    Fuel Filter clogging in cold weather

    Since I have a relocated LP (thanks Vulcan Welding) and 1/2" lines and a second, 10 micron filter, do I need to worry about the second, unheated, filter clogging with wax? We dont get much cold weather here in Texas but a cold front can blow through and dip us into the teens. Do I need to...

    Question RE: 6 litre PSD

    I heard a rumor on the Ford site that Ford has announced that the 6.0 is being discontinued. #1, Is this true? #2, If so, why? #3, If so, what will they replace it with? I hate rumors and hope that someone here will know the truth.

    Transmission Slack

    My 01 4wd does that too, seems to be a common question. Most common cause is just slop in the driveline, transmission, transfercase. A real problem is a possibility, worn ring/pinon, worn splines between the 5 sp and the transfer case. My guess is that it is just normal slop, they all...

    High Cost of Diesel Fuel

    I missed that news byte. One pipeline is still far short of what they are (were) capable of producing. Probably only a fraction of what it should be but atleast they are shipping some.

    High Cost of Diesel Fuel

    Beg to differ with you but... Oil is sold on the open market worldwide, as supply goes DOWN prices go UP on the open market, even though we dont buy Iraqi oil WE pay the higher price due to reduced supply. It's called a global economy. If it can be determined that I am correct, Iraq is not...

    Vw Tdi

    We are considering buying a VW TDI. We would appreciate any comments, problems or other things you think we should be aware of. We would only buy manual shift models, probably a 4 door station wagon type. Comments? TIA

    High Cost of Diesel Fuel

    One thing to consider here is the effect of W's invasion of Iraq. Iraq has the 2nd largest oil reserves in the world. Iraq hasnt flowed a drop of crude since Mr Bush invaded and destroyed the Iraqui Infrastructure two years ago. Mr Bush and Mr Cheny are oil men, period. Since Iraqui stopped...

    High Cost of Diesel Fuel

    The current gouging of the American People wont end untill we elect a new dictator. The current Administration is completely in bed with the oil industry. Fuel prices have risen steadly since Mr Bush's election and I think will stay as high or go higher. When you have a President that...
