another new guy

[cranknrods]

hello, looks like im another new guy to register on this site. seems to be a couple of us within the last month. i hope this means the rest of america is finally seeing the benifits of diesel. well i quess an introduction of my ride is in order. its a 97' suburban heavy chassis 2500 its got a 4" straight pipe 3" down pipe 2.25" crossover. a #9 resistor on a relocated pmd/fsd (wish i had a picture for this mod-im pretty proud-stays cool on the hottest days and looks stock and its still in the engine bay without a aftermarket harness extension)and marine injectors. the biggest gain i got in performance though was when i started running 25% wmo. curently working on a wmo/wvo blend that starts well. single tank with a heated prefilter the stock tank is heated but not very efficiently. give me 6 months and ill never give those arabs another penny then im selling the wifes car and gonna buy her a diesel and do the samething. probably a cummins though
thanks for having me-but i must admit right off the bat that i can be alittle sketchy on replies-juggling my truck and my 2 yr old son is a big load. so i dont get to spend as much time on the computer like i would like to.

hey!
welcome to our quiet little corner in the basement!
we may be a small group but we're very easygoing.
please do post your blending experience. I've been running blends in my IH but not in the chebby yet. Mainly due to the fact I am in the process of putting the truck together. I'm not about to use work trucks as lab rats, since the downtime will be very costly.

Welcome to the site crankn, I think you'll find our fuels form fairly active and informative.

Glad to have you onboard with us.

ohh yeah--i got 3 55g drums full of my wvo/wmo cocktail waiting for the trip.
2 drums are getting put in the back of the burban and the other drum is getting put into my boats fuel tank(i have a way to drain it from those tanks to my truck). add that with the 40 gallons of cocktail that ill have in my fuel tank when i leave here-ill almost be making this trip for free. except for gas in the boat.
