If I hit the reply button in my mail program (currently Netscape) I get the entire digest, and have to delete out all the stuff I don't want to include. Also the subject is wrong etc. I tried copy/paste to a new message, but that is cumbersome too. There must be a better way.

Someone correctly replied that the speakers are 5 1/4. This is for both the front door and the rear side panel locations. I would like to add a couple caviats to this. First, if you are replacing speakers make sure that the Ohm rating matches Many of the stock radios were JVC units that powered 8 Ohm speakers. 99.9% of the radios and speakers for car audo are now 4 Ohm rated. Not to big a deal as you won't hurt anything by putting 4 Ohm speakers on an 8 Ohm radio, but it better to match them. More importantly!!! Call Crutchfiled and order the foam cups that surround the back of the speaker. These will protect the speaker from water and mud that enters inn from the backside. Actually, the original speakers were to have had a partial or half cup that the manuals instruct should be installed facing upwards. I just finished putting in a $90 set of Polk EX502's in the front doors and KNOW that they won't appreciate the water that WILL drop down from time to time! They, along with a square of Dynamat, also boosted my sound quality. Crutchfield ( 800-955-3000) has these listed as Waterproof Foam Baffles. Cost $6 per pair. Part #'s are: 237XT55 FOR THE 5 1/4" STANDARD 237XT52 FOR THE 5 1/4" SLIMLINE (2 1/2" deep) - I used these for my Polks since they are "Top Mounting w/ 2 1/8" depth . . . close! Nice and snug!

Subject: musing of a Thursday evening
Another in a never-ending series....
John, if I didn't say it the other night, congrats on the offroad.com job!
If you need any help, feel free to ask!
Well, folks, would you believe I've actually been working on Timex?
Today, even... changed the tranny oil (for some reason, I had to add a lot
more than I drained... gee, I wonder why? <grin>), did a lube job, re-did
the fuel pump connection. It STILL leaks. But... 19.3 MPG in town the
last tank, so I guess, regardless of how it smells, it's leaking less than
the old one did, eh? I can't seem to get the damn thing to seal up. It's
not leaking via the threads, so teflon tape won't do the trick... it's
leaking between the line and the fitting. No dents, dings, or rust on the
line, either... hmm.... I'll get it sooner or later.
Man, is is my imagination, or have gas prices taken a healthy rise again
recently? Paid a buck and a quarter a gallon for the cheap stuff at
Cumberland Farms... seems like only a month ago it was $1.05/gallon.
Oops, sorry, Frank... guess I deserve a generous "wah!" from you and Sune,
eh?
Web site changes... blah, blah... corrected some boo-boos in the trivia
quiz, and the engine table... added some more links, added Karl's Chero,
John's snow pictures and the 18-wheeler... made a new page devoted to
stories of the incredible feats our chosen beasts are capable of... made
us of John's new FSJ logo for that... Super Jeeps! <grin>. Send in a
true story, complete with pix, and you, too, may just earn the Super Jeep
emblem for your rig! And, to answer y'alls probable question, no, I
haven't put the Super Jeep emblem next to Timex. Yet... muhahahhahaha...
I see on the weather that y'all up in the midwest are getting beat up
pretty badly, especially in the Dakotas, it seems. -70 wind chill in
Minnesota. Yuck. We're getting hit by a major cold front, too... it's
going to be 40 tonight. phbt! Glorious day today, not a cloud in the sky,
breezy, perfect temperature. Not trying to make any of y'all jealous or
anything... naw... not me... welp, y'all get paybacks on me in the
summer, when it's 95 and matching humidity... and the rains every day...
and the bugs...
I checked my mail briefly from the store yesterday... thanks, Ken. Tom,
thanks for the article, I didn't have means to d/l it handy, so it's still
on my server, it'll probably appear on the site tomorrow night, or Monday
at the latest.
Joe, how about writing up something about the battery truck, and I'll put
that on the site, if you like. Ah, that reminds me... where are my
taillights? <grin>.
Now, for a hood release cable and a transfer case....
Look like I'm going to be pulling Timex's tranny out rather soon. The
front seal is really leaking badly. Must have lost well over a pint of the
nice clean new gear oil already, and that just in my driveway. Yikes.
Thank you, Mr. Clutch and Brake, for doing such a fine job for me.... (do
y'all detect a slight note of sarcasm?).

First... his name... I mean, it's an old, honored name and all, but,
like.... who wants to named after the potty? Poor, poor man... it
explains much...
Of course, we all expected you to jump right in, John... we look forward
to it... and my scathing and brilliant replys, and your lame but
increasingly hilarious attempts to counter...

Well... so buy a scanner! For little pix, snapshots and the like, well,
anything up to normal letter size, we've got a smaller flatbed scanner. It
works ok, nothing fancy about it. $269.00 or $289.00, I forget which.
Its big brother, the Artec, which is a larger and more capable scanner, is
$389 I think.

