I must inquire:



Why has it been often said that ATF is not a lubricant? What other oil is in an auto transmission to lube the gears/bearings/bushings? What other oil is in a manual transmission with factory fill ATF to lube the gears/bearings/bushings?



Just thought I'd ask... ... .....
 
ATF is a lubricant but it is not a very good lubricant. The bearing engineers I used to work with did not like to work with applications in ATF for that reason.

It was tough on the bearings and reduced their life.
 
Bschwarzli: Yeah I learned a lot about what people want on dyno days. I hope Taylor will change their minds on letting people drive their own trucks. If not, oh well, we'll continue at Diesel Doctors or wherever the membership base wants. ;) Not easy being VP sometimes :-laf I'm sure Bschwarzli says the same as President.



Some days it is tough. I have to deal with my VP..... :-laf:D



Over 2,000 veiws on this thread. Wow, lotta time wasted :D



Yup. Time wasting at its best. :D



OK, how does that work with Robert and me? I'm older than he is and I'm the VP, I'll be burnt out before I ever make President of Ontario chapter. :-laf

I already don't have much hair left on top and I'm only 29.



Have you seen my head? I dont have much more. And you are maginally older than me... .



The way I see it, you will run the club with wisdom where as I am young and dumb. :D



Sewage runs downhill - sewage always go down hill, even in our house when the crapper backs up. Over the rim, onto the floor, out the door and then goes down hill anyways.



Might I suggest more fiber. That should solve the crapper issues. :D

Wow. Makes me feel old. I had Robert pictured as much older. Strange how internet works, huh? But I have hair... ... . everywhere. Lots of hair. Last year, I won the ugliest sweater contest at my buddies Christmas party, but I was shirtless..... :-laf

Another thing about internet... ... you sometimes learn more about a person than you care for... ...



Must be nice to have that many breaks:-laf Is there lots of coffee?:-laf My iphone is on me all the time except bed. It gets charged twice a day for the amount of use it gets and gets a shut eye as well when I'm sleeping. Even now that I have a laptop, the iphone is used a lot. Even at work. ;)



HHhuntitall: did the jiffy lube guy get a prize for pulling off stunts with your jeep?



Oh yes, we love our trucks, even a judge in court knows that. The girlfriend or wife if they kicked our trucks, the judge usually gives them a scolding and then tell them that vehicles are always a guy's true love first, ladies second. :-laf

No, no coffee. Ever seen Over the Hedge? The cartoon with the animals? In the movie, they give Hammie the Squirrel some Mach 3 energy drink, and the world stops moving while Hammie goes on the rampage... ..... That's how coffee works on me... ... I'll spontaneously combust from air friction.....

The guy from the Jiffy Lube got first prize!! He had the biggest goose-egg of anyone around... ... :mad:



I love actual wrestling and bar room brawls. Fun making my friends eat dirt. :-laf

Yeah, I used to love it, but got most of it out of my system working as a bouncer in the bars... ... nothing breaks up a fight like a 300lb orge getting airborne!! I don't like to fight with my friends... . only one of them could take it, and he became a cop..... pretty good one... no one else wanted to fight with me. But Dave and I would clear the bars, cops and all!! He was 6'7"; I was almost there, and we were raised pretty tough. When you've had 1300lb cows trying to kill you with horns, a human(with less IQ than a cow) is really not that dangerous.....

I must inquire:

Just thought I'd ask... ... .....

I've been told that too, and I don't get it. It's not the best lubricant out there, but it's a compromise of the best qualities for the job... . and Chrysler ATF has the best lubricating qualities, IMO, than any other. Keeping it clean is the key. That brings up the addage,"If the oil hasn't been changed in the last 100k, why change it now? It'll make the transmission go out!!" B. S. !! Keep it clean, change it regular, and it'll run a long time!!! Look a the New Process transfer cases... they'll run hundreds of thousands of miles, running on regular ATF, with huge ball bearings, no less.
 
