|The best solution is a boat with all furniture bonded to the hull and no liner whatsoever. Morris for example does this - but it's pretty expensive. Every bulkhead and seat face or cabinet face that touched the hull is glassed in. This gives the strongest hull as liners are usually not glassed in so much as placed on polyester adhesive (or epoxy) and are not adhered everywhere they touch the hull. This gives total access and great strength but at great cost.
Can manufacturers get rid of liners entirely?
The Beneteau 10R is said to be infused in a two-sided mold so both the interior and exterior of the hull are fair. That reduces the need for cosmetic liners. That does mean that the backing plates and such behind the deck hardware are exposed. I'm not sure what they do about wiring, ducting and the like. I haven't actually been inside a 10R.
The tooling for a two sided mold must be quite expensive and thus needs to be amortized over a large production run. Smaller builders might have trouble emulating this. And I'm afraid that buyers of more cruisy boats will always opt for a the cosmetics of a fully lined boat.
What do y'all think of this? Are there disadvantages I'm overlooking?
jrd22, i think i would kind of agree with you if there werent so many aftemarket add-ons that depreciate quickly and really dont add much in terms of resale value. would also take away some of the fun, I suppose.
somewhere i guess there has to be some feedback or publicity or actual critical reviews that would influence people buying new boats mentioning accessibility to all parts of the inside of the hull as a real issue, make or break, for buying a new boat.
i've never bought a new boat, but i've bought two used sailboats and my family has bought a sailboat and a couple of small power boats and they've all had this issue to a greater or lesser degree.
of course, i could be over-reacting as I usually do - i'm late for my anger management class.
|Interesting thread. In thinking about it I've come to the conclusion that the best way to maximize sailing time vs. maintenance time would be to do what a lot of people do with their cars. Buy a new one every few years. If you bought a new sailboat and used it for 4-5 years you would have minimal maintenance requirements and hopefully no major problems to deal with. Sell it or trade it in on another new one. Not the cheapest way to go if you are strictly looking at dollars, but if you value your time at boatyard rates, and do not enjoy doing maintenance it might not be that much different. You could pick models that are low maintenance by design with the features that you feel are important. Based on the OP's criteria, this might make sense.

It seems plausible however that a boat could be designed maybe for a little more that would make it easy to unbolt the interior.
How much would it cost to mold in a couple extra stringers, one or two thousand. The boat could ship with different finish levels. If the OP is correct and you had a Hunter with everything sealed up and a New Design where everything was accessible would it sell for a little more?
I'm pretty sure it could be designed.
My yard contact tells me they spend quite a bit of time fighting with access. At first they try to finagle access some how, then they give up and have to cut an access hole. Then carpentry has to fabricate a cover and finish it. Bad access to something as simple as a cabin mounted winch can easily cost a couple hundred extra.

I hear that a Catalina galley can be removed with a few screws.

Actually the OP may be on to something. Most of our comments have been about reducing systems to reduce maintenance. While this will work in theory, many of us don't want to give up the convenience these systems offer.
Besides the sheer volume of things that need checking on, 10 water systems for example, another big gripe is how hard it is to get access to many things that need maintenance.
It was a cost saving inspiration to invent the hull liner. It makes building a boat much cheaper. It also makes maintaining it much harder.
What if some enterprising designer took the hull liner concept and took it one step further. Instead of a single liner what if the interior was composed of 10 modules each one of them that could be removed with a electric wrench in 5 minutes. In less than an hour someone could completely gut the interior of their whole boat. Everything would be accessible.
So while we didn't' give up any toys we made it easy to get to and inspect them all.
I have never had an idea regarding boats the hasn't already been done. So which manufacturers did this?

