Re: Diesels
I have a 2.2 Litre turbo diesel Mazda BT50 truck. Living in balmy Tasmania where there are no issues needing a block heater. Apart from the generous flat tray it is very economical on diesel so fuel costs are significantly less even with diesel and petrol (gas ) at similar prices.

Re: Diesels
Ain't there a single country boy in this group? Grousing about the ride? These things ain't a limo. They ain't even a station wagon for momma to use picking up the kids after school. They are TRUCKS. They are meant to haul Hay, take Bossy, or a couple of heifers, or a sow, or whatever -- where ever they need to go. Or bring hay or barbed wire and fence posts to the quarter section (poor), section (rich) that you are farming. And Bossy don't care about bounce. If you care about bounce you are driving too fast on those dirt roads. Now, about this 150/1500, 250/2500, 350/3500 stuff. Here's the poop. In Heavy Duty Work or Drayage (Heavy load Short Hauling) here is how these haulers are rated: Load Plus 100% Overload. Thus a 150 or 1500 (those numbers mean NOTHING) is duty rated at One Half Ton -- Plus a 100% Overload or -- Ta Da -- a Ford F150 or Chevy/Dodge/Whatever 1500 is rated at, and will, should, is designed to HAUL a One Ton Load of Beeves, Mutton, Pork, or Fence All Day Every Day at Farm To Market Speeds, over Farm to Market Roads. Ain't nothin' changed about that since Henry was alive. And the F250/C2500 are of course the Three Quarter Tonnage Version, Plus Overload, Meant to Haul, Day In, a Ton and A Half. Not You and your city butt. Rather Cows, Swine, whatever. And the Mighty F350/3500? That is the One Tonner, Meant to Haul Two Tons, over Farm to Market Roads (dirt, asphalt, rutted, pot-holed, road-graded, occasionally Actually Paved) at 1940's to 1960's speeds. Guess what? They will do that. All Day. Want a smooth Ride? Buy a Jaguar XJL. But at my place, when I put on my Justins, my Wranglers, button up a blue chambray work shirt, grab my Wells Lamont Gloves and Bailey Hat (Stetson's are for Church -- or Court) and head out to back where the trucks are parked, I ain't looking for a carriage ride. There. Have I shamed enough of you to quit bellyaching about 'soft rides' so we can all start talking about Cameras? (Oh, we sold the 1,000 Acres in Lincoln County, Oklahoma, and the 1,200 head of beeves some time ago. Down to a more manageable size.) Would talk more, but got court tomorrow.

It's why the Tundra and Titan rate behind GM, even though they are a much better truck. It's a tough market, and they are relative newcomers in it. Can't wait till GM starts selling aluminum trucks - they're working on them now. It might help with their rust out problems, though I bet GM will find a way to make aluminum corrode.

DXO Filmpack 3
Well the question is, did anyone download, and keep the installation package for this software when DXO made it available for free a couple of years ago? I have the software key, but no installation so when I attempt to use the photoshop plugin it leads to decidedly weird behavior on my new installation. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

On my screen, the tonality looks a little flat, maybe bump up the contrast? Also, lightroom has a perspective feature that might be able to make the floors a bit more parallel. There is a chance that could be an improvement.

Re: Diesels
Here in the south, you probably would want Air Conditioning. I remember what summers were like before it became pretty much standard on even the base models. Personally, I will never buy another vehicle that doesn't have Cruise Control. I've gotten spoiled by not having to worry about speeding tickets, plus it does seem to improve your gas mileage. And now, going through through my seventh winter with the Focus, I've decided heated seats are *The Bomb!* No more shivering, waiting for the engine temp to get up enough so the heater will finally warm the passenger compartment.

Re: Diesels
no. Power (heat) = V^2/R, so inversely proportional to resistance and squared directly proportional to voltage. So a really low resistance or a even just a smal boost in voltage will produce more power (heat).

Re: Diesels
Chevy trucks dominate the J.D. Power reliability rankings, with Ford a close second. Ford trucks outperform Chevy in towing and hauling. Car & Driver ranks trucks by overall quality and performance and puts the Ford F-150 first and Chevy Silverado second. The Nissan Titan is ranked fifth, besting only Toyota Tundra. Kelley Blue Book’s top ten are all Chevy and Ford models, with Chevy 2500 taking the top spot. Ford Super Duty was Motor Trend’s truck of the year.

I test muy block heater with one of those live wire testers that you just have to touch the cable and it beeps if current is going through the wire. I think you know what tool 'm talking about. Got mind at CTC for about $14 on sale. They tested it at the dealership with something similar, said it's fine. I put an ohm meter across it and got very low resistance compared to the heater in my wife's little car. It has continuity, but I don't think it is making heat. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
