Perhaps plug the vacuum brake booster if you have one. To Eliminate the booster being a problem. big air leak when you push the brakes and put it into drive will kill any engine.

Unpopular opinion - I built a 318 to have less power.

It’s going to be the same signal. Just reduce the large ports of the mad and gauge and tee everything off your current 1/8npt fitting if you’d like

He has probably changed the vacuum advance signal. First problem is listening to Facebook. Every attention-seeking nut job has a phone and Facebook now. Best advice is to ignore and move on. Or, shout at a wall like the rest of his commenters on his thread.

On old reciprocating engine aircraft, there was a cold start system to dilute the engine oil with fuel (gasoline) before shutting the engine down and letting it sit in the cold. The purpose was to thin out the high oil pressures. The gasoline would boil off when oil was at operating temperature...

I don’t check percentages. I don’t really care. I tuned for what I think is the highest percentage of ethanol, 85%. If it ends up with more gasoline, then i end up with a more rich air fuel ratio and no damage is done. I don’t run on a razors edge of detonation where a slight mistake in...

I run e85. Don’t have problems with corrosion. I’ve had to let it sit in the tank for 6 months. Drained and flushed and refilled it and it seems fine. If you want to switch back and forth or blend it, you’ll need flex fuel type sensors. I’m unsure of fast2.0 has that software to run a flex...

Kind of a silly argument don’t you think? See how long your petrol lasts - says the horseman.

IMO - liquid fuel will be a relic of the old days, the modern world is just using it to cross the nuclear fusion finish line.

Never, ever turn into the direction of a failed engine at low altitude. Same thing happened to a Puerto Rico ANG C-130 a few years ago. Took off with a failed engine (should have aborted) and then turned left into the failed engine. Crashed on video. Criminal maintenance practice. Prop governor...

Just like the entire engine/transmission/chassis and tire combo, the efi system must match the demand and skill. Some guys are stuck on alpha - n when they should be speed density, and vis versa.

I feel a lot (hundreds of thousands) of elderly/senior citizens will die from this virus and their family will liquidate their assets to pay for funeral and medical costs. Not to mention, a lot of retirement funds have and will take a temporary loss, causing more cars/parts/toys to hit a slow...

I sent you a pm. Cleaned out the inbox.

Well put - my thoughts exactly.

I don’t have any extra parts to sell. I’d have to remove the high $ parts and sell them off and then sell the remainder of the Duster in hopes of making more money that way. You’re right, running and driving is a great selling point and is probably the best way to go about selling. I’d hate to...

Thanks, friends. My daughter is wonderful it’s just my wife needs to quit her job to take care of her. A thought in my mind is that I could possibly make more if I were to part out the high ticket items (turbo, headers, fuel injection setup, etc) and sell the rest separately. I second guess...

So I’ve decided I need to sell my Duster to support my family. My oldest daughter has been diagnosed with Autism. She turns 3 in January. I’ve accrued a lot of expenses to help her and there will be more. Problem is that I’ve had a lot of problems with the rotating assembly and it needs a new...

Wash entire vehicle, lube everything - esp. the plastics. Drain gas and flush with diesel, fog engine while cranking with sea foam spray or similar, unload valve springs, drain oil, remove your nice battery and put in your DD.

An electric motor in a hot rod is boring to us mechanics, though. It would be at its peak performance the first day and no where to go from there except down as the battery degrades. No more tinkering or learning new things. Just plug in and drive. Yawn!

The drippings of turbine oil and JP8 won’t seal it up? What did they store In there previously that caused so much coorosion? Is it reasonable to fabricate the floor from aluminum sheet instead of steel? For secondary containment, we use large plastic drums with wheels and set the barrels...

I’d say sell whatever you have in mind right now. Because gasoline is CHEAP, the economy is great, and tax returns are coming.

Your original post says a 2007 ram. I could only assume that with a higher gear ratio, that the mileage would become lower for those few extra hundred or so rpms. I suppose it also depends on if you’re towing or not. Those extra hundred rpms could allow you to avoid downshifts going up a hill...

You must also consider the transmission gearing, tire size, and gross vehicle weight.

Do not finance anything. The price you pay for the life of the loan is exponential when compared to the original msrp, which is already double that of the wholesale cost.

Cope, it’s all about the sheet metal. Everything else just lives underneath.

Looks like it uses a mini nitrogen tank in the panel to shuttle a valve in the bottles. Should be able to open the panel and remove the nitrogen tank after disconnecting the manifold to the bottles. Careful, the nitrogen tank likely uses a needle on the other side of the FIRE button to rupture a...

Wow didn't know that! And the tax savings probably pays for medical. I pay just short of $100 for dental, vision, and medical insurance through the gov't. I honestly wouldn't want a "free" medical care system. Why do I need to pay extra for someone who, most likely eats like ****, smokes...

**** I'd rather see a slant 6 in that thing than a 5.0