|SPI Performance (2000-2004) The place to chat about any 2.0L Split Port Injection engine performance, tuning and exhaust related upgrades.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Sniper Focus
I don't remember hearing dropped valve seats on the first gen either... I had a 95 Escort 1.9 for a short while, and about 10yrs back on FEOA the the valve seat fix was to put on a later head from a later head from a 97-02 or a Focus engine.... We all know that's not the case.
At a junkyard near me the cars are sorted by make with not much regard to model. The ONLY car sorted by model is the Escort because there are SO many, especially with no body damage. I'll bet the reason is that it helps them with rotating "inventory" since they get a ridiculous amount of them. Only lately has the dedicated Escort section has been dwindling.
The early Escort/EXP engines were known for a bad water pump stripping the timing belt to then smack the valves into pistons, thousands of them failed over that and the yards were full of them at the time. We rejected working on them at the shop back then as the customers would commonly bolt to abandon the cars at the shop when they found out how much it would cost to repair.
If you changed belt and water pump they lasted forever but people do what they will do. Or wait until broken before thinking about fixing it. In that case it bit hard.
|The Escort GT you had was a multi-point fuel injected 1.9 OHV motor. It was considered the high output motor at the time for the Escort. I had a 89.5 that had the same motor. All I know is that motor lasted well over 300,000 miles. I kept track of it after I sold it since it exchanged hands between my friends lol.
You tend to hear about it with the 2nd-3rd gen SOHC escorts (1991-2002). The 1st gen escorts used the CVH engine as well, which is known around here as the SPI. I just assume that most 1st gen escorts are off the road in some capacity which is why you don't see valve seat posts about them.
Check out Ford Escort Owners Association (FEOA) <-- lots of good info
|I'm sorry. I just dont remember seeing or hearing about this problem back in the 80's when this engine was widely used in the early escorts. I am not talking about the last of the escorts. I am talking about the oldschool escorts. Mine was a 87 escort GT. I could be wrong but I dont remember ever hearing about the old ones dropping valve seats.
|Valve seat issue certainly exists with the escorts as well
|The bad thing here is that this engine (SPI) was around years before this problem ever started. It has been in escorts for the longest time. They didnt have this valve seat problem and it was a reliable little motor. Somewhere in the head design for this particular incarnation of the engine in the focus is where this problem is. But Fords will always be in my driveway because you cant find a manufacturer that doesnt have some type of failures. its no big deal. The nature of the beast. You drive a car your going to find someone that can tell you what kind of problem them had with one just like it. The valve seat thing yes is a big deal and ford should have dealt with it. But honestly if it wasnt for this valve seat issue I would not have gotten mind for cheap and we will enjoy it for as long as the teenager can keep it in one piece so no complaints here.
|I am never buying a Ford again! *buys a Mazda* Oh the times I have heard this story...
Quite a saga, and at least a couple places that didn't know enough about the details.
BTW - you're still in a Ford.
That generation Mazda 3 is a gussied up Ford Focus, sharing many parts including engine/drivetrain. Duratec is the Ford name for the engine, used in some from '03 & in all from '05 to '11. (look close & see "ford" on many parts)
It IS a good unit, with regular maint. it should last well for you.
Ford had a large interest in Mazda at the time. You'll also find Ford Rangers sold as Mazdas here, along with the Mazda "Tribute" (Ford Escape).
SPI failure / End of a long run of owning Fords
We bought our 2000 Ford Focus used from Olathe Ford in December 2007.
It had the SPI angine.
The summer of 2008, during a road trip vacation from Olathe, KS to Oregon and Puget Sound in Washington, the fuel pump failed on it.
At Sweetwater Ford in Evanston, Wyoming on our way back home, they determined it was a failed fuel pump. But it was under factory recall, so we didn't have to pay for it.
What's surprising is that Olathe Ford never told us about that recall.
The Focus ran fine until October of 2010, when the engine dropped a valve seat in #4 cylinder. [Ford had built these SPI egines on teh cheap, and I discovered later, on this forum and others, that Ford did not back up those engines with adequate warranties.
They knew they were building and selling junk engines. Henry Ford would never have approved of that!]
Our church's Car Repair Ministry rebuilt the engine, with aftermarket solid steel valve seats installed, instead of the powdered-metal factory original valve seats.
The Focus ran fine until late 2012, when the timing belt failed, prematurely.
Anderson Automotive in Olathe said the head had lost it's compression, and we needed a new head. We reluctantly had them install a new head, but it kept leaking oil all over the place.
They finally found a defective freeze plug in the head and replaced it, but then the engine developed a main oil seal leak, leaking oil directly onto the flywheel, after which the clutch, which had been newly installed six months previously, to start slipping.
We had enough!
In April 2013, we traded in the Focus at Olathe Ford Pre-Owned cars on a 2007 Mazda "Mazda 3", and have had ZERO issues with the Mazda.
I drove Fords my whole life since the 1960s, a trend which finally ended with this Focus.
This Mazda 3 has made a Mazda Believer out of me!

Arsène Wenger could enter the loan market for a full-back if Kieran Gibbs is not fit to return soon.
The England international has not played since the 2-1 win over Sunderland on October 16 but Wenger was hopeful of recalling him for Wednesday's trip to Aston Villa or the Boxing Day clash with Wolves.
Those plans are on ice after Gibbs suffered a setback in his recovery from a stomach injury, leaving the Arsenal manager still without four frontline full-backs. Wenger admits his hand might be forced when the January transfer window opens.
"It depends now on Gibbs," Wenger told Arsenal Player. "He sees a specialist again today [Tuesday] and if something happens there that he has had a real setback then possibly, yes.
"It is not a shop, you just take a good opportunity that is on the market when you can. Overall that's what we are doing at the moment. We are starting to look at players if Gibbs is not back.
"On the other hand we have good news on Bacary Sagna because he has started to run again yesterday and today."

If we can't safely get our kids and families to school, we can't teach them.
At the Wednesday April 26th, 2011 Board Meeting my board colleagues voted unanimously to support the advocacy initiatives of the Edmonton Federation of Community Leagues and the Edmonton Catholic School Board to call for clear and safe speed limits in Edmonton Neighbourhoods.
I was not present at this meeting as I was at the Alberta Library Conference (I am also a trustee with the Edmonton Public Library and this conference is a major professional development opportunity and a chance to do some of my own homework on school library initiatives.) As an advocate for safe, healthy, and active transportation, I was thrilled to see my colleagues add their voices to the chorus of citizens pushing for safer neighbourhoods.
To learn more about the traffic safety initiatives from the EFCL, visit: http://www.efcl.org/NEWS/tabid/145/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/121/EFCL-Endorses-Traffic-Safety-Initiatives.aspx
Safe speed limits do not only improve safety for pedestrians, cyclists, and children at play, but they also make our roads safer for other drivers, especially in uncertain conditions. Many of our neighbourhood roads were not built for the same speeds as our collectors!
With the gorgeous spring weather and the melt (finally!) of the snow, there has been a big bump in auto accidents. A few weeks ago my fiancee was struck by a truck in a pedestrian crosswalk on 101st and Whyte Ave. Her story is here and in her words she luckily sustained no life-threatening injuries. Most disturbing was the ER Nurse who told me that she was the 7th pedestrian who had been hit that day and it was only 3:00 in the afternoon!
Traffic calming measures and safe speed limits have been a major push from the community leagues in our ward. While the LRT has succeed in getting hundreds of vehicles off of the road, traffic has inadvertently run-off via other channels not intended to receive such a high volume of traffic. There are a few cases where there has been more pressure such as 106th Street between 51st and 76th and 76th Ave in Belgravia.
If you would like to learn more about how you can integrate safe and healthy transportation for the students of your school, check out SHAPE: http://www.shapeab.com/Links.asp They have an excellent collection of resources that I have condensed and shared here:

Board Will Seek Public Input Regarding Proposed New School Year Calendar for 2012-13
At last night's Board meeting, the Board of Trustees voted to get public input regarding a proposed change in the school year calendar year that could see students starting school the Monday before Labour Day with an additional break in November.
Many members of the Board expressed they had been hearing from constituents that were both in favour and against the idea including some who proposed new ideas such as extending the spring break. "We're open to new ideas and this decision allows us to explore our options that would best serve students and their families," said Dave Colburn, Chair of the Board of Trustees. It is expected that a recommendation summarizing public input will go to the Board by fall of 2011 when a decision will be made about the 2012-13 school year calendar.
The Board also approved an important motion to join the advocacy efforts of the Edmonton Federation of Community Leagues and Edmonton Catholic School Board to advocate for lower speed limits in residential areas. "Lowering speed limits will create a safer environment for not just our children but the community." said Colburn.
The Board also reviewed preliminary budget for 2011-12 which shows a proposed balanced budget despite a $14 million dollar reduction in revenues. The preliminary budget focuses on minimizing impacts on students by having the bulk of the reductions achieved through efficiencies and budget reductions in central services. The preliminary budget will now go to schools and central services who will plan for the year ahead and Administration will bring forward the roll-up of proposed expenditure/staffing plans to the Board in May 2011. Further information about these agenda items are posted on the Board of Trustees section of Edmonton Public Schools' website (www.epsb.ca).

