I think it was about 10 years ago I had to go down to the Detroit area for a funeral. The 80 mph bumper to bumper traffic took some good years off my life. Since then I haven’t been on a road with a limit over 55 and haven’t had to get up enough quick speed to merge with traffic on an Interstate. DOW would work fine for me if I ever went anywhere at all.

You and me both Tom, I hope they drop the speed limit back down to 65 mph. Again with this price hiking that is going on.
Hey get this Washington State wants all car sale to be electric by 2030. Bye bye dino fueled vehicles.
Better start stock piling old parts for the gasoline vehicles.

If you find any other good deals on a V-10 4x4 let me know. Did they ever make a 4 door crew cab?

No the V10 never got a crew cab but they had a extended cab with half doors in 98 1/2 and later with a V10, obd2 of course up untill 2002

Cool I did not know the V-10 were OBD2 up to 2002. That means you can convert up to that year. Thanks for the information on that.

When I was looking for my truck, I was hoping for a opening back door cab truck with a V10, then swap all my OBD1 parts into it. I ended up with the early extended cab that does not have opening back doors, but maybe later I’ll find a cab to swap on. There was a company in Canada who made a true crew cab, very rare and very expensive, and to my knowledge only the Cummins diesel trucks were done this way. No v10. But if you know a good body guy it could be done, just end up with a very short bed. The extended cab has enough room for an adult to sit in the back just fine though

So The OBD1 in the V-10 were up to 1995, right.

It was a few degrees below freezing today, so I took the oppertunity to burn some chunks and spend time behind the steering wheel with the heater on.
One 1.5m3 bag of green firewood for a customer 12 miles away, and while the gasifier was lit anyway, I delivered another small batch of dry wood - ready to burn.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a wall of wood stacked so precisely JO. It’s a thing of beauty. One of these days I’m going to get off my dead ass and build something out of cordwood.

Who is going to be the one that gets the wood off the top of the covered pile in the winter time. Or does the snow acualy gets that deep there?

Bob, artistic woodpiles are probably more fun to make than practical to use

There is a German woman now living in Kentucky on a different site that stacks her wood in a Circular tower open in the center. I couldn’t remember the name she used, so I googled it.

People in your part of the world seem do do a lot of things with more style. I like that. A guy on the site I mention saw a picture of my wood stacks and thought they were good. They are crap compared to yours. My question is, being stacked that tight, do they still dry OK?

Tom, tower’s like that were a lot more common in the golden years, 50’s to 70’s. With early 70’s nuclear, electricity got close to free of charge. Later on with computers and smartphones people were suddenly busier than ever.
BUT - there’s hope. This spring - I haven’t seen as many wood piles in the neighborhood since I was a kid. Cheap energy is over with and it looks like people are finally going to get some excersize
Tight stacking?
It’s only a single row and a south facing wall. It get’s plenty of heat and ventilation. I bet it’s as dry as it gets already by the end of May.
Up here the months of spring have the lowest air humidity. People who don’t attend to their wood piles until the summer months will spend winter making steam. No wonder fall is foggy
The rows I stack in the shed (not as neat) takes far longer to dry, even separated a few inches and with both ends of the shed wide open. Protected from rain unfortunately means protected from wind and sun as well.

Here is a video showing Max Gasman’s Imbert Gasifer. He is showing his Volvo or Audi to someone on how it operates properly. Would have liked to have gone for drive.
He is very meticulous on his procedures.
