Hi guys.  I am not who I have said that I am.  I am 14 years old and I live in NC.  I am sorry I lied to you guys.  

 

Why did I do it?  About a year ago I joined another site that I will not name.  While lurking on this un-named site, I saw people make comments to others like "I bet that you are just a dumb 13 year old with a computer...".  As a result, when I joined that site I claimed to be older than I really was.  I heard about this site through that un-named site.  I joined up with the intention of raising #### and staying no more than a week.  I ended up staying for a year and 2500 posts.  Instead of coming clean when I joined, I kept lying.  After a while I began to feel bad about it, and I had to do something.

 

If you are mad or upset with me, I completely understand.  I would just like to apologize to you all for my actions.  I am sorry.

Finally we are getting somewhere and uncovering who this "paco" guy really is :thumbs:

 

Well, I for one can say that you've fooled us all and have to congratulate you, it's actually fairly impressive.  Now you're just making us look bad that a 14 year old kid knows more about trucks than we all do.  Well, that and you made fun of me :plainsmile:

Are you serious?  I never would have guessed that (seriously).  As far as I'm concerned your age doesn't matter too much, especially when you consider all the good info / making fun of jon that you've contributed to the site. :thumbs:

I haven't known you that long, but hey, glad you came clean!  

 

No biggy IMO.  :thumbs:  I doubt you're the only one, but I wouldn't have guessed it. I've certainly enjoyed your friendly banter on the site!

 

So, are you really a Ford guy, or is that a ruse also?  :P

So the mirror you broke off of the burb. was really off of one of your model cars right. j/k'ing ya. :thumbs:

actually that is based off of a real story, sadly involving a family member's  f-150, and a very expensive repair (it was one of the signal mirrors)

I just wish Hal (Newbie) would come back so I don't have to take all of the ribbing all the time :thumbs:

 

 

And, Paco, you were supposed to sell me that mirror, geez, I already mailed you a check and bag of potatoes for it.

I was looking those for the car, they look pretty good, but I'll wait for the cloth to wear out and start to look ugly before I lay down 800 bucks on that, but who knows, maybe I'll actually have some extra money laying around and be able to get it.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.

      Looking for this part for my truck. They don't sell just that one piece and to get it you have to pay over $100 even used for the whole air tube. The piece the hose clamp snaps into that is held on by the screw and nut. If anyone has access to one please let me know.