Baltimore Sun, "Section of the Game"! announcement
So who was in 509 yesterday, and who was in 502?
I ask because this cheerleader shows up in 509.. tells everyone to stand up and grab these foam Ravens heads from under our seats and get ready to wave them when the "Section of the Game" is announced and shown on the big boards. So a couple of commercial breaks go by.. and this blonde cheerleader is like, "just wait.. it's coming.. soon!".. Then she finally says, "okay, now get up and wave the Ravens foam heads.. NOW!"
Just as she says that, Brucie comes on the loud speaker and says, "Congratulations Section 502!". We look over and Section 502 is standing up cheering for themselves. Meanwhile all of 509 is standing there with their Ravens foam heads looking like a bunch of idiots. The cheerleader is like, "Ehhhh.... OOOPS! How did that happen!?". Then she runs for the exit.
Funny stuff.
Re: Baltimore Sun, "Section of the Game"! announcement
That's Bruce for you :grbac:
Re: Baltimore Sun, "Section of the Game"! announcement
That's hilarious. Sorry I missed it. BTW what time during the game was that RB?
Just for the heck of it ;) I'd like to throw in an honorable mention for "Best Sections" to the terrific Fans in Sections 527 thru 533 on the Ravens side UD, and Sections 534-548 in the West Endzone. The Ravens kept us pretty busy leading R-A-V-E-N-S cheers a total of 9 times in 5 different locations. After the TD return, Bruce announced the Ravens new scorring record of 55 points in a game. Nearly the entire EZ and the upper deck almost to the 50 yard line joined in on the ensuing cheer. Whole lot of happy ass fans all the way around!
Hats off to ya Ravens Fans - whether you got a Ravens Foamy Head or not lol!If you break the rules you can't make the rules.

Speaking of the game, I don't usually pay attention to 'your Marching Ravens' but I thought the halftime salute to the military was very well done..
There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the universe is for and why it is here it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarrely inexplicable
There is another theory which states that this - has - already - happened

Re: Baltimore Sun, "Section of the Game"! announcement
Well we finally won something in 509. It was like holy shit we won. Then to have it announced that 502 won was crazy. Everyone was waving the foam heads waiting for the call and then 502..?? Looked over and they were waving with nothing. Did have a thought that we got the heads by mistake and were going to get Papa Johns. But no Papa Johns. So 509 finally wins but doesn't get recognized. Thats the way we are...

Great taste, high protein, easy to dissolve, does not give me stomach problems
4683434017212234581发表于 6月 10, 2015 | 已验证购买
I've tried quite a few protein shakes before finally settling with Bluebonnet (I'm now on my third tub, have been drinking this for nearly a year now). I have a sensitive stomach so it was crucial to find a shake that does not give me stomach problems. Some other brands did, which I had to give away, Bluebonnet does not. I also wanted one that dissolved easily, Bluebonnet does. Since I was going to drink it regularly, it could not taste bad - some other brands I tried either tasted like chalk or like sugar mixed with chalk. The natural French vanilla flavor is a tad on the sweet side but tastes great otherwise. I can happily down a bottle of this without gagging. Lastly, I found that it was great value for money for the amount of protein you get per scoop, at 26g of protein per 33g a scoop. Plus, it comes from a great source. So, yes I highly recommend this product.
Best Whey Product
Reviewer2423578发表于 7月 21, 2009 | 已验证购买
Bluebonnet whey is by far the best whey product that I have used. The taste of the French Vanilla is very nice, and it allows me to add any kind of fruit for a wonderful and more important, high protein drink.
Great product, good price

I finally found a cheaper alternative to the totally overpriced Biotrust low carb whey powder! Bluebonnet vanilla has a great taste, dissolves well, has high quality ingredients and even a good profile of amino acids, an awesome product well worth the price. Glad I found it.

At last, a protein shake that I truly love!! I mix a scoop of this with maca powder, hemp protein, (for the fiber), powdered greens, cocoa powder, and 1 lemon(I peel it)! The taste is wonderful and I enjoy my shake! The lemon adds a twist, and lemon is the best liver cleanser. The price is up there, but well worth every penny!!
Good RGBH Free Whey Isolate

This is the best price for an RGBH free whey isolate and stevia without extra additives. The flavor is good, too. I will be buying this from iherb as long as it is available. A smoothie with a cup of fruit, psyllium, and a cup of soy milk is 250 calories. Add a salad and this is a good supper.
The best ever!

My teenage daughter started to use it as a meal replacement during her year long candida outbreak and it helped her to have normal nutritional intake without craving sweet taste.

I went and snagged a heat gun last night, heated the part that is warped up, shaped it to make it line up right and then ran cold water over it until it was cool again. 2 hours later it was back to it's warped shape. This is the first time I've ever worked with fiberglass. Am I doing something wrong? Any help would be appreciated.

I have been monitoring the remaining winter stores of my colonies using the rear tip method. I was thinking of using a fish scale and a hook to get a more compareable idea of what's inside. Anyone think it's worthwhile?
You should only do that when the night time lows are above 50 degrees Fahrenheit.
Finski, Finland sounds like my kind of place. Our over night lows can be about 32 degC at 98% relative humidity.
Can I ask a question off topic? How long will the oxalic acid solution remain fresh if refrigerated?

