just a thought you may want to look into bigger injectors first. im not sure how big you can go without other mods but it might be worth looking into. one other thing maybe it is me but the price seems a bit steep for the work involved. you might want to look into doing it yourself or shopping it around. im sure one of the guys at the tdr would walk you through it. or one of them might live near you and come over and help you. thats how that group works. you really should go here www.turbodieselregister.com and read up on what you want to do. the folks there drink diesel fuel instead of coffee. . 222 335503 135anqup9gmcb3a@corp.super.com hi again thanks for giving me suggestions on what the repair could have been on my older style cummins 98 manual 5 speed shifting problem a few postings back. now that i have the powertrain back in order i want to put in what this diesel performance place calls a performance plate on my injector pump. he suggests that they take the pump out r & r pump $300.00 then calibrate the pump calibration 275.00 and then install performance plate retails at 295.00. he claims i will get an additional 85 hp. the cummins motor has never been modified in any way. can anyone speak from experience in doing this he says i will get a 25% loss in fuel savings as a result of the modification also but have a guy at work telling me the total opposite hes saying my fuel consumption would be less as i gain hp. i dunno what to do about this... any thoughts on this...thanks...jimi well lets think about this shall we first of all the cummins b series engine in your ram is substantially detuned for this application so the recommendations of the diesel performance shop will likely give you the hp gains they claim. since you are doing nothing to the engine internally to improve the volumetric efficiency where do you suppose the extra hp will come from hmmmmm if you said the fuel go to the head of the class! remember when dealing with hp vs. fuel economy tanstaafl*! now you have a choice.. who do you believe... the guy at the diesel performance shop who does this for a living btw or a guy from work mike *there aint no such thing as a free lunch .

roy wrote i guess you can call it earnest money. im not going to tie up a 400k house for a couple of grand and turn away offers. i like dennys deal much better. with the current real estate slump in most of the u.s. i wish you luck. my house sat on the market for eight months and to get it sold the real estate agents involved lowered their commissions to 1% from 3% after i reached my bottom dollar in the negotiations. im aware of the situation with the real estate market. it is a want to sell not a need to sell. it is a unique house. im going in with it priced correctly for the market around here. the average here is about 90 days. if it moves great if it doesnt we will try it again next year. roy craig c. .

your vehicles rpms are lower the higher the gear your in. the lower the rpms means your engine isnt working as hard. just dont take off in 5th gear lol had a fellow tell me today that if i accelerate quickly but avoid 4th gear and shift directly from 3rd to 5th ill get better gas mileage. id seen a thing on tv recently that suggested something similar - shift to the next highest gear before you usually would would save gas because - not sure if i got this right - less gas is used in the higher gears than in the lower comments .

seeing as we have people that are varied maybe one of you can answer this. what do you think is a reasonable deposit on a house valued around 400k i dont want to get tie up with a idiot that is messing around. im of the mind that if you are serious then put up some serious money. does 25-30k seem unreasonable if so what is a reasonable expectation i think that i can fairly say that you have a snowballs chance in hell of getting anything like that. $1500 is the going rate for a deposit on contract so unless your house is the only one in the area and worth about twice what you are asking for it you will get no offers. who in their right mind is going to tie up 25-30k on a house that they know nothing about and even if they did how is it going to help you the buyer could still be an idiot messing around that happens to have a lot of cash lying around and could still waste your time with unrealistic expectations after inspection and then drop the deal and get his money back anyway. sometimes shit happens that may prevent the buyer form being able to close so why would they risk so much money would you i dont know of any responsible realtor that would allow their client to ever do such a thing as the risk is way to high. good point tom. just that sue has put a deadline on selling the house regards her staying up here and teaching another year. i just dont want to be up here another year. so im trying to find a way to really elminate the serious buyers from the dreamers. the problem is that there is no solid way to do that. as someone suggested put in a pre-qualification requirement. this will eliminate a good portion of the dreamers. i dont want to have to pass on offers because im sitting waitng from some guy who is scratching his ass and jerking me around. i understand that as well. what you might want to consider is hiring a home inspector of your own to inspect your house right now. make sure that he does a thorough job and then sit with him / her and go over it. see what he feels are real problems that other inspectors will jump on and that need to be addressed. then show it to your realtor and ask what on there he / she sees as real sticking points on getting the sale that also need to be addressed and take care of them. this entire house recieved a total remodleing everything that could be was replaced was. all with the proper permits im not at all concerned about a inspection. the house is like new. then you can decide what else you are willing to deal with and what markdowns you may need to make for what you dont do. nothing is going to speed up the sale faster than the right house for the right price and you do have some control on both of those points. very true. when we set the sale price i asked the realtor to come up with a price that the should move at. he sold my other house a couple of years ago in about 30 days. hes real good with his estimates. it should prove interesting to be a interesting exercise. in a few weeks we will be back in fl and wont really be involved with it. then again i may be putting to much pressure on the whole thing in my. desire to get the hell out of here this year. i cant blame you for wanting to move on but applying too much pressure can actually slow down the process as it may scare away serious buyers. i would talk to your realtor and ask them what the average rate of sales in your area is. at least then you would have some idea of where you stand. done that. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving .
