With all due respect, you’re wrong on the size. The Ranch fire earlier this year was 410,000 acres. Camp is 149,000 acres. Woolsey is 96,000 and mostly contained.

Man, i thought my baja bug was begging for mercy at 60mph with my 980lb popup... And that’s with an 1800CC bored and stroked engine. I cant imagine that 5th wheel doing more than about 45 on that stock bug engine.
Assuming that trailer wheels are supposed to be.. round... It seems we have some barrel distortion from a low grade security camera lens. Without access to the camera to map the distortion, this is what i came up with:
Respectfully.. almost all properly filed, first hand report OHSA complaints with any injury at all trigger an ‘investigation.’ I’ve seen investigations when someone broke their hand by slamming it in a door... that they were installing. A man broke his arm on a forklift by trying to move it while standing next to the…
I agree. Though my hateful 2.7L is at 150k. Maintenance counts for a lot. Changed the timing set at 75k, about to change it again. Full synthetic with 8000 miles changes on the dot.
With all due respect to the engineers and mechanics and machinists and materials experts, EEs, etc that bring the talent, it doesnt mean shit without money, vision, and leadership. Give him crap all ya want, but the net result is, he is indeed getting shit done, using his own money. Even if he is kind of goofy while…
4l60E. If i could leave a comment that short, that’s all i would have to say to send shivers up the spine of any half ton GM owner who has ever asked their truck to work hard. I have 3 of them sitting in my garage. One died at 60k, the other at 70, and the 3rd died after only 40k. Its not rare, its such a well known…
Good, Good, keep spreading the BS. Keeps the prices on 6.0Ls down...
The first and second truck are using a rigid coupling between them. The middle truck will push the lead truck as soon as it starts slipping.
It doesnt really work that way. Standing on the earths surface, you still have velocity. Around 460 m/s or about 1000 miles per hour, thanks to the earth’s rotation. Using that as a reference, if you were moving at that speed (meaning, looking from the ground, you appeared stationary...) you would stop falling towards…
I’ve got a Kubota i am stuffing into a ranger... it was originally going into my VW sand rail to maike a diesel rail, but the adapter would have been difficult to make (well.. the flywheel as well...)
I like how ‘camera’ wasn’t impressive sounding enough, so they called it an electro-optical sensor.
277 without any accessories, no cooling fan, an electric water pump, using headers with no exhaust system, and stripped of its emission controls, on a carb instead of fuel injection.
I’m pretty well versed in OBS fords, owning a legit ‘clean example.’
This instance is his own home...
Because it is his home as well. It’s perfectly legal to litter your home with cameras, as the expectation of privacy is shared, not individual. Same reason police can search a home if only one resident agrees.
Its a 3k+ job to do the trans on these things, once you add in sales tax, a huge amount of fluid (15 quarts), the 10 hours it takes to R&R, and new lines and torque converter plus cooler flush... That is a 25 year old truck. 7k is asking a lot if it WERE in good running shape. Considering its a non turbo 7.3L IDI…
No such luck, E4OD, and an EARLY one at that too. Known to fail, expensive to get rebuilt. Center supports pretty much MUST be updated to the new style. Shops hate them because they are big, heavy, and always need a ton of internal hardware updates because the old parts are obsolete. A basic frics, steels, filter,…
They make over 500ftlbs of torque, 525 at the end of their run. This 1992 truck cannot be a powerstoke. Instead, it has to be a 7.3L IDI, either aftermarket turbocharged or not turbo at all. The non turbo engines made 338ftlbs/185hp, and the turbo IDI engines (1993+) made 338 until the powerstroke replaced it in…
