Q: tom whichever one is the heavier truck is the one that will need the higher horsepower. if aa/fds weighed the same as a 65 caddy theyd still be trying to break 200.mph. while true we are only talking about 330 lbs and when you are talking about objects weighing in at around 5000 lbs 330 aint shit. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving .

yep. from my experience he got one of the negatives he asked for and from my business experience i know he may not be getting full info from his customer base. typically only 10 -13% reply to surveys. now he did. your last comment was unclear but you have now cleared it up in this post. now he did i dont understand why it needed cleared up for you. it was a negative post and then i gave a little free business advice. did you know as high as 50% of those polled in customer surveys dont answer honestly political polls are even worse. how is my experience as a forklift mechanic bogus we used amsoil it failed. typically a forklift will wear at a rate three to ten times that of an automotive engine so in a short period we had more wear with the amsoil engines than we should have . . .how is that not a useful source of info if i were still working at that factory i could give engine hour log records but i dont. i am not talking about your claims of engine failures that didnt exist in the previous post. i was talking about your complaints and comments about mlms. i only mentioned it because you didnt make yourself clear. as for my opinions on mlms and pyramids all you need to do is look at some of the anti-amway sites for all the info you need. supposedly amway is a legal pyramid but it rips off people daily. how would you like for someone not directly involved with your income production to tell you to concentrate on bringing more people below you instead of building a succesful retail business build the pyramid not the customer base. a failed to live up to advertised claims. the distriubutor worked for the factory as well as sold amsoil and gave up on amsoil after hearing the results. the factorys corporate headquarters considered suing amsoil for damages. b engines wore more rapidly than when standard oil co 10w-40 was used. iirc in the 6 months those three trucks needed two overhauls fyi they ran 24/7 to one and a half for the standard oil lubed engines. c amsoil cost more because the distributor would or couldnt give volume discounts and fuel economy was no better either. that was enough for us to discontinue the use. and this is exactly the type of answer that he was looking for clear and to the point. before all you said was that it didnt do any better than conventional oil. oho!!! now youre net nannying again. have you considered the possibility that we could have figured it all out without your help tom youre trying to start another argument. im giving facts from personal experience and from my business experience. youre the one doing the bs. what help did you give have you used amsoil have you had a negative experience with it no i am not. your previous answer appeared to say that it didnt do any better than conventional and because of that it failed and then you went on complaining about mlms and pyramid schemes which has nothing to do with the question at hand. and this is your business how i gave an accurate answer just no details. those three engines wore out faster than the others including engines with more hours on them. without oil analysis i could not really be more specific yet you had to force the issue. to this day i am not 100% sure they wore out faster because of the amsoil because of the lack of empirical testing. therefore all i could really say was the three engines with the amsoil wore out too fast in comparison to the dino oil engines. heres a hot flash for you . . one of the freshly rebuilt dino engines wore out a week later but it was traced to a collapsed standard oil co. brand oil filter that had been damaged when the engine was installed. technically the oil was the cause because it wasnt being filtered much. well we see now who really is trying to start the argument. not at all. your previous answer was unclear but you have now cleared it up and it has become valid. sorry tom. it was already valid. it didnt need the t-boned-it stain of approval. tom youre nitpicking just to start an argument. it was back in 73 or 74. no oil analysis was done but rebuild records were. and i just gave the results. the reason for saying it was no better was simply because the factory environment was such that engines often failed . . it was the the fact that those three engines had all been freshly rebuilt and didnt last as long as other engines on the same production lines running dino oil. the whole reason for even trying to use amsoil was based on an attempt to reduce engine rebuild costs we averaged 17 rebuilds / year on 20 gas powered forklifts. oil / filter changes were done twice monthly fyi this is the answer that you should have given the first time clear and to the point. there is nothing to nitpick about with this answer as far as his question goes but if you reread your last one it was unclear and had a lot of irrelev

no idea. couldnt get close enough but it would probably be safe to assume the production engine and transmission would be the unit used for testing since you need to check the whole drive train right budd my eldest and i have been seeing several new as in next years model powerwagons and jeeps at a closed gas station here in moab. well it was closed but now it looks like its for vehicle testing and set up. i got a close look at license plates on the jeeps . . . michigan manufacturers plates. hello momma mopar! lets just say my son loved the looks of the powerwagons and i thought the jeeps were fantastic. i guess there might be one advantage to this little chunk of desert . .. . budd is the power wagon got a hemi in it or just a 340 -- moparman---remove clothes to reply! --scud coordinates 32.61204 north 96.92993 west-- its got a hemi. heres some pics http//www.hemitruckclub.com/powerwagon.htm .

you could put a small sub panel 4 or 6 position right next to your main. then you could remove one of your 220 volt connections like your ac from your main and power it through the new sub and use the open slots from the original ac connection to power the sub next to the main with a 100a 220v breaker. with that you could then add an additional 60 amp 220v breaker in this new sub to feed a second sub in the garage for your tools. this is easy to do and will save you a fortune over having an electrician do it and should be completely within code. i dont really have the room next to the main sub it is in a closet now. if i were to power a sub off the main ill run the wires from the main through the attic into the garage down the wall and into a sub. i may do it myself but first i have to have a garage worth putting outlets into. kids stuff has to go.... -- fmb only one b in fmb .
