  1. Hex what you charge for a pair of moccasins? Leather sole or ?? I like the classic Indian style. Pm me.
  2. Sounds like a great buisness opertunity to me. Cut in a nearby state haul in then sell it. A nice big trailer. Could work...
  3. careful as it'll take the wax off a painted surface quick. and might leave it dull. so maybe after you clean it wax it.
  4. how about denatured alcohol? it's much cheaper then rubbing alcohol.
  5. thanks. of these Ponderosa Pine forests Mixed Conifer Forest Spruce-Fir or Subalpine Conifer Forest what would you go after. as half the mountain on the east side burned. darn it not all of the txt pasted in... Ponderosa Pine forests — The elevation of ths zone ranges from approximately 6,000 to 8,500 feet (1,800 to 2,600 m) above sea-level. The dominant tree species is the Southwestern Ponderosa Pine (Pinus brachyptera Engelm.). Gambel oak (Quercus gambelii) is a common associate of the ponderosa pine at lower elevations in the forest along with New Mexico locust (Robina neomexicana). At higher elevations, associates include southwestern white pine (Pinus strobiformis), Rocky Mountain Douglas-fir, (Pseudotsuga menziesii var. glauca), Rocky Mountain white fir (Abies concolor var. concolor), and Quaking Aspen (Populus tremuloides). The average annual amount of precipitation in this zone is 18 to 26 inches (460 to 660 mm). Mixed conifer forest — The elevation of this zone ranges from approximately 8,000 to 9,500 feet (2,400 to 2,900 m) above sea-level. Species such as Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii var. glauca), White Fir (Abies concolor), Limber Pine (Pinus flexilis var. reflexa), Blue Spruce (Picea pungens), and less commonly Southwestern White Pine (Pinus flexilis) form mixed stands in this community, with Ponderosa Pine (Pinus brachyptera Engelm.) joining the mix on warmer slopes. The average annual amount of precipitation in the mixed conifer forest is 25 to 30 inches (640 to 760 mm). Subalpine conifer forest — The elevation of this zone varies from approximately 9,500 to 11,500 feet (2,900 to 3,500 m) feet above sea-level. The dominant tree species of this zone are Englemann Spruce (Picea engelmannii subsp. engelmannii), Corkbark Fir (Abies lasiocarpa var. arizonica), Quaking Aspen (Populus tremuloides) and the Rocky Mountain Bristlecone Pine (Pinus aristata).[10] The average annual amount of precipitation in the subalpine forest is 30 to 40 inches (760 to 1,020 mm). Alpine tundra — The San Francisco Peaks are the home of the only alpine tundra environment in Arizona, occupying 1,200 acres (4.9 km2) above 10,600 feet (3,200 m).[11][12] Only a few small herbaceous plants have established themselves in the tundra. One of these species, is the endemic and threatened San Francisco Peaks groundsel (Packera franciscana), which is found nowhere else in the world.[13][14][15] The average annual amount of precipitation in the tundra is 35 to 40 inches (890 to 1,020 mm). gimme ideas what the best to go after.
  6. Mike, is that tree dry enough to burn this year? or do you split n let it dry for a year or so? we had a nasty forest fire here a few year back and can go get some wood next year, miles n miles of fer, i do not know what kind of fer though. i thikn spruce also. i usually burn 1 1/2 cord aspen, 1-2 alligator juniper, 1-2 dry oak. we have to let the oak sit for a year or two before it dry enough to burn. and that's with it being dead n down before gathering it. Im not a fan of Pine. mostly ponderosa, very pitchy and really makes cleaning the pipe 3-4 times a season a PITB!.
  7. Thanks mopar, wouldn't I be making oil if tubes are loose? I'm at 196k valve lash was gonna happen at 200k guess early won't hurt. Thanks again.
  8. I don't think is a problem with the smarty, I think it's my truck but I'm not sure where to start looking.
  9. Not sure I know of Brian's forum, Any thoughts on what to check on the truck?
  10. i use a socket the size of the u-joint cap and one big enough for the cap to go into. then into the vise it goes. easy to press them in and out. if they still have the factory plastic then take a torch n heat em till it melts then they press out easy. the new ones will have c clips.
  11. i sure thank you for the information guys. this place has been a major help. thanks again.
  12. Mines 12.5, at 12 it's halfway down the safe zone. The smarty does give me more power, today I towed my trailer, I did notice a difference there. Mid rpm 2k-2800 was more responsive towing.
  13. i wonder if my altitude 7000 ft, has an effect. i found http://www.thedieselgarage.com/forums/showthread.php?t=538 maybe i'm reading it wrong. and my oil capacity is different. mine uses 12.5 qt. i think there is a lot of misinformation around the interwebs. http://www.ehow.com/list_7608242_oil-specifications-dodge-ram-cummins.html once switching to syn you cant go back to dyno? BS.
  14. yes the LP works. i can hear it run when i cycle the key. it's in tank. but it is very quiet. i'll try n find the way to measure it tonight and maybe tomorrow after it stops raining i can get a flow measurement. i went to the cat 2um filter a few months ago 7800 miles, maybe i should go back to the FS1000.
  15. i just change my filters friday. i have not checked LP pressure or flow. i'll reset the settings to stock software 3 tomorrow morning. by the way truck as almost 200K on it. i'm unsure of the replacement of any parts.
  16. it's a 305 HP. or 04 HO. i know i'm not stressing the trans much. i'm well seasoned enough to know better. i'm very easy with my right foot. when i first accelerate from a stop weather i ease into it or stomp on it. it does not smoke. it does run a little harder mid to upper rpm. not the low end grunt smartys are known for. what's my next step.?
  17. i have to add some to the making sure you have propane and fuel for generators. please make sure you have plenty of bottled water, and enough food rations for at least 2 weeks. i've seen the store shelves EMPTY here ina few hours all cuz they were calling for a 1' snow. people are not wise enough in mass groups to be rational. most people i interact with ona simi regular basis buy food for 1-3 day at a time. they cant seem to plan a week or two a head. i watched the town get shut down and the people around where i live melting snow for drinking water. as the pipes had frozen.
  18. http://youtu.be/jSkhV6N-qxQ maybe this will help.
  19. Thanks for the thoughts AH64ID, I did update to latest software, I am loading it correctly right now it sw7 tq3 tm2 rp2 It changes things but not like I expected. It doesn't set you back in the seat like my 02 with an edge on 3 would. The trans is not slipping, again it never puffs black smoke not even a little... I think I have a fueling issue. But maybe not. Idk.
  20. i'm not a fan of the rolling coal. but i did expect to see some when driving and loading the engine before the turbo spools. i don't get any black smoke. i do have a flow through muffler. i can barely get a puff of the black stuff. the video was SW9 from what youtube and other people have told me it should belch black smoke. mine does not. does anyone have advise on what i should start checking? thanks again.
  21. agreed! as per the farmers almanac it should be a colder longer winter for us. we are already gettin the cold nip in the air here in AZ. (7000 ft) i have about 4 cords split and another 1.5 ready to be. still need another truck of aspen before i'm good for the winter. i just installed my engine block heater cord yesterday and changed oil to 5/40 syn. i'm excited i love the winter time.

  23. Still no thoughts for me to check. Bum deal
  24. mine says when you plug it in 03-07
