He said it was real tight. I've looked at those engines and they're tall... This was about 3 or 4 years ago downtown near the waterfront. I haven't heard or seen anything more about it... sorry can't be more help. I did look at using a B19, 4 cyl Cummins in my FSJ but couldn't afford to do it... I think they use that motor in some of the UPS trucks... it's a bit smaller. A friend of mine at church has a '67 Travelall with a Perkins Diesel in it. :) john Robert Brooks wrote: > John; > It's been done on a FSJ? > Do you know any particulars on the swap? > Thanks; > Bob > > > At 12:54 AM 2/28/04 +0000, wagoneers.com-at-comcast.net wrote: > >> a 5.9L Cummins TD barely fits into a Full Size Jeep... barely... >> I can't see how you'd fit one under the hood... unless you took >> the axle out and had it sitting on the ground... :) >> >> john >> > Anybody on the list ever look at putting a Cummins 5.9 in an XJ. >> > >> > There are a couple of outfits that offer kits to put them in Ford >> trucks >> > but I don't ever remember seeing on in an XJ. >> > >> > I have seen a couple as Scout conversions. >> > >> > Bob >> > >> > >> > >> > At 08:54 AM 2/27/04 -0800, you wrote: >> > >On Fri, 27 Feb 2004, Vernon Tuck wrote: >> > > >> > > >-->Wasn't there a Jeep which came with a Peugeot diesel engine, >> produced at >> > > >-->some time and in some part of the world?? >> > > >> > >yes, I think so... the CJ series... they also used the Perkins >> Diesel. >> > > >> > >current/recent models in Europe have used the VM Diesel (Italian) >> > > >> > >john >> > > >> > > >--> >> > > >-->What's interesting about Peugeot is, to my understanding, >> they were the >> > > >-->first auto manufacturer to put a diesel engine into a car. >> > > >--> >> > > >-->On that basis alone I bought an engine out of a late 70s 504 >> station >> > > wagon >> > > >-->in the hopes that I could some day transplant it into a Jeep. >> > > >--> >> > > >-->Another one of my hare brained ideas... >> > > >--> >> > > >-->VT > > - -- - ------------------------------------------------------------------ john at http://wagoneers.com from Snohomish,WA- where Jeeps don't rust, they mold... reminding you not to leave life w/o Jesus! - ------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 27 Feb 2004 23:49:40 EST From: Brazzadog-at-aol.com Subject: fsj: Re: Rhino Chaser Grille IIRC, the headlight trim rings are the same as on a CJ.

I'm thinking about moving over in a week or so and dumping MSN Access permanently! (Tired of the foulups) They advertise $10.95 a month unlimited access. From: john Subject: fsj: ot: road warrior "on ramps'? It looks like I'm going to be doing the road warrior gig through April... flying down to Tucson on Sunday to teach three days of Solaris, week and a half later back down to Oregon for 2 days of Solaris, then the end of March in MO for a day of HP-UX and Solaris and three days of Linux... then maybe three weeks in PA... I think Denver and Red Hat are part of the mix too... If I could line 'em all up at once I could just drive to 'em all, but it never works that nicely. :) (BTW, my '91 300d got 37.8mpg on the trip home from the last Linux class in Oregon!!!) anyway... my question is this... what's a suitable and inexpensive dialup service that I can access in places like Sierra Vista, AZ, Mount Poconno, PA, Denver, CO, and Jefferson City, MO??? At least in Oregon the hotel had high speed internet access in the room... I've got a netzero dialup but all the crap that came through in ads and popups isn't worth the "free" part. Any thoughts on using Earthlink? I had a trial account when I was back in PA a couple years ago and it was ok... The other option is to use my cell phone (14.4k connect) and pay my existing isp for dialup access... :( thanx, john ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 28 Feb 2004 09:39:09 -0700 (MST) From: Diana Eichert Subject: fsj: Re: fsj-digest V1 #2107 On Fri, 27 Feb 2004, john wrote: > Date: Fri, 27 Feb 2004 20:05:24 -0800 (PST) > From: john > Subject: fsj: ot: road warrior "on ramps'?

