Well all i can say is that the only problem i had was head gskts and head bolts and she ran fine for the last six years that i had her and the dodge is doing fine other then the ft. wheel bearings and that is not Bruces fault or the blowen rear brake line . It is like this if ya want something to go fast then ya best be prepared to waist and engine on every pass . And if you are not willing then don't go playen as when they go they go and when they GLOW they blow. And one other thing here ever since the diesel powered pick up came onto the sean just how many of you guys realy know how to run a diesel . Do you give them warm up time and do you let the turbo cool down before shut down . Everybody wants more and they think that they should have 500 HP. in a pick up and 1350 FT. LBS or toqure well first off the dire line was not made for that so the first thing ya find out is that the clutch will slip thru or ya can't keep a slush box under it but ya still want more . Like my buddy was cryen about the muffler rusten off his dodge so instead of spending 85 buck for a new muffler he goes and spend big buck on this noise oversized aftermarket thing that is suppose to up the fuel milage and the only thing that it has done is put big bucks into some one elses pocket made his turk so noisey that ya can hear him comming 5 miles away and forget about driving with the windows down and i asked him if he was getting the fuel milage that the guy that slod it to him clamed his answer was NO. nochange in milage. So as far as Bruce maken lots of scrap metal what about the rest of the performace sene like Hypermax Bully dog Riverside and the list goes on ya push something past the design point first off the life of the engine goes down go a bunch more and maybe he will puck a rod out the side go enough it may throw the crank out the pan . Heck i can make your Farmall run lkie a scauled dog but the warranty is 10 feet or 10 seconds past the door or i can make it run better then what it was before and last several thousand hours. YOUR choise.

Talk of the Town: Winterizing Engines - To Drain or Not to Drain? - by Russ Berry. What is this strange attraction I have to equipment and machinery? How did I get this way? I came from the suburbs and own a small horse farm in rural Loudoun County, Virginia. You can call me a "weekend farmer." The local farmers do. Does it bother me? No. I am just happy to have their friendship. At least the word "farmer" is in my title. But what is the attraction? How can I explain the sensation and exhilaration I feel when I turn the key and hear the engine come to life (most