'"We're not playing Hasek (tonight), we're playing him Saturday (at the New York Islanders)," Bowman said. "We have to get Manny (Legace) in one of these games, he can't just sit there all the time." In the same breath, Bowman added, "I want to think about it. … All I can tell you is that Manny's going to play one of the next two games. I can't give you the starting goalie (tonight)."'

It's not distracting, Damon, an honest cover. I love the colour blue.

R: Thank you, I like cleanliness and intelligence.
E: My thanks. But is that really blue? I was thinking light sea green or something...or light cyan?

I am really such a big fan of the new cover. I love the simple black lines and though I know it's a design feature that runs through the whole series, I can't help but be reminded of an airmail letter -- lovely distraction indeed.

Thank you, Estelle.
It's very crisp, quiet - a great contrast with the boldness and blur of the Australian cover.
Yes, I'm known to stop writing in mid-sentence when the mail is delicately shoved in the letterbox...

Honestly Mr Young, the new UK cover has nothing on its Australian parent. The UK design has an 'ebook-esque' feel to it whereas with the later, well, I can almost smell the ink and paper waft off my screen.

Er, thanks. We'll have to agree to disagree, mate.

Last month I launched an online self-assessment and survey tool to help you — business process change agents and architects — determine the sustainability of your business process management (BPM) change effort. The source of inspiration for the assessment criteria I used is the conclusion of the Harvard Business School's Evergreen Project.
Evergreen analyzed the impact of 200 different management "best practices" on the performance of 160 business organizations over a time period of 10 years. The researchers studied broad areas such as strategy, innovation, and business processes, as well as specific practices, and concluded that organizations that truly produce superior results excel at four fundamental practices:

Bottle with Flip Top Cap and Pump
8-oz capacity HDPE (recycle code 2) plastic bottle with a polypropylene (recycle code 5) pump for easy dispensing of the contents. Also included is the original flip top cap dispensing of the perfect amount over any client.
Kit Includes:
These bottles are sturdy and very easy to use. Because I want to apply warm massage lotion to my clients, putting them in the microwave before each client is helpful because the bottle are not thin and does not melt. Love these bottles!!
This bottle works great have had no problems with leaks even when lotion is heated.
Great for oils and lotion. Happy to have bought it, aits always nice to have extras just in case.
This is a great product with a great price.
It was a challenge for me to fill this bottle. Once i got the lotion in the bottle it works good. The 'pump' only lets out a very small amount of lotion and found it would take longer than expected to get out that way. I use the other cap and it works much better :) overall im very pleased with this item.

In what could very well be the only jobs you'll see this week, due to the shutdown of the federal government over the fight over passage of a continuing resolution bill, payroll firm ADP and its partner Moody's Analytics have released their monthly employment report. According to this duo, the economy added 166,000 jobs in September, under the mark of 180,000 that was expected.
August's initial reporting of 176,000 jobs added was revised down to 159,000 jobs added. Both were disappointments, but no lower than we've seen for most of 2013. Even with today's disappointing return, the September jobs numbers are the fourth highest of 2013, and August's revised numbers the sixth highest.
The construction industry added 16,000 jobs in September, better than the 4,000 initially reported in August but short of job gains at the beginning of the summer. Manufacturing continues to limp very slowly along, adding 1,000 jobs in September. And professional services (in which architects and engineers would fall) gained 27,000 jobs. This was half of what the gains were for the sector in August, and well below what we've been seeing.
In all, a disappointing, but certainly not horrifying, jobs report. We will get confirmation or disagreement from the Bureau of Labor Statistics in time, of course, once the latest brouhaha in the Capitol calms down and government economists return to work. We just don't yet know when that will be.

Celebrating One Year of Service at the Temporary East Branch
Just over one year ago MPL staff moved into the Temporary East Branch Library, located at 2430 N Murray Ave. While transforming the space from a former pizza joint and a laundromat into our little library wasn't easy, Temp East has really become home. From our beautiful periodical and book displays, to the cozy bookstore feel, and the opportunities to really get to know our patrons, it will be a bit sad to leave Temp East behind. But, for now let's celebrate our year with a walk down memory lane. Enjoy the photos!
Thank you too our patrons for sticking with us through this entire process. We can't wait to introduce you to your new library!

