Rooney almost had that header... almost!

Saw them bringing in nets on Gloucestor Pool last week.

Depends on what you're going to get for him.

He's got a GPS/Satellite screen on that HB which will tell him how many he's connected to, etc.. I don't think this is a GPS issue, almost every map I've had needed some sort of correction so it's dead on. Also gotta remember some of these maps are extremely old, a lot of them are from the same 50 year old hydrocharts.

You probably have to play with the map offset on the unit. I had to do something similar to mine. GPS isn't as accurate as people would like to believe Find a well known spot on the map (An island or hump, etc) then make the adjustment.

Hey Raf, You're CCV shouldn't be pumping out that much oil vapour, if it is there's another problem on hand. As for drips, yeah you might have to deal with 1 or 2, personally I've never see any on my driveway (I'm guessing they are all out on the road somewhere). I don't get any sort of smell in my cabin either (Gotta remember there isn't much coming out of that tube at all... Most of it is stuck to the inside of the tube anyhow). As for freezing, unless you're using an extremely small tube, that's not something you should worry about. There's no where for the water to build up and freeze, now if you ran a catch can or similar, that's something I'd be worried about once winter comes.

Good job man, that's the proper way to treat those big girls

The Hemi does nothing better, except for drinking fuel at 5X the rate.

The Fishing Adventurer and 'Hooked' with Mark Krupa have been the best shows in quite a while. you can still catch episodes on both on OLN I think.. I enjoy the Linders as well.

What's your budget? Lots and lots of rods out there. Also, you need to make sure you pair that Clough with something really nice :)

When will Ford/GMC get off their behinds and offer a smaller displacement diesel int eh F-150/Sierra 1500? Just lop 2 cyls off the 6.6 Duramax, combine it with the Allison and bingo! 30mpg truck.

Yup. Great advice Gerritt.

It's the torque that matters, at 152HP, it's probably making what, 280-300ftlbs? All with peak torque at probably 1800rpm or less? Youcan't get into these trucks and drive them like gassers, lol. As for the turbos, they all utilize VNT/VGT/Some sort of variable vane technology.. The best of both worlds... Small turbo down low where you need to it spool up quickly, bigger turbo up to top to keep things going.. Even Porsche used a VGT (First one in a gasser since the old Turbo Dodges from the 80's).... One thing I have found with most factory diesels is that they are anemic from the factory, with a chip tune or similar that Sprinter would feel like an entirely different vehicle. You should see what a few mods does on a lowly VW TDI

You really need to drive these engines, lugging them around will lead to all sorts of problems (especially the ones you mentioned)... RAF, I vent my TDI to the atmosphere to rule out CCV vapours making their way back into the intake via the TIP, I also deleted the EGR.. Most guys that have issues with gunked up VNT/VGT mechanisms drive their cars like 90 year old ladies. Put the boots to it a few times a day and I doubt you'll have any issues.

Position is fine, you might have to tilt it either way when you eventually get on the water.

Sounds like you are on the right track. I gotta admit, I'm extremely jealous. Keep us up to date on the mileage once the odo creeps up there!

You could fish Nipigon right at 17 and catch anything from brookies to Chinooks. Definitely your best bet if you ask me.

Nice, I just picked up some LEDs for the boat as well. Gotta stop being lazy and actually install them.

Terry, please be safe

That doesn't sound very appealing, lol.

Sister has a Flex, it's a pretty capable truck/milk truck/whatever you want to call it. Loads of room, fantastic rear seats good mileage.

I guess some people have extremely bad luck.

You won't be seeing the best mileage until it's broken in, more like 10-15k This is a diesel after all... The break in period is a lot longer then your typical gasser engine. Right now I'd worry more about proper break-in then mileage. No cruise or constant rpm driving if you can help it and drive it like you stole it.

Dirty old man, lol!

I call Bull, everything up there is like 4x as expensive as down here :)
