I know what you're saying, and the reason that happens is because the rag itself is being used as the fuel and the oxygen is merely the catalyst that makes the rag burn must faster ( rapid oxidization ) than normally. A clean rag will burn on it's own- not very well, but introduce 100% oxygen...
i am no expert here but I think propane would be better performance wise anyway....The way i see it is Propane is explosive, whereas oxygen is Not....oxygen will make a flame burn faster or hotter, but it will not burn on it's own. I would be interested in seeing the effect of injecting it into...
I bought my truck with 150,000KM...now have about 215,000KM on it
Only major fix i've done is a PMD, LP, regular fuel filter, oil+filter changes
I drive it hard...it's a landscaping work truck. I regularly have over 2000lb in the BED of the truck and she has yet to let me down. Starts every...
all my girl got this year was a front end alignment and a couple filter changes :)
Last year did:
LP
exhaust
front pads
trans fluid
diff fluid
all 4 tires
windshield
PMD
vac pump removed
id say slider for sure in a reg cab
i dont know how I'd live without mine...although X2 on being easy to break into. I locked my keys in once and crawled through it to get them LOL
Mine never rattled, but it seems pretty tight.
i got mine done at a big rig leaf shop
i think it cost me $120 for 3 more installed Really helped, but stiffened the ride a bit. I heard airbags were the way to go but this was alot cheaper. Ive had about 2000# or more in the back before
ive had a dtech front mounted for about a year and a half now, no problems ( knock on wood ) but the talks of how they fail even worse than stanadyne have me paranoid! Guess i should look for a spare as well...
Might even be worth keeping a spare harness, ive heard some of the aftermarket ones...
yeah but you gain that in mileage! thats insane. my boat will drink about 200L in a day if you really want to, top speed 45Mph or so. I bet that volvo will last a lifetime. Watercooled turbine ...MMMmmmm you ever think of doing any power upgrades to it?
I dont think i can jackstand it - The gravel in the barn is pretty mushy and last year i stored a boat in it- the tires had sunken into the ground almost completely! I had planned on parking each of tires on a 3 foot long pc of 2x10 to distribute the weight. Also , in terms of the engine oil--...
Since I don't use my truck for work during the winter and Ive got a little beater 4 banger to get me around, Im going to put her away. It will be in a Barn up north- not heated....she will be missed thats for sure
Just wanted to get some info on what I can do to make sure she fires back up...
Dually Great carnage pics and I like your thinking.. but i think us youngins need photo documentation of the girl performing the work, for proof's sake of course.
Soooo
I rolled over 200,000KM today (ive had her since 150) and the truck gave me a sweet little surprise... I was watching the odometer and smiling and the smile abruptly left my face when i smelled diesel.. Pulled into the lumber yard lot to pick up some lumber, popped the hood and noticed...
