    DVD ROM drive

    Replacing the drive with a new one is super cheap and really easy You can get a DVD RW for about 30 bucks and installation is 4 small machine screws and 2 cables. There is no magic or mystery about it

    Where are you guys running your block heater cord on the NBS Chevy's?

    That's how I have mine, too. Sits on the wiper valance and does not hurt anything, plus it's impossible to forget and drive away as I can see it out the windshield

    Outlook issue

    There is an issue with Outlook. If your mailbox file, which is a file with the suffix .pst is 2 GB in size or larger, all manner of bad things can happen. 2 GB is pretty huge, but if you use Outlook heavily on a daily basis, you can easily get a mailbox file that large. I have to archive...

    Sulastic Shackles > Info & User Feedback

    I am very interested in these things, but I read a couple of things on their web site that kind of scare me. First off, they say you should replace the bushings every 3 years?? What's that about? That means that every 3 years, you gotta basically take 'em off and put 'em on The 2nd thing...

    How many miles are on your origional brakes?

    Be careful if you switch out to a DOT 5... I changed out my Mustang to the 5 and did not flush the lines or calipers. The stuff congealed with my original DOT 3 that was in there from the factory and I ended up re-building 4 calipers and flushing the whole damn thing out PITA

    So, why aint you people using Firefox?

    Chrome is still a beta release. Personally, I would not try it on a "mission critical" box until final release version comes out

    So, why aint you people using Firefox?

    OK, I'm going to go all geek on you, here. Firefox follows to the letter the web page rendering protocols and standards as set by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). IE does NOT follow the standards to the letter. There are some web pages written by webmasters to specifically take...

    Air Filter Numbers

    I actually remember reading on the other site that the white ones were the newer and better ones. My '08 came with white, and the replacements I have purchased have been white

    LMM Gas Mileage

    OK, best possible conditions; I had a slight tailwind (very slight), filled 'er up, sat down and drove 613 miles without stopping and I got 20.1 mpg on the DIC. That was with about a thousand pounds of gear, AND my ladders and rack, which are like giant sails. I think that if I had no...

    UOA results

    Thanks for all the replys, guys. I haven't been on for awhile... Ark, that's the kind of feed back I was hoping to hear. I am cutting my next interval to 4k, which is NOW, and will send another sample to Blackstone. BTW, poster who referenced copper eating the TBN, I had them check it...

    UOA results

    I'm sure it's similar to what Amzoil does. The company I used is Blackstone Labs

    UOA results

    According to Blackstone, it could be part of the break in process for the duramax, and might be normal, but I wont know for a couple more oil changes. THey told me they expect the numbers to drop significantly in the next changes

    UOA results

    And I am bummin... 9800 miles on the oil and 10300 on the truck. Sent it in to Blackstone labs for my first ever UOA, and I can't believe how high the copper was in the test results. 437 PPM, and normal according to Blackstone is 10. I freaked... So, I called Blackstone and spent about...

    ECM Reprogram

    Apparently, GM changed the operating system for our PCM's and some programmers will not work

    ECM Reprogram

    I think he's talking about the recall... I heard that the Quad will still work after the reprogram, but other programmers seem to be having problems

    I want to go to synthetics now...

    Actually, Farm & fleet is where I buy it too. They had it back in November when I bought my truck, and there's still no one else carrying it. I'm not holding my breath. Just gotta make a trip to Montgomery twice a year...

    I want to go to synthetics now...

    Agreed with above... Mobil 1 is good stuff, and the gear oil is available everywhere. Now, the Delvac 1 engine oil, thats a little harder to find

    Head gasket or EGR cooler?

    Or go with a coolant dye. They work wonders at finding small leaks

    Do you feel your suspension load/unload at a light?

    THat used to be a BIG problem on late '90's Fords. Problem was driveshaft spline binding up and not sliding smoothly as suspension moves up and down. The fix was to pack the splines with this funky blue teflon grease, and it worked. If you don't think what you are feeling is normal, try...
