With the more stringent EPA regulations that are piling up every day, I am afraid support for the mechanical diesel will not get any better than it is right now.

Most of the articles about the IDI I come across are more like historical documents for the Ford/IH engine that started the diesel pickup craze.

Most injections shops don't have a clue about increasing power other than turning up the fuel screw.

These days they probably want to find an OBD port just to change a freakin tire!

David, Thats actuality reality, todays TPMS systems are connected to the computer system. In some models you have to re-enter (program) tire changes.

Dean: i cut that piece of 5 inch pipe to just a little over 6 inches long, sent it today with my grandpa and he is going to make it true on the lathe at work, all i had to do to make it fit over my intake was sand the inside out a little bit, it was the perfect size, and another thing i got to looking at the box that you sent it in, and i got to send you some money man, you paid a huge amount for shipping i dont think its right me not having to pay you something for that

I'm glad to hear that it was the right size, I couldn't believe I had that laying around, 5'' pipe is pretty rare, I had quite a stash of 4'' and 6'', but that little doozy was hiding in one of my scrap piles.

Yeah, the shippin was pretty high, but its what I get for screwing around and not sending it earlier. Because of its weight, it would have taking 10-14 days to get to you, so I had to send it priority to get it to you in a reasonable time

You should have that poor woman who was working at the Post Office, she was thoroughly confused when I set just a piece a pipe on the desk and gave her your address. I guess most normal people don't mail each other a foot long pipe with nothing in it.

i have been told that im not normal, more than once, but who wants to be normal? normal is boring. anyway, dean im going to send you some money for that pipe when i get some money cause that was to much for you to pay for shipping.
