  1. ABSOLUTELY the most archaic system I've ever experienced on ANY website. They collect dues, they can fix the problem.

    GREAT pic. Before we did the engine swap, you needed everyone in the bus to lean forward in order to get through a headwind.

    Porsche and Volkswagen had been using the same swing-axle, rear suspension design. Ralph Nader stuck his nose where it didn't belong. My brother and I stuffed a Corvair engine in to our Dad's VW bus. What a blast it was to drive.

    Corvairs were prone to rolling over.

    Personally, I think you're straying a bit too far from the original intent of thus thread. But for the record, it depends on where the Russian satellite crosses the Equator. This is a trick question.

    That begs the question...how do you define a diesel engine? If it's, well the block must have a certain weight/HP ratio, you may be right. They may have used the same block as the gasser, I don't know. Everything else on that engine was specifically designed to compete with the MB...however poorly it may have been done.

    1980s GM diesels were converted gas engines...
  9. Walker Lake in NV has some interesting history. Lots of folks don't appreciate desert views. I can't get enough of them.
  10. 95 is a gorgeous road. Love traveling its route and rarely do you need to be concerned about weather.
  11. Appears to be a smokin' deal. Wonder why it hasn't sold.

    LOL...I'm somewhat hesitant to ask how this was determined.
  13. That's a challenging question to answer without knowing what loads you want on the generator. Generac, Kohler and Onan (from least expensive to most expensive) dominate the residential market. Personally, I'd research the installers in your neck of the woods that represent either of those three. Often times, they're an electrical contractor that is a dealer one or more of the Big Three. They'd be more than happy to come to your home and determine individual loads.
  14. A truck that has sat is an invitation to four footed, furry monsters. These little devils love to chew on things, especially plastic wire insulation. I'd start by checking all exposed wires and grounds.

    There are expiration dates on the jugs that you purchase separately. The manufacturer's make those numbers extremely challenging for the challenged like me to understand.

    If you do that to your Cummins, turbo boost surges. I don't know about a Cat.

    This myth's origins was true. Today, I believe it's the hard casings that prevent discharge. But the myth continues.

    Setting a battery on concrete drains it.

    And to think I've always used a carpenter's square for a quality cut....😉

    Cut square, plus or minus 15°.

    Ray, Can you tell me exactly what feature this is, and where it's located. I was under the impression that the only Cummins engines with this feature are in the industrial line, not automotive.

    Yeaaah...what does Paccar know? 😂😉
