    Road Trip!

    Well just made a 200 mile run towing the trailer and all went well. Had to do a minor brake adjustment as the trailer was yawing when the brakes were applied. Man all new brakes sure make a big difference! Had the rights a little to tight. New tires are very quite! Got everything weighed...

    Road Trip!

    Well consider this... This trip alone will save enough off cost of fuel at pump by using Biodiesel to pay for all but 50 bucks of the tires on the truck!! I am hot, tired and exhausted. I will be sooo glad when Saturday comes and I can sit behind the wheel for 3 hours to our first stop! Looking...

    Road Trip!

    Yep topped em both off. When I did the rear brakes I pulled the axles so some ran out and that prompted me to top them off. When I was laying out my emergency bag, spare parts and special tools, my 10 year old daughter exclaimed, "Dad, why don't you just take a spare engine" That was...

    reactor construction

    You go there Luke! Get R Done already! I wanna come down and look.... I think the poly reactor will work as for heat as he pre heats in the steel 175 gal tank, mixing that much KOH and Methanol will be the one to watch as for heat and pressure. I think I might have a 30 gallon steel drum some...

    Qustions On a 97 stroker

    Where yo uat in IA? I am in Eastern NE. With that bigger turbo I am wondering if someone has upgraded the injectors. You can get more with injectors than with a turbo and even more with both. Crawl around on that turbo and see if it has any markings on it. And yes, get rid of the K&N! Rick H...
