Wayne's V-10 Ram

Hey JO

When I am driving the old truck I notice little noise but on a video I can hear all the rattles and motor noise.

Your just accustomed to the dodge life, my truck rattles to beat the ban. Door panels, mirrors, b piller covers, seat rails they all make a racket on a bumpy road and at one time I had all the noises fixed. Last maybe 3 months :joy:

I worked the ole work truck just about all day today ( pretty much a typical day ) with farm related work . Only drove about 50 miles but about 20 start ups and shut downs . Just one lighting of the gasifier this morning and all the other start ups were with a little gasoline assist or straight wood gas .

With my trapline stops I’m started to get good at those short shutdowns like that. Less then 15 minutes and I can get it going on wood pretty consistent no gas now. It’s a trick to learn that part

Below is a very short video of a rolling start after a 45 min shut down . I am using no blowers but a small amount of gasoline .

Nicely done Wayne! Do you still have a rheostat in there or just an on/off switch? Looked like you made an adjustment on the steering column but I couldn’t quite tell

That’s a perfect rolling start Wayne.
I’ve been thinking maybe your V10 has the world record in number of hours on woodgas. After all the WW2 woodgas era only lasted a few years.
Could be you’re beaten by some silent eastern woodgassers, but top 10 for sure.

Good morning Marcus.

I have just an off/on switch but I can use ether very well.

I have air mix control valves on each side of the steering column and may have been adjusting them .
