    Potential Engine repair/replacement avoided!!

    Sounds like a great solution, but with the nearest Bio being a 45 minute drive for me what can I look into doing??

    Only in Texas I've seen this!!!!!!!!!!

    I see some 550's and 650's around the mall near me quite a bit too. One of the local dealers lifts 'em and puts some big Michelin XML's on them, total Mall Cruisers.

    one of my friends is gettin' cocky and wants to pull w/ me

    x eleventy billion And don't bother with a chain on his driveshaft, just run some zip ties around it so the loose end of the zip ties will whack against him, good way to confuse the crap out of him.

    lonely truck

    Our forecasted Hi temp for tomorrow here in Denver is like 8. This has been the most wintery winter I can ever remember living in Denver since 89. There is STILL snow on the ground from mid December, my street is still packed with ice from that same storm, we keep getting snow every week and...

    lonely truck

    My trucks feeling a little lonely itself. It's up at my store, and I can't go get it! Broke my damn leg yesterday falling on some ice, so she sits up there very lonely. Some friends are going to help get my truck back down to my house, but who knows how long it will be before I get to drive...

    Daily P.S.A.

    We were out of town a couple weeks ago, and there were multiple single digit days while we were gone. I shut off the main water line in the basement and opened up a bunch of faucets to allow any remaning water in the lines the room to expand if it froze. Also opened up the cabinets in the...

    AFE STAGE ll INTAKE?

    The AFE is the unit I will be putting on here over the next few months. They state "up to" 50hp increase, which means with the other proper mods it will give you a 50hp increase. But from everything that I've read on here and other places it is hands down the one to go with.

    Ever Get Stuck In a Dealership?

    I saw the thread title and thought the sales manager pulled the old "stand in front of you car so you can't leave until you buy something" routine!! I only had to do that once when I was selling cars, and she had already bought the car. Her down payment check bounced like a bouncy ball and...

    block heater tripping GFI

    Both GFI outlets, as well as the circuit breakers, are less than 2 years old and only see periodic use, albeit heavy use with air compressors and power tools when they are used.

    block heater tripping GFI

    I have 2 dedicated 20 amp circuits in the garage, both GFI outlets. Had it one of the 20 amp circuits and it was tripping the GFI, moved it over to the other GFI and had the same problem. NOTHING else plugged into either circuit.

    block heater tripping GFI

    The cord I'm using has handled chops saws, angle grinders, small buzz box welders, so I'm doubting that's the source of the problem. And if I could make the cord shorter I would, but it's already almost stretched to its full length and it's in the outlet closest to my truck.

    block heater tripping GFI

    Forget the gauge but's probably 25ft and rated to 15amps.

    block heater tripping GFI

    It had only tripped a couple times before last night, when it would trip as soon as I plugged it in. But the block heater is on a regular outlet now, I just need to find a way to run the extension cord other than falling from the ceiling right in the middle of the garage! And my GFI outlets...

    block heater tripping GFI

    Checked all the connections and they're all dry, or at least the plug in the bumper is. As soon as I plug it in, POP goes the GFI. Not the greatest night for this to happen, supposed to be in the single digits tonight and I have to be at work at 9AM. I moved the extension cord to the one...

    pros and cons of ESOF 4x4 and manual 4x4

    Every vehicle I've ever owned until my 250 has been a manual t-case shifter. I always figured if something went awry with the linkage, I could still manage to get into 4Hi/Lo. In searching for my truck the manual t-case shifter wasn't a must, but definitely highly desired. The truck I ended...

    getting around to a couple minor maintenence things

    Got the truck in Sept when the weather was nice and it was still the 14ish MPG. I've driven the truck a hair over 5k and every tank but the one right after the fuel filter change with Stanadyne has been around 14mpg. The last two tanks have been right around 10mpg, but that includes letting it...

    getting around to a couple minor maintenence things

    My truck has been pulling 14ish MPG since I got it, except for one tank where I ran a bottle of Stanadyne through it and it had a brand new fuel filter, pulled 16.5 there. Been consistent around 14 since then. So my thought process is that the additive cleaned up a bunch of crap and clogged...

    remote starter/alarm install (having someone else do it)

    And I'm a DIY'er everywhere until it comes to electrical work, so I'll leave it up to someone else to put this in.

    remote starter/alarm install (having someone else do it)

    The unit I'm looking at is a Python 871XP so it's a pretty good unit, just want to make sure the installers are on point with everything. The guy talked a good game, just wanna make sure he can walk it too.

    remote starter/alarm install (having someone else do it)

    So I went to Ultimate Electronics, Car Toys, and called Circuit City today, looking at primarily the same setup from all 4 places. The salesman at Ultimate was a putz, so I don't plan on giving him a penny of my money on commission. Then the guys at Car Toys wanted EVERY penny I had. For the...
