    Preferred choice of oil

    I'm sorry, but I don't buy into all of that synthetic crap. One of the guys that works for me sends in the oil for evaluation in our bigger equipment and we switched to syn in a PC 300 excavator, there were no significant changes in anything other than price. Synthetic oil is more resistant to...

    Some help please with EFI Code readings

    that is a soft code, which doesn't get stored, the H1 signifies it is a freeze frame save, it does that so you can read codes thrown that get reset or dumped. Its a diagnosis tool.

    Anyone here use the Fuel meister II?

    good point, believe me, there WILL be a detection method, just like when the whole red-dye thing started, it WILL happen if bio diesel gains enough popularity. The govn't always finds some way to collect tax dollars. Seriously, do you think the govn't will let you and anyone else drive around...

    all he is saying is why buy a throw away filter that flows less, than a re-usable that flows more, 1 afe is cheaper than 20 paper filters.

    Anyone here use the Fuel meister II?

    oh, i bet if enough of the govn't road tax revenue goes missing one of these days from the popularity of bio diesel, they will develop a test, actually one of my friends work for a company that makes litmus test strips and they have been filling orders for organic fuel oil strips. little...

    hey from ky.

    i have made myself at home here, its a great place, with everyone I actually liked from other places. I love the old seven tree's, the fastest one in the world is in an old body style, that should make you proud.

    Farming Thread:

    our first cutting sucked, too wet and too cold for too long, second cutting should catch up and cover losses quite nicely though. corn in Huntley which is just east of billings is between 3-4 feet, which is pretty far behind, usually it is about 6-7 feet right now.

    Max horsepower from a stock turbo?

    Air pressure is only part of the equation, volume is other. Its really hard to draw a mathematical equation saying X(boost)= Y(horsepower), it depends on amount of fuel, efficiency of combustion and fuel atomization, timing, volute air passageways, actually an entire myriad of different...