Hello. I just joined the forum, and I am trying to make a determination about a truck that my husband had in order to sell it. He passed away in 2009 and was a supreme gearhead from the old school. He grew up with muscle cars and loved them all. He built drag cars, raced, and was a toolmaker...you get the picture. I need to thin out some of his collection. He had kept a 1977 Chevy truck that he always called the "3/4 ton." He always said that it was an unsually solid truck because 1977 trucks were notorious for rust. I have spent a number of hours trying to research 1977 trucks and the differences between the C10 and C20. The reason for this is that, according to the VIN on the door post, the truck is a C10. (The fourth digit is a 1.) GAWR is 2940 front and rear. The VIN is put on with rosette rivits, so am I right to assume this is the original VIN plate?But,the badges say C20. While I realize that someone could've just swapped badges, my trash truck is a 1977 C10 to compare it to, and the "C20" just seems heavier. The pumpkin part of the rear end has this on it on the front side:7CF D1648977328on it. I haven't been able to find out what this means.I also found a parts number at the bottom of the steering column780264410 34I can look for other numbers if I know where to look.It has leaf springs. The C20 has 10 leaves in the rear springs while the C10 I have has only 8. Could this truck be a heavy-duty package C10? The VIN also says, Camper Loading CG DataCWR 5560 IM A 74 IN Dim 8 0 INDoes this mean the max. weight of a slide-in is 5560 lbs.? What does the rest mean?I haven't had the hubcap off in the rear to count the lugs. I understand that C20 are 8 lug and C10 are 5 or 6? If I'm reading the VIN plate right, the truck should have 15" tires. It has 16. The tires on it now are LT 235/85R16 M+SThis truck has been garaged kept for the last 12 years. My husband had owned it since 91. He had a design in his head for a carburetor that would make it get better gas mileage and was keeping it for his retirement years. But, he never got to do that.The interior looks original. The dash is not cracked. It's not missing any trim that I can see. I think it has a 350 V-8. (Nothing but V-8's were allowed around here!)It's a cold-natured start. I know it is good truck, but I don't want to misrepresent what it is. This is part of our child's inheritance, so I'm willing to go to some effort here. I had it officially appraised, and there was no problem with the VIN. I had not looked up the VIN then. It was called a C20 in the appraisal and they used their computer to look up VINs, so I'm a little confused. I'm in the process of trying to look up the previous owner to ask him about the truck. Maybe I'll get lucky.What I would like from the forum folks is any help in identifying it as a C10, C20, or some combination of the two. I am probably not going to be able to take anything apart, so I will have to have info that I can visually check. I haven't been able to see an engine number, but I'm not sure I'm looking in the right place. I know that the motor may not be original, but the VIN says it should be a 350 V-8. This truck is very solid with virtually no rust. Paint is very good, and it is a Scottsdale. The bed has had some sealant around the seams, so rust is not a problem. This truck looks very good as is. I would like to sell it to someone who loves old trucks and would like to keep it on the original side. Sorry for the long post. Thanks for any information or advice you can give me.
Well, I found out that I'm counting the leaves wrong. The C20 has 8 leaves and the C10 has 6. Also, the paperwork on the C20 shows my husband as the second owner. I have the papers the first owner got when the car was inspected. It lists the original numbers. Haven't gotten into those yet.
Hello there. I recieved your post yesterday, but it took me this long to get my leaves counted. I have a 1977 c20...."Camper Special". Beautiful Truck. Has a 454ci motor in it, with 2-wheel drive, 4:10 posi rearend. Now.....my leaf springs in back have 10 leaves with one big over-load leaf at the bottom. They list my truck as a 3/4 ton at the DMV, but I suspect it might be a 1 ton. (Camper Special) You say a c20 has 8 leaves on the spring, its prob a 3/4 ton. I would say. Mine rides REALLY tight. 16.5" tires. Which were hard to find, but I wanted to keep the chrome rims. I will keep looking and if I find anything that helps answer this question, Ill send it to you. Sounds like youve got a cream puff there. I love my truck, I just wish it got better gas mileage. Im gettin about 12 around town. But...she is VERY fast. Sharp ride that turns heads everywhere I take her.
My tag inside the drivers door has these listings; GVWR 8200.....GAWR front 3800.....GAWR rear 5560. 9.50-16.5 tires.
Your truck sounds really nice! Lots of power. The tag on my truck has GVWR 5300. Where does yours say it's a camper special? I've read that many 1960s and 1970s trucks were set up to appeal to campers. I don't know the gear ratio, and I would rather not have to get into teeth counting. Do you think the numbers in my first post could reveal any information on the gear ratio? Maybe it's like a 3.73, but I don't know--the gas mileage is not so good if I remember. I haven't found any websites that explain the numbers on the pumpkin, but I haven't given up yet. Thanks for your help.KyBorn231

Thanks, WayNep, for your help. I appreciate it. I'm going to print the codes and see which I can identify. I still have questions though. (See first post.) The fourth digit is for a 1/2 ton and the truck is called a C-20. So, I'm thinking it has some heavy-duty options maybe. The leaf springs are heavier than those in my 1977 Silverado. The tires are 235/85R16 and the Silverado has 15 in. I know there's some leeway on tire sizes, but my husband always called it "the 3/4/ ton."I have some more information from the original papers: Engine # V0411-TKB, Transmission Y7C-22D, and Axle KAX 108W72 From the VIN, the motor should be a 350 V-8 4BBL. The truck has automatic transmission, but I haven't tried yet to go any deeper on these numbers. Thanks for any and all help.
Also, to all, does anybody have any specifics on these codes? Z81, Z82, VR2, or VR4? Thanks.
OK, according to this website http://www.maliburacing.com/auto_tranny_id.htm (which was really helpful), my transmission is a TH350. The shape matches and the pan has 13 bolts. Says this Xms is for usage: low torque, heavy car.
camper specials usually have holes drilled into the sides of the truck bed for brackets to hold the slip in camper in place with turn buckles.. there may also on the 77 models braces on the windshield pillars for the front shocks to dampen the motions to the overhead camper section..my brother in law had a 73 C20 4x4.. and replaced it with a special order C30 camper special with a 2 door cab.. the massive dolphin camper he had ordered bowed the axle under the C20.. had to wait 10 months for the special order C30.. the C30 came with the 454.. he swapped on headers.. rejetted the carb.. but made a HUGE mistake.. he adjusted the APT screw.. i was there.. watched him get in there with a pair of needle nose.. he was never happy again.. VR2 and VR4 are slightly different styles of REAR BUMPERS or the hitches below them..i managed to get a cheep 78 C20.. the truck i always wanted.. my nephew begged me out of it.. all it needed was a replacement drivers door.. as it had been folded back when it was hit. did not even bend the jam.. i measured.. i just had not found the proper color in the wrecking yard.. he ripped the 454 out and sold it.. scrapped the truck. since it previously had a huge camper on it.. it only had 55K miles.. what a waste..
there are NO instructions for resetting the APT adjustment .. and the tool shown above will NOT work when the carb is assembled... but a proper adjustment is needed if you have swapped anything that will effect air fuel ratio.. the APT adjustment limits the downward movement of the primary metering rod hanger..since a quadrajet gets onto the main circuits at a MUCH lower RPM.. this adjustment is critical..if the APT is too low.. the carb will backfire on acceleration.. and have a horrific flat spot just off idle.. it will also be hard to drive at low RPMs.. if the APT is too high.. the air fuel ratio will be way rich and fuel economy will be in the dumpster.. if you have NOT adjusted the APT screw .. DON'T.. if the carb has been rebuilt.. you might end up doing it.. the proper way is with a carb expert on a chassis dyno and a smog machine up the tail pipe.. at PART Throttle ..or..with seat of the pants tuning 1/4 turn at a time over several days between adjustments..cheep air fuel ratio gauges can also be used.. most dyno tuners want to tune for full throttle power.. not part throttle drivability and fuel economy..
WayneNep, I have had life intervene and haven't been on here for a long time, so I'm sorry I haven't responded until now. I will look for the bed holes. I'm not sure about what I'm looking for with the brackets near the window posts. What's the best way to view this?Your story about your nephew was unfortunately not an uncommon story. Young people often just want a fun drive--chop, part, and paint. They get a kick out of making something "unique" but not out of having something original. They probably don't or can't have any actual memories of seeing the vehicle new as do older drivers. Of course, there are some that love the originals, too.As far as the carb advice, thanks. I'm NOT touching it and won't let anyone else. The truck is cold-natured but doesn't have any problems starting when the temps are up.It's a weekend truck, not a daily driver. Would like to sell it to someone who would appreciate it and take care of it. I took a bunch of photos of it that I could email to anyone seriously interested.
The previous owners son had the truck painted, and the Camper Special metal insignia came with it, in the glove box. It looked better w/o them, so I left them off. Not sure about the rearend numbers. Never looked into them. The manufactures option list was with the truck. Thats where I got the rearend ratio from. Ive found so much about my truck on the internet, you might find something there. Good luck friend.
if it has 8 lug wheels its a c20 3/4 ton
the previous owner had it painted, and the "Camper Special" metal insignia plates, that were just behind the cab, were in the glove box. Also has the metal brackets sticking out from the front of the bed to tie the camper to. Has clip-on brackets sticking out of the rear bumper on either side also for attaching the camper. Has the sliding rear window that opens to the camper when its on too. I wish I could figure out how to put a pic of it out here, but apparently Im not that smart. Anyways, hope this helps. ps; I finally got a radar detector for it......after 3 tickets for speed, it does help! This truck will go 80 mph without you even realizing it!

