    New job, need to move, gotta sell the truck...I'm gunna regret it.

    You are correct on all fronts, but i need the money not just for the physical move, but for deposits, missing a paycheck, etc. This job offer came out of the blue, when I was abnormally low on funds. :-( Im a librarian, we make less than teachers in many cases

    Hydrogen

    I put one in mine, very nice kit. the truck had a bit more power, no savings on fuel, but with a mechanical fuel pump, that would be expected. without a dyno to prove the power increase, then being able to turn down the fuel pump to decrease full delivery, all the while monitoring head temp...

    the manufacturer calls for steam distilled water...very adimitly. so im following their instructions to a T for the sake of accuracy with this specific unit. as for the HHO production, this manufacturer calls for about .79 lpm for a 6.9 liter engine. this has always been my biggest...

    I got everything mounted, and wired for the most part...but as usual, what should be the easiest thing, is a task...cant find steam distilled water, may have to order it if I cant find it today. the biggest problem that I had...fyi...was how to tell the system that the truck was "running", as...

    Barn find update, and HHO generator

    remember, its not about replacing the diesel, its about additional efficiency...furthermore, the lower explosive limit of diesel is .6 % by volume of air, and the lower explosive limit of Hydrogen is .016%...so at .02%, you are where you want to be, just to add a little "umph", much more than...

    there are articles on the site that explain how pulsing the current helps regulate the input of ampheres, given as things heat up the resistance changes. as for the price...it all depends on how much you drive. i have a disabled father in texas that i drive 2400 moles round trip to see him...
