That's about right for 4/0. Add 5 pounds to each end of the cable for the camloc connectors, too, as they are big and solid copper. We used tons of this stuff in the generator business, especially with rental units. Talk about lots of money... MacDan --- Craig McCluskey [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The one time I saw a Roomba in action, it was incompetent. There was a normal rug on a hardwood floor, and it couldn't handle the rug at all. I stared at it being dumb and thought, I could run any POS vacuum over it in 20 seconds and be done, yet I'm entranced by this Roomba for several minutes!

Went out today and found the throttle cable to the trans, it seems to be moving correctly. Took the truck for a little ride and the difficult shifts are 1-2 and 2-3. 3-4 seems to work fine. It seems if I shift from D to N and rev the engine just a bit before going back to D it'll shift. Driving

When we would make up cables for our rental generators we used the scraps to make battery cables for our cars. We had the nice solder type battery terminals, too. Voltage drop? We don't need no stinkin' voltage drop! I can recall a VW I had that was retrofitted with a set of these. Darn

Took the Dakota to the store, the 2-3 shift seems to have settled down considerably 1-2 is still out. The magic seems to be to slip into neutral, then back into drive and gently give throttle. Twice it slipped from 3rd or 4th into 1st at speed. When it does that it feels like you're in neutral

I'm divided between a shift controller and clogged filter. It could be a combination of both. I know that the shift controllers go bad on the A604 4spd autos in the Chrysler minivans and cause all sorts of shifting oddities. I would definitely change the fluid/filter ASAP. Kevin in
