    Radio

    You will need the radio to be reprogrammed it will not work - the radio is married to the truck's VIN - reprogramming will clear it.

    cluster going wacko

    same thing I saw - but back to normal now - it's done it a couple times now. Curious if it's covered too or just the Speedo and Fuel gauge stepper motors.

    cluster going wacko

    Does anyone know if this is just Spedo and Fuel Gauge or if it applies to other gauges not working right? I thought it was any gauge but when I called the local dealer the service dept said only Speedo / Fuel Gauge. My oil gauge is acting up - not a biggie - not big enough to warrant pulling...

    Win 7

    I loaded the 32 bit version - ran fine and loaded fast as a dual boot - didn't have any problems even on the RAId 5 partition - it found and loaded the driver on my flash drive. I like it so far - though I don't think there's enough in there to make me want to upgrade from XP64 - the only...

    Installing XP Painlessly?

    You can create a new partition on your HD and install XP on that partition but you will need to down load all the drivers from Sony to a disc and insert that when you are asked by the XP installation process for the drivers. Then move all your data files over to the new HD partition (make sure...

    Preferred choice of oil

    Switched to Mobil 1 5W40 for my last change - easy to find (NAPA had it) and really not that much of a price difference compared to dino oil. The main reason I switched was for cold weather starts. Figured it might help with fuel economy on short trips which I do quite a bit of - but still...

    Boat buying advice

    Get something year 2000 or newer - most boats this vintage will not have any wood in the hull / transom. Test drive and make sure it runs well up to WOT for an extended period and has good water pressure. Take it to a respected shop to have them look it over and don't forget you need a...

    I got pop ups. I dont want pop ups...

    If you have Windows XP, do a system restore - it's on the start menu under All Programs > Accessories > System Tools. Tell it to restore the computer to an earlier date, pick a date prior to when you first noticed the problems. If that doesn't work, Down Load Spybot and Adaware 2008 - both are...

    Need some advice on two wheels...

    Chrome pieces are actually a lot cheaper - and you may not have to replace them anyway - they are less likely to have get noticable scratches.

    Need some advice on two wheels...

    don't get a bike with a full fairing - it will likely get dropped and it's expensive to replace - you're not going to get much for a grand, closer to 2 grand for a decent bike. I just sold my old 1990 ZX7 for $2000 and it needed tires but was otherwise in good condition. A mid 80s 750 Honda or...
