Dagger Squad Random Headcanons: Cars

I've literally had this floating around in my head for ages now and it's the dumbest shit ever, but anyhoo I went to the trouble of figuring out what kind of car everyone who isn't Maverick would be cruising around in when they're not airborne. So, without further ado-

BRADLEY "ROOSTER" BRADSHAW: 1966 Ford Bronco

I mean c'mon, we literally all saw him roll up to the Hard Deck in this thing

Old soul, old truck

JAKE "HANGMAN" SERESIN: Lifted 2020 Ram 2500 Diesel

If this doesn't scream "Texas pilot with a huge ego" I don't know what does

There's probably a Cummins sticker on the back window

DIESEL OR DIE

NATASHA "PHOENIX" TRACE: 2020 Jeep Wrangler

Badass but understated

Doesn't need the bells and whistles to get shit done in this thing

ROBERT "BOB" FLOYD: 2021 Subaru Impreza Sport Hatchback

A sensible car for a sensible boy

Definitely sprang for the manual transmission

Most likely silver or dark gray

JAVY "COYOTE" MACHADO: 2017 BMW 330i

Let's be honest he got this for the sound system

Style with *some* substance

Living his best life in his fancy foreign sports car

MICKEY "FANBOY" GARCIA: a *heavily* modified 2009 Nissan 370Z

Less of a car, more of a personality piece

Nismo AF

Regularly replaces the tires because he's doing burnouts and donuts in a parking lot somewhere

REUBEN "PAYBACK" FITCH: 2020 Ford F-250 Super Duty King Ranch

Big, red, and fabulous

Work truck in name only

Definitely got this for the cushy interior (we love a man who treats himself to the finer things)

BILLY "FRITZ" AVALONE: 2021 Toyota Tacoma

I headcanon Fritz as being from Hawaii

What does everyone drive on-island? TOYOTA BABY

Definitely part of the 'Yota Mafia

3-inch lift for optimum coolness

BRIGHAM "HARVARD" LENNOX: 2020 custom Jeep Wrangler

Unlike Phoenix, Harvard *does* need the bells and whistles

Total Barbie Jeep

Polished regularly with a diaper

Definitely allergic to dirt

LOGAN "YALE" LEE: 2016 Toyota 4Runner

Dude's probably a dad

Ergo, dad car

He's had this thing for a hot minute but he babies the shit out of it

NEIL "OMAHA" VIKANDER: 2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500

If anyone's gonna have the token service member's hot rod I guess it would be him

Has to rev it every time he starts it up

Has racked up an absurd amount of speeding tickets in this thing

CALLIE "HALO" BASSETT: 2020 Lexus ES

A bad bitch car for a totally bad bitch

Iced coffee is a permanent fixture in the front cupholder

Smells like Endless Weekend from Bath and Body Works

Nobel prize winner Olga Tokarczuk: ‘We live with violence and misogyny like some sort of constant illness’ | Olga Tokarczuk | The Guardian

Books interview / Interview

Nobel prize winner Olga Tokarczuk: ‘We live with violence and misogyny like some sort of constant illness’

Anthony Cummins

The Polish author on her new horror novel, the genius of John Cheever and chasing the London of her dreams

Sat 5 Oct 2024 19.00 CEST

Polish author Olga Tokarczuk, 62, was awarded the Nobel prize in literature in 2018, the same year that she won the International Booker for her fragmentary novel Flights, cited by the judges for its “wit and gleeful mischief”. Annie Proulx has compared her to WG Sebald; for the London Review of Books, her 900-page historical epic The Books of Jacob (translated by Jennifer Croft in 2021) stands alongside “the great postmodern meganovels by Pynchon or Perec, Bolaño or García Márquez”. Tokarczuk, via the interpreter Marta Dziurosz, was speaking from Wrocław, Poland about her new novel, The Empusium: A Health Resort Horror Story, set amid creepy goings-on at a sanatorium before the first world war.

Where did this book begin?

