Unfortunately you won't find any. OBDI just doesn't do that. You could write your own if you wanted though. Injector pulse rate, duration and size would give you consumption rate. Speed sensor, differential ratio and tire size gives you speed. Then do some division. Easy as pie.:D

194,000 Water pump, fuel pump and window motor gears are the only things not related to rocks or wrecks.

Pulled it back and forth a little in the driveway this morning. When I opened the fill hole it drained out a little and everythings fine. Was filling it through the ABS sensor hole (just enough room to turn a quart bottle straight up) like last time. Maybe got a weird air bubble or...

Didn't think to check before. Nope, no leaks at the axles, gasket, pinion seal, fill port. Oil was a little dark but not black or burnt smelling. So, keep adding till it's just below the hole, scrub everything till it shines and watch for leaks?

Just poured the drain pan into the empty bottles. There was 3.5 quarts, but a little of that was water from somewhere. Definitely wasn't brown coming out of the truck. It's been about 40,000 miles since I last did this. Don't remember how much I put in then, but the gears still look...

How do you get 6 pints of gear oil in a Ford 8.8 3.73LS differential and not be full? That's what is in it right now. No visible leaking. Still not even close to the fill hole. Drained what looked to be about 2-3 quarts when I pulled the cover. Where could it be going? Axles? What...

It's very unlikely you will pass emissions. Swapping to true duals has no affect on the EGR system. It works by adding an inert gas (exhaust just happens to be a handy source) to control combustion temperatures. You no longer have that control.

Yes Officer, I know I was speeding, but it wasn't my fault. See, my "friend" here kept spraying carb cleaner into the air vents and the brakes just couldn't handle the power. Sure, I can step out of the vehicle. Of course, it would be my pleasure too walk along this straight line....:D

Nope, in general the Northern U.S. is higher than the South, I didn't mean compasses point up. Of course it's 10PM here and I got up at 5AM so read what I mean, not what I type.:p One of the future advances for mag-lev trains will be vacuum tunnels. Engineers estimate that after...

Where did that come from?:confused: And reading is good.;) "in a windless tunnel"

Bah, has nothing to do with magnetic fields, changes in gravity or prevailing winds. In most of the U.S. North just happens to be towards higher elevation. Over a long enough trip, if you were driving in a windless tunnel at a constant speed the entire time you would see a small change...

That's because arc discharge lights are completely different from filament lights. Bulbs and housings are not universally interchangable like that.

Who said anything about taking the mic to the truck?:confused: :D

That's wrong, it's designed for stock lights.

There wouldn't happen to be a metal grate or hole cover next to the pumps would there? You know, like under the truck, just about where the oil plug sits?;) :D

The belt tensioner has two markings on the housing and one on the arm for measuring wear. As long as the arm mark is between the housing marks all is well. 2" will probably be too short. I went down a 1/2" and was perfect.

An ammeter would go up with more accessories and down with less. Engine RPM would only affect it if the alternator was incapable of producing the required current at that RPM. A voltmeter, what is on the dash, however should stay rather steady, only fluctuating with high loads turning on/off...

I meant the tractor itself would have to weigh more than the load. According to that logic, to "safely" pull that 56 ton load the tractor would have to have been over 56 ton's itself. And can you imagine the weight of a train engine in that world.:eek:

And you could go on about Chevrolet, GM, Dodge, Cadillac, Lincoln, Honda, Toyota, BMW, Mercedes, Ferrari, Volvo, Voltswagen, Rolls Royce, Opel, Suzuki, Kawasaki, Harley Davidson, Yamaha, Hondai, Daewoo......

Hah!! Could you imagine if that was true? Big rigs would have to weight over 40 tons.:rolleyes:

Cylinders are labeled Back of X 36 25 14 Front of X Coil pack goes Back 34 26 15 Front

He didn't say giving the fogs "high" and "low" beams. He said you could have the fogs on with the High, Low or both. As in one setting has the fogs on whatever the headlights are doing. One has them on when the high beam is on. And one has them on when the low beam is on. The only way...

Some engines came with different plugs, some got all one kind. For balance every cylinder is paired with another that is 180 degrees out of sync. The piston in each travels up and down together, but while one is on the compression stroke the other is on the exhaust. Ford designed the...

Just think,if it was a boat you'd only be at 86,901.:D

I don't want to burst your bubble.... wait, yes I do. Yes, most petroleum products are carried by common carrier pipeline at some point. And no that doesn't mean gasoline is gasoline. It's called batching. Through scheduling and proper use of spacing mixtures the same oil lines carry regular...
