Wild and Free

Well "O" has had the EPA admin in overdrive the last couple months secretly to draft laws to shut down the Coal industry as he promised and was going to have it crammed through before the end of his term had he not been reelected but regaurdless it is coming and now less than 24 hours after his reelection has already touted his implementation of the Carbon tax. Not only has he bankrupted the country he is going to bankrupt the rest of us through energy costs only the 1% will be able to afford.

That is for the timing, Copied from the manual below. Injection Timing The Timing selection can be programmed 1 - Stock, 2 - Wild, 3 - Advanced (less than #2) or 4 - Moderate (less than #3). With the Default timing setting, Smarty chooses it according to the current CaTCHER level. I am wanting to know about the TQ management adjustments, Copied from the manual below Torque The Torque selection can be programmed 1 - Stock, 2 - Mild, 3 - Soft (less than #2) or 4 - Light (less than #3). So which one is the most aggressive?

Loaded it up today on sw#1 all default settings to try. The engine is noticably quieter overall and has a lot less timing clatter or pinging at idle. Seems to be a lot more "Peppy" that the old tune also. I will leave it here for a couple tanks of fuel to see if I notice any mileage differences.A question on the Tourque management settings. Is stock #1 the most agressive or is #4 more aggressive or how ever goofy as hell they try to explain it ?Something must get really messed up in the Italalian to English translation/description of things when describing 1-4 settings in timing and TM.

Why choose between the lesser of two evils when there were 6 people on the presidential ticket one of which would have been a very good choice. Gary Johnson got my vote. Lew Rockwell makes some good points today on the subject. http://www.infowars.com/gop-in-deep-trouble-ron-paul-looking-good/

I was running the original Smarty JR tune from about 5-6 years ago. I ran with it on level 3 almost all of the time, gave the best milage there. Even level 2 was better milage than level 1 which was supposed to be the milage tune. - - - Updated - - - What have you found to be the best settings on your rig for overall power for towing and milage? I realize you have engine mods that will affect this.

I have been adding updates to the post above, it seems to be working. Thanks for walking me though this tough time in my life. I couldn't have done it without ya, I luv ya man! Lol 8 minutes to go and counting............................... We did it! Thank you for the help!!!!!!!!!

Yes 7zip is installed. I will give it a go in a couple minutes here after I finish my breakfast. Shift work is awesome, at least I keep telling myself that lol. - - - Updated - - - Ok here is where my trouble comes in, I searched my computer and I found several different 7 zip files all with a little different names on my c drive. But when I try to right click on the smarty update file that looks like an adobe file I do not get a 7zip option. Update #2, I was messing around in my c drive and deleted one 7 zip and repaired and reset another and now I get the 7 zip option when opening the file...............Here we go. Update #3, well things were not quite as described and is happening like it did on my 02 smarty. nothing ever looks the same or has the same sequence as described but it is erasing my smarty memory and shows 12 minutes so hopefully it is working.

OK thanks, Got the first 2 downloaded, now how do I "unzip" the first one? Got to start with the basics here. I have 7-zip downloaded and I already had adobe reader on my pc. When I find the USB exe file it doesn't appear to be a zipped file, could it have been unzipped automatically during download?

I for the life of me can't figure out how to update my old smarty jr from the Madds web site.I have downloaded the files and 7zip "about 10 times and I don't have a clue what I am looking at" and have plugged in my smarty to my pc and it shows a popup stating the drivers are installed and it goes away and I get nothing but now what?I get no prompts or nothing, what do I do? Do I run the files or save them? I always save them. Am I supposed to download all 4 tool files on the site, I just picked the newest one date wise?:think:The site gives a good breakdown of what to do if you have windows xp but I have windows 7 and it just dead ends me at every turn.I went through this same thing with my smarty on my 02, took me almost all day and got it by accident and never did know what I finally did.Help me please.:banghead::banghead::banghead:I am off to work now before I throw my pc and smarty in the trash due to frustration.:banghead::mad:

Hot shots do very well here in ND for oil companies who need parts ASAP. Many many new companies have popped up doing this and are doing very well.There are many new oil and gas shale plays about to go gangbusters around the country where this sort of business would be a win win for those willing to give it a go.

