    Power and torque curve

    He was being sarcastic. I'm not-lighten up or you will feel the wrath of the Friday Dogpile gods-they are constantly on the lookout for fodder.

    Try 1-800-BLW-CHNX. Ask for Droolia.

    Suck it, Electrosport!

    Yup. Keep forgetting that part. Glad I only paid $75 for mine, and removed a perfectly good (and on hand) stocker.

    Suck it, Electrosport!

    No mention of what he was running on that poor thing. Run any stat at max output all the time, it's eventually gonna resemble a forgotten chicken breast in a KFC frier. There's a lot of them out there that haven't cooked. Yet.

    *%$!@*! ******* RadioHowie FJR Fund

    For those on the fence, in particular those with Gen I machines, keep in mind that Howies travails concerning his tensioner pretty much put the last nail in the coffin (for me anyway) in that it absolutely confirmed that it should be replaced about every 50k for the best insurance. His grenaded...

    Detector mounting

    Hold it in your mouth. Nice, high location, and easy to tell when receiving a signal.

    It's the right area, looks like the same one to me.

    Thread spin off about possible change to Rotella Diesel Oil

    What hasn't been mentioned much (if at all) is the geartrain. The tranny is the major reason I add the EOS. Gears like high pressure additives-especially clutch dogs. That there is a reduction of cam lobe wear is just a extra for me-and those of you with miles on your motors, take a close...

    Thread spin off about possible change to Rotella Diesel Oil

    Pouting, I think. Still. Besides, with the info above, and his dissertation in the Bin-O-Facts, what more can be said? About $9 a bottle at most GM dealers. You might be able to get it a little cheaper, but IIRC not a lot of wiggle room on cost of the stuff. Cam manufacturers have more or...

    Thread spin off about possible change to Rotella Diesel Oil

    Oils that have the Energy Star are the worst offenders-made for auto engines exclusively, they are fuel mileage oriented, and lack the high pressure additives (zinc, phosphorous) due to problems with these compounds tending to render ineffective catalytic converters (the same could happen to...

    Thread spin off about possible change to Rotella Diesel Oil

    It's because automotive and truck engines have gone away from flat tappet cams that they are able to reduce the high pressure additives without ill effect-for them. It's because of this reduction I have been adding 4 oz. of GM's E.O.S. to each load of M1 15w-50 when I change. It adds some...

    Rudy won't be riding anymore...

    A shame, but then bicycles mixin it up with cars and trucks never does work out for the rider. Though in this case the rider was probably innocent as hell, I daily see examples of just the opposite, and wonder how so many survive the day.

    Will a 08 motor bolt into a 04 readily?

    I'd be willing to bet that between the two engines, and some transferring of ancillary components, the 08 motor will fit just fine.

    Info for the Californians out there

    Kal ain't the only place. I find myself doing it more and more (mostly in left lane blocker situations) here in illegal Minnesota. Yesterday, when I chanced upon a closed entrance to my usual route, I used my small footprint to circumvent about 100 cars trying to enter via another lousy one...
