Buddy of mine had a big fishing charter boat with 2 Detroit 24 cyl  turbocharged engines that ran flawess. When he sold it the hours to mileage was over a million miles. I did some minor work on it like filters and salt damaged wiring.

Transmissions / Re: converter won't lu

Appy a 12v jumper to the "A" terminal on the trans. It should lockup when you go into 2nd gear. If it does your trouble is most likely in the command (ECM) or wiring issues. If it don't lock up it could be wiring in the trans, bad seloniod and last a defective converter.

Fun time by all. The highlight of the evening was FerretJoe drinking a beer at the bar. The last time he wasn't old enough and carried a sippycup with grapejuice.

Is the "lumberjack song" still allowed?

I agree. I spent a few weeks traveling around Jasper NP, Banff NP and Mt Robson. The area is breathtaking.

Very few feel like "whistling while they work" so you are truly blessed

Boy is that ever true.

Best would be a new lid, next would be a plate and paint match. Last would be fill it in and get a auto trunk release.

Or you can just do this

My mother gave my first grade teacher a permission letter to hit me if I got out of line.
The teacher smacked me out of my chair when a spitball stuck to her head. The good old days :rolleyes:

I did a major alternaror writeup for Steve site but it's still in the proofread and shorten stage.  As Steve said maybe it's time to twaek it and get it posted.
On another note if you did have a system that needed all that amperage his CS130 base cases are too small and will self-destruct over a short time. That is why you see high amperage units with big heat sink vented cases for double the price. Pulling a max of around 85amps out of a typical Buick won't tax his small case unit.

Damn - I have one of his 200A upgrade kits in my TR. Should I worry?

Also - I am VERY honored to have such tech talent posting here!

Thank you

No real problem with the quality that I know of. You just can add a 5000 watt amp and weld fences now :rolleyes:

To add to what I posted above. I won't be part of a Americian or Canadian owned corporate board. Why should I spill out my 45 yrs of automotive knowledge for free so they can make money. I do it for free and will do it here or by email or on the phone.

Could someone enlighten me as to what he might be referencing when he says that the negativity may have driven him off?

I won't go into details but he didn't like it when we subjected him to the same critizism we would hang onto any other product or vendor. Snakeoil is snakeoil.
Mike gave it hard to others and got pissed when he was called out by some of the senior guru's.

Is this about the stock alternator amperage versus his alternators amperage?

More or less. Also the real need for 200+ amps.  The stock alt or the 140amp alt will handle 99% of all needs for our cars.  This statement cut into his claims. Also he was confused by engine speed (crank pulley) and alt shaft speed.
