You sure make it sound like a better car! Once the new t-stat is installed,
and operating temp goes up, it should run better and quieter. Not only
that, it will burn all of the carbon out and it'll get better MPG. A Diesel
Purge will help quite a bit too. Hopefully, the engine hasn't

The cheapest '97 I could find here, after I found that $6k '97 diesel project,
was $4900.
I will call the guy and find out I guess. Just not sure I want a 7.4
though.

Allen - I bought a 50cc Chinese scooter a couple of years ago [nearly got my
wife killed, but that is another story]. It was ok for the most part, but the
fuel line had a real tendency to fail [every 150 miles or so]. I got rid of it
after the wreck [@ 500 miles], but it did seem to need a

I have some experience with those. We had one at the dealership I worked
at. We used it to pull a boat. It will get 9-10 mpg (on the highway)
loaded or not. It will pull like a freight train. When we pulled the
boat
Yea, but I bet it pulled like crazy though.

I remember a post some time ago where someone had this problem. It ended up
being a plastic piece in the latching mechanism that was cracked/broken.

If Tatra were to take over Jag, which would be considered the inferior
brand?
Be careful, Tata and Tatra are two different companies.
If Jaguar production should be moved out of the UK, I can see US sales, at
least, disappearing. Present day Jags, although now fairly reliable, are still
Interesting. I have a similar sensation if not scenario. I have never received
a shock from the pump but have noted
a minimal shock sensation from the boat if I use the battery charger on the
boat battery with the cord plugged into
the pump house. Not sure if the issue is the pumphouse. Might

A friend has a 96 or 97, can't remember. It hauls large amounts of ass, and
has gobs of power. He tows a race car in an enclosed trailer with it, and

The main effect of water injection was to cool the air in the compressor
section creating a denser (more O 2) gas, like the turbo in Diesels. These
J-57s were incredibly noisy while wet especially in the back. When the
water ran out, the decrease in thrust and noise was very apparent.