The idea occurred to me many years ago but I was deeply engaged in The Books of Jacob and this funny sort of pastiche novel had to wait, even though I often work on different books at the same time and was also writing Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead [2009] on top of everything else. What actually helped The Empusium was the pandemic: after all my travels because of the Nobel, I had the chance to return home to my nest in the forests of Lower Silesia.

What led you to base it on Thomas Mann’s 1924 novel The Magic Mountain?

I have a love-hate relationship with that book. I’ve read it five or six times since I was a teenager and every time I read it differently – it grows with the reader. What struck me was my exclusion from the novel as a reader, and a person, from the questions it asked and the answers it gave. It made me realise that when I stood in front of my father’s bookshelves as a girl – at home it was my father who was dealing with books – a huge majority of the classic novels I could see dealt only with issues between men. I think this experience is quite widespread: girls have to confront their own absence in literature. I wrote The Empusium slightly out of anger and spite, I suppose.

At what point did the horror element come in?

I adore horror. But I realised, too, that only the tools of that genre could portray the topic I wanted to portray – the hidden violence, the misogyny that is rife in the entirety of our culture, which we live with like some sort of constant illness, like a predator that is always present and emerges from time to time to attack us.

"My translator says I have a very British sense of humour that isn't picked up on as well in Poland"

Has winning the Nobel prize made a difference to your work?

My first reaction [to the win] was a certain stiffening. The Empusium was therapy: writing is important but it’s also fun and can bring fun, be wild. I intend to remain close to this attitude; I don’t want to get dragged in the direction of prize-giving ceremonies and celebration.

Is it surprising to be your UK publisher’s top seller?

Very, but Antonia Lloyd-Jones [her translator] says I have a very British sense of humour – she says it isn’t picked up on as well in Poland as it is in the UK!

Before becoming an author, you were a psychotherapist. Has that shaped your approach to fiction?

I think so. Therapeutic work opened me to the strangeness of human existence. I learned that each person is a walking book – and to listen without focusing on the story that was going on in my own head.

You also lived in the UK for a while. What do you recall about that?

It was 1987. I’d just finished university and came to London to learn English and work a little bit, as so many Polish people did. I worked at a hotel at the back of Harrods. I lived on Fulham Road and went to Camden Town with a very international [crowd] to drink wine. Coming from communist Poland, this world was a huge shock – seeing the incredibly well-stocked bookshops and record shops was like taking an elevator directly to the seventh floor. I’ve visited London many times in the past 10 years; I’ve searched for that 80s London, which still appears in my dreams, but I’ve been unable to find it.

Do you have a favourite horror author?

I find modern horror quite cliche-ridden. I like horror from the late 19th and early 20th century: Edgar Allan Poe, the stories of the poet Gérard de Nerval, Dostoevsky, who wrote wonderful smaller works of horror. In Poland, we had Stefan Grabiński, a magnificent interwar writer who marries old-fashioned horror with the machinery of industrial society. If you like horror, I recommend a short story by Dino Buzzati, Seven Floors [1954], which is absolutely terrifying.

What have you been reading lately?

This autumn I’ve been gathering short stories. I’ve returned to Chekhov via George Saunders’s A Swim in a Pond in the Rain. And John Cheever’s stories are absolutely genius; I was sorry when I finished reading the book, a feeling I haven’t had in a while.

Do you have a new project?

Yes, a very big novel I promised myself I’d write years ago: a sort of homage to people from Lower Silesia, this amazing area in central Europe which has been completely depopulated and then repopulated. It’s very dear to me, because I’m one of those people myself. Formally, the book is similar to Flights, but its panoptic vision requires a huge amount of intellectual effort and I feel very tired.

Name something you need in order to write.

Basic calm to hear the dialogue in my head. I’m incredibly happy when I’m thinking and writing; it’s a wonderful defence mechanism that I’ve developed against the trials of everyday life. But the story I’m writing now might be my last huge book, because I’ve been having horrible problems with my spine. My body says: “Tokarczuk, this position you’re in when you’re writing isn’t for you any more – you should retire.” And I think that’s what I’m going to do.