This file may be found on the web at http://www.digest.net/general-notes.txt [last revised 5/1/02; removed list of spam strings, as i'm not the only one filtering on them -- rpw] Additional information on Digest.Net's spam policies may be found at http://www.digest.net/email-policy.html and http://www.digest.net/blocked.html Table of Contents 1. Why don't my postings go through? 2. Why can't I unsubscribe? 3. How do I post to the list? 4. Where are the archives? 5. What other lists are on digest.net? 6. Is there a web subscription form? 7. Why not move the lists to someplace like (egroups, topica,...)? 8. How do I contact the server adminstrator in an emergency? 9. What is Krusty Motorsports, anyway? The Meta-FAQ 1. Why don't my postings go through? There are several things that may interfere with postings making it to the list. a) Are you a member? Some read the ftp archives rather than receiving the list in email. Persons who read the list via email are automatically members, but readers of the FTP archive are not, and need to contact me (rwelty-at-krusty-motorsports.com) and get your name added to the list of "permitted senders". b) has your email address changed? some of you have had changes in your email address. your old address still works, and is still on the list, but your From: line shows a new address. this can happen for various reasons; you may have changed jobs or ISPs, and left a forward in place, or your IT staff may have fiddled with the email system. you will need to unsubscribe your old email address and subscribe the new one. this may require my involvement, if you can't figure out a way to get your old address off the list using the conventional majordomo commands. you can use the majordomo "which" command to probe for old addresses. send a message to majordomo-at-digest.net with one or more which commands in the body, one per line. to check for potential addresses for Fred Flinstone, formerly of bedrock.org, the following commands can be sent: which flintstone which bedrock note that the matches above might return any of the following addresses, if they appear in the list (in other words, you can use vagueness and incompleteness in your recollection as a tool): Fred.Flinstone-at-bedrock.org fflinstone-at-wilma.bedrock.org flintstonef-at-bedrock.com c) do you have more than one email address? if so, only the subscribed addresses can post, unless you contact me (see 1.a) above for relevant information) d) are you using (intentionally or accidentially) special "features" of your mail client? [this section is no longer operative, as the demime software now strips html, attachments, rich text format, etc. from postings automatically.] e) are your posts too large? there is a 10,000 character limit on posting sizes; this is done for various reasons. you can always split up large postings to get mail through. f) are you including majordomo commands at the start of your message? administrivia control is turned on; this is a trap for things like "unsubscribe" at the start of a message. try to avoid obvious majordomo commands in the subject and the first 10 lines, or misspell them in obvious ways (e.g. unzubscribe, 1ndex, h3lp, g3t, etc.) g) are you triggering spam traps? some things are red flags; for example, many phrases found commonly in spam are automatically blocked. h) are you using "funky" character sets? [7 bit restriction lifted experimentally on 8/2/00 -- film at 11] unfortunately, there are "issues" if i permit any character set other than old fashioned 7 level ASCII; therefore, you need to avoid national character sets that include various accents, umlauts, national currency characters such as the British pound symbol, etc. i) are you unintentionally including complete digests in your reply? You need to check and make sure you cut down replys to the minimal size; digests are between 20,000 and 25,000 characters in length, and if you include a complete digest in your reply, it clearly won't make the 10,000 character limit. By the way, this feature is intentional. j) Are you using a "bad" ISP or mail relay? See http://www.digest.net/email-policy.html for more information about Digest.Net policies about email. k) Is the error message you get back "User Unknown"? If so, you may be running afoul of spam control severices (again, see http://www.digest.net/email-policy.html) When these services register a hit, the error code 550 is returned. 550 is a generic code that many broken mail systems report as "user unknown". The "rejectlog" entries for the previous day's mail traffic on digest.net may be viewed at http://www.digest.net/rejectlog.01 Some of you may find it useful or instructive to use the telnet program to connect directly to port 25 on krusty-motorsports.com and see what kind of reply you get; this requires some technical knowledge and is not for everyone (you can get out of this at anytime after the initial banner simply by typing quit and hitting enter.) l) Is SMTP over TLS involved? This is a bit esoteric, but as of 8/8/01 the digest.net mail server will attempt to use "TLS" (Transport Layer Security) for outbound mail if the destination mail server offers it. SMTP over TLS is fairly new technology, and a bit buggy. I am monitoring the logs on the server, and when I see TLS related problems, I manually place the problem destinations on a special exception list; however, this may delay email to the destination host until I make the exception. 2. Why can't I unsubscribe? a) are you using the right address? send to majordomo-at-digest.net, and the command format is unsubscribe list-name my-email-address b) has your email address changed? majordomo has no way of knowing that Fred.Flinstone-at-BarneyCo.com was once fflintstone-at-bedrock.org. you can check this with the which command (see 1.b) above for details) 3. How do I post to the list? You may use either one of two addresses: for example, the bmw-digest may be reached using either bmw-at-digest.net or bmw-digest-at-digest.net If you are using the correct addresses and your posts don't show up, check out the stuff in 1. above. 4. Where are the archives? see ftp://ftp.digest.net/ for digest archives. the web archives have proven problematic, and are awaiting time for a systematic attack on the problems they've been having. 5. What other lists are on digest.net? see http://www.digest.net/ for more information. 6. Is there a web subscription form? Yes, recently added. go to http://www.digest.net/bin/digest-subs.cgi 7. Why not move the lists to someplace like (egroups, topica,...)? The Krusty Motorsports server (aka, digest.net) was explicitly to provide for efficient management of the various automotive mailing lists, done the way that the owner of the server wanted it done. Any migration off of the server (which is already bought, paid for, and configured) would create any number of issues. 8. How do i contact the Server Administrator in an emergency? If my regular email address (rwelty-at-krusty-motorsports.com) isn't working for you, you can fall back on rwelty-at-suespammers.org 9. What is Krusty Motorsports, anyway? Krusty Motorsports (http:/www.krusty-motorsports.com/) is a business which is owned and operated by Richard Welty (rwelty-at-krusty-motorsports.com). Krusty is an S-Corporation in the State of New York. Krusty provides a number of Internet related services, such as mailing list, web sites, pop3/telnet accounts, and consulting on internet related issues.
