Hoot - those horns - I can only imagine the fun. My best friend's dad worked at a place where barges get unloaded. His dad became good friends with one of the captains of a barge. He asked the captain if he come across one - to get him the horn off a barge. Well, he came through - and he...

Would have to go retro for a minute - with a 1 year old a 6 year old running around - got to add some of theirs as well that aren't too bad. MASH (All time favorite) Andy Griffith Show All in the Family Mama's Family Carol Burnette Show Lone Ranger Rifleman The Three Stooges Gunsmoke...

Easy, peasy pie... http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/ins9400/en/sm/display.htm#wp1006390 On edit: Might can call DELL direct to see what they have on pricing for a replacement LCD. I would estimate somewhere in the neighborhood of $150 to $200? Look and see what your Dell...

Laptop fans can be variable and come on when needed when the internal temperature gets too hot. Turn off (stop spinning) when the internal heat cools down enough. Can you see the fan blades - should be located on the back corner? If you can - when it is not making the whining sound look to...

Mike, When my injectors failed. I had a lot of diesel in my oil. The diesel fumes came into the cab and would almost make you nauseous. My oil pressure dropped to about 20 PSI at idle also.

Thanks for the ideas! Mike - I don't get it when the cab is closed - just notice it when the windows are down. James - Thanks for the ideas. I'm not sure if we get seasonal blends fuels in Alabama or not. I would think in the northern part of the state that it is very likely because they...

I have noticed in the mornings as I leave to back out the driveway (with the windows down) a smell of diesel. My daughter who sits in the back seat (crew cab) noticed it also and told me to roll the window up. I have checked - so far no diesel in oil. I have no smoke at idle or cruising...

Check out www.dropbox.com - it is any easy way to upload and sync files from anywhere on any PC. It is pretty cool. I will use it when I have install files I need and don't want to carry a USB jump drive or a CD, etc.. pretty nifty.. on edit: They give you 2GB free - have to pay if you...

Ah.. what a great thread. Sorry I missed this one. Hmm.. the days of having to worry with jumper settings on system boards to set your CPU speeds, having to know your IRQ's, DMA channels, upper and lower memory, free conventional memory, config.sys autoexec.bat, having to load things in a...

You only change the internal filter at major overhaul - but you can do what you want - but that is what is recommended. They also do not recommend a mechanical power flush either. Just a drain and refill we suffice. Only have to change the external filter regularly.

Thanks Jeff! By the way, I checked your album out on your truck. I noticed you are tracking your fuel mileage - getting around 14/15/16 MPG on your truck. What kind of driving conditions are you driving getting those MPG? Long or short trips? Empty or hauling/towing? I'm averaging about...

Beast, Where in Bama are you?

You are welcome! Anytime!

Thank you Robert. How far is Easton, MA from Wakefield? Just curious. I performed a network install for a company in Wakefield area several years ago. I hope to get back up to the New England area again sometime as a vacation. Beautiful area up there! I would like to go all the way up the...
