I agree 100% with this guy.Its the same BS in Europe.....Now every household in Ireland is getting a booklet on why we should NOT light an open fire including a bbq.It claims we are causeing 1500 deaths a year just by lighting a fire to stay warm.....Its long passed the point of absolute BS... Paul

Perfect!!

Yes, Italion and Swedish. Her maiden name was Dellafera.

Is Zina Italian ??

Zina made some garlic knots today, they were fantastic! I ate one at lunch time, and I'm still feeling full. I was like "garlic knots?.. what's that?"

Yep, they are yummy. I have a pizza dip baking now. I already toasted some small garlic bread crustinis to dip it.. No health food here tonight.. Just yummie...

I don't remember her...I'll have to go back to the Google machine.

I've made those many times, they're delicious 😋! Makes me wish I'd frozen some jalapenos whole now, instead of making cowboy candy out of all of them.

Oh by the way…. I get the cool part …. We were all 26 at one time… bob

Thanks for thinking of me, but No Thank You for this crew up here..... Enjoy the game!

All good.

thx, I thought so from back when I had to do the head and replace an injector. Sorry about all the questions, but I do appreciate yours and everybody insight

Looking for a grill for a 1948 EE, or EF

Man, I hope you can get it. Hopefully shipping is worth it.

I live in Louisiana, I have a 1948 EE and I want it . Just not sure it's worth the shipping, I'll have to look into that.

Large jalapeños.. forgot that part

Something Terri saw on the web.. split and seeded jalapeños, soft cream cheese in the jap boat, then a thick strip of sharp cheddah, then wrap with thin bacon. 45 + minutes at 400. Then.... well... you know the rest.

What are you making??? Can't miss the bacon. lol

heres one for Hippy..

Yes

Looks like the leak is actually coming from under the fitting on top of the injector. Does the just screw of and have copper washers for seal?

I'll agree with that statement. But the one single thing that draws the most and determines the limits is cranking and to a lesser extent firing of the injectors while cranking. Look at it this way, if cranking a large bore diesel in cold draws the system voltage down to ~6 volts, that has cut the system in 1/2. a 24 volt system that looses 6 volts while cranking is still at 18 volts. It is all about getting the truck running, once that is done, the alternator carries the load. You can afford to loose 6 volts with a 24 volt system, you can not with a 12. Injector firing is done at a much higher voltage on the new trucks, then system voltage. If the system is pulled too low it can't even fire the injector even if the engine is cranking fast enough to start. It is becoming more and more common on newer vehicles to have charging voltage controlled by the ECM in order to quickly replace what was drawn off when the vehicle was shut down. Storage batteries (common lead acid types) can provide small amounts of current for a long time but are extremely limited in how large a current draw they can provide for even a short time. It isn't a liner graph. A Maxwell supercapacitor can provide enough current to start a big bore diesel in -25F in the form factor of one Gp 31 battery, but can be totally depleted in 25-35 min by connecting a single headlight across it. It is the opposite of a battery, the Maxwell can supply huge amounts of current for a short period. It does not store more energy than even a single group 31, but can release it all at once. This is proven by the fact a single gp 31 can recharge the Maxwell multiple times (charging current for the Maxwell is less than 18 amps) Key off loads could be handled by 4 lead acid batteries in parallel and carry that load for a week or more, but not be able to crank the engine in the cold because the current draw exceeds the ability of the battery to provide, either provide more, or reduce the current needed. doubling the voltage cuts the current in 1/2. doubling the voltage does not increase the total capacity in watt/hrs of the system. You are still storing the same amount of energy, but can better access the stored energy when a brief large draw is on the system. I don't claim to be schooled on the latest, but the laws of chemistry and physics don't change. I do have an fair but by no means complete understanding of the modern systems on vehicles. I am by no means an expert. By raising the voltage, you are reducing the current required, and current is the limiting factor. Once the truck is running the charging system supplies not only the current to keep it running but also the current to replace what was used to start.

I may be calling it the wrong name, but basically more computing needs more power. Not to be a wise guy, but I think you might be surprised at how many systems and subsystems are actually on these new trucks (it's nuts) There's so much on new stuff, they're shipped with a lot of things in a "dormant" state so as not to drain batteries. Dealers aren't even aware of some of the things that need to be activated when the customer takes delivery of a new piece of equipment ( all $300,000.00 of it ) . In some cases, technitions don't even know what's wrong when the customer comes back complaining. In some cases it turns out just something that wasn't toggled on before delivery. They're not done yet either. They're just gonna get more and more complicated, and support is gonna be worse and worse. You'd fall over if you saw some of the prices for something as simple as what was once a headlight. What was a 30 amp breaker is now 4 processors working in conjunction with 6 other ones.

I bet Its a double walled plastic line. Look at E-tech return line...