Giving Annual Giving
The Wabash Annual Fund directly supports Wabash students and the College's mission to educate men to think critically, act responsibly, lead effectively, and live humanely. Your annual gift sustains the traditional Wabash experience while also providing the most innovative opportunities for students.
When our founders knelt in the snow 180 years ago, they were serious about establishing a college for young men in the heart of the Wabash country. We are serious about continuing the tradition of excellence put forth by our dedicated founders.
Wabash was started with $25,000. Now, we have our sights set on increasing our Annual Fund to $4 million. Seriously. Continuing to provide an education and opportunities that develop men who change the world requires the serious and fanatical support of alumni, parents, and friends like you.
Give serious consideration today to supporting Wabash students by making a one-time or recurring gift to the Annual Fund.
Participation doesn't mean making a BIG gift, it means making A gift.
At Wabash we don't say our alumni are loyal, we say they are fanatical. In the 2014 U.S. News and World Report college rankings, Wabash has the 27th highest graduate giving rate among National Liberal Arts Colleges. In order to achieve continued excellence, we want to increase this participation rate every year. Participating doesn't require you to make a big gift, but it does require you to make A gift—not just for one year, but every year.
Here are some reasons why your participation is critical to expanding the culture of philanthropy at Wabash.
- Consistent participation is the foundation on which all philanthropy to Wabash is built.
- High alumni participation sends a clear message to our students that those who came before them place a high value on their education and are willing to invest in the institution.
- Prospective students rely on rankings such as those in U.S. News and World Report and other college guides to inform their college choice. The alumni giving percentage helps drive those rankings.
- Foundations who provide generous private support look to our alumni giving percentage as a sign of a stable, well-supported institution—criteria essential to any successful proposal.
Join with more than 5,000 other alumni and friends who annually support the Wabash students and faculty by making your Annual Fund gift now.
There are seven areas of the Annual Fund for you to allocate your gift. In addition, when alumni celebrating a reunion during the 2017 Big Bash Reunion Weekend make a gift, they are supporting Wabash students and helping their class achieve their reunion year giving goals.
Leadership giving to the College begins with those who give $1,000 or more from personal contributions or a combination of personal and corporate matching gifts as members of the 1832 Society.
Matching Gifts
Your gift to the Annual Fund might also be eligible for a matching gift from your employer. Matching gifts often allow you to double or triple the value of your gift to Wabash.
Fiscal Year & Annual Fund Goals
Gifts made to Wabash between July 1, 2016 and June 30, 2017 will be included in the 2016-2017 fiscal year and will be counted toward the 2016-2017 Annual Fund goals.

