Spike45 was one of those posters whose superior experience and expertise greatly advance the knowledge of his fellow enthusiasts. I know he has been extremely informative to me in his discussions about the care and handling of diesel engines when dealing with such topics as the proper filtering of intake air.

RIP Spike45. We are diminished by your passing.

Rest in Peace Gary.

It's always a wake up call when one of our contemporaries passes.