He has offered a 5 million charitable contribution for something that has been sought after for years and that is Obamas College and passport application records. If it is like the Birth certificate the govmint will probably hire the same 10 year old to forge those as well. Some one else Apparently has info stating the prez and first lady had a rocky marriage and were close to filing for divorce a while back, not sure if this one is true or not. Trump is a Blow hard looking for more media attention, probably wants to start another retarded reality show to keep the sheeple brain dead.:banghead: http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=MgOq9pBkY0I

The only down side to this story is that he is still breathing! :banghead: http://www.infowars.com/12-year-old-exercises-second-amendment-when-i-saw-the-door-handle-turn-i-shot-him/

Around here Stihl is the king of the hill, every corner store is a Stihl dealer of some sorts and there are more service centers as a result. There are not nearly as many Husky dealers and most stores who sell them do not offer service for them so you have to find an authorized service center for them adding to the headache if you bought a new one and needed warranty work or need non typical parts.

That is great info too John, that one skipped my mind but he would have to drop the pan to tell.

New Bar, chain and tune up are worth half that, I would take it.

Not quite that old school! - - - Updated - - - Ribs and Brisket are the waste cuts of meat, what doesn't get ground into burger goes to the dogs. I am not a fan of BBQ in general. I like my meat straight up Medium Rare with basic spices. We Never smoked any beef though, we always home smoked and cured our own pork hams and bacon and country sausage. Also smoke deer sausage all cold smoked with apple wood "The best by far"and or Hickory wood chips, have tried mesquite a few times but it can get overpowering if used alone.

Yep pretty tough by looking at it, one can pull the small cover off the bottom of the flywheel housing and see if the converter is painted or plain metal. If it is painted it is an aftermarket. Other than that shift points and shift firmness are an indicator but unless you are very familiar with a specific truck it would be hard to know.

I perfer cold smoked meat myself. Not a fan of having my meat already half cooked via the smoking process. I grew up old school, Butcher shops are required to take it up to a certain temp for a set length of time which basically cooks it already. Dam Government regs:doh:.Growing up it was a sin to cut up a beef carcass before it hung for a couple weeks and aged, if it was not covered in natural molds to help tenderize and flavor it you wasted an animal.

The fuel doesn't atomize correctly and it more so squirts fuel onto a spot on the piston and melts holes in it. I see this almost monthly on our large mine truck engines.

It all originates with the eliteists and the United Nations propaganda and rolls down from there. Research into adgenda 21, It will explain a lot. The John Birch society is a god start. http://www.jbs.org/ This is also a great site about Adgenda 21. http://www.freedomadvocates.org/

,Thanks Mike, it wasn't even on the tip of my tongue.

One other thing that was told to me was that as you sharpen the chain teeth back they get shorter and you must grind the little thingy down inbetween the teeth or it will be higher than the teeth as they wear down and back.

If you hand sharpen the chains you will almost surely get the same curved cut, I have tried a lot of types of elcheapo sharpening tools but it was explained to me that everybody has a prodominent hand and will always get one edge sharper than the other the way we file. After watching him go through the motions and he had me do it he showed me exactly why it was happening.I now take mine to town and spend the $4 each to have them sharpened on a machine, well worth the money. I usually have about 6-8 chains in circulation during wood season.I cut the stumps off at ground level and that kills chains in a heartbeat with even the slightest amount of dirt. I usually get all my cutting I am going to do and end the day with ground level stup cutting with my duller chains just before they go in for a sharpening.Pawn shops are a super place to get great used saws on the cheap. There are always Stihl's and Husqvarnas there at least in my neck of the woods.A lot of equipment rental places are always rotating out old used stuff and these places are good to look at also as the equipment has been maintained fairly well.I have had a Stihl 036 pro for about 14 years and it has been a super saw for me. It has a 20" blade but can handle up to a 36" if so desired. I like the pro series as they have high performance engines in a smaller easier to handle saw.

Water and oxygen...........where are you coming from or trying to go here?

110K on my 05 with factory fleetgaurd 7 micron filter only changed at either 10 k miles or every spring and fall which ever comes first and no issues. I run either amsoil or schaeffers fuel additive on occasion.
