    Anyone bought anything from "Cummins Industrial Tools"?

    I just received a flyer that indicated that there will be a tool sale at the local (small town) fire department and it showed all kinds of shop and other tools. (parts washers, welders, etc.) The prices are really good but I'm leery about whether this is just one of the deals where a semi...

    Tax Break!

    Do you know if it's only on new vehicles or is it if you're still paying for an existing diesel vehicle or vehicles? :) Might cause me to trade the jetta for a new jetta. :)

    Stock Intake Feed Duct Mod?

    I drive quite a bit in snow and rain. Last christmas we came back from Phoenix through flagstaff and hit a nasty snowstorm at about 4000 feet. Drove for 8 hours that day and never had a problem. Just my .02 Regards, Dave

    Bombing's in London

    Woke up this morning and turned on the news and was shocked to see the bombings going on over there. I have to travel to England 3-4 times a year for work and I've been through that Kings Cross station maybe 100 times over the last 10 years. My prayers are with the families of those who...

    Something to think about!

    That's a tough one. One of my daughter's good friends died in a car accident over thanksgiving of her junior year. We were pretty close to her family and it tore them up pretty bad. It's sad to see someone lost that young. Take care, Dave

    I'm chained up now....

    LOL - No, she's not watching, but what else could I say about a woman who never says a thing when I buy diesel parts, guns, or tools? (oh yeah and she goes scuba diving with me! :) ) Have a good one, dave

    Anyone with a Chipped X?

    Those John Deere 110's are pretty amazing. My next door neighbor has 12 acres and mows lawn (maybe 1 acre) once a week and uses it to "brushhog" the other 11 acres once a month. (primarily a woodlot) I'll be hearing him mow, hear it hit something (with the blades) and hear him shut it down . ...

    I'm chained up now....

    Congrats! We're only 10 years into it but I wouldn't trade mine for the world. Oh yeah, I like being married too. :) In my case she's definately the better half. I hope things go as well for you as they have for me. Have a good one, Dave

    Anyone with a Chipped X?

    I don't do a 5 foot ring, but I do make a big enough mulch ring to allow my Kubota to mow the same diameter. Works pretty good. If I had brick edging around the mulch it would be perfect. I have to weed whack about once a month to keep it looking good for the small bits I don't get with...

    Anyone catch "Trucks" a couple of weeks ago?

    What speed are you towing at?

    Wow, how cold was it when you were pulling? Your other numbers were about where I was at 18k total weight, but your tranny numbers are about 70 degree's cooler than what I was seeing. (I was 170-190 in 90 degree ambient) To get the fast idle on the remote start couldn't you just have an...

    Anyone catch "Trucks" a couple of weeks ago?

    When he made biodiesel from fryer oil? I was really revved up to go buy that setup after watching the show. Then I saw the price . . :( I think the only way you could justify it is if somehow you got 6-10 guys together to split the cost and pass it around. I think between my wife, the...

    What speed are you towing at?

    Yup, that's the conclusion I've come to also . . .at about 1900-2000 the boost comes up and the egt's stay down no matter what speed I'm towing at. The only thing I've noticed is that in the switchbacks when I'm pulling slow that a consistent 1900-2000 with the TC unlocked causes my tranny...

    QuickAir3 or Viair 400P ?

    I just had to fix a flat tire on the X while the camper was hooked up and used the little itty bitty cheapo air compressor I had to air up the tire. It did the job, but I was really worried that it would burn out. (I was running it for 5 minutes, with 10 minutes to cool and it took me an hour...

    What speed are you towing at?

    I think the only way I could tow at 55 would be if I had OD locked out. Otherwise I'd be running up near the Rev Limiter when I was climbing. I did lock it in second for one particularly nasty hill and it pulled it without a problem, but I did notice my temp gauge on the tranny climbing up...

    What speed are you towing at?

    I just got back from 2200 miles in 8 days and while I like to tow around 59mph it seems like it's much easier on the truck to run about 64mph. At 59 I have it shifting in/out of OD (unless I turn the OD off), and it seems like my EGT's get much higher on a hill. At 64mph it never leaves OD...

    Anyone with a Chipped X?

    I'm running a Super Chips Micro Tuner. No problem with the PATS if you follow their instructions. (come with it) Regards, Dave

    Hey Computer Guru's/Scuba Divers....quick question?

    I don't think so, but then again I don't know. If you look in the back of your owner's manual you should be able to find a tech spec's section that lists the spec's for the IR port. You could then match them up. Good Luck!! Have a good one, Dave

    Anyone found a good use for Compact Flash cards?

    That's true . . .they're small enough that I could put that type of info on one and stash it in the truck somewhere. (currently all my backups are to DVD and stored in a firesafe . . . which may or may not last long enough for the fire department to arrive) Have a good one, Dave

    Hey Computer Guru's/Scuba Divers....quick question?

    I don't have any experience with Uwatec as I'm a Sunnato guy myself. I have had good luck with these guys though and they carry your brand: http://www.leisurepro.com Have a good one, Dave

    Anyone found a good use for Compact Flash cards?

    I've found that I keep accumulating "smaller" compact flash cards as I upgrade the one's in the GPS, camera, etc. I wonder what to do with the old one's as I never seem to ever use them. (I bought the bigger one's because I didn't want to keep swapping) Any good compact flash charities? :)

    Cinderella Man

    My wife and I took in this movie on Saturday. EXCELLENT. One of the few movies in my life where I felt like the money was well spent. Have a good one, Dave
