In article , Stealth Pilot says...
I'm a lurker, and it's pretty evident by the postings who's nuts. Thank you kindly. Chuck S that's not what he said. (I'm joking! I'm joking!!! ) I realize the Lurkers statement could have been taken 2 ways but I think he meant that jaun was nuts .........I think :-) chuck put the first fully stress evaluated ultralight on the american market. no one can take that one from you mate. That's true and I can "prove" that as well LOL!!! I guess that's why the design has stood the test of time. I remember the first Hawk that we sold to someone in Australia and he said he could fly it out in the boonies as long as he didn't cross a paved road.Was that true or was he pulling my leg? Stealth (never needed proving) Pilot Australia I thank you for that. See ya Chuck S RAH-15/1 ret |

Hey gang! For filters to work, the JJJ must have a space between it and the other words in the title. Three "J"s are sufficient! :^o Jim (microsoftly challenged) in NC I didn't know that, so it was my fault when I posted the first post.I have since put a space between the JJJ's on the title.

See ya Chuck (I was there) S +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I'm known as a FORD guy, but have had hard luck since '83, especially with a certain V-6 full size truck purchased new in 1997. The ride was great, but the truck had poor power, poor gas mileage, chasis problems and the interior was falling apart in less than a year. LEMON. At the other end of the scale, my Chevy friends can't say enough good about the latest trucks from the GM stable. Especially, when it comes to power and gas mileage. Of course, they drive a lot better today than my old GMC V-6 from yesteryear.... and damn well better. That POS had suspension, like well.., er, a 50's Buick. g I still have that Buick from Hell via Steakbreath Stricker. It's been dead a year, and now in the shop for the last month in hopes of resurrection. It all started with a SMALL cup of Muzzleloader in the gas tank since I didn't have a can of HEAT handy. Where is nurse Tommy Copper when you really need him? See ya. Unka' BOb -- |

I have owned TWO F##kedOrRapedDaily's in my lifetime and the ONLY way I would ever own another one would be if I was first divorced (a threat from my wife if I even thought about another one) and brain dead. The last one spent 6 months in the shop, went through 4 transmissions, 2 front ends, two airconditioning systems, and some major engine problems...all in a span of 4 1/2 years and only 20K miles. And it was NEW when I bought it. When I finally tried to trade it in, they gave me less than salvage value for it. ( AND I was glad to get that!)

That POS had suspension, like well.., er, a 50's Buick. g I think I see a pattern here. Maybe if you bought a truck with a real engine instead of one of those V-6 things, you would have better luck. I had an S-10 for a while with the GM V-6 and it was great, but then again, the engine was appropriately sized for the smaller truck. True story: My brother and I each drive late model Jeep Wranglers. Mine is the straight 6 version which is known to make good power for a rig of this size. His is the 4 cylinder version, which you would expect to be more efficient, but he has never gotten any better mileage than I do. The problem is that the Wrangler is heavy for its size, shaped like a brick, and needs lots of power to reach and sustain highway speeds. You have to run the 4 cylinder rig so hard just to keep up with traffic that the two engines get around the same mileage in normal use. For city driving, he still has a small edge but only a couple mpg. In reality though, they could both use a V-8. 8^) I think something similar may be at play with your V-6 trying to move a full size truck. But then what do I know about new trucks? I'm still driving the 3/4 ton Chevy pickup (350 V-8 powered) which my dad bought new in 1973. It gets 10 mpg under ALL operating conditions. Never had a problem with power though. 8^) ---------------------------------------------------- Del Rawlins- Remove _kills_spammers_ to reply via email.
