    Frame Rust...

    You are talking about one of those Rotox nozzles I think. Got one, its a time saver with that spinning stream. If you get one match it to your your gpm and psi output. How about using POR15 instead of Rustoleum?

    Frame Rust...

    If the pressure washer didn't move it its not likely to flake off later. Some conditions where you have heavy scale a follow up with the needle scale-er might be needed, fortunately for you, you didn't need that. You could soak a sponge with the phosphoric acid stuff and pull it through the...

    1995 Suburban radio and speaker options?

    I was going to suggest Crutchfeild's too since they are right up the road from me. They are good about having odd din sizes like the 1 1/2 DIN GM's take. And they have great details on what speakers will fit a given vehicle without cutting them up.

    What is favorite Bar-b-que flavor?

    The sauce from NC and southern VA is light, thin and a bit sweet & sour and spicy. The best is made (:secret:) with the pork stock from the cooking process. Tough cuts need to be slow cooked to make all that connective tissue melt into tasty smooth gelatin that carries the seasonings that you...

    Parts compatibility between 6.2 and 6.5 TD

    :agreed: Indeed, I have a low miles set of diamond precups I am saving for a potential rebuild of a 6.2 core setting in the shop. If it turns out those heads are toast someones going to get a nice set of precups for a bit of folding money ;)d

    What is favorite Bar-b-que flavor?

    I picked up a technique from Alton Brown. Steam the chicken till its all most cooked through and then bake it off in the oven for crisp brown skin. GBD Golden Brown and Delicious with no smoke and flare ups. :thumbsup: I have not tried it with large pieces yet just wings, nor have I tried to go...

    Okay, am I screwed, and if so, how screwed am I?

    Pigeon Forge is a good central east coast location for such a meetup. Lots of stuff to keep the kids and ladies busy while we bench race. My path: http://g.co/maps/x2qzq

    The "restification" of a 98 6.5 TD...

    Daylight driving lights are not required here in VA. Are they required in CA or you just like them? The USPS ran them back in the day and based on some dubious numbers that generated the US DOT later required US mfgs to implement them. States can require them to work on new cars.

    Poll Idea's

    Except fer me!!! :cool: Courtesy of the DOT. They speced one and the dealer installed it, along with the 2way radio, light bar, PA, after market cheesy alarm, big bright reflective tape stripe, and a big sticker over the filler door that says DIESEL ONLY. Even the wife couldn't miss it. :rof:

    Those places are doable for me. Since the wife has been wanting to go there any way. :hihi:

    With fuel prices still rising, what have you tried to increase your fuel mileage?

    :hihi: Several of us at church were standing around one of the staff pastors notebooks looking at car pictures. Another staffer walked by and ask "what yall doing?" I said "looking at car porn" and he immediately joined in :)

    What is favorite Bar-b-que flavor?

    Yea when you don't have the time or gear you find a way. I have done something like that in the crock pot and pressure cooker. Then brown it off in the broiler or grill or frying pan even. Fooled my BBQ pickey Bro in law. Buts its still not the same, but lot better than none :)

    With fuel prices still rising, what have you tried to increase your fuel mileage?

    Oh well. With all the crap I have to track its not a wonder I forgot. In fact don't tell the wife I'm even on here. :)

    :agreed: That's what chain store restaurants and their suppliers do to speed up the process. :puke:

    what kind of m.p.g. are you getting?

    that's all the a shop you would take it to will do. Just DIY, you have the GPS for reference. Which back in the stoopid ages we did not have nor easy to move calibration jumpers. Don't ya just love the future? :hihi:

    Losing Coolant When Towing

    Yes is can. The specific heat of antifreeze is less than that of water. So the less water in the solution the less heat carrying capacity. Also the higher viscosity makes the coolant move slower. It will get to a much higher temperature before it boils, but with out the ability to move enough...