The 2023 Emerging Artist Exhibition in Creative Pinellas’ gallery space highlights work from the ten Pinellas County artists chosen by the organization for this year’s Emerging Artist Grant.

Above are sculptures by Amy Wolf. She has written several articles for the Creative Pinellas website which give some insight into her work and are worth a read.

According to artist Kimberly Engel, the paintings above “explore vibrant color interaction while inviting viewers to meditate on an illusive horizon line where sky meets water.”

From the Creative Pinellas website-

Kimberly Engel is a contemporary abstract painter who lives and works in Clearwater, Florida. Her distinct gestural style combines a love for color interaction with spontaneous mark making. Engel’s paintings explore levels of transparency, evoking depth and light. She is inspired by the constant presence and changing states of large bodies of water. She has lived on the shore of Lake Erie in Euclid, Ohio prior to moving to the Gulf Coast. Engel describes her process as an exploration of herself and ultimately the dissolving of herself mirrored in the process of making and deconstructing works. Her gestural marks have been described as both compulsive and somewhat calligraphic. They undulate and disappear under thin veils of color.

Denis DeBon created the unique glass works seen above.

His biography from the gallery website-

Dennis DeBon is the creator of EnergyWebs, which are one-of-a-kind works of modern glass art. He is often been compared to artist Jackson Pollock. Like Pollack, Dennis uses simple artistic techniques and has combined reverse painting on glass with spin art and taken both to a whole new level. Each EnergyWeb is cut from a large sheet of plate glass, then free-style hand-cut into shape, scalloped, polished then spun. Dennis uses a multitude of application techniques and color combinations when creating each piece before firing and hand-signing them. Every EnergyWeb is a unique, one-of-a-kind work of modern glass art and he is the only artist in the world creating them. In addition to selling his artwork at fine art festivals across the country, Dennis was commissioned as the artist to create the Richard Dawkins Awards. In addition, his past creations have been presented to James “The Amazing” Randi, Carl Sagan’s widow, Ann Druyan,  and the Zora Neale Hurston and the Koi Society of America award winners. Dennis was born and raised in Buffalo, New York and attended the Rochester Institute of Technology in Rochester, New York, where he studied photography and graphic design. He now lives in Saint Petersburg, Florida and when he isn’t creating art, you might find him writing screenplays or in the boxing ring . . . working as a professional boxing referee.

For Kate Cummins’ installation, gallery visitors can see different sections of her work by pulling the cords to the side- creating new combinations of the three large scrolls.

From the gallery website-

“I can’t remember a time when I wasn’t drawing, painting or fabricating something out of something else” says artist Kate Cummins of her work. “I come from a creative household where the arts had a natural hierarchy”. After completing an Honors Bachelor’s of Fine Art degree from the University of Western Ontario, Kate travelled extensively and now lives with her family in St. Petersburg, Florida. Kate works in the film industry and has a busy studio practice where her focus has been creating work that responds to social issues. She says of her artistic career, “I am grateful to have a creative and challenging work life and look forward to concentrating exclusively on my artwork”.

The need to connect with others is the purpose and motivation for my art making. In my large scale abstract paintings I call attention to recurrent symbols: icons, motifs and totems. This personal iconography has become my language. Through it I am able to process and communicate perspectives regarding the effects of important societal influences, primarily; climate crisis, social conflict, and women’s rights. I rely on form and color to distill an internal commentary I cannot put into words. I see the work conveying my sense of optimism and confidence on a vibrant, color filled surface yet there’s an insinuated disorder and disguised unease. I am whisper-yelling “do you feel that everything’s ok-not really?” The artwork is reciprocal, a gateway in which I strive for a connection with others, I’m reaching an outstretched hand through painting and trying to say I want to make things better.

Also check out her Instagram to keep up with her work.

Jenipher Chandley says of her paintings (pictured above)- “My art is a testament to the strength and resilience of the human spirit”.

