this guy is lost. someone give him a map. lol this aint the treehugger convention :arf:

2 converters cause it has 2 banks of cylinders.

we have a 4.8 4x4 it gets 3 mpg better than the 6.0 4x4. but the torque is noticable. when on cruise control the 4.8 downshifts on hills and the other just keeps on plowing

that honda might have less than half the emmision but it also has less than half the torque

picture is funny and related

yea, but plenty of cars with a similar sized engine made in aus with 2 banks of cylinders dont have 2 cats.
tell me, when you arnt towing or using the truck for what purpose it was made, whats the point of all the torque? who cares? certainly not someone with 3.

Yea, but does it have a cat on it? And that BETTER NOT be a v8! Your killing the ozone layer!

honestly, try to be less of moron. i wouldnt expect children of the most ignorant country in the world to care.
how was the war on terror? kept your petrol prices low at the end of the day

3 what?

well when its not being used for towing its being used for hauling my *** around lol.

cmon the bigger the engine the bigger the cat. same reason you dont put a small carb on a big engine. airflow and efficiency duh :arf:

Ok, this is the point where it's time to "put up or shutup". The s10 weighs 2635lbs with the stock 2.8 v6, so just say 2700 with the v8 (it does have an aluminum intake). Do you consider that heavy??? It was a daily driver and hauled tools/materials every day. This engine has 283 CI, that's a 4.6 which is small compared to some gas-guzzling v8's. And it doesn't NEED 2 cats, I just thought it would be good if I put 2 on. This engine was in a different truck with ONE cat and passed the emmissions test as a 4 cylinder. So you tell me, how much does it really pollute if it could pass the 4 cyl test (actually surprised me a little). Oh, and I found a website 1/4 mile calculator (http://www.race-cars.net/calculators/et_calculator.html). Go down to the bottom and punch in 2700lbs and 375hp (because of parasitic loseses in the drivetrain). You get an et of 11.24. Ya know, maybe it's not a good idea to stick a nose into someone's stuff when you don't know the facts.

Gee, and I'd hate to be acting like a moron! Would that include insulting people for no reason, spitting on their country, and dissing their ride without the facts?

LOL! Nice post ed!

while i strongly support the environment and don't agree with US policy, the problem here wouldn't be someone with a truck but more of how no one pays attention to how much utility engines pollute (1 lawnmower = 40 cars each year, but thats not counting CO2 just the nastier gases) and bikes aren't much better. I'll try to put a cat on my bike motor so that at least I'm less of a problem here.
By the way, what's the problem with many cats, sure the second will take longer to heat up and start working but it can't hurt emissions thats for sure.

Three of my OD green rides - 2 chicom 250's

 

[Aryukei]

Military?

 

[Walter Keller]

military.....

Not in the military just like OD green stuff. M151A2, 712 Pinzgauer and M35A2C and the 2 Chinese 250 Viva dirt bikes

 

[Kenny_McCormic]

Military?

Military equipment has a really bad tendency to be built to ALWAYS WORK and NEVER be difficult to work on(in the rare even of a failure).

 

[oscaryu1]

Love the dirt bikes. Gave me another reason to love jet-black.

This 69' is going to be 4X4 when it gets back on the road, G-10 series 65 thru 75 truck drivetrain parts bolt on, even some Nova front ends!

 

[ed1380]

been rolled, towed 2 trailers, gone over towing capacity, got frame bent from too much tongue weight. thats a real truck for you

Someone told me once, completely random, that I look like the kind of guy that would drive a "molester van". I was like WHAT???

My first of many cars. Bought it from local used car lot back in '71 for $400.
I wonder if any body recognizes it before doing an on-line search. Ask dad...he may know...or he may not.
This is not pic of my actual car. Mine was black where this one is blue. Car had many 'Firsts' that are still in use.

Looks like an Edsel, not sure on model. Edsel was made by Ford if I remember correctly. Do I get a cookie?
