Q: nosey wrote yes there is more to it but no one thing changes the cost of gas at the pumps more than the cost of crude oil. thats just not true at all. refining costs are whats driving up prices now. there are numerous refineries out of commission now and the remaining ones cant keep up with demand. the price of oil has gone up $8 a barrel since this time last year. thats a fraction of whats happened to the price of gas in the past year. make a graph showing the price of oil over the last 10 years compared with the price of gas. they dont have anywheres near the same slope. other costs far outweigh the cost of the oil. thats just what the retailers want you to believe. .

lol -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving its those damn fuckin metric calculators i bet he got hold of those things screw everything up dale lol sorry gary but it is you that needs to learn how to accurately use percentages rather that the distorted fuzzy math way you currently do. it passes 50% more dirt than an oem 0.03 / 0.02 = 1.50 so what it still only passes 1% more dirt in total volume than the oem any way that you try to spin it. who mentioned total volume the numbers you are basing your distorted calculations on are based on total volume. what you are comming up with is meaningless bs. i was talking about relative filtering ability i understand that but when you are talking about high effeciency the number that you come up with is a distorted value that really means nothing. but thats probably beyond your comprehension no i have a full comprehension on how you are trying to distort the actual capabilities of the k&n with your fuzzy math. perhaps you need to comprehend the definition of fuzzy math although i believe that you are fully aware of its meaning. and still within factory spec.. btw now you are saying 50% more when befor it was 150% more. make up your mind or at least get your english correct. you know when i have to re-phrase it so even you can understand it then its time for you to admit youre in over your head it is not a matter of re-phrasing it it is more of a matter of stating it correctly. there really is a big difference between 50% more and 150% more like a 100% difference. it really seems like with so many other times the one over his head happens to be you. btw where exactly is that clockspring it depends on the vehicle therefore a k&n passes 150 % as much as or 50 % more dirt than an oem while true it is still meaningless unless you know exactly how much the oem passes thru and once you realize that an oem lets just about nothing thru 150% of just about nothing is still just about nothing. jesus f christ taking the lords name in vain is a sin you know. must i repeat yet again the numbers that this is based upon the numbers that it is based upon are already percentages that at least have some valid nmeaning. what you are calculating has no real value. reduced to semantic flames are you perhaps ypu should look up the definition of semantics before you fire up your accusations. this is not a matter of semantics becuaes what you said is simply wrong. face up to it for a change. tell me what is incorrect about 3 % / 2 % = 150 % go ahead fermat have at it that is not what is incorrect. what was incorrect was that you said the k&n allowed 150% more dirt into the engine which is completely incorrect. while this was fun for a while now it is getting tiresome so feel free to believe what you will. while the k&n is slightly less efficient at capturing dirt than an oem filter it does have less restriction to airflow and provided that both filters are within factory specs it is up to the owner of the vehicle to determine which property is more desirable. .

i dont know why you would want to do this. the nv5600 is big heavy low geared and slow shifting. unless you have 600+ ft lbs at 1800 rpm it will add no value. steve how about a dicussion about converting a 2500 qc 360 nv4500 manual over to a 6 speed nv5600. ive heard the driveshaft lengths are different and the flywheel. im considering going this route since ill be adding the procharger and a few other items in the not too distant future. so let the knowledge roll.... -- laszlo almasi carolina watercraft works inc. in the battle between money and love money will always triumph i may have to change my signature...... .

peter wrote i wish it was that simple. looks like the bracket that holds lower control arm to frame is bent and its not replaceable. the part can most likely be ordered. a body shop would cut out the old bracket and weld in the new after straightening the frame rail if necessary -- if they couldnt bend the old one straight on-vehicle. toyota mdt in mo .
