The Olds diesel is a good motor (well, the DX block is, don't know if there's any D blocks left). As Bill said, if you feed it gasoline it's not going to like you but other than that I've found them to be very much worth having. Got one in a Sedan deVille right now.. it's not any too much motor to haul that car around, but it does a good job. I guess mileage, with lock-up convertor, at around 25 or so on the highway, I see no problem with that. John |

I'm not against someone working non-union, but from my experience, non-union workers typically do not do it better in the construction trades. Many companies hire guys in and give them limited training. I've seen some pretty shifty work from non-union guys. I've seen some non-union guys do good work, but they tend to be the exception. I don't fault the workers themselves, necessarily, because relying on a company that's only out for its own profitability to provide training, sending them to trade schools, is not necessarily the best way. They tend to get the bare minimum and the companies often don't provide the necessary tools to get the job done properly. Usually, non-union guys are responsible to provide their own tools, and many times that means a minimal set of tools. Our companies provide us all our tools and we get all that we need to properly do the job. I salute you for your efforts in your career, but my experience is different. -- Registered Linux user #378193 |

The union construction guys are very good sometimes and sometimes they
aren't. Thye problem with the unions is they get bad leadership sometimes and once that happens getting them out is impossible. The UAW did the auto industry no favors in the 60s and 70's which is why everyone bought Toyotas. I don't have a problem with them making the money they do, but I want first class workmanship for that much money. |

I believe American cars were much better relative to the rest of the
world when we had both the majors and the independents. It's no accident that the most reliable and toughest fifties and sixties vehicles made in America with the highest percentage still on the road and with loyal actitvist owner's clubs are Studebaker and International Harvester. (Jeep was part of an independent then too.) In the late sixties and early seventies American cars sucked. The Vega was a rust ball with an engine that self-destructed in some cases in nine months, the Pinto would explode if rear ended (but ironically had some good drivelines!), on and on. |

That was a personal opinion, and not based on any fact. My opinion
of you is that you don't give a **** about my home land, America! I consider you a traitor. God Bless America, ßill O|||||||O http://www.billhughes.com/ Ruel Smith wrote: ><snip BS> |
