With the UAW being the majority shareholder, one of two things is going to happen:
1) The UAW will still be greedy and drive the newly restructured Chrysler out of business for good (which I suspect will happen)
2) The UAW will finally...
One thing to bear in mind is that manufacturers in general only engineer things to last the warranty period, and nothing more. So when it comes to oils etc, they will recommend that which will meet warranty period requirements only. Extended oil change intervals come directly from EPA/CAFE...
Some proof of the claims I make that diesel fuel additives are just a waste of money:
The following are the preliminary results of a research study on diesel fuel
Lubricity Additives. There is likely to be further commentary and
explanation added at a future time.

Ford, Navistar settle engine dispute, end contract
Engine maker will stop supplying Ford at year's end
Automotive News | January 14, 2009 - 9:00 am EST
CHICAGO (Reuters) -- Ford Motor Co. and Navistar International Corp.,
which have been locked in a dispute over a diesel engine supply...
Just a quick warning to watch what you enclose your tractor in for the winter. I've used carpeting for decades, but last night, 20 minutes after I shut the tractor down, I saw flames shooting up over the tractor cab. Good thing I caught when I did, otherwise the tractor would be a write-off...
I got a job slinging parts for the local Massey dealer, at least until the calf market turns around. What I was wondering is if anyone knew of a page with equipment crossover information? Haying equipment is a cakewalk for me, as I know most of the crossovers by heart (ex. Case 3650 = NI 486)...
Actually I'd say that NONE of the breeds are particularly benefitting the industry. Even Limo was sitting at 38% acceptable for rib eye. That tells me the current quest for low BW, pencil gutted, framier pieces of junk is really hurting our industry. Cattlemen need to start looking at those...
Randy Kaiser from Kaiser's Celtic Cattle (http://www.kaiserscelticcattle.com/) blew on his little horn a couple years back, and like the rat that I am, I decided to follow him off the cliff and give Welsh Black bulls a try around here. I'm only about 1/4 done, but to put it simply: I am...
Its only a concept, but dang. Hino diesel and running gear, Easton trans. What that means is a diesel on par with the Cummins for longevity and running gear that none of the Detroit manufacturers will even remotely be able to touch.

More on Sunday when Dodge does the reveal at the Detroit Auto Show. I personally like the beer coolers in the back seat :) The rest of the Barbie Girl interior they can keep though.

The neighbor has me putting up his oats as greenfeed, and its been years since I did it last. Can someone tell me what percentage moisture content is considered dry? Don't want it spoiling on him.

I wrote this up for another list, but thought some may find some use for it here:
It seems like this topic comes up once in awhile on here, so I'll rattle
this off to clear up misconceptions and hopefully prevent guys from spending
big dollars on what amounts to a bunch of un-needed junk...
It never fails.
The sun is a shinin'. The birds are a chirpin'. The sky has never been so blue.
And the Diamond S Cattle Company's haybine is sitting in front of the shop, tore down into a hundred different pieces. At least one grease and oil covered cowboy sitting in front of it, clutching...
I apologize for the length of this, and some may find inappropriate for posting on an internet forum, however my outrage at the following events is near limitless right now.

Letter to the Editor
Dear Sir or Madam:
I am writing this letter in the hopes that it will inform your...
Anyone have any idea on how much a Landis #1 Harness machine is worth in working condition? Its missing the foot pedal drive, but by using the hand crank my uncle churned out many bridles and harnesses on that old machine.
I believe its a 1902 model, but I'm not close to shop to verify that...
Chevy outsells Ford by themselves (as opposed to the Silverado/Sierra combination) for the first time that I can ever remember. Its looking like by the end of this year, Ford will have to pull their "best selling trucks year after year" commercials. Tundra won't catch Ram this year, but it has...
