midlant wrote on a 96 4x4 2500 w/cummins. is this an adjustment or a rebuild depends... when does the slip occur when i take off from a stop. not always. some times it actually locks up fine and takes off like a gasser would. do you feel its actually slipping or perhaps delayed shift to 2nd .

ok thanks to you and tbone for the information. i stand corrected in my assumptions. ;- bryan bryan.swadenernospam@comcast.net wrote in ohwell wrote tbone wrote they probably didnt answer because you didnt give enough information. exactly what year and size alt. different years use different color wires but in this case i dont think that it really matters and the field wires should be interchangeable. sorry it is a 77 b-100 1/2 ton tradesman van. i think the alternator is the smaller 65 amp one double grove pulley. does that help i guess i really do not understand why they color code the wires if they are interchangeable and seems i remember something about polarizing the alternator which would im guessing imply they are not i have a factory service manual for 77 d- w- and s-series trucks. the electrical portion would be the same for your b-series. the 18ga red and 18ga light-green wires feed the alternator field. the red is switched to 12v when the ignition switch is in the run position. the green is driven to ground by the regulator using a pwm pulse width modulated signal. the more current required from the alternator the higher the duty cycle. because the output of the stator to the rectifiers inside the unit is ac it makes zero difference in the function of the alternator which wire is connected to which terminal and the service manual makes no distinction. bryan .

suddenly without warning beekeep exclaimed 8/2/2007 154 am on wed 01 aug 2007 194754 +0930 jmc nogroupsspam@nojodibody.homeus wrote suddenly without warning mike simmons exclaimed 8/1/2007 1000 am suddenly without warning mike simmons exclaimed 7/31/2007 750 pm just wondering if its possible that it was actually the muffler that was causing the codes and if someone could explain why. twig said he thought it was unlikely that the system could sense that far down the system to throw this code because of a muffler problem. the exhaust system will not cause that code. the check engine light will i fear return. your truck is equipped with an obd ii diagnostic system that performs periodic self tests. after three good self tests the check engine light will turn itself off. thus if the problem was no longer there the light would have self extinguished by now. sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings. mike waaaaah! now look youve gone and made me cry! i was hoping thoug

ky thats a loaded question. yes alcohol allows a higher compression ratio without detonation risk but the 3500 degree no problem is still there. ethanol has 85% of the latent energy of gasoline so your mileage will be 15% less on pure ethanol right up front. with methanol you will lose 30% and natural gas 25%. diesel on the other hand has 25% more latent heat by volume and you with realize 25% increase in mileage. interestingly all these hydrocarbon fuels have the same energy by weight. there is no free lunch. as long as the no emission rule is enforced thermal efficiency will be compromized. great strides have been made with diesels however. this has been realized by the multiple injection events per cylinder cycle. by doing this peak pressure and temperature has been reduced which reduced the typical diesel clatter detonation allows lighter weight crank and block assemblies and higher engine speeds.broader power band. of course this has had the effect of also reducing thermal efficiency somewhat from .39 lbs per hp hour bsfc to about .42 lbs per hp hour but as long as we buy fuel by volume and not weight diesel is the hot setup. steve when they start using ethanol more will that raise the octane slow the burn so they could raise the compression ratio and get the economy up seems it would be better to get the economy up with supply going down. ky ky what causes that is the no restriction. all engines are heat engines and the more heat you can generate from a given fuel charge the greater the air charge expansion and more power but when temperatures exceed 3500 degrees f in the chamber the nitrogen in the air charge will combine with the free oxygen molecules and create no in the exhaust gases. by reducing that peak temperature below 3500 it drastically reduces the no. hence we have egr and lower compression ratios. this introduces thermal inefficiency and we have poor economy. its a trade off. steve funny how back in the 70s i had a 71 ford torino gt351 cleveland factory holley 4 barrel with vacuum secondaries and stock off the lot it got 28 miles to the gallon on the highway and in those days i rarely dropped below 90. my dad told me i was lying until he and i drove it to miami one week. he hasnt stopped talking about that car since. after the octane dropped below 100 it wasnt drivable so i sold it. ky joe cool wrote i have a 97 dodge dakota i installed dual exhaust and was wanting to know if anyone knew of some simple power mods that can be done to give my weak 3.9 a little more power i saw a spacer that goes between the air intake and the intake manifold in summit catalog that claims a power increase has anyone in here ever installed one of those and recieved the claimed power increase would a hotter ignition coil help maybe thanks ! the air spacer doesnt work. ive never seen a single dyno sheet that proves it. theres no fuel in that area so all it does is change the air flow. in the old days - carb days - getting more power from a stock engine was pretty simple. the factory has a very conservative tune so you just made it more aggressive. add timing add fuel. that has to be done by reprogramming the computer. check with jet and hypertech. moving the air in and out better is usually worth something. the factory exhaust is pretty good. after market systems will improve power at the top end. but you dont get a lot of nag for the buck there. a cold air induction is actually worth some power. the factory intake is kinda restrictive. a drop in k&n air filter wont help at all though. another tried and true method is changing the rocker arms to a bigger ratio. increasing the rocker arm ratio is like adding a slightly bigger cam. all magnum engines use the same design rocker arm. the 3.9 5.2 and 5.9 use exactly the same parts. but the v-10 uses a longer ratio. swap in the v-10 parts and gain some noticeable power. i have a set for my 5.9 sitting in the garage waiting for me to install them. dont forget the non-engine improvements - lower gear ratio lower weight better aerodynamics low drag tires. -- .bob 2006 fxdi hot rod 2001 dodge dakota qc 5.9/4x4/3.92 1966 mustang coupe - daily driver 1965 ffr cobra - 427w efi damn fast. .

is there a standard for the proper sizing of an ac/hvac unit to a home meaning if you have a 1600 sq ft single story you should have if you have a 2200 sq ft two story you should have count the doorknobs and divided by 7. about as close as anyones guess! the only accurate way to know is to have a manual j calc done. other than that a very experienced hvac tech can give you a wag and get pretty close to! i have seen 1600 square foot homes with 2 tons of ac that was to much and 2200 square foot homes with 5 tons that was too small! greg .

did anyone ever build such a thing iirc it was called a hyper pack. .
