What are you guys doing for Memorial Day Weekend?

Anything special? Anything cool?  

Fixing a truck. Sounds like fun huh.

Bottom line, blowing smoke is like having no teeth, generally doesn't portray the highest level of intelligence

whoooooo hooooooooo!  

Coming back from the weekend in the desert pulling the small toyhauler, I would have loved to have traded the underpowered 4.6L V-8 in the (Ford) van when it finally got to 4000 feet elevation on a detour through Phelan. I understand the 2010 light duty diesel engines from GM and Ford are both making nearly 800 ft-lb at torque peak. What a difference that would make for this rig!  

i think that's your next upgrade! what's the latest on those engines?  

Engines are 2010 certified! They'll be awesome!  

2010 certified? What does that mean?  

The 2010 certification permits these engines to be sold in vehicles in the 50 states. The U.S. emissions laws have changed for 2010, so the engines have been calibrated to meet those new lower emissions. And with the emissions hardware in place, and ratings established, I'm very interested in what happens in the aftermarket to support further increases in available torque, i.e. transmission, coolant system and rear axle upgrades.  

will these engines be in 2010 vehicle models or?
