    mod for aftermarket ac to back seat

    Never heard of/seen it done on a SD, but my wife's '02 Explorer Sport has rear air in the console. Might be easier to use Ford/Ford parts than Ford/Chevy?? Just another place for you to look. :sweet Be sure to post some pics if you start this project! -popcorn

    go to jail- come out a millionaire

    Yeah, that's a lot of money... but doing 23 years hard time for something you didn't even do??? I think that's a much better compensation package than the usual, "Whoops, sorry about that" and a handshake from a smug prosecutor. Maybe if they made the attorneys that put them away pay half of...

    Question Almost an owner of a 08 F350 DRW, other owners pls read

    :lmao You might be right about drinking more Dew... now.... but I woulda given ya a run for your money a few years ago! I had to cut way back, too much caffeine :bob (guess I'm getting old). My diet used to consist almost exclusively of MD... wonder if that had anything to do with me having to...

    Question Almost an owner of a 08 F350 DRW, other owners pls read

    Sounds like you've got yourself a job 3 (mine is also). I haven't had any problems outta mine so far- nothing major anyway (although it's in the shop now 'cause the cruise decide to stop working the other day). I got mine new in March '08 w/ 3.73s and have 25K miles on it now. Mileage while...

    Wiring Fault on Trailer --no trailer attached

    I got the good ol' "Faulty Trailer Wiring Module" warning yesterday while riding around. Kinda strange, haven't had the truck in any water/mud, and haven't had a trailer (4 or 7 pin) connected to it in weeks? I didn't think much about it at first 'cause I'd read several people on here had the...

    Our new to us home away from home

    Yooper, I saw something similar to what you're speaking of, but always wondered what that would do to weight/handling? Do you think it would be too top-heavy or put too much weight on the front end? Just curious & interested! I'll be waiting on some pics of the new rack! -popcorn

    Our new to us home away from home

    That's what I was thinking Bama... that thing is CLEAN for a 1989! Heck it's hard to find one THAT clean that's only 10 years old! Hopefully we'll be able to do some camping pretty soon- should be starting to cool off some down here. Just too hot and humid to enjoy the outdoors right now. Great...

    Help Needed Looking for info on backseats

    Hey Rog, don't know if this would help you any but it would sure help me by getting a bench seat outta my living room! (my wife would be greatful too) I replaced the bench seat in my truck with two buckets & console recently. I think I've got the exact seat you're looking for- 60/40 split...

    note Interesting morning

    Boy, as if dealing with the wreck wasn't enough (not to mention repairs, tickets, possible lawsuits, etc., etc), then they give YOU a ticket too??? I agree w/ Dogman, any normal compassionate human woulda just told you to fix your tail lights (wink wink) and let you go! What a TOOL! :rant...

    Morse code coming from the dash!

    Now you're making me feel bad! Am I the only KR w/out navi?? :(:lmao That's about the only option it didn't have on it. It's got the 6-disc changer though, and the noise does kinda sound like the changer is moving discs around, but that's not it. I'll just try my best to ignore it until I...

    Morse code coming from the dash!

    It wasn't my cell phone causing the sound (I know what that sounds like-does it to my computer speakers all day and drives me crazy!). I *think* I figured it out this morning.... I started it up this morning and it starting making noise again?!? I was running late and didn't have time to...

    Morse code coming from the dash!

    It never fails! I went outside during lunch to check it out and..... nothing. It didn't make a sound- not one tap, click, buzz- NOTHING! :rant Raised the hood to check out the batteries and see if I could hear anything. The batteries looked great, and the only thing I could hear was a little...

    Morse code coming from the dash!

    That's right. I'm going to open the hood at lunch, check out the batteries, and also see if I can hear it in the engine bay or if it's really just in the dash.

    Morse code coming from the dash!

    No tuner of any sort- bone stock. It's not a *buzzing* sound, it's a tapping like someone lightly thumping the dash. It's not a rhythmic tapping either, just random tapping??? Only does it when the key is in the "ON" position and continues until the key is turned off. I'll check my battery...

    Morse code coming from the dash!

    Haven't figured out what my truck is trying to tell me, but evidently it's communication mode of choice is Morse code? This is what it's doing: When I turn the key to the start position (w/out cranking engine), a tapping or popping sound comes from the dash and sounds like it's right behind...

    Six Disc MP3 support

    You might try another mp3 disc w/out folders just to make sure that it will read mp3 format. I know my radio will handle folders (it has "<folder-folder>" printed on the 3 & 4 preset buttons). I know my mp3 software has two options for burning: data disc & audio mp3 jukebox disc.... not sure if...

    That nuclear plant looks awesome! Have you visited the Dinosaur Valley State Park?? We used to go there often when I was a kid and LOVED it! I grew up in Mineral Wells so it was close enough to go a few times a year. Glad y'all are having fun!

    Diesel-powered patrol cars?

    Don't know if any of you have seen this, but a buddy sent me this link so I thought I'd share. It's a diesel-powered prototype purpose-built law enforcement patrol car by Police Car for Police | Carbon Motors Corporation I'm sure there are tons of budget limitations and politics involved, but...

    Chevy Astro Pickup spotted!

    I've seen it a time or two driving around town, but never parked before. After getting a close-up look at it... it just goes beyond pointing and laughin. I mean- it's like staring at a car accident, you just can't turn away! You ALMOST have to admire them for having the guts to drive...

    Chevy Astro Pickup spotted!

    Definitely... umm.... unique! Waited for the owner to come out so I could ask a few questions and get the full tour, but couldn't wait any longer and had to get back to work. Didn't wanna make it too obvious and start sticking my head in his windows, so I just snapped a few pics and left. I...

    Help Needed Manual adjustment of electric seats?

    Well, I finally got 'em in! Just getting around to posting some before/after pics. They were a little bit of a B***H to get in... had to do some cutting & drilling to get the bolts through the holes. Seems like the brackets were shorter than the stock holes in the floor, and were a little...
