    Where is this circuit? Right now, the trailer wiring on my pickup is missing a hot wire, and I do not know where the trailer batt charge circuit is...

    Just ordered a present for Maggie (Mrs. JV)

    Nice knife. I think I would be more apt to invest in body armor, though. Is she in the service, or a contractor? Tell her thanks for me.

    Down Shifting

    Really quite simple, it is just a matter of horsepower. I probably overcomplicated it. Just for your knowledge, let me try to explain what I meant a little more simply. You have a 10K load on your truck, going 60 MPH in Drive. You floor the throttle. The transmission downshifts under an...

    I am a US Citizen

    Since it is dangerous to make generalizations, I don’t like to talk about groups as a whole. However, it is beyond me how these illegal immigrants come to America in blatant disregard for our laws, and then get free health care, in-state tuition for every state, etc, etc, and STILL they do not...

    I caught a ....FISH THIS Big

    Robert, I hate to pee in your wheaties, pal, but I am not really all that impressed. -popcorn You have 4.30 gears, I would expect you to have been even further ahead of him if you were pushing your truck as hard as you say you were... He only had 3.73's in his truck. :eek: I know it...

    Down Shifting

    You're doing fine. This is what the transmission was made to do. THink about it... You pull at wide open throttle towing huge weight, (full horsepower transmitted through transmission, say 275 HP? Multiply by gearing and weight of the trailer, and the torque is in the thousands of...

    plastic to diesel

    Cutting froghairs with a broadax, don't you think?:D The definition of synthetic oils (diesel included) is an oil made by either a natural or a synthetic stock material by a refining process, as long as the original material is not petroleum oil, or a living plant or animal. If it comes...

    Duke Ugliness

    So what happens if these guys in the Duke Lacrosse case are innocent? They have already been: 1) Put on the evening news, with pictures, life and criminal histories, and their names, among other things. The word “alleged” gets lost among the hype; 2) The one that was already facing assault...

    taxing oil companies

    I used to feed DDG (Dryed distillers grain) to my cattle. I am well aware of it's uses. But none of this makes food to go into people's mouths directly. And none of it solves the problem that we literally do not have enough crop capacity to grow all the ethanol or biodiesel we need, even at...

    Alternative power source

    I do believe I've seen everything at this point. Mein Gott!!! That is the most piece-meal, frankenstein looking contraption I have ever laid eyes on, and I have seen some DOOSIES! I wonder what the emissions requirements are for such a vehicle.... Hmmmmmmm......

    7.3 powerstroke conversion

    So the '94 was an IDI 7.3, and you want to put a PS out of a '95 into it? This will be infinitley difficult. A resource that may help would be the dieselstop. I am not sure any body on this forum would have any idea on where to even begin.

    taxing oil companies

    While i totally support your plan to go bio, the main thing many folks (Bill O'Reilly included, as he is a major touter of the Brazil plan) fail to realize that on an acreage per vehicle basis, Brazil has a huge, insurmountable advantage over us. We can not grow enough ethanol, with every...

    I'm more of an Autumn, but I do look good in any season.... :roflmao :roflmao :roflmao (where is Jvencius, anyway???) I guess I have a lot of things on my mind, and I love to hear myself talk.... So, therefore, you'll generally get a very round cross-section of tirades, rants, ramblings...

    Strange tire wear

    It is hard to say without looking at them whether they are safe or not. If you have doubts, do not hesitate to go to your local tire dealship (like a Les Schwab, if you have 'em wherever you are) and ask one of their older, smarter guys for advice. Also, Ford should be able to help. As far...

    What do you all think???

    What manner of demon haunts your dreams? The same thing that caused your first gal to leave you? Sounds to me like we may have a soldier in our midst, gentlemen, unless I'm mistaken. If so, tip a glass for ol' Jharvey tonight, he's earned at least that!

    What do you all think???

    You shouldn't have to, bud. Just don't rush into things and above all, ALWAYS, ALWAYS, be honest to yourself. If you trick yourself into believing something that is not, you can end up having some serious troubles down the road. Invariably, in life, as in all things, sh*t happens, but you can...

    What do you all think???

    Nothing to be ashamed of, bro. I am the first to say I'm whupped for my wife, but she is worth it, and reciprocates with love, respect, and compromise back to me. That is the way things work in a solid, healthy relationship. I would not let it go without at least having a talk with her...

    What do you all think???

    Wow, that's kind of rough, kid. I have two pieces of advice for you, take them or leave them: 1) To begin with, it is obvious that you love this girl a lot, since you did not follow your dreams, but rather, her. Anyone that tells you that you did the wrong thing by not following your dreams...