Oh. I must be psychic!

You and your thilly right mouse button.... jes' click on it regular,
like... or right click to save as wallpaper or whatever with Netscape.
Yeah, yeah, we've all secretly been swiping your latest photographic
efforts as wallpaper, and haven't told you about it!
>btw, a cappacino (sp?) doesn't have the steamed milk, just the espresso
>and the foamed milk, tastes entirely different... :)
Ok, John.... local variations... uh huh... however... notice my last
name. Go to Phoenix and visit my uncle 'Nando. I'm all of
second-generation American. Been to Naples thirteen times (oh, lucky
me....). <grin>. So, I guess I've got to give you a more technical
explanation, you didn't seem to understand the first time.
Cappuccino... one third espresso, one third steamed milk, one third
frothed milk. Difference between steamed milk and frothed milk: Inject
air along with the steam and you get foam. Take a suitable container
half-full of nice, fresh, cold milk. I've heard skim milk or low fat is
best, but bullshit. <oops>. I wanna do it with half and half. Anyway, ya
got the tall mug or whatever half full. Steam the kronk out of it,
injecting only enough air to make little tiny bubbles. Makes for denser,
longer lasting (and better tasting) froth. When overflowing, cease and
desist. You have foamed milk on top, steamed un-foamed milk on the bottom.
Frothed, John... frothed.
sheesh.

Oh, where to start.... no skill, no aptitude, etc... and are you proud
of this, John? <grin>. Were they this way because of you, or despite you?
gpa... ok, folks, this is good... 4.0 to 3.0 in a year is .25 per
quarter. 2 quarters per semester, 2 semesters per year, etc. etc. etc.

In a message dated 97-01-17 00:03:43 EST, you write:
<< Could someone enlighten me as to why a manufacturer would lower the
hp and torque of an engine in an effort to get increased fuel mileage and
not lower the weight of the vehicle?
It would seem that since the engine now must work harder to move the
same weight, it would burn even more fuel to achieve the same speed, work
capacity, etc. So, what was achieved? A juggling of numbers? Robbing Peter
to pay Paul? Doesn't make sense. >>
the manufacturers get rated on an average of alll the vehicles they produce
for one year by the fed. highway commision
so they turn down the power ,save a little go-juice,heat up the engine
so it burns cleaner,then the oil dies faster,so-on,so-on
I am sorry guys I''ll start quoting the note i am responding to
is this a little better???

It is energized as long as the ignition switch is on. It could certainly be used as an idle boost solenoid by using the real idle speed screw on the carb. for idle speed but, you might have a diesel occasionally when you shut off the ignition switch. Your idea with the diodes is real good. I used the exact same set-up on the idle boost solenoid on the Honda to get it to idle up when I turn on the headlights. -- Michael Baxter at 74172.1164-at-Compuserve.com http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/MBaxter From Reno, NV USA on 16-Jan-1997 !^NavFont01F000AMGgHGpHI549ABA[Back to Top]

It stands for "Power Take-Off." They used to be popular on utility vehicles
in the 40s and 50s. You could for instance, turn your CJ-2 into a lawn mower.
It was amazing all the different accessories they made that where powered from
PTOs. To use a PTO, there was a shift lever in the cab.
PTO are still in use today of course. You just don't find them on consumer
vehicles anymore. All the aviation fuel trucks I have ever seen have PTOs to
run the pumps.

Subject: Grand Wagoneer 84 V-8
I recently acquired a 1984 Grand Wagoneer. It is not in the best
condition so I would like to fix it up myself. However, I can not find a
manual specifically for the GW except for the dealer service manuals(over 70
dollars). This is too rich for my blood. Also I am getting just over 8 mpg.
Is this normal?

Back in the 60's the car manufactures got into big HP war. No unlike the modem manufactures with the 28.8 vs. 33.6 stuff. If you tele line only goes 24.0 or 26.4, a 33.6 isn't going to be any faster yet lots of people ran out an bought one. It was a marketing ploy mainly. Who could put out more HP than the others. As a result, the invented all kinds of ways to get the most HP out of a production engine. Mounting engines in wind tunnels and then ramming a 200 MPH breeze in the intake for example. But the best one of all was the practice of stripping production engines of all but essential accessories. Like a distributor and a water pump and nothing more. It goes a lot further like carefully tuned exhaust systems w/o mufflers, etc. Anyway, what you see is the old Net figures vs. the new Gross HP. The SAE said you have to have all the accessories hooked-up, a production exhaust, etc. and all the HP figures took a big dive. Remember those 425 HP Corvettes and 375 HP Whatevers. They were probably really around 300 HP.
