They offered two shocks, an SUV model and a light truck model. I chose the SUV version looking more for a smooth controlled ride and like them very well. I do not recall having much trouble compressing them to get them on. I think the need to compress them is due to the gas charge contained in them. This "spring" action will have little effect on the position or ride of the truck. Dave .....I replaced the shocks on my '95 F150 2wd this past Saturday with some Gabriels from AutoZone. I had a bear of a time getting the front shocks compressed enough so that I could place the bottom bolt through the lower shock mount.

There's an AutoZone right on my commute home, which I used to frequent based solely on convenience. I had a series of trouble with parts purchased at this AutoZone, from alternators to CV joint boots and more. I concluded that their low selling prices are an obvious result of low cost aka low quality goods. I started going out of my way to visit a NAPA and I am completely satisfied with them. I don't have anything good, bad, nor indifferent to say about the Gabriel's, except to wish you good luck with them.

Date: Tue, 20 Jun 2000 08:42:31 -0600 Tom H.(in Pheonix) asked a few fast questions: 1) Are vehicles with CNG (compressed natural gas) and LPG (liquid propane gas) running the same fuel? 2) For you guys with either of these. How many miles do you run between fill ups and .....how much does a fill up cost? 3) For anyone running one of these fuels. Do you have to pass emissions or are you relieved of this responsibility. That is, is alternative fuel the way to do whatever you want to the engine (for performace) without having to worry about emissions? 4) Does anyone have difficulties with extreme cold weather and these fuels? Phred (in El Paso/Las Cruces) replies: 1) Vehicles running around CNG diamond stickers are using natural gas that is compressed. It's the same stuff plumbed into many houses. The vehicles with the LPG stickers are using propane, the same stuff your BBQ uses, but it is stored in the tank as a liquid. 2) I have about 650 mile range with a small 50 gallon manifold tank in the bed of my truck. Because it is a maifold tank, you can't see it unless you look into the bed, its designed so that one can mount a toolbox on top of it. When we go on trips we fill with gasoline and propane, and the tiny gasoline tank (16-17gallons?) takes us about 250 miles and then we switch to propane and drive on for 650 miles. The CNG crowd are usually fleet vehicles with a predetermined route because CNG fueled vehicles have a very short range. A typical pickup truck with one or two tanks will only get about 8 to 15 gasoline gallons equivalent of CNG. This is not a recommended fuel for the daily driver that has long commutes, runs errands, and occasionally goes out of town. Usually the utilities, post office, and other delivery services use CNG because they always stay within city limits and close to the fueling site. 3) I know for Texas if the vehicle still has the ability to run on gasoline, it must be able to pass the standard emissions test. New Mexico drivers (that's me) don't have to deal with any emissions test yet, although this state has numerous other "alternative fueled" vehicles emitting that blue smoke screen behind them. In Arizona your state is very pro-alterative fuel since you get to by-pass the majority of your huge registration dues. If you want more detail and information about a conversion, there are a couple of guys I would highly recommend - in other words, steer you away from the "professionally challenged group". 4) The colder the weather the better the vehicle. You're dealing with a gas, so atomization of the fuel is no longer a problem, propane boils at -40 F so that's not a problem very often where you and I live. CNG boils at around - 260 F.

My F100 fill up is 200 litres, or a about 900 k's. The price I pay is about 45% of whatever the petrol price is. The fairlane has a 72 ltr tank and does about 360-380 k's per fill. > 3) For anyone running one of these fuels. Do you have to pass emissions or > are you relieved of this responsibility. That is, is alternative fuel the > way to do whatever you want to the engine (for performace) without having to > worry about emissions? Once again I can't speak for the mainland USA, but down here, yes emissions are important and if you are going to do the big block transplant even 502's into you 300/6, and you opt for Propane fuel, it will save you a lot of Design Rule hassles. Generally the emissions are less anyway. Add a turbocharger, and the 351 LPG, will produce less than an idling petrol 351. - But don't take my word for it, talk to our nephew Phred or Mr AK Miller. ;-)) ( Wow !!, nephew Phred, being elevated to the same status as my hero, AK Miller ?? - or have I just pulled him back to your status ?? 8-)) I'm confused .... > 4) Does anyone have difficulties with extreme cold weather and these fuels? Some of the list subscribers from Canada would be better qualified thru experience to comment here. Maybe Chris ? Anyway, the fuel can't thicken like diesel fuel. But once again I don't have a problem, generally. I have turned the regulator to a 'snowball' only once on a cold start, but the coolant was a little short on antifreeze - hasn't happened since and we're still going into my 3rd winter on Propane. > Just some random thoughts I've had. > > Tom (in Pheonix) Tom, unfortunately, that's not half of the story. Other bonuses in running 100% propane, include increase in bottom end torque - right where Our truck's need it, longer engine life, no washing down the cylinder bore and rings with petrol on starts, no choke so no rich warm up time, no carbon grit is produced so cleaner oil, no fuel pumps or filters to fail or clog up. REALLY being able to run on a 160F thermostat. The regulator and mixer are so simple - very little to go wrong apart from normal maintenance. If you choose to add LPG and make it a dual fuel install, then the above bonuses no longer apply to the same extent. This all assumes the installation is done by people that KNOW what their doing - and that's easier said than done!! Does LPG perform ? Well yesterday I was playing around with a Jaguar series I, that had a Chebby 350 conversion, yes that's right, cylinders 1 & 4 were burning oil - badly, but it was still quite capable of 'baggin' up the tyres' in 1st and 2nd ..... and that was on an A300 impco mixer - even suprised me !! regards Les ------------------------------ From: soffiler centraltools.com Subject: Re: Superchip Date: Tue, 20 Jun 2000 12:24:04 -0400 A "few" MPG?

The Superchips are available for any of the EECIV pcms and all of the EECV and OBD2 pcms. I believe Ford went to the EECIV in 1991 or 2 on the stangs and 1992 or 3 on the trucks. The speed density driven trucks pick up a LOT from the chips cause it allows them to be modified more than the stock PCM would. Of course the massair driven pcms accept a LOT of mods anyway, but it just makes it easier to do more mods with a programmable chip to adjust the parameters to accept the mods and have them work in harmony. The best place to purchase them would be from Superchips. They can be reached at Welcom e to Superchips .
