hey guys,

I shot a short video yesterday.

I basically laid out the powertrain of the truck on the floor of the shop at the Milwaukee Makerspace.

Hope it all makes sense to you:



I also have a little more on it at my blog as well:
DIY Hybrid Pickup Truck

I think it's like that "body parts song" - The kneebone is connected to the leg-bone.... Only it's "The diesel is connected to the tranny... The tranny is connected to the motor... The motor is connected to the differential....

Ok, well, you gotta at least know the melody and sing it.
