Good morning New Hampshirites and fellow wanderers. 22* this morning. No matter how you heat, it's gonna cost you. If we had a gas hook up, we would have gone that route. Anyone use propane out there?

 

Morning everyone.
Night went by way too fast.

I was going to getconverted to propane but it was going to take 10-15 years to get it paid so u decided to just wait until we get natural gas in the area.
My oil furnace burns at 87-89% efficiency so it wasn't worth it.

Wade you should look into an underground heat exchanger instead. Get heart free from Earth

Good morning and stay warm on this terrific Tuesday NH

heat with methane. Just need to eat a lot of beans. LOL

 

Morning NH...Happy Tuesday!!!

 

Had to chime in from vacation land.
I use propane and love it.
I also install it. It is also more energy efficiency.
In the mid 90s. Highly remanded it
Much cheaper than oil.

 

What does the install require? Just wondering if I'm ripping open walls to run lines or not.

 

I would check with your local code dept on if it needs to be cooper or black iron pipe, on the interior walls.
Thats were I would start with.

 

Thanks Les. I'll check into it.

 

If you have any other questions on propane or installation just ask.

 

Will do. Guess I have to lay out the options and look at the numbers. I've only been putting it off for three years

 

Good morning everyone..

Hope your Tuesday is going good..

 

HA HA HA yeah just ask les....especially about turning the damn tank on....(sorry Les, couldn't resist)

And Ray, no matter what year or even age of the bushing, the shackles always come out like that, I don't BLEEP around, If I have to do springs, I always get new bushings, zip off the nut and bolt head and either burn or drive the bushing out. On one such occasion I took a long drill bit and drilled the rubber out around the bushing. And if it has a metal sleeve around it I just cut the sleeve with a carbide ball burr on a die grinder or use a sawzall to split the sleeve then drive it out. Been there n done that usually on a gravel driveway...

I'm going to have to figure out my coil problems so I can get that truck up on that there dyno and get a baseline. Already fixed cyl 8's misfire which was a corroded coil connector. I'm obsessing on this because come tax time, paddy is making a call to 5star and getting a tune to fix that crappy ETC (electronic throttle ctrl) this thing came with. From what I've read it really gives the 5.4 and 6.8 stick trucks a big kick in the pants...Paddy likey...

 

Good afternoon Pat. I'm looking forward to seeing that bad boy up on the dyno as well !! Sounds like you have some "stuff" going on. You maxing out HP on that poor girl?

 

I've never even see a dyno let alone put anything on it.

How is it to do the tesr? How long does it take?
Anything that you need to be aware before you do it so you don't mess anything up?

I'd hate to do it and find out my truck is running half the HP or torque it should be. Lol

Wade, is there even any space left still?

It only takes a couple of minutes. And that is WITH the three passes it makes. The truck just has to be in good running order. They bring the truck up and do it all. Each set up has it's own power band (5.4, 4.0, 7.3, 6.4, etc etc etc) so the approach is a little different for each. Really a cool experience. And if you dont get the results you want, well......time to bust open the wallet and find more HP's It's a ton of fun to watch !!!

Still have room to sign up for dyno, and plenty of room to sign up and attend. Everyone that pre-registers is going to get themself some nice stuff, AND we will be raffleing off all manner of stuff throut the day. Don't forget lunch too
