    pillar pods?

    Use SEM vinyl and fabric dye. I know it says dye, but it is more like a paint, it is matched to factory interior colors, and you can get it at O'reilly's, or most good paint supply stores. It will stick to that plastic, and will not flake off. This is the real stuff, it is not like some of the...

    Anyone think ford's new in house engine may someday morph and grow to 15 or 16 liters into a competitor for international in the big rig arena? If ford could put their own engine in their big trucks and have a reliable product, they could have an opportunity to take CAT's marketshare in the otr...

    Converter locking question

    The t/c should have almost the same lock/unlock points as the allison tranny when in tow/haul mode. The allison will not be locked all the time, neither will the torq-shift. You will definitely feel it lock up when slowing down in tow/haul, you get a ton of engine braking. Same thing with the...

    This must be the pic you are talking about, bigrigr. When I worked at lowes we had to go through a training session on how to load vehicles because of this couple, who actually had to sign a waiver before they left home depot. supposedly there was also 10-80 pound bags of quickrete in the back...

    Ford stock is looking damn good!

    I am investing in ford stock! They are the only one of the big 3 that has not needed tarp funds, settled with their unions, and has a halfway decent plan to get out of this mess. Their liabilities are comparatively low, and they have a decent amout of capital. Selling for 2.80 right now, has a...

    I need some advice

    Banks Power | Air Density Testing Check out this tech article. I am not a big banks pusher, but this test does go to show how good the stock intake actually is. For the price, I dont think I will ever change mine. Also, they used a dodge, so that tells me that they got the most gains over the...

    HAHA no, nothing wrong with canadians.... Just the wierdos from manitoba that come down looking for deals. I worked at the lowes for 2.5 years when the exchange was so good, and it was about all I could stand. but by all means, these guys were the exception.

    The water is a-rising in grand forks...

    The us 2 is the kennedy bridge, the demers ave is the sorlie bridge. The other you are seeing I believe is the point bridge. It is fairly old, i am sure it was there when you were.

    The water is a-rising in grand forks...

    TG, I hope you are right... the closure and realignment commision has been after the base for a long time. It would be a huge loss to the grand forks economy to lose the base. Maybe a joint venture for some new equipment between here and fargo? They lost their fighters last year, maybe would...

    engine lopes, sounds like a miss upon start up

    the OD light flashing is some sort of tranny fault code, could be anything from excessive slip in the tc, low pressure somewhere, a broken or frayed wire, anything. Does the speedometer work? If not it could be a speed sensor acting up. 190k is a lot of miles on the tranny without a rebuild...

    Alterra Diesel Maxx BioAdditive, anyone heard of this or used it?

    Sounds like an interesting product, I wonder how different this product is from straight biodiesel. B2 blends sold at minnesota stations now claim about the same benefits.

    sounds like gfafb is going to lose it's kc135's in the near future too, and all that will be out here are the predator aircraft. Final Tanker Flies Out Of GFAFB Monday - Fargo- msnbc.com Breaking flood news is that fargo has crested at 40.82 feet, now it is just a waiting game to see if the...

    well, so far the dikes are holding, they were built in 98 and 99 and should be good to 58' ('97 was 54.4') but in 97, washington was pretty much the border between flooded and not, so I imagine that building would have had 1st floor/ basement level flooding. pretty much all the homes east of...

    Here are some pics from grand forks: rising water and the foot of snow we got this week. The only bridge that is still open is the us hwy 2 Kennedy bridge. They are building earthen dikes today to keep it open for another couple of days. I will keep posting pics as the water comes up. Keep in...

    ND/ MN Flooding

    Well the red lake river has crested for now, near my farm in thief river falls. The snow and cold weather has somewhat stopped the run-off from fields, but I am sure the water will come up again once it warms up. Fargo has an almost impossible task ahead if they want to stay dry, and by the end...

    engine lopes, sounds like a miss upon start up

    I have heard of problems with the oil foaming, but this was on new engines, having to do with the residue from the silicone sealant used in assembly. Usually this problem went away first or second oil change. with 190K I wouldn't think this would be a problem. If oil aeration was the problem I...
