    What did you do at work today?

    Placed this Aérospatiale Gazelle helicopter up on a platform so we will have more room to restore the B-17 that's taking up the rest of the hangar.... Not really work, it's more like fun!

    Fuel in oil

    I wouldn't start it up until you've got it figured out. That much fuel going into the crankcase and wherever else is a formula for a runaway diesel...!!!!!

    Payload of 2500 Silverado compared to Sierra

    Best payload is gonna be a 2WD ZF6 regular cab work truck. Every option from that point eats into payload capacity. GMC and Chevy are identical except for some trim variations.

    Question: Delo SDE?

    Thanks. "Better" doesn't always mean better, especially when the EPA has its fingers in the diesel oil pie. The new, improved PC 11 CK-4 API spec is supposed to be formulated with the idea of reduced emissions but it seems like there are often unintended consequences with new so-called green...

    Question: Delo SDE?

    Saw this 3 pack at Costco for about $33 USD, anybody tried it yet or know anything about the CK-4 API spec? I probably would have bought some except I already stocked up on Rotella... https://www.costco.com/Chevron-Delo-400-SDE-Heavy-Duty-Diesel-Engine-Oil.product.100340379.html

    81' 368 6.0L 4-6-8 cadi motor

    The 4-6-8 motor was considered junk in its stock form, it's amazing if you can find one that still runs. IIRC, it's relatively easy to remove the controls and make it into a conventional fire motor though. There's lots of info on the net, for example...

    LLY: New OEM LLY injectors?

    I checked with a couple of local diesel shops and they tell me that new (not reman) Bosch LLY injectors are no longer available, they can only get used remans. Anybody know if that's true?

    LBZ: Smoke detectors for garage?

    Most home security installations will use wireless sensors. I have an old G.E. Simon system with remote smoke, motion and intrusion detection in both the garage and hangar (the hangar is over 200 feet from the alarm console). These days, it's a good idea to have an alarm system to protect your...

    Starter Drag

    Mine (LLY) did that too. Found out the bolt that ties the two + battery terminals together was loose. You could also have a bad ground somewhere. Try clamping the starter case to a good clean ground point with a jumper cable and see if it makes a difference.

    Lly suspension issues

    Check bump stops when it's sitting on the ground (not on a lift) to make sure the "A" arm is compressing them a little. If not, your new ones should help a lot, bump stops are part of the suspension system and need contact to work.

    Matt aka SIKDMAX has passed away

    I am sorry to hear that, he was way too young. Life is short, tell your family you love them. You never know when you won't be able to.

    Need opinions on wheel quality...

    Don't have a dog in the fight. If I can't tow heavy with a particular wheel style, it's not going on my truck. Haven't managed to break my H2s yet....