Bschwarzli: Ok, I'll get the chainsaw, cut the V off the P and staple it to your P. Just in case you're looking closely, it may be a little crooked, with a few bent and crooked staples sticking out but should still work. :D



Now, everyone of TDR, prepare for a new era of Dictatorship! No dyno days, Cummins get together, no EVERYTHING without my permission! Everyone shall be taxed and the money only goes into one account, my pocket.



Once all is said and done, all your souls will be mine! Bwahahahahaha!!
 
HHhuntitall: I too was very surprised to find that Robert was younger than me. I figured he was about 33-36 based on all the knowledge, incredible speeches, etc that he has done. Usually takes many experiences over the years to be wise. :D



Apparently his brain's foot is sticking through the floor on the throttle. :-laf:-laf

Ok, now you're sounding like a dictator!! And you know what us Texas boys do to dictators... ... just ask Santa Anna, er ol' Pancho Villa. They didn't fair too well..... :D And besides, my money's on Bschwarzli; he's got the plasma phase photon torpedoes... . :D
 
Wow. Makes me feel old. I had Robert pictured as much older. Strange how internet works, huh?



Yes. Very true. I pictured you as a 90 year old albino. :D



But I have hair... ... . everywhere. Lots of hair. Last year, I won the ugliest sweater contest at my buddies Christmas party, but I was shirtless.....



YETI!!!!! YET I!!!!! :eek::-laf



:D



Another thing about internet... ... you sometimes learn more about a person than you care for... ...



Yeah. No kidding.



a human(with less IQ than a cow) is really not that dangerous.....



Oh, you have those down by you too? Thought that was just up here... .

Ahh, Ezma (Emperors New Groove). Cool it. Or I will turn you into a Llama. Oo.

Always!

Yeah. What he said.



I may also demote you to toilet bowl cleaner now that I know your REAL plans and that you like toilets!
 
Yes. Very true. I pictured you as a 90 year old albino. :D







YETI!!!!! YET I!!!!! :eek::-laf



I don't have no slanted eyes..... my name is... ... "Sasquatch. " Don't make me repeat it. North America rules, Asia drools. Besides, my cousin says there are no good tasting animals left in the Himalayan Range. They all taste like rice, whatever that means?



We also have those humans with less IQ than a cow... ... when it works to a positive aspect, we call it LINEbreeding. In the case of the average human, it's called INbreeding. We can't give IQ tests, so we need to stop making laws to protect the dumbest amongst us from getting their arm in a hay baler or grain auger. Enough with the dang protective shields that take 20 minutes to remove to hook up the implements!!! Let natural reduction take place. No more warning signs about high voltage or toxic fumes!!!
 
Ah! The killer of all Kronk's forest creatures speaks! You have a lawsuit being filed against you by Walt Disney and Warner Brothers for the Destruction of their trademarked animals with your primitive excuse of a trap.



Here's an example of Bschwarzli's traps in action: Epic Mouse Trap Fail - YouTube



While there is this looming lawsuit against you, you now have limited presidental powers which means there are no demotions or decision making without the permission of the TDR members. There will even be a trial in which you will be removed from your presidential position and I will assume the presidential duties since I'm the elected Vice-president. Hahahahaha!! As Hannibal of the A-team says, I love it when the plan comes together!



HHhuntitall: Keep it quiet there! With the current government, we don't need Prius, civic, and electric car owners getting the idea of getting the government to force us to put a toxic emissions sign on our trucks by the tailpipe? If that happens, there will be no more sooting civics, prius, or all those electric cars. The government will likely force us to turn the pump down to Smart fortwo power level if we want to keep our trucks.



I'm all for natural reduction to take place. dumb dip**** people have no place at all at the workplace. We already fired one such person several months ago for repeated unsafe operation of our mechanical punch press. He's even drinking all them high energy drinks all day, everyday which I'm sure puked his brain.



Dictator, Evil Shawn
 
Ya know, after reading all this dictator talk all I can think is it would be easy enough to start yet another war. :D

The soldiers could march to "blame Canada"!
 
