I'm still baffled how some people still manage to put gas in a diesel. Sure, you can't put diesel in a gasser since the diesel pump won't fit in the gas fill neck, but how and the hell do you not know you're driving a diesel and fawk up by putting gas in. And one more thing about the new 6.6: It is now B20 compatable.

lol i was at my brother in laws house for a bbq about 3 weeks ago and his wifes mom was telling every body a story about how she couldn't get the nossle to fit in the fuel hole, she said she just held it there and got most of the gas in, her entire side of the family was dumbfounded and thought they started changing the style of the gas pumps for newer cars me and my wife's brother walked away laughing with out telling her it was diesel, figured if she told her story to enough tards one might know the reason

And the cost of the vehicle only went up by $500 over the 2010 model. If your house has wheels under it, that would make sense.

Really? I must have missed that part.
No, no wheels on my house.

 

[HaleYes]

Now if you want my urea, just ship me an empty cup and a self-addressed, stamped envelope and I'll fill it up and send it back.

Urea is not what comes out of your ureatha.

Yeah, I tell you this, but you might not know the price jump from 2009-10.

Apparently you've never been to an auto diesel pump. Same size as the gas nozzle.

Do you think that diesel volkswagen beetles have the same size filler neck as a diesel truck so they can pull up to the truck stop and use the big boy pump?

Does the new chevy truck come with squeaky extruded plastic GM interior parts? I love sitting in a truck that feels like it was built by Little Tikes.

RAWR!!!!!!! the douchebag on first shift that runs my machines decided it was a good idea to turn up my radio with contact cleaner on his hands and the volume up button fused to the radio. I wish i could smack people at work and get away with it! Rant Off! :smsoap:

 

[XJ&CHZ4ME]

just got back from a 4 day conference in St Louis and it was in the same hotel as the Natl Leadership conf and got to talk turkey with some of the big whigs in the agency. might have a possible lead on a job in Kansas......wifey is not too excited about the thought of selling the farms and moving, but it would be a healthy increase in pay and she probably would not "have" to work any longer......but then again, it would be Kansas??!!

 

[FlexdXJ]

Little closer to Moab though!

 

[XJ&CHZ4ME]

about 5 hours closer...it could be in the Manhattan area, so at least it is in a college town and a place that would have walmart..not like where I currently live and a supercenter is an hour away.....

just the other day you told me that the new GM trucks were all better now.

whatever, they're all shit. Too much electronics, too much emmisions, too much maintenance.

Can't we go back to mechanical engines?

 

[kastein]

I actually like engines with lots of electronics, they have more for me to play around with

I don't how ppl can drive cars that are steering/throttle/brake by wire... What happens when you're going down the interstate and theres an electrical glitch?? :skull2:

 

[GoSlowGetStuck]

Urea is not what comes out of your ureatha.

So is it what comes out of Urethra Franklin?

Ken "can't spell geek without EE" Stein

I'm going to borrow that phrase... been working with microcontrollers at work quite a bit lately and I'm kind of hooked now. I am sort of joking about leaving to find a job where I can do that all the time instead of regular computer crap...

Throttle by wire doesn't bother me at all. Unless you're an idiot (Toyota driver?) you'll know how to shut off a vehicle. Brakes and steering... ehhh... let's keep that mechanical. Brakes should absolutely be the least-screwed-with, simplest system in any vehicle.

R-E-S-P-E-C-T!

Sock it to me.......sock it to me.......sock it to me.....

Literally sitting alone in my living room right now and laughing out loud like an idiot. Thank you Mr. Hale!

Yeah, I sang and giggled to. Jim was a witness to it all.:laugh:
I did verify with him that she was the one that sang that though......


Glad I could be of assistance!

[WrenchMonkey]

a supercenter is an hour away.....

I didn't know there was a spot left on the planet an hour from MallWart.

Sounds like heaven...

I have no issues with the electronics, I prefer fuel injection to carburetor. I just think that the ever increasing restrictions of the EPA have been counterproductive. The ULSD fuel and DPF nonsense killed the mileage, so yeah, they burn cleaner, but they burn twice as much fuel.

Only a bureaucrat can see logic in that statement.

You don't need thirty two evap pressure sensors to run a motor efficiently, no one ever replaces the damned gas cap anyway, they just drive with the light on. I'm simply saying that the epa has ruined engine management. It went from being a simple effective system for running a motor and turned into these gigantic nanny boxes wired all throughout the vehicle.

An auto diesel pump nozzle is slightly bigger than the regular gas pump nozzle. Keeps you from putting diesel in a gas vehicle.

I didn't know this until I tried to put diesel in my company car one night at oh dark thirty and i was really, really tired...the damn nozzle wouldn't fit...what the...oh...whoops, lets try to put gas in it...

tentatively scheduled to have tonsils removed 8/19...trying to get it moved up to the week of the 9th...

Brakes should absolutely be the least-screwed-with, simplest system in any vehicle.

Borrow away, I stole it from someone else. I fully agree on steering and brakes also, mechanical linkages can be inspected for possible failure much easier than silicon and thousands of lines of code, and they don't care about integer wraparound, stack overflow, or cosmic rays. I'm on the fence about throttle by wire still - with the ability to throw the trans into neutral it's fine, but if some wise idiot decides that letting people shift into neutral at anything other than a full stop is bad, hell no, give me a mechanical throttle.

87manche, yeah, throw that much emissions bs in and I get aggravated.
