I love what you have been doing with words lately Ryan. It's refreshing to actually read something worth reading. I laugh and yet somehow feel...
"Ethanol has a high latent heat of vaporization, about 3 times that of gasoline. The difference between the ratio of heat of vaporization to the...
That is a good question. Sorry for the way I sounded above. One of the problems in discussing David Pimentel's work is that the "peer" reviewed...
Most if not all distilleries in MN are farmer Co-op owned. Oh, no now I did it co-op are communist things!
So how much crude oil does it take to get a gallon of gas to your car? Think about it, you have to ship it half way across the world, refine it...
I think what MN Falcon was getting at is that brady1929's ebay ad says that it has a 16 MDG and a 29 cluster. Which according to the 44 doesn't...
Hey NAPA Online has a '99 Intrepid battery cable for $12...
nobux, that is a good point about the cars being well picked over. I posted this just as an FYI to anyone that wants to take a look. I will not be...
Wanna-B -- it's not the EPA / Environmentalists that are forcing the closing. It is economics 101. Over the years fewer and fewer people showed up...
I did a quick search to see if anyone else posted this and didn't see it. An old salvage yard (Dickey Dean's) in west central MN is closing. here...
Actually, I think it was in '39 that Ford changed to the new style gears and because ford didn't throw things away you could find the old gears in...
99C-670940 is the Vin # for the truck. I think you are looking at a tranny that was in one of the first post war 1945 trucks. The 99 suggests that...
Looks like it could be a '37. I don't know of anything specific to look for. http://www.vanpeltsales.com/FH_web/flathead_model_IDchart.htm
Thanks Model A, I do agree that the auto makers are pushy though -- in some ways thats good though. If my '46 Ford wasn't replaced back in '68 it...
Good point! I guess I could go the other way with the logic. I have never seen a dead Prius, therefore they must be a perfect car.
My older son has participated in the state SAE supermileage competitions. His team score an average of just over 500 MPG this year. In fact one...
Sorry if this sounds like a few of us are trying to push everyone into a Prius. That is totally not the point here. We have just been trying to...

Don't take the article out of context. the actually quote is that its $3.25 of energy per mile for 100,000 miles. That is a total of $325,000 in...
We grow those poplar trees here in northern MN they do grow like a weed. But they are all grown on land that was condemned by the counties and...
There has been no new refineries built because all of the old ones have been able to keep up with current demand. I have yet to go to a gas...
I agree, my current boss does this all the time. He searches high and low to find 1 study to back up his bizaar beliefs and then pushes them on...
I don't think Squirrel was pushing the arguement. He quoted as I did the arguement in an article slamming the Prius posted by Digger Dave. My...
I love these competitions. My oldest son is on his school's team and I just got back from the state competition last night. My son's team got an...
"Through a study by CNW Marketing called “Dust to Dust,” the total combined energy is taken from all the electrical, fuel,...
That's odd. I know a guy that makes an awsome living crushing cars to recycle the metal. There are no laws that mandate that the metal be recycled...
Eight years ago I replaced my '73 1/2 ton Ford with a new Escort -- paid $8900 for it. It gets 40 mpg. I pull my fishing boat with it regularly,...
I hope I got this attached properly? This picture was taken from a car :-) I guess the lesson here is that if you are a deer hunter don't get a...
Hey, I was just thinking about some of these questions with my '46. What years had the same hubcap size? How new can I go with "later model"? Do...
Hi all. My kids and I just started rebuilding a 46 Ford 1/2 ton up here in MN. I love all the posts I have found here.
