I dont know how to get the vid to play to help you out.


Dave Repsher
I worked with him in the ICU starting in ‘06. Absolutely an awesome nurse. And a great human.
Then I was in the ER and him flying, he would bring me patients.

I do know that he got out of the crash with no traumatic injury.
Just burns on 90% of his body.


One of the pilot Pat’s favorite verses was John 15:13
“Greater love hath no man, than to lay down his life for his friends”




Editing to correct a 10 yr old memory.
It was the hospital CT tech Jimmy who rushed into the flames to pull Pat the pilot out. Armed with nothing but a basic ABC extinguisher.

Watching the video in post 112,044 by Ichi made me instantly nauseated for a couple minutes.
Dang

I was at home, in Lakewood, near our big trauma center where I work. My daughter was 3 at the time and napping. A cousin was staying with us for a brief time and just told her “take care of her, be home when I can”. And I headed to work to see what could be done.
Dave was flown to UCH, the big burn center here. Pat was pronounced at Summit.
The other nurse was a friend who was loaded on an Airlife Denver helicopter and flown to us and I was able to help care for him from the minute he arrived until he was asleep in the OR.

We were camping in Grand county and my wife’s phone started going crazy with people telling her about the accident. She went to see him in the first few weeks after he was flown down here.

As shitty as the health care system is at keeping people healthy, it is even more amazing at rebuilding a gurney of human parts back into a real human. Just amazing

have you pushed a 12v further than that? what was your experience like?

Not personally but have been around many that did, I used to work at a diesel performance shop that specialized in transmissions and converters.

But things like tansmissions shafts and components and billet torque converters. Going to need a larger turbo, intercooler, fuel pump, head studs, cam. Likely some other stuff I forgotten about.

I’m judging that call based on what I’d seen from when I worked there

I know it has a lot of gay in episode 2….

But wow “The Last Of Us” has some excellent moments.

I much prefer fast zombies and these are plenty fast.

Episode 5 where the kid has to kill his little brother, then kills himself from the overwhelming grief 😭

One line that stuck with me, the girl Ellie asks what things were like right before the pandemic. Joel says “1/2 the people wanted everything, 1/2 didn’t want anyone to have anything” 🤯

It is what The Walking Dead should have been. I don’t really watch TV but Angie is out of town and I was very bored so I stuck my toe in and 😳

Did a lot of reading and according to guys who live breathe eat 12V Cummins…

Check my line pressure at wot in OD, locked with a mechanical gauge in the accumulator port. Note the pressure.

At my mild power level, I should replace the 2nd gear apply (kickdown) band strut and anchor because they bend when you increase line pressure to above 115 PSI.

Check the band for wear and if worn replace with a “slip in” band available a lot of places. You can replace it fairly easily in the truck when you’re doing the strut and anchor. Just dropping valve body gives access. I watched some videos and not hard.

Based on my measured before line pressure, turn line pressure regulator adjustment out (to increase pressure) 3-4 PSI per turn to get 120-135 PSI which will make the TCC, bands and clutches not slip and handle well above where this truck is.

Adjust bands, change fluid/filter and use Dex 3 or Type F (ATF4 they say is too slick) as they will increase clutch and TCC grip.

According to these folks, the above will make an otherwise healthy trans last a long long time at power under 250HP/600TQ

Bent Strut

Billet Strut and anchor in place

Also, I already knew the fluid doesn’t circulate in park position but they suggest letting trans cool in neutral (not park) after hard towing and also neutral for warming up on a cold day.

Transgo has some valve body shift kit options that serve these transmissions very well.

When raising line pressure in these units, the stock governor pressure solenoid can get flooded and unable to exhaust enough fluid. Borg Warner makes a higher flowing solenoid that works well with elevated line pressures. https://www.ebay.com/itm/2044230311...SMlhvr7Fa9MVTLd2SabnLfNHQ6|tkp:Bk9SR6TMq-H8ZQ

Trichinosis.
When I was young, I remember the women folk over cooking pork due to the fear of trichinosis.
Overcooked and pork was almost inedible.
Nowadays, with trichinosis being virtually eliminated within the United States with the few exceptions for some game meats, I prefer not to overcook.

I actually like super crisp, verge of overcooked bacon on a fried egg sammich but to just pop in my mouth I want it “limber”.