Focus Rookie
2012 Focus 5-Door Autocross Review
Ran my first Autocross with my 2012 Focus 5-Door Titanium, Red Candy (red ones go faster). I do not have the Titanium handling package. I just bought the car and could not get the wheels and tires in time so I ran on the factory 17" wheels and Continental all-weather tires it came with. I had 500 miles on the clock when I got to the event. I plan to run in STF this year, though I plan to get a small "u" to put at the end when I order the magnets, just 'cause.
As it is a Titanium it is a Select-Shift auto. Yes, I agree manual is better for autocross, but I could not have a manual and the creature comforts and I went with the options. I was actually very happy with the Select-Shift. I would start out in S1 and it would jump to S2 once I hit redline and stayed there just fine. Don't recall seeing S3. If I slowed for a big corner I could drop it to S1. If you let me design the car I would have made the whole shift lever the +/- lever like in most cars, but the +/- button was not really a problem for me. I frequently used the Select-Shift on the street so my hand fell to the button every time naturally. If I had to do it again I would still get the Select-Shift.
Sat was a Test and Tune event. Your heat runs for 50 min, get as many runs as you can. Think I got about 8 runs. I did try one run with traction control on, just to see what it was like. I actually liked it. I could throw it around corners and the car would pivot without sliding, even on the non-performance tires. When I got back to grid there was a strong smell of brakes so I turned it back off and left it off. A note about that. I am a computer tech and the computer system in MyFordTouch equipped Focus makes me grin every time I sit in the car, but having to scroll through menus to get to the screen to turn off the traction control only to have it turn back on every time you shut the car off is a real pain. If I turn it off, leave it off! I know most cars turn it back on, but those cars are also wrong and most cars it's just a button you press.
My driving style is best described as "excessive". I tend to use too much gas, too much brake, and too much steering. I am always working on getting slower and smoother which I know is quicker. At first the car was convinced I was an idiot (I am not arguing) and kept helping. I would hit a turn too fast, forget my training and yank the wheel to the right and slam on the brakes, only to find I was unable to press on the pedal. The car had applied the brakes already. That bugged me a little, how I am supposed to drive fast if the car got in the way. As I learned the car, and remembered my training, and got back the skills I lost from our winter break the car stopped helping, because it no longer needed to.
Sunday was an actual autocross. I was in the last heat and as I watched the other drivers I set myself a goal of 75 seconds. I hit that on my third run. My fourth run was a 74, but I hit a cone. I am confident good tires would have helped me by 2 seconds. The steeting and braking were spot on. The acceleration was peppy, but not excessive so I could simply floor it anytime the wheel was close to straight. The Select-Shift, as I said, behaved perfectly. I have a long list of vehicles on my autocross resume, 89 Taurus SHO, Saturn SC, Camaro Z28, Mustang GT, Corvette, S10 Xtreme, Mercedes SLK32 AMG and others. The Focus was the easiest to drive of any car I have competed in. It was very predictable and well mannered. I could keep one foot on the gas, and one on the brake. I could keep the RPMs up, turn the wheel and when I tapped the brake the car would simply pivot.
I loved the idea of Torque Vectoring when I read about it. Sadly there is no light to tell me when it is working, but I did notice that when cornering sharply at speed the car did not spin the inside front tire like most other FWDs I have driven tended to do. Not sure if that was the TV engaged or some other wizz-bang gizmo but it felt like it had limited slip and I liked it!
In the end I won the STF class! But was the only one in it, so there is that to consider. If I look at other classes I could have run in HStock. I would have taken second there, 2 seconds behind a Mazda 3 on Hankook Ventus R-S3 tires. I was less than a second behind the FStock winning Camaro. We have a local class we called STO4 which is a 4 cylinder on ST legal tires, open to any mods. A catch all class. Of 8 I would have placed 3rd. Less than 2 seconds behind a very modified Honda Del Sol and .7 seconds behind the second place Honda Civic SI with light mods on Dunlop autocross tires. Not bad for a stock Focus on 500 treadwear all-season tires.
I had a lot of compliments on the car. Several people asked to sit in it, and I think I sold one to an older gentleman who asked a ton of questions. The biggest compliments were the people that told me, "I never thought the Focus would be so fast!".
I plan to get a set of Hankook Ventus R-S3 tires on 18x7.5 wheels. I plan to get a beefier rear sway bar. I will keep an eye on Koni's site for when they release the adjustable shocks for the 12 Focus. Maybe some stiffer lowering springs.
If your thinking about a 2012 or newer Focus for Autocross I would highly recommend it. If you ask the drivers of the WRXs, Nissan 350Z, Corvette, Mustang and others that I beat today I am sure they will agree Ford did a pretty good job with this one.

Autox'd my 2012 SE Sport last saturday on stock 16's and all seasons....I was absolutely AMAZED at the handling of the focus in stock form. I ended up beating most BMWs, all the mustangs and finished with a very good time. I used to autox a setup Trans Am with 425 hp at the wheels, so I was expecting to do much worse than I did. I was impressed with the torque vectoring and the ability to take tight sweeps much tighter than most and still carry speed out of it. The track was a medium speed track but I was happy that 2nd gear didn't bog down as much as I thought it would. There was only one turn I was low in RPMs, however if I had taken a better line I could've carried more speed keeping it in the power band. I plan on getting some 15x7's running some Toyo Rcomps with a big rear sway bar and that should really make the car compete well. Maybe some struts and springs after that but the car really doesn't need that much more to it. I would LOVE to autos a new ST though! Very satisfied with my runs in a low hp car!!
Focus Rookie
Glad to hear you enjoyed your runs as much as I did.
I ended up getting Falken Azenis on 17" wheels from Discount Tire. They greatly improved the cornering. After some playing I ended up with 38lbs in the front and 45lbs in the back. It gave me good grip with the fronts and some slide with the back.
We had a VERY tight turn at the start of an event and I had some fun doing an e-brake turn. At low speeds I can crank the wheel and pull the brake and just about pivot on the inside back tire. I also tried at higher speeds but that just caused some exciting slides but not so much control.
Last event I PAXed 9th out of 42. That is with the stock non-sport suspension. The announcer was bragging on my times and I mentioned that at 39mpg I bet I also got the best MPG on the way there.
I will be taking home STF trophies from two regions this year. Not lots of competition but so far am undefeated in my class.
Now that I have about 10 events at the wheel of my Focus I am just as happy as when I started. I know I made the right choice when I took my Ford home.
Focus Enthusiast
Awesome! Yeah I think I would've definitely indexed 1st in my class, but the index barcode scanner wasn't working that day...oh well...I know I did good!
Azenis are great street tires...and if I was going to pull double duty I'd look at those, Star Specs, or Kuhmo XS's, but I'm really thinking about just going all out with some 13lb TD wheels and Toyo Rcomps. What size Azenis did you get for your 17's? I'm probably going to go with 235/50-15's from what I'm researching as of now.
Also, tracking a FWD car changes everything about approaching a sharp turn for me. I'm able to brake hard on entry and pivot the car really well. I'd never experienced that before and it works well on a real tight turn. I never grabbed the E-brake though and I'm not sure it'll work out well for me..haha. I'll have to experiment with it.
Focus Addict
You guys have inspired me. I have been having a hoot up in the canyon. I think once the heat subsides I will try an autoX this winter. It will be interesting to see how I can do with a stock Focus compared to rest of the participants. I used to autoX an '80 mustang back in the '80's.