From the gallery website-

Jenipher Chandley is a representational artist working in her hometown of St. Petersburg Fl. Where she has raised her 4 children and is a proud new grandmother. She has earned degrees in Interior, and Graphic Design, from IADT Tampa. Jenipher is currently lead curator for Bar@548, She also has co-curated and exhibited in 100’s of shows throughout the Tampa Bay Area.

The story of love is the overarching theme in her work—the journey to find it, revel, cherish and protect it, the pain of losing it. She finds common ground where we are all connected, through nature, the human condition, and the energy all around us that drives us forward. Her artwork is real, sometimes raw, and emotionally charged, expressed through symbolism and poetic gestures. Jenipher brings her emotions and the entirety of her subconscious to the work, and through complete vulnerability uncover the strength to forge healing. She returns often to the divine feminine, to rediscover the beauty of inner power and resilience that conquers all. The work is vast in concept and style, while always human and relatable because our art should be as complex and ever-changing as we are.

Her bio from the gallery’s website-

Marie Cummings was born in Detroit, Michigan. There she studied psychology and business at Wayne State University. She moved to Clearwater, Florida with her three daughters, where she embarked on a career as a Realtor. When her last daughter entered college, Marie decided to seek a new direction in her life: she wanted to explore the world of visual art. While studying Experimental Watermedia at the Dunedin Fine Arts Center (Dunedin, Florida), she also ventured into Creative Writing at St. Petersburg College (St. Petersburg, Florida). This dual experience served as a launching pad for a serious embrace of fine art from an outside-the-box viewpoint.

Since that time, Marie has focused on the creative potential of Watermedia. She finds deep, rich, bold hues intensely exciting. Marie thinks of her palette, brushes and paper as tools for play. Water and paint dance together in her studio, making forms that spark the imagination and speak to the heart. Her work is a form of meditation, an expression of her soul.

Marie recently taught Experimental Watermedia at the Dunedin Fine Arts Center—the same course that first inspired her to take the leap into the world of art. She also enjoys teaching beginning watercolor classes for adults who are beginning to dip their toes in the wellspring of their own creative resources. She takes a relaxed yet encouraging approach to instruction, giving her students the time, space and gentle guidance necessary to grow as artists.

Aimee Jones uses her background in feminist theory to create paintings that incorporate the human figure in domestic and botanical landscapes. Check out her website and Instagram for more.

Agueda Zabisky describes her abstract ceramic sculptures as “a reflection on who we are as human beings, how we deal with challenges, and our quest for rhythm and harmony at all times”.

From the gallery website-

I have been working with ceramic since 2005. It all starts with a block of clay that transforms until it takes shape. Understanding that each phase has its right time made me learn not only to model clay but also model my anxiety and opened new paths for me.

The continuous quest to understand who I am as an individual and the mystery of that internal strength that humans have, which makes them move forward, is what inspires me as an artist.

I seek to create visual narratives that can inspire and instigate the observer’s thinking.

My project: “Journey to Equilibrium” We are made of pieces (symbolized by geometric blocks) that we collect along the way. We are born with nothing and are given love, knowledge, intelligence, strength and courage. At the same time, we also acquire selfishness, fear, anger and much more. Sometimes, we manage to make connections and a few pieces find their way to complete themselves, generating states of euphoria and happiness. Other times, our blocks move away, we make mistakes, we feel lost, full of doubts and we think that nothing fits, and this causes us anguish, anxiety and sadness. Surprisingly, even confused, we may have fun but not joy. But deep down, there is something we can’t explain and that keeps us going. It is as if we knew that all our pieces need to come into harmony, and that’s our challenge. No one has the same blocks as each one of us, and no one can arrange them for us. Obstacles happen all the time, but they are nothing more than pieces that we have to organize and balance. We also learn it is not possible to do this all at once. There is a lot to be done and no instructions manual on how to do it. We are discovering along the way and building our life every moment. It is a continuous balance of everything we are adding to what we want to accomplish. Something enduring over time. And, if at any point of our journey, we manage to have many of our pieces organized and better connected, we will realize that we are getting wiser and more complete.

