    Decent CHEAP laptop?

    Looks good. That A10 is a good processor. With the RAM and SSD, you'll be golden. Just make sure you uninstall all the bloatware that Lenovo (and every other manufacturer) includes. http://www.pcdecrapifier.com/

    Decent CHEAP laptop?

    Yeah, it seems like flash memory must be getting cheaper. Both RAM and SSD's are dropping in price. My 512 GB Transcend SSD was $180 about 6 months ago. It's a good trend.

    Decent CHEAP laptop?

    Ferm, I'm worried that you found a 1 TB SSD for $80. You shouldn't be able to find a 1 TB SSD for less than $350 at this point in time. if this is what you found for a hard drive I'd like to warn you it's not what you think it is. This is a SSHD, not a SSD. - SSHD stands for Solid State...

    Got Slimed!

    My friend has a 7.3 Excursion with a WVO system on it. When he shuts it off, the WVO system switches to diesel and keeps the truck running for 2 minutes so it flushes all the WVO out of the filters and engine. It also keeps WVO from getting back into the diesel tank. Does your system have...

    Centrifuge bypass oil filtering system.

    Could you have it drain to the dipstick tube, or is there too much flow?

    2001 Suburban Production Code

    Gentlemen- I have to replace the power steering gearbox on my Suburban. It's a 2001 K1500. There are four gearboxes to choose from depending on production code of the vehicle: AX, UT, LS or YK. I've looked on the driver's door and in the glove compartment. Can't find anything related to a...

    I noticed a vacuum line was broke

    I don't know what parts I used. I took the sensor and the 1/8" barb into Lowes with me so I made sure to get all the right sizes. I asked Bill Heath about using that hole, and he said there wouldn't be any ill effects. AFAIK, it's an air pressure sensor, so, as long as it's sealed up, it'll...

    I noticed a vacuum line was broke

    Instead of tapping my upper intake, I teed off the hole that houses the sensor that sticks out of the upper intake. You can see it really well at the end of this video. That'll save you from having to tap it. I got all the parts from Lowes.

    88GMCtruck's 98 Silverado Towpig Build: "Black Fox"

    That is super bad-ass! That chrome really pops against the black. I'm with Will; I'd hate to meet that truck in a dark alley.

    95 Yukon Rebuild Thread

    I always loosened mine with the wrench from underneath and then unthreaded it and removed the filter through the wheel well. Then start the threads from the same vantage point and tighten fully from underneath.

    What is a good WIFI router?

    That's not a terrible idea, especially with the way wireless data has advanced as of late. The only thing to watch out for is data caps and overage charges. Those can get nasty quick.

    What is a good WIFI router?

    Yeah, you need to get the WiFi attachment for that. But don't let it spin too fast or you'll get megabits EVERYWHERE!

    What is a good WIFI router?

    The 54 Mbps rating on your WRT54GS is a theoretical throughput you'll never see in real life. It assumes there is no other RF interference and perfect line of sight. Setting your laptop right next to a 54 Mbps router will only get you 30-40 Mbps on a good day. Once you add some distance and a...

    What is a good WIFI router?

    You'd be hard-pressed to find a better product than the Apple Airport Extreme. However, that's $200. For $100 you can get the Airport Express. Those are top of the line, and crazy fast over wireless. If you're not looking to spend that much, though, I stick with Buffalo, Linksys and Netgear...

    '94 4WD?

    Cool. Thanks for the info.

    '94 4WD?

    Never mind. I just saw they changed their ad since I read it yesterday. Disregard.

    '94 4WD?

    http://philadelphia.craigslist.org/ctd/4845390223.html I thought the '94 would have the 4WD actuator on the floor. Did this year have push-button?

    Trik / Trick Edition?

    I figured that was the case, but you guys know a lot more than I do. Never hurts to ask. Thanks, Ferm.

    Trik / Trick Edition?

    Anybody have any idea to what this might be referring? http://www.ebay.com/itm/1995-CHEVROLET-SUBURBAN-DIESEL-4X4-LT-TRICK-EDITION-/271733200904?_trksid=p2054897.l4275

    HO injectors vs Standard

    When I needed injectors, Heath told me that for towing or heavy loads, you shouldn't use HO injectors; it'll only increase EGT's with minimal power gain. I put HO in because my Burb was just a people-mover. I had a stock turbo with Heath's Turbo Master (my vac pump died) with a 4" DE exhaust...