Have fun!You Americans! You all think that Australia is just a little island! Geoff and Mick are as far away from Tasmania as, say, Montana from New York!!! (I don't know for sure where everybody is....). Then again, when the Tassies come over here (MI), they think they can just stop by and visit Mt. Rushmore.... :)Rick
I think someone should call and warn Tasmanians there's gonna be a new devil in town!! ;)

Yeah, it becomes a vicious cycle: the poor out of control they act, they less you want to be around them and the less you're around them, the more over-stimulated and frantic they get when they see you.
Purchase a good crate (if you haven't already) and use it. Increase his exercise and find a good trainer. The worst thing you can do is isolate him out in the yard. It will only make the problem worse. Keep him exercised and put some obedience skills into the mix with training. It isn't enough to tell him what you don't want (i.e. kneeing him and pushing him down and telling him no). You have to then replace the unwanted behavior with one that is appropriate. So teach a reliable "down" and "sit" and have him do that instead of jumping on you. Acclimate him to life where he has a place in the family, and teach him the skills he needs to keep that place in the family.
He sounds like a great dog who can be even better with some work on your part. Good luck and don't forget to have fun! Training is such a fun activity. Get the kids involved! You guys will have a blast!

|Yes ,Hide and Seek is a great game for dogs and kids. My daughter has a poodle mix and she plays Hide and Seek with him all the time, it always amazes me to watch him looking for her. Although I use it when she hides from me I don't look for her but send the dog to find her. She always says Mom that's not fair. lol
I second(third?) the hide and seek games. This is what we did to train ours and still do to tire him out when the weather is bad and cant take him out to play.
You can put him on a leash sitting next to you and have one of the kids go hide. then they will call him and when he finds them he has to sit to get a treat. Make it easy in the beginning, like you run with him to make him sit when he gets to them, they hide in easy to find places, etc.
He will love the game just after the first few tries.

Jumping is tough, they're exuberant dogs. My female is almost 15 months, she still bounces up to kiss me and the kids (my twins are 9 and my oldest is 10 1/2). If they block her, she'll put their arm in her mouth. I've taught them to catch her feet and pinch her toes. When she bounces at me, I try to stuff something in her mouth. If I don't have anything to stuff in there, I catch her. She naturally spins to get away and ends up getting a standing up belly rub. It helps. Sorta. Beats getting muzzle punched in the face like my male did at that age!

Your daughter's old enough to learn how to train. Girls are easier than boys at doing it exactly right and speaking in that high happy trainer voice.
5 year old boys are great ball throwers and boodah tug buddies. You might find the dog who tries to yank your arm out of the socket will let your 5 year old win at tug. My daughter makes fleece tugs for the dogs out of old blankets - cut strips 1" wide and atleast 18" long then braid them together with a knot on either end. Great stretchy fun.
Always remember a tired dog is a good dog!

I got him from a guy i know through work. He woved house and was staying with his parents, due to that and work commitments he was unable to care for him. I have an 8yo daughter and 5yo son and they adore him. I take him on his walks at the moment as he is too strong for my partner when he pulls on the leash. I walk him off leash like his previous owner did and he is great, he will walk 5m or so infront of me and then stop and wait for me to catch up, he will sit when i tell him to and when he walks to far ahead i stand still and he will return to my side.
He is a great dog and not even thinking of getting rid of him, he is a great addition to our family, just need to work out how to calm him abit.
Thanks again for all your advice everyone.
|Physical exercise is not enough- if that's all there is, you're simply giving them more stamina to be wild. Not to mention that a short walk is not nearly enough for most 13-month GSD's. Mental exercise is key. Up the training. What ends up happening is that you create a cycle- the dog is understimulated and acts out, so he is separated and gets less stimulation, and so on. You've only had him for 30 days, and he has had zero training or boundaries... your expectations are unrealistic. Start with the basics and start enforcing manners and rules. It sounds like the guidance of a good trainer would be really beneficial to you, since you sound inexperienced and overwhelmed- they can help guide you to better understand why your dog behaves he does.

Jumping up can be due to afection(although it doesnt seem that way because of his size, but think of him as a little toddler and you will understand), anxiety, excitement, playfulness, anxiety due to separation, eagerness to please the older pack members, etc.
Nothing that cannot be trained out of him without using force.
Stosh is right, keeping him away from his family(his pack members) will only make it worse.
We have a 13 month old male too. 3 -4 KM is barely enough exerecise especially for a dog that is as. active as you are describing. Lots of fetch, jogging, walking and training will tire him out though. This age is difficult but once you invest the time and patience needed in training at this age, you will have a wonderful dog. Its like teenage years.
For now, you can do a lot of ball play, running. And dont just feed him his meals.
Do NILIF. Nothing in Life is Free
And this : Mind Games (version 1.0) by M. Shirley Chong
Here are some positive training video channels:
To teach prolonged sits and downs, start when the dog is hungry, and have him sit . say yes! and feed him a treat. then feed him another. wait a second feed him another.
Release him and then call him back and have him sit again and do the same. Gradually increase the time between the treats. Same with down. It will seem like a long way to go, but you will see progress. And he will be lying down for minutes and then half hour with intermittent rewards and then no rewards at all.

He is very energetic, he will sit when i tell him to (most of the time) but then he is straight up, we cant have him inside cause he wont sit down at ALL, we will not lay down and relax while anyone is around him.
When my kids , myself or my partner go out he jumps up and scratches them, and has drawn blood on myself and my partner. I have tried pushing him down and saying no, i have tried the knee in the chest, nothing seems to work, we cant turn around cause he just scratches out backs.
I dread the thought of taking him to the vet!
We have only had him for a month and cant seem to work him out.
Any advice is welcome.
Thanks in advance

text: I hope this wasn't real. The team was like jello on defense. Very weak down low. Houston players could set and reset down low. And no half court offense. Even that lead seemed like fool's gold and it was. If this team is to move forward, Monroe especially, and Knight must now step up. It is Monroe's third year now and he should have dominated that Houston team. Hopefully, it is just a slow start like he had last year. The team just does not seem to operate on either end in a flow with players knowing their roles like other NBA teams. Now, I must start looking at the coach. Yes, it is hard to watch Bynum and Maxiel get so many minutes as both players are below the NBA average. And don't know what Tay really brings to help the team win. Hard to watch Stuckey and his drives. But no excuses any more. The young players have to step up.