Also check out her Instagram.

This year the exhibition also included writer Troy Bernardo and creative multi-hyphenate Patrick Arthur Jackson who both created interactive pieces for the gallery.

For Bernardo’s piece (pictured above) he attached QR codes to several of the items seen above that bring you to his written work.

Jackson created a board for visitors to contribute post-it notes with five words describing their relationship with their fathers.

This exhibition will close this Sunday (7/16/23). This weekend is also Third Saturdays at Pinewood– a free event with activities at all three spaces- Creative Pinellas, Florida Botanical Gardens, and Heritage Village.

cw: nothing just eren playing with some tits, pussy job, slight degradation (slut), established relationship, black coded

notes: just a little horny and high, bot proof read🕺🏽

eren making you give him a pussy job as he plays with your tits through the incredibly, intricate crochet bikini top you wore. the tingly sensation of him groping the material and squeezing your tits in his hand has you dripping deliciously through your panties. every curve of his finger makes you spread your legs as you mound your horny boyfriend. it makes eren gulp a few times down as you slick his cock up with the hot arousal that trickles from your clenching hole, and that makes those fat brown folds feel so sticky. your pussy hugs him just right, and his thinkness spreads your folds around him while you guide your hips along your waist. you get wetter as he slows the actions of his hands and focuses on rubbing your nipples till you’re close to an orgasm.

the material slides across your brown nips so smoothly that you can’t help but to buck your hips up, letting that eager bundle of nerves take control. your clit pulses with each ghostly strike of material. “ ‘ren-“ you hiccup, pulling him out of his nearly drunken state as he falls victim to the pussy that glides so lewdly against his swollen cock. “gonna cum, want to… wanna cum.” he can only hear the whimpers that vibrate out your throat. he can only hear your voice pitch up an octave when he hits a spot on your breast that make you circle your hips around his length. by now the couch beneath him shines with a fine gloss that makes it look neatly polished, but it’s the carnal mix of his never-ending pre and your slutty arousal that makes your hips flick on their own.

eren can only accept this defeat. he must except that’s he’ll cum from a pussy job that feels so much better cause your tits are your weakest point. he doesn’t play with them often, but seeing as you looked so gorgeous in that orange crochet bikini top that had little sunflowers crocheted in as well. cute little sunflowers that pebbles up in the bunch of brown yarn that covered your nips. “moaning like a fucking slut,” he groans, but his breath has nearly been extinguished, “pussy’s so wet from this? j-just from playing with your tits.”

you clench around nothing, and your body stutters on top of him. you can feel yourself losing the ability to keep pushing. sliding along his cock. eren’s too engrossed in making you finish; he’s enamored and pushing for your sweet release over his cock. so at that moment that you moan out a weak and pathetic, “ rennie, ‘m cummin’,” he can slip his cock inside of your pulsing hole and cum on his own.

2020 Ram 2500 Laramie Longhorn 4X4 6'4 Box Mega Cab Full Specs

Of all the modern brands, Ram has worked hard to establish itself as a leading truck brand. Ambiguity has increased the Ram 1500 in recent years, but has the Ram 2500 followed suit? The Ram 2500 has built on its younger sister's success and followed suit, offering refreshed styling, quality transmission parts, and well-planned trim levels that are more personal than just a set of features. The 2020 Ram 2500 comes in 6 trim levels, enough to leave plenty of options without overwhelming buyers.

The 2020 Ram 2500 Laramie Longhorn 4X4 6’4 Box Mega Cab is a beast on the streets in terms of performance. Its performance characteristics attract many drivers with big plans for their next vehicle, and the RAM won't let anyone down.

Read below for quick highlights and available features for the 2020 Ram 2500 Laramie Longhorn trim.

