I think it's 1,500.

For Steve, it's been so long that he has forgotten.

The square stop accumulating, but you can still earn new pat-upon-the-back phrases.

Well this seems to explain it.

"KETTLEMAN CITY, Calif. (AP) - The Environmental Protection Agency says a central California landfill that local residents blame for birth defects can continue accepting hazardous waste."

I am mistaken

Found my truck's ticking sound this morning...loose d/s exhaust manifold. I'm glad it wasn't an injector hammering.

Bill's correct, 1500.

OK, everybody, let's rep Pat to push him over the top for that final greenie.

He only needs 88 more.

Do you think it was leaking much?

My coolant filter is supposed to be delivered today.

It's not the hazardous waste...it's the lousy water on the West side of the Central Valley. That's where all of the pesticides drain to. Look up rates of childhood cancer for the City of Huron.

Enough to show soot on the engine block and put out an audible tick when the motor was cold.

I ran a bit slower at the track this weekend, but being as hot as it was I don't know if I can attribute that to the leak or just the bad air.

Noticed some turbo surge coming up the back side of the Grapevine also, but that may have been the speed I was running at...when I slowed down it went away.

Relatively cheap, simple to put on and it might keep you from having to replace oil/egr coolers.

Yeah, I've been mulling that over. May do that this summer.

Well, at the moment, all of my moola is tied up with the 67. As soon as I get the frame coated, reassembled, and painted, I'll look into one of those filters.
