    Protecting a Sticker

    I have a sticker that was printed out on a computer that I want to put on the window of my truck. I'm worried about it fading and getting worn. I was thinking about putting a piece of contact paper over it, but I don't know if that will keep it from fading. Any suggestions are greatly...

    wipers and such

    Mine does the same thing with left and right. It's as annoying as heck, but I learn to live with it. As for your wipers, it sounds like your circuit board could be burnt out.

    egt at shutdown

    Mine depends a lot on what I just did with the truck. As was stated earlier, the heat soak can be a problem. That's why you can go over 1250F for a brief moment and not worry about burning something up. Stay above that temp for a sustained period and you have problems because the heat soaks...

    choosing a tuner... SCT X2, or Superchips 1805 Flashpaq..

    I'm with ya on this one. My brother has a SCMT and my cousin has an Evolution. They both take a long time to switch programs, like 15 minutes or so. I think I can change programs in 5-10 minutes. I was really surprised the first time I reprogrammed. Also remember that the SCT has more user...

    Painting Plastic

    Thanks guys. I knew it wouldn't be hard. I was already thinking just using a fine sand paper to rough it up a little. Thought I'd see if anybody had any tricks or other suggestions. Thanks for the help.

    Painting Plastic

    A friend of mine has a 95 Mustang that somebody back into and broke the taillight. Ford told her it was an obsolete part, but found her one for $365 in Wisconsin. I found her one on Ebay for $25 shipped that is a different color. It has a crappy yellow paint job and she has a black car. I'm...

    To muffle or not to muffle, that is the question!

    I have a 4" straight pipe and a 6" tip. I am able to set off car alarms very easily. One of my fraternity brothers has his alarm's sensitivity turned all the way down. There are only three ways to set off his alarm: 1) open the door, 2) Smack the hood right above his siren, 3) Rev my truck...

    when to change oil again?

    Rotella SAE 30 isn't rated for Powerstokes (it's in the fine print somewhere). I did the same thing when I did my first oil change. I ran it for 3000 miles then changed to 15-w40. I noticed a big difference in the way the engine ran and sounded. I don't think it really hurts anything, but I...

    99 ps instrument cluster help please!

    For what it's worth, my 99's instrument cluster has been acting up as well. The lights on the left side are on sometimes, and off others. And my 4 x 4 light and Low Range light come on every now and then. Yes, it is a 2wd so I have no idea.

    Best programmer?

    I believe they can claim 110hp at the flywheel. Factor in the parasitic power loss from the drive train and it is a lot less than that at the wheels.

    Take a loan out for truck

    Still in school? As in College? Two words, student loans! My school allows you to borrow up to an additional $5000 a year for extra school expenses (room, board, transportation, etc). If you haven't already, you can fill out the FAFSA and get a Federal Stafford loan which is interest free...

    Newbie Questions..Programmers, chips, etc.

    A chip plugs into the computer itself. This requires removing the computer and cleaning the electrical connections inside and plugging the chip in. There are multi-position "flip-switches" available to allow you to change between programs (power levels) while going down the road. One...

    plastic to diesel

    Sorry for digging this up, but I hope you're not saying converting plastic to diesel is making synthetic diesel. Plastics do not occur in nature. They are polymers that are formed by humans. Usually this forming is done by reacting hydrocarbons (which diesel and gasoline are) with other...

    To the kids born in the 40's, 50's and 60's

    Kinda on the same note: 1) When you weigh 80 pounds you cannot stop a 250 pound pig by standing in front of it and squeezing it with your legs. That was a fun ride at the county fair. 2) When you weigh 80 pounds you cannot stop 2 pigs from fighting by kicking yours in the head...

    Crap in Fuel Filter Housing

    My cousin called me tonight and said when he changed his fuel filter yesterday, there was a lot of crap (rust?, dirt, etc) in the bottom of the fuel filter housing. Anybody know how to clean it out? He said he couldn't get a rag down in there to wipe it out because of the heating element. Any...

    To the kids born in the 40's, 50's and 60's

    I'll bet you grew up in town -popcorn I grew up a lot like this. I was born in 83 though. My nearest neighbor was 1/4 mile away and she was 70 some years old. My best friend lived 1/2 mile away and when we were 11 or 12 we wore a path along the road with our go-karts. Mine had a roll...

    4" Down Pipe HELP

    I drove my truck to work (55 miles highway each direction) for three days with the exhaust barely past the cab. The noise in the cab was absolutely horrendous over that distance. I actually had a headache before I got to where I was going. If you're driving a distance, be prepared to a lot of...

    More Gauge ??????s

    I have a similar story as I was shipped an oil pressure kit instead of the boost kit. Doesn't really bother me all that much. Does anybody know the size of the map line? I want to make sure I have the right sized barb fitting.

    Help!!!

    I tried to do just the opposite. I ended up tearing the seat apart and building a box to sit on the lower part of the frame. That's how I mounted my CB. I'd almost be willing to trade, but Ohio to Washington is a long way.

    10 k mod

    No pics yet. I went to Radio Shack and purchased a package of 5 4.7K Ohm resistors (about $1), a douple pole-double throw switch (double pole isn't needed, but I might do some further "experimenting" with LEDs), a 10K potentiometer, and a "project box." I have the double throw switch so I...