Engine And Performance

2020 Ram 2500 Laramie Longhorn Mega Cab is equipped with a Cummins Turbo Diesel I6 engine. This engine has best-in-class 370hp @ 2,800RPM, and it has 850 lb.-ft. @ 1,700RPM. It's matched with a six-speed automatic transmission for smooth displacement, and the truck is capable of towing 17,540 lbs. The payload capacity is 4,000 pounds.

Interior Features

Bucket seats are an option on the other trims, but they are standard on the Laramie Longhorn. This simple change makes the cabin more elegant and can improve seating comfort levels. What is impressive about Laramie Longhorn is that not only the front seats are heated, but the second-row seats are also heated. These front seats are ventilated to cool the seats during the summer months rapidly. Traditional leather is replaced with premium Figgieri leather in the Laramie Longhorn.

Laramie Longhorn has several unique interior accents that make it stand out. There are several differences in the cabin. The Ram 2500 features luxury front and rear floor mats with the Laramie Longhorn, rather than the standard floor mats. It has a universal garage door opener, and wireless charging is convenient.

Exterior Features

Laramie Longhorn has some exterior features that Laramie doesn't have. For example, automatic high beam, bi-LED projector headlights, and LED bed lighting are standard on this version. The external mirror has a memory feature so you can quickly snap it into place, and the windshield wiper will detect rain and turn it on automatically when needed. Also, Laramie Longhorn comes standard with a durable spray-in bed liner. The chrome belt molding gives the Laramie longhorn a little sparkle, like a polished aluminum silver pocket wheel.

Infotainment and Connectivity

The more advanced 8.4-inch touchscreen is standard on this version. An upgrade that many will appreciate in the Laramie Longhorn is the addition of GPS navigation. This provides users with detailed instructions on a wide variety of destinations.

With SiriusXM Traffic Plus and Travel Link, one can get up-to-date information on traffic and road conditions. However, Laramie Longhorn can upgrade to a navigation system with Uconnect 4C technology and a 12-inch screen, a CD player and HD radio are other enhancements that will become standard on the 2020 2500 Laramie Longhorn.

Safety Features

To enhance safety features on this trim, it adds four-wheel disc brakes, ABS brakes, Adjustable head restraints: driver and passenger w/tilt, Brake assist, Dual front impact airbags, Dual front side impact airbags, Electronic stability, Ignition disable, Occupant sensing airbag, Overhead airbag, Panic alarm, Perimeter/approach lights, Security system, and Traction control.

To learn more about the different trims levels, visit the leading Brazoria Ram dealers – Reliance Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram at Bay City, TX. Their team will show you more differences between different trim levels to guide you to the right truck for your heavy needs.

Threshold

Jackie Kay - on language and communication, story-telling and shared humanity

Let’s blether about doors. Revolving doors and sliding doors;

Half-opened, half-closed: The door with your name on it,

The heavy one - hard to open. The one you walked out when your heart was broken,

The one you walked in as you came to your profession (And the tiny door when you made your confession)

The school door at the end of a lesson, (Yes, Shut the door in Gaelic is duin an doras!)

The wee door on your doll’s House, or Ibsen’s Nora’s door, or Chekhov’s Three Sisters’

Doors imagined by writers the world over - Proust. And the chickens coming home to roost!

Or Chris Guthrie’s open heart at the end of Sunset Song Or the step left when the house is gone, the haw.

The door to the stable, bolted after the horse left, Not Tam O’Shanter’s tail-less horse!

The one that shut suddenly behind you Banged by a violent wind,

The painted red door code for asylum seeker, The X that says Plague or Passover

The one turned into a boat to cross the ever-widening waters. The North seas and the Aegean, reminders

Of the people cleared off their land, out their crofts To whom the sea was their threshold - on, off.

Take the big key and open the door to the living, breathing past The one you enliven over and over,

To the ship’s port, or the house of the welder; To the library door of Donald Dewar.

Then picture yourself on the threshold, The exact moment when you might begin again,

A new sitting, new keys jingle possibilities. Hope comes with a tiny Greyfriar’s Bobby key ring.

