What? Is it only the hotrod vp44's that are able to produce higher HP's? I've heard talk of people cranking 800+ on a vp44...

Alright, fellas! Just ordered me a high idle kit in the brushed aluminum!

Awesome! Its definitely not a conventional thing to consider, but atleast you have stepped up to the plate and took the dive. It will be useful to see how it works out!

...man, I dunno how to even digest that. A while back, I seen signs at McDonald's that said, "hiring, must be 18 or older". :banghead: I would'nt be where I'am today if they did not hire me as a minor! I got hired by them at 17.

This is what I'm aiming for with my truck, ultimately:

I really love the idea of being a person that can create jobs, but that whole shpiel you just gave about the hoops to jump through, turns me off. To that, I give you much respect!

Neeeeeeveeeer!!!!!!! If the day ever comes these trucks are played around and tinkered with like people do with an old 50's chevy, I will be one of them! I'm a lifer with this thing now! Heck, if I had to form my own sheet metal to keep the body in good shape I will!

HEY! Whattya know! I'm back now!

I dunno if the P2P thing is still going or not. Might not even be worth the risk, either? Man.. I remember as kid burning all sorts of things and downloading off of shazaam and napster, etc. LOL! Man.. how things have changed.

I shutter when you say Yakima!

I think your fine. You can try and get something to doublecheck that your FP gauge is working properly, but I don't think you are experiencing anything out of the norm. I notice my FP stays low initally until the grids cycle off. See if the FP is correlating with the grids cycling. Mine is an AD so its not as low a pressure as yours but it still seems like this might be the case. BTW, I have gone down to subzero temperature and have not added a single additive and have yet to experience any gelling. Pump says #2 with no winter blend and may contain up to 5% bio. I use 2-stroke all the time, so I dunno if you would consider it an additive. How you can really tell if your LP is going to die is if pressures are constantly below 10 and goes to 0 on good to full throttle situations. Thankfully, my LP on here when I bought the truck did not destroy my vp44 as that was the case with mine. Dunno how the IP lasted so long without any pressures!

...okay, I'm really fonfused now.

I do not own one, but all I have been told to buy if I ever consider a TDI is the earlier 00's model years with a manual.

I have. But I believe its just about getting the suns heat to keep the frost down. My mother in law has been kicking the idea around, and I've seen it done before as a kid, but you take PVC and plastic and make a little greenhouse for the seedlings until its warm enough to take them off for the grow season. I guess I need to start looking at a good homemade greenhouse idea. When I was doing glass, we had 5x10 foot insulated units that were rejects. Could have taken them home for free and done a greenhouse. Except I could not imagine paying to replace one if it ever broke! I'd have to patch it and make it into a smaller hole!

I saw the buddy heater at the local Big R a couple weeks ago. Says it was safe for indoor use. I was considering one for a little as it was darn cold in the trailer! With propane prices, it would have been better to get all the heat from the unit instead of only getting a little from a heat exchanger on a small furnace for comparison.

I'm sure I will need some pointers, as I'm not exactly a green thumb! Were definitely looking at figuring out how to do a large amount of plants indoors to start them as our growing season here is not the best.

I really don't see how this should be such a huge deal... I think people need to buck up and be patient and understanding.

My first truck was a Mazda b2200. I spent waaay too much money on the truck and made it into a lowrider. I thought it was the coolest thing. Still do somewhat. I have not been able to fully finish it since then, so its sat in the parents driveway for too long. I need a shop to put it in! Its a cool little mini-truck. Thats what interested me. But this, yea, I know exactly what this guy is into, but I see no reason for doing it to a full-size. To me, its just more money than brains...

How do you even make a dog DO that?!

Yep, I'm right there with ya. I'm 5'10" though..

Well I've reveived two e-mails describing I was a lost family member. Threw me off for a second. But seeing as I made this post, I must be good... No worries here, I assumed it was a mistake, and whattya know, it is.

I really wanna know how that he351 works out for you when you get it on...

And the MPG fooler setting as well. I'm really hoping to gain a little in that too.

My dream plow! http://www.fisherplows.com/fe/showroom/ Maybe if you got some money: http://www.fisherplows.com/fe/showroom/xls

Been a chevy guy growing up. But once I knew how good a diesel was and the cummins, I was all over it. If I had the money, It would be a Chevy with a cummins coupled with the allison.
