Hello Wayne
Just got done watching your video. It sure is cool to see how smooth you cruise down the road without missing a beat. I have been searching DOW web sites looking for information on which is the best truck to woodgas and correct me if I’m wrong but it looks like the 92-95 Dakota with the 318 is the best. I have run across a 97 Dakota with a 318 engine but from what I’m reading it sounds like it would have an OBDll which is not recommended.I would appreciate your thoughts about the 97 Dodge Dakota.

Hello Conrad.
Thanks for the nice comments .
1992 - 96 dakotas are my choice but you can go later if the motor is a 318 or 360. If you go on up to 97 - 99 and maybe later there is a shock absorber that will need relocating .
Kevin DeLonay has a 97 dakota that is running great . A video of his truck can be found at wood supply post 1781

Good evening Wayne Keith, Thanks for sharring your wood gas driveing experiance, and your excellent design, its all a good proven design. MY WK design gasifier is still working good. even though i built it like a tank, the design still works very well. And nothing at all like driveing with out petro. And running as good as it does on wood converted gas.

I was in a rush trying to get the hay hauled to the barn ( about a 10 mile round trip ) and racing a thunder storm .
I got all the hay rolled of the trailer just out side the barn and also got the tractor hauled home for stacking the hay inside when the thunder storm hit . Maybe better luck next time .

Thanks Mr. Steve .
The winds that came with the storm was near 40 mph 
The hay is in the barn now . I expect some to mold .

The weather has not treated farmers in the SE very nice this year.
I thought your barn was a drive through?
But maybe plugged up with all the wood chunks!

Hello All.
I haven’t been doing a lot of posting but have been burning a lot of wood!!
I didn’t want to bore anyone with more videos but have run about 300 pounds of wood through my work truck just over the weekend hauling in hay , moving equipment and running back and forth to the hay fields which is about a 10 mile round trip .
By using the wood I may have saved myself 15-20 gallons of petrol
Wood is not free but it is inexpensive ( around here ) and I get to control it
We had some wind to come through a couple of days ago and laid down a big white oak 
in rock throwing distance of my wood chucker . The tree is big enough to fuel my trucks a couple years .

Don’t wait too long to give us that V 10 rumble fix. I never tire of that sound.

Like $100 bills falling from the sky, right down your pocket 
Very satisfying feeling taking advantage of situations like that. Why I’m still collecting young birches already knocked down by the power company last fall. Did one more batch today.
A 10 min DOW trip there (which I don’t mind), an hour of hatchet work, another 10 min DOW home and 15 min of running the rebak. All together $150 worth of motor fuel prepered in less than 2 hours.
Not to mention all the fun. The kind of work I like to do while I take a rest
What Don said: Don’t wait too long.

Good morning Kevin.
The odometer only works about half the time on the old truck so I have to estimate the mileage . 50 thousand would be my best estimate .
