Though Jeep, Libty is 100% girl car

That's a coal-fired Dodge for the Chinese market

Were you Sonny or Will?

The "smoke belching Mack" is sadly a thing of the past. Mack was bought by Volvo and the venerable inline six with the gap between 3 and

The Mack is gone, DDA is getting rid of Series 60 for a MBZ engine, and Cat is pricing itself out of the fleet market because gullible OOs will pay to much. Soon the Cummins will be the last American truck diesel.

You didn't pick up female hitch hikers in bikinis every week with ensuing hiJinks such as smuggling elephants across state lines?

Hmmm Was that BJ & the bear?

Dunno, our combines, tractors, etc. all had a small chuff of darkened air that could be called smoke. None of them exactly smelled like lilacs or roses. The aerosol content of diesel smoke is not overly visible, about the only time you would notice it is after several hours of photochemical reaction.

Will Honea proclaimed:

Some really dangerous fault areas are well away from the west coastal faults. You tend not to get many quakes, but when they happen, big stuff moves a lot. With the exception of the New Madrid and one near Yellowstone Montana, I can't think of one that has done much since pilgrim times. If the Moab ever lets go, you might even feel it as far away as you are.

Earle Horton proclaimed:

I didn't even know there *was* a fault there until I happened to be shooting the breeze with a Memphis auto salesman and the floor started shaking. Thought it was a freight train at first.

Matt Macchiarolo proclaimed:

Lemmie guess, the TV publicity attracted all kinds of idiots to the profession?

Too bad more folks in NOLA didn't have the same atitude about hurricane warnings

Power Service actually improves cetane and is a necessity when using #2 Diesel in Midwest or worse winters. #1 Diesel is the fix, but stations are loath to sell it because CAV and Roosamaster pumps occasionally choke on it unless lube oil is added.

In the Arctic they sell "Arctic Diesel" which is good for all diesels and also is approved for use in P&W PT-6 and Garrett 331 turbines by FAA edict. They also burn it in heaters for garages, etc. It's basically JP-8 in other words. Of course it costs more. They have to add expensive lube oil.

The FTYC should have prohibited diesel pumps to be sold that wouldn't handle straight K-1 Kerosene. We would have a lot less trouble but of course the redneck element believes business should be allowed to do whatever it wants and whenever and wheerever.

Yeah, maybe so, but you don't get months of prior notice for a specific hurricane...

I looked it up, thank goodness it's about 150 miles from us, who woulda thought, one earthquake zone to another. Looks like they have some pretty good shakers there too!
