When I was at Chrysler there were Diesel Libertys, Diesel Grand Cherokees, I think we had Diesel Minivans, and I saw some Mercedes Benz heavy diesels that had been put in heavy duty Dodge Rams. Sports car friends of mine have had engines shipped here from Europe. I have to think that there are additional options...I also understand that Arnold Schwartzeneger has a GM?Duramax swapped into a Wagoneer. John is right...Diesels are the wave of the future...the Europeans use a lot of Diesels in their cars...some very nice turbo Diesel stuff that you'd never know it was a diesel. ?8.5:1?compression gasoline engines are one of the things that is fundamentally wrong with Detroit. ?C'mon Detroit, do some engineering and spend some money on good metalurgy. (Sidenote: I lived in Metro Detroit for about eight years...worked in the old AMC headquarters for about four?and of all the places I have lived Metro Detroit was my favorite). It looks like the body dolly thing has been done with a fair amount of success. I think I will build one out of metal. I haven't checked prices in a while but I'll likely build it out of a combination of 1.5 in square tube and 1x2 rectangular tube for non load bearing parts. I'll be able to use it on all the classic cars that may come my way. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 13 Jun 2009 00:29:58 -0700 (PDT) From: john Subject: Re: fsj: Diesels, and Body Dollys I'll take any thing with a Diesel... well, almost anything...

I decided it best to use the WJ to make this last run as I had four or five barrels, several buckets and cubies and smaller containers... guessing around 110 gallons or more of WVO... I could have carried about three barrels in the tug, but it would have been on the bumpstops... so we used the trailer... I fixed the brakes, almost have them bled, could tell they were working, the rust is off of the rotors! Heading to Coure De Lane, ID on Thursday to pick up a couple of SD33t's, 727 and T19 with adapaters... towing the J10 trailer behind the WJ... this was kind of a test run, worked well, happy that the a/c is working. here's the fotos of the barrel lift's last barrel adventure: http://fotomeister.us/fotos/2009/06-Jun-13-last-barrel-WVO-run-more-garden/ALL.html broke out the 55 mm micro lens this afternoon... :) CAUTION: if you're afraid of BEES, step back from the monitor... :) http://fotomeister.us/fotos/2009/06-Jun-13-garden-bees/ALL.html compare the bee shots with the shots with the 18-200 zoom... http://fotomeister.us/fotos/2009/06-Jun-11-bees-in-gardens/ALL.html waiting for chuck to post his pictures from the Arlington car show, he had his '65 XKE out there... it was 72 degrees and sunny, too hot for us to walk up and down main street. ;) looking forward to seeing how good chuck's new camera does, nice Lumix G1! My shots are a mix of Lumix Fz-50 (pxxx) and a Nikon. Gotta love these digital cameras... ----- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Snohomish, Washington -o|||||o- where Jeeps don't rust, they mold http://AMSOIL.com/redirect.cgi?zo=283461 http://creationwiki.org http://johnmeister.com http://wagoneers.com http://fotomeister.us - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------ End of fsj-digest V1 #3355 **************************
