My work truck has cooling issues. Does anyone here have experience with Isuzu NPR trucks. On the open road it runs cool,but in town it wants to get hot, the gage pegs hot. I just replaced the thermostat today and that does not seem to be the problem. It is a 91 Isuzu NPR Diesel turbo. It has sensors above and below the thermostat. I have worked on gas engines but this is my first diesel motor. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

May the Lord comfort you in this time of sorrow,find strength in him. You will be in my prayers. Thomas

1963 Chrysler New Yorker 413ci ramcharger wedge motor, pushbutton transmission. This car had unlimited top end speed. Raced a few R/T magnums,intercerptors and done up firebirds.... Wait until competition hits about 165mph(ya can smell the rings getting hot) then drop it into second gear and away I go for the win... My other favorite obnoxious activity with Christine(my car was possessed and named for good reason) was to just mash the gas in a parking lot and make enough rubber smoke to shut down the cruise till the fog cleared...

I did a special project today, I feel so good inside for doing it...but I am sad for why.. Aiden Zaugg is a local little boy who has terminal cancer. The treatments for him are expensive and insurance won't pay for some of the treatments he needs... He is returning home for probably the last time on Tuesday...The local news asked for some things from it's viewers... I called and asked if they could use a house wash,driveway wash,toys cleaned. The grandmother said Aidens house has not been cleaned in a few years.. So today Triple Clean Powerwash stepped up. I am now considered one of Aidens Angels....I could not be more pleased! Maybe you guys might check out his website and at least sign his guest book. Here is a link to the news story: KEPR 19 - News - Video - Aidan's Angels Link to Aidens website: Surviving Cancer - Miracles Happen Everyday... Why Not Aidan?

Out on dvd... Not a major label flick but really enjoyable imo... IMDb Video: Otis

Prayers sent...

Thanks for the advice, I know you guys are right. I have a couple friends in my region that basically say the same thing. I'll let ya know how it turns out... Thomas

I coulp really use some help on an estimate for an apartment complex I am bidding on. Thank you in advance for any guidance you can share. The buildings are all 2 story with vinyl siding. The buildings are less than 5 yrs old and the manager wants just a basic spray down(she seems to be thinking of the guy with the little cold washer from last time it was done). I think a soft wash of the exterior with some proper chemicals would look much better.. It is 6 buildings, 2 story. Sizes range from 5500 sq. ft. to 7800 sq. ft. Total is about 39,000 sq, ft.

By Erik Lacitis Seattle Times staff reporter PREV of NEXT KEN LAMBERT / THE SEATTLE TIMES Pete Hall, of Surface Cleaning Technologies, does a test spraying on the painted-over mural. It appeared to work. Related Archive | Neighbors mourn mural creatures' extinction Within a couple of minutes Thursday afternoon, it became clear the beloved mural by the Woodland Park Zoo — the one the city's Graffiti Rangers mistakenly covered up in early May with gray paint, creating a neighborhood uproar — could be saved. It took a 73-year-old venture capitalist from Saint Simons Island, Ga., to provide the city of Seattle with a way out of its embarrassing dilemma. With a patented spray-washing method, it took maybe 10 minutes for a 24-square-foot patch of the mural to come through in a test. Peeking out was what appeared to be an elephant, one of many whimsical animals painted on the much larger mural. It didn't look like the spray had damaged the original paint. The low-pressure spray combined warm water with volcanic crystals the size of fine sand. But unlike sandblasting, the crystals shatter when they hit a surface, reducing the abrasion. The mural actually appeared shiny and new, having just been coated with water. And it was all a very green technology — no chemicals. Now the city has to decide whether to pony up for the rest of the job. The mural was painted in October 1994 on the underpass at North 57th Street and Phinney Avenue North. It was about 50 feet wide and 13 feet high on each side of the underpass, with giant, friendly animals. Originally it had been done in conjunction with a now-defunct program that channeled the energy of kids doing graffiti into legal venues, not sides of buildings. A couple of hundred neighbors helped paint the mural, and it had become a landmark for the neighborhood. Then one neighbor, Greg Zuhl, innocently called the city's Graffiti Report Line about tagging of the mural. The city took action, but not quite what Zuhl expected. It obliterated the mural with gray paint. On Thursday, Zuhl watched the volcanic crystals do their work. "Seeing the color come back just gives me an incredible feeling," said Zuhl. The designer of the particular mural was Josh Howard, now a 33-year-old New York City artist. "Wow. I don't believe it," he said Thursday when told of the partial recovery. "This is amazing." Pete Hall, general manager of Surface Cleaning Technologies in Bellevue, did Thursday's spraying with a 65-foot, 1-inch diameter hose. He was elated, and admitted he had been a little nervous. TV cameras and photographers were there to record his efforts. What if it hadn't worked? That's not good publicity for a 6-month-old company. Hall guessed it would cost the city $5,000 to $10,000 to remove the gray paint from the entire underpass. Rick Sheridan, spokesman for the city's Department of Transportation, said, "If the price is reasonable and results are as expected, certainly it's something we'd consider." On the sidewalk across from the cleaning operation, venture capitalist Bill Van Loan looked quite happy. The Georgia man has done well enough in life to retire and play golf. But, "I'm a Type A personality," he said. "It's stupid chasing a little white ball." So instead he put money in this new technology for surface cleaning. He invested $150,000 to become the Washington and Oregon dealer for the cleaning method — developed in England and called the Farrow System. Looking at the newly revealed elephant from the mural, Van Loan said, "This is going to do a lot for us." On the sidelines, some onlookers were glad that a venture capitalist keeps up with neighborhood news.