Nyoest: So... You and America are planning a war against my dictatorship!? Robert did a bad job as president, I shoved his position down his throat, I carefully laid my plans to get this postition, now you and America are already sounding the drums of war?:-laf:-laf Sorry for my unintended laughter. But like HHhuntitall says: sorry, but I don't see'um no soldiers anywhere. They're all preoccupied over seas. So I'm free at the moment to run TDR as I see fit. Now hand over the tax money owed to my "Account". :-laf:-laf:-laf



TDR Dictator, Evil Shawn
 
Hey I can't help I'm American and like to start wars!!

You called me on it though, we have no reserves left. I'll gladly make my homage to you oh grand exalted one.

Just pm me your full name, address and bank account number and I'll see that full retribution is made.

And as further proof of my undying loyalty to your rule I'll be honered if you would forward your friends and family's pertinent information, I'll see to it that they are taken care of as well.

I await your correspondence, oh great leader.
 
Nyoest: That's better. In fact, since you like wars, I'll make you General of my Army and you shall have full military authority under my rule.



What do you say?
 
Oh, Rommel only dreamed of being the general of an army of six in a row. Where do I sign?



First order of business should be to round up all people of inferior intellilect, should be easy just look for ownership of vehicles that arent cummins powered. Then the extisive retraining program may begin.



Awaiting your orders grand poobah,

(and also incidentally your banking info)



General of the #2 brigade,



Me
 
General Nyoest of the #2 Brigade:



Your signature right on this post is sufficient.



Orders:



Do it, Round up the troops. I want them all to bow to The Exalted one, The ruler of Cummins, The Grand Poobah. Let the re-training begin.



Errr... As General, you pay no tax, so no need to know my... errr banking info.



Now carry on with your duties.



TDR Dictator Evil Shawn
 
... and silently, although not without odor, a giant shadow begins to loom closely behind the now laughing, newly throned Dictator. His last thoughts are: "What's that smell? And a HOW did a hair get in my martini?" There were no signs of a struggle, only a few long hairs and some curiously large footprints. Nothing could be found missing except, curiously, his Dodge truck, all the engine oil, filters, for his truck. Reportedly, a local farmer was suspicious of something afoul, when he found his freezer had been raided and not a single frozen pizza or pint of ice cream could be found. A gas station some kilometers away claimed to have footage of Bigfoot pumping diesel, but it later proved to be a hoax. The Texas license plates were unidentifiable in the grainy footage caught on video, as blood appears to be smeared over it. In a generous last gesture, the new dictator had written a number of checks, the total of his life savings, to his friends and neighbors, totalling a grand $145. His truck is still missing, although parts of it have appeared as far South as Oklahoma. Investigators are baffeled, and those that knew the missing dictator don't seem concerned. The only clue found was a single note on the refrigerator: Long Live TDR!! :-laf:p

Lmao!



Three local eye witnesses and all they could report was" I've never seen a bumper so big! I don't think he'll make it far though. His truck was smoking pretty bad... . "





Never fear grand poohbah the uber secret dick tator protection devision would never let such an atrocity such as this occur. As long as we were properly funded, of course.



I fear our task of reprogramming may be a great one dick tator. It seems there are MANY not loyal to the straight six way of life. Several examples have been found. Information has been dispatched by courier, current methods of communication may have already been compromised. Youll know when he arrives, He'll be the one asking for COD :D

That wasn't the courier with the red cap that was kinda sideways, was it? I tried to fix his head so the cap was straight, but he just kept falling down... ... . he finally quit screaming, though. But I don't think he'll be making it much further until after his nap. The snow was kinda getting deep on him. Is that a local secret to a good night's sleep? :eek:
 
I'm sure that's a record for the shortest reign of power by a "dick tator". So TDR is safe again, Bschwarzli gets his post back but is nowhere to be found. What of the former VP?

No more wars for General Nyoest, what will he do now? What of those big foot prints that have been reported?
