I'll go first. I found a bill from December 2002. 7.7 cents a kWh. In Texas. I think all the states where no one wants to live were already around 10 a kWh by this time.

With all the diesel exhaust systems using NOx sensors for years now I figured someone might have reverse engineered and mass produced one by now No?

Yeah I've used a ratchet strap and a rag before too. Added a rag because I know sulfuric acid will eat nylon from previous experiences. A rubber bungee should hold up fine as they used rubber for decades in batteries.

I love the smell if sulfuric acid in the morning.

That's why the hammer drill clean out works so well. It still looks legal and works a little, maybe.

The pinion seal usually goes first some time around 10 years or more. Usually just change that and nothing else. Eventually the axle seals go some time around 20+ years. That may prompt a wider rebuild. If the ring and pinion gear wear are within limits usually just seals and bearings unless you...

Yeah when I made a group 31 fit in place of group 27 in my truck (the group 31 is taller) I had to fire up the bolt stretcher. The group 31 is pretty close to the underside of the hood. Don't need it making contact with the hood, starting a fire, ect.

I think this is it. It's a 20x1.5mm and I know I can get a 20x1.5mm filter head. It's supposed to more gooder than the 2 micron 33966 filter. From what I can tell wix rates their fuel filters at beta 75 and there doesn't appear to be an indusy standard test for the nano particle filters.

Yeah I'd be shocked if a 2005 wasn't burning a good amount of oil.

I hog out the flow restrictor and take shorter showers.

If the original one clogged up a replacement will too. Could take several months could take a few years.

I heard that Marine 2smoke oil gets fired in air cooled engines. I've never decided I needed to test that theory as echo redarmor is probably just about the best 2stroke oil for the money, run it at 40:1.

That's a good place to start. Use a hammer drill and masonry drill bit to unclog the catalytic converter.

2000 miles and 18 months is a boarder line change for me. New oil that's been ran say 1hr or 30 miles is good for a maximum of 3 to 5 years.

How were they replaced?
