Polticians - blah!

Subject: He's not gone yet

 

 

One of the nation's largest soup manufacturers

announced today that they will be stocking America's

shelves this week with their newest Soup creation,

"Clinton Soup," that will honor one of the nation's

most distinguished men. It consists primarily of

a small weenie in hot water.

 

Chrysler Corporation is adding a new car to its line

to honor Bill Clinton. The Dodge Drafter will begin

production in Canada this year.

 

When Clinton was asked what he thought about foreign affairs,

he replied: "I don't know, I never had one."

 

If you came across Bill Clinton struggling in a

raging river and you had a choice between rescuing him or getting a

Pulitzer Prize-winning photograph, what shutter speed would you use?

 

Chelsea asked her dad, "Do all fairy tales begin with

once upon a time?" Bill Clinton replied, "No, some

begin 'After I'm elected.'"

 

Clinton's mother prayed fervently that Bill would

grow up and be president. So far, half of her prayer

has been answered.

 

American Indians have nicknamed Bill Clinton as

"Walking Eagle" because he is so full of crap he

can't fly.

 

Clinton only lacks three things to become one of

America's finest leaders: integrity, vision, and

wisdom.

 

Clinton is doing the work of three men:

Larry, Curly, and Moe.

 

Revised judicial oath: "I solemnly swear to tell the

truth as I know it, the whole truth as I believe it to

be, and nothing but what I think you need to know."

 

Politicians and diapers have one thing in common:

They should both be changed regularly,

and for the same reason.

 

And now for the other party:

 

There was a staff meeting at the White House recently concerning the

health of Vice President Cheney and his angina problem.

 

George W. said, "Men don't have anginas."

 

He was completely freaked when Colin Powell insisted that Cheney not

only had angina---he had acute angina.

    • Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.
    • 10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O. 
    • Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.    
    • apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.
    • yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