Then come through the door to this Parliament, new session! Pass round the revolving door (change in the revolutions,

In 360 degrees) – Take in the mirrored opposites: The Dutch Gables, the cross step Gables…

Here - rising out of the sloping base of Arthur’s Seat Straight into this City, a city that must also speak

For the banks and the braes, munros, cairns, bothies Songs, art, poems, art, stories,

(And don’t forget the ceilidhs – who doesnie love a ceilidh? Heuch!) A city that remembers the fiddlers of Shetland and Orkney

The folk of Colonsay, Bute, and Tiree The Inner and Outer Hebrides, the glens and the Bens

The trees and the rivers and the burns and the lochs and the sea lochs (And Nessie!)

The Granite City and Dumfries and Galloway The Dear green place and Dundee…

Across the stars and the galaxy, The night sky’s tiny keys, the hail clanjamfarie!

Find here what you are looking for: Democracy in its infancy: guard her

Like you would a small daughter And keep the door wide open, not just ajar,

And say, in any language you please, welcome, welcome To the world’s refugees.

Scotland’s changing faces – look at me!! Whose birth mother walked through the door

Of a mother and baby home here And walked out of Elsie Inglis hospital without me.

My Makar, her daughter, Makar Of Ferlie Leed and gallus tongues.

And this is my country says the fisherwoman from Jura. Mine too says the child from Canna and Iona.

Mine too say the Brain family. And mine! says the man from the Polish deli

And mine said the brave and beautiful Asid Shah. Me too said the Black Scots and the red Scots

Said William Wallace and Mary Queen of Scots. Said both the Roberts and Muriel Spark.

Said Emile Sande and Arthur Wharton. Said Ali Smith and Edwin Morgan.

Said Liz Lochhead, Norman and Sorley And mine said the Syrian refugee.

Here we are in this building of pure poetry On this July morning in front of her Majesty.

Good Day Ma’am, Ma’am Good Day. Good morning John and Helen Kay -

Great believers in democracy. And in gieing it laldy.

Our strength is our difference. Dinny fear it. Dinny caw canny.

Grinding & Polishing of Cummins and Caterpillar

Crankshaft repairs up to 700 mm in diameter for the main journal and crankpin is done on-site by RA Power Solutions. We know that auxiliary engines with medium to high RPMs, which make the engine compact, are found in Caterpillar, Cummins, Daihatsu, Yanmar, and other vehicles. In the course of our ongoing research, we were able to create a small, portable crankshaft grinding equipment that can do the grinding and polishing of Cummins and Caterpillar engine crankshafts without removing them from the engine block. It takes a specifically made in situ crankshaft grinding equipment that is small enough to be placed via the engine's inspection window to grind the crankshaft of Caterpillar and Cummins engines. The grinding of a Caterpillar engine 3416B was just completed by our team in Dubai. Email info@rapowersolutions.com, raj.shahani@rapowersolutions.com and call +91 9582647131, tel. 0124-4251615 for more information on crankshaft grinding and repair, and onsite crankshaft repair.

Overview:

Easily recognized by the “V” designation on the ratings chart, Productivity Series ratings have a higher output capacity (up to 605 hp with 2050 lb-ft of peak torque) than any other engine in the 15-liter category. More important, the component set delivers superior responsiveness to throttle input – engineering-speak for plenty of muscle to get you rolling up to speed with a full load on hilly terrain.

The Best of Both Worlds.

2021 X15 Productivity Series ratings from 430-500 hp share a hardware set with the Cummins X15 Efficiency Series ratings. The higher output ratings from 565-605 hp use higher-capacity components from the X15 Performance Series ratings. This dual engineering strategy ensures that the X15 Productivity Series has the output required to meet power demands while optimizing fuel economy and operating costs. The rpm levels are set to match the job requirements of specific applications. Cummins continues to offer both Rear Engine Power Takeoff (REPTO) and Front Engine Power Takeoff (FEPTO) on X15 Productivity Series engines.
