    Cold weather battery blues

    So it's 18* outside, the truck has been sitting since I parked it last night. I need to go to a meeting at the Red Cross so I plugged in the block heater two hours before and... it won't crank fast enough to catch. This has been an ongoing problem for the last month or so and I'm tired of it...

    What are your biggest pet peeves when it comes to other motorists?

    Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Try forcing someone to the side of the road in this area and there's a real good chance you'll find yourself on the wrong end of an HK in the hands of a truly pissed off Diplomatic Protective Services officer, or any of a couple of dozen other heavy hitting...

    What are your biggest pet peeves when it comes to other motorists?

    Pretty sure that would be considered aggressive driving in most states, not to mention that if you try it on the wrong person it could be perceived as a kidnap/hijack attempt. That might get you a very unexpected surprise involving large expenditures of ammunition. This message was brought to...

    Getting code 36.

    I just went through the technical library and I'm just not seeing that list of codes. Could you help me out with a link to it?

    What are your biggest pet peeves when it comes to other motorists?

    Would you rather have them out there on the roads trying to merge, or parked safely out of the way somewhere? :D

    Pet goat from El Paso, TX to Hampton, Iowa

    A group of us on another forum are all friends of both people, so we're taking up a collection to cover the cost. So far I have pledges for about $200 with more that haven't pledged a specific amount.

    Pet goat from El Paso, TX to Hampton, Iowa

    Great idea, but goats aren't allowed on any US carrier. Sent via the squirrel underground.

    Pet goat from El Paso, TX to Hampton, Iowa

    It's a long story but I have an old Navy buddy and fellow ham radio operator who lives in Iowa and has a friend in Texas. The friend in Texas has a farm with a lot of goats and when the buddy in Iowa visited the farm he got very attached to one of the goats as a pet. Well, the friend down in...

    Diagnosing dual tank balance module

    Good gawd, I'd completely forgotten about this thread! Well, just to update y'all, I never did find a solution to my problem, and I tried everything I could think of, including looking at the signal going to the PCM with a scope. I also found out that this has been a problem on this truck...

    CDR reuse?

    Why would you use brake cleaner on it instead of carb cleaner in the first place? Sent using secret methods known only to squirrels. And selected hamsters.

    CDR reuse?

    Okay, it's that time again, time to replace the CDR on my truck, and it really bugs me how expensive these suckers are getting. Hell, it's not much more than some stamped sheet metal and a spring, so why to they list for $90+ and sell in the $40-$55 range? Anyway, this got me to wondering a...

    Radiator Drain on '99 GMC C3500 6.5l

    I did top it off before going home. I always carry a gallon of Rotella on the truck for just such occasions. The cause turned out to be twofold: a front main bearing seal that suddenly decided to sling oil for no particular reason (seal looked absolutely perfect once we got it off -and the...

    Poll Idea's

    Amish Mafia?? Please tell me you're joking... I knew there was a good reason why I don't watch TV. Sent using secret methods known only to squirrels. And selected hamsters.

    Radiator Drain on '99 GMC C3500 6.5l

    Some folks have good luck with it, but I'm one of those guys who doesn't like to do chores any more often than he needs to. The stuff I'm putting in is supposed to be good for 600k. Oh, and just because it's one of those days... I had to take my truck on a fast trip to the store, about a mile...

    Radiator Drain on '99 GMC C3500 6.5l

    No joy... I've been at this since about 1 o'clock and I still can't get that damn plug out. To start with, could GM have put it in a more inaccessible position? You can't reach it (or even see it) from below or from the wheel well, and trying to get at it from the top means trying to hold the...

    Radiator Drain on '99 GMC C3500 6.5l

    Yeah, but how are you turning it? The way it's designed it's like an anti-tamper screw, only goes in and you can't back it out because the "ramps" on it cam the tool back out.
