Well, actually ..... no, it's not ..... Mac OS X (with the Mach Kernal) is based on BSD Unix, specifically from the NeXT OS (NeXTSTEP), which came out of FreeBSD ..... 4.3 ... IIRC (Such a statement as above would probably cause Linus Torvalds to be blowing spit-bubbles .... since the...

That comports with my experience with using both systems (various Mac's and Mac OS's from the Mac Plus onward - and various PC-boxen and iterations of Windows - from Win95 onward) - I did 2D design (commercial artwork), video editing, 2D motion graphics and special f/x, and 3D work (modeling...

Moved over to the Petro about 20 miles west of Ft. Worth - unfortunately it's no longer a Flying J wifi hotspot :(

And this might be what A/T fluid, so filtered, would look like:

If one had a filter capable of very fine filtration (down to less than a micron) on one's transmission, this is what you might see if you were to change the filter element after oh, say, 50K miles: (New "element" compared with the old ...... :eek:)

I just pulled an oil sample the other day in fact ... dropped it off at Fedex in Sweetwater, TX last night before coming back to the J .... should hear back from Blackstone in 2 or 3 days. My present sump has 48,577 miles on it since the last oil change :eek: ... roughly 50% of the oil in the...

Oh yes ..... in fact I scrub it regularly with a toothbrush .... (..... not ....) Assuming you weren't just being facetious, and were actually asking in earnest, I have occasionally hosed off the engine at the quarter wash ... there has never been any significant accumulation of oil spillage...

The ATRA (Automatic Transmission Rebuilders Association) has stated that if fluid can be held to 175°F or less, and kept clean, an automatic transmission will last nearly indefinitely ..... FWIW, I'm seeing engine oil temps of 200°F+ currently (90°F+ ambient temps, unloaded, flat ground, light...

You are blessed OVM .... must be all that clean living .... ;) I drove from Sweetwater, TX over to Abilene (about 30 miles) today and my tranny fluid temps - with an additional auxiliary cooler - were running around 200°F ..... and that was on flat ground (with an ambient air temp of around...

Hey Jack - thanks !!! Yeah .... I dropped at 9:30 in Sweetwater, went down the road to the Walmart and slept until about 15:00 ..... when the temperature inside the van finally hit 100°F or so (van showed it hit 94°F here today) and woke me up, drenched in sweat ..... so I headed over to the...

Wally World in lovely Sweetwater, TX ..... startin' to warm up down here .... apparently there is no Starbucks in town .... hmmmph ....

It may well (apply) - unless the cooling system has been redesigned to incorporate a larger transmission cooler in the radiator. I would agree that a secondary would be a wise move in any event - for the cost (less than $100), it's cheap insurance.

OVM: for paying attention, you get ...... a cookie ... :D

.... sorta that double-edged sword kinda deal eh ? Zoli: It might just be a test ..... to see who's been paying attention .....

The J in beautiful Clive, IA (West Des Moines) ...... good news is, there isn't another van/Sprinter within 120 miles ...... bad news is, this isn't exactly a hotbed for weekend freight .....

Week before last: 962 loaded, 138 deadhead, on two loads, Last week: 2527 loaded, 229 deadhead, on two loads, This week so far: 1149 loaded, 166 deadhead, on two loads. Of course, I hear from "reliable sources" that: 1. my company is about go insolvent at any moment, 2. they have no freight or...

So does mine ..... Saltillo if I remember correctly .....

No, actually it really doesn't - because it was racially bigoted - it really doesn't belong anywhere on EO ..... No, he really doesn't - simply because he isn't in possession of all the facts ..... and I rather imagine he really has little desire to know more because if he did you might say...

Is this one that you've actually experienced yourself ..... or just more "news" that you "picked up" while at a truckstop ? :cool:

My first suggestion to you would be advice on the roof vent fan - I'd strongly recommend you check out the MaxxAir product: MaxxFan Key feature is the rain shield is integral to the unit - allowing you to have have it open and actually use it during inclement weather (in addition to having it...
