starting out as low as +17*F. I see you all... Yup I can see who is on and where they come from...

Damn internet is slow today really slow. 3 second video that takes 5 minutes to download enough to even see it happen. That is really cool!

Back in the 70's the old 1976 Dodge Jamboree I had had the pin alignment for the wheels and the stem were required to be 180 out from each other and the pin ensured that it happened. That was back with steel wheels and 16.5 inch tires.

The ol' Cummins bear hug to change the return line seals. Yes removing the valve cover works just a we bit better being you will have a bit more room to reach down with big paws. Sad to say I've got big hands and some thing just are hell for me to do but I still do them.

I love going to dry camping places if possible. Prices for renting a piece of dirt and a little power is ridiculous. I'm already solar powered just need two new house batteries. Like the last place @Honey Badger and I went and camped was in the middle of nowhere, no fees, dry camping and we did just fine.

Today the family went out to Red Ridge near McCall and were shooting our firearms. AR's, AK's, 50 cal rifle, etc. I even pulled out my Fire Star did rather well with my 9mm. Cold out, little snow but not bad at all. Had a camp fire, food and friends and family enjoying our time together. Of course I had Beast out there and played a little bit in the snow. The truck is still a muddy mess on the body.

Thanks for the review. Thanks @Genos Garage for supplying the members here.

Oregon is just a 2 hour ride away for me. I can be in Ontario OR pretty quick. Let me know I might consider that next spring.

Myself, been busy between working on the server here, trying to get the new store set up. Then my girlfriend @Honey Badger has a family reunion going on tonight we're she has both son here at the house. Tomorrow is birthday party for her youngest here. We will have all the family here at 5pm for a dinner and cake.

I'm still running a stock exhaust manifold with stock HX35W turbo (54/60/12) with 150 HP DAP injectors (7 x 0.010) popped at 320 bar. No flow issues, no EGT issues either. My normal cruising EGTs are about 550°F at 65 MPH @ 1,975 RPMs. Engine oil temp is even low at 158°F to 165°F, Beast, doesn't create heat anywhere. I do not see the need for manifolds either intake or exhaust maybe up past 600 HP I would consider maybe thinking of it. But right at 500 HP Nope. I've towed my RV from Idaho to the mountains of California, no heat issues. Then been on a road trip to Seattle WA. That trip cleared 300 miles just a quarter tank getting to the Idaho state line. Flow isn't the issue, bigger issue is proper setup and tuning goes much farther than throwing a bunch of parts trying to fix heat issues.

Common Sense is no longer common, it's rather rare.

1,100°F is best. 1,200 to 1,250°F is OK but your coolant temp will rise. Still exceptable but gotta keep an eye on coolant temps. Now I can push past on wiretap levels for extra power. But limit to just seconds, on a quick pass.

Sad part is the motors usually hold up but the plastic gears dont.

Corrrect. The high idle has to be turned on by either dealer or Smart S-03 programmer. The high idle switch just gives control of the high idle.

No real gains for intake mods unless your making big HP. Even with nearly everything stock I've managed to reduce EGTs super low. Even with stock HX35W turbo and 150 HP injectors. You'll get more results out of proper final ratio and good timing.

Problem is that 82% of user are on Smart Phones. The darker theme is less draining on batteries and better visual effect on a smart phone. There is only 16% of members using a desktop computer so I've got to lean towards the direction of the majority of users. Then as for that 82% of mobile users 62% are iPhone users which tend to eat battery power more so that like my Samsung (which is only 1%) of the pool. Yeah I've got to look toward what is used more so that what I personally like... So trying to design around majority of members and what they use.

I've seen down to as low as -30*F here in Idaho during the last 5 years of MoparMom life while I was doing the dialysis runs back in forth in the winters. No issues with running or starting. Typically the coldest spot is New Meadows, ID.

Might want to add them to the vendors directory.

Kind of like looking at water it will freeze solid at 32°F but now if you add salt to the water the freeze point will fall depending on the amount of salt. Same with diesel fuel what I get is roughly around -20°F so if your adding 2 cycle oil with a pour point of -50°F it should start to pull the pour point down depending on the mixture ratio your using.

Yeah I'm going to release a update to my Econo tune soon. I'm trying to get some test data but it tough with the change of season and change of winterized diesel in the valley.

Snowmobile 2 Cycle Oil typically has a pour point of -50°F will hold gelling back too. I don't use any cetane boosters, or anti-gel products at all.

Gear case is just grey silicone. Your going to need a front crank seal. I've done several gear case reseal, grey silicone works really well and normally last quite a while.
