    More turbo whistle??

    It would do better if it were after the compressor housing where the air gets heated by compression. I really doubt it makes much difference before the compressor and intercooler.

    NSA program...ruled unconstitutional

    I'm not real sure yet how to feel about this. The fact that I have nothing to hide is not reason to not object. I'm not running a drug house, but I don't advocate a warrantless search of my house. I'm not sure how much freedom should be sacrificed in the name of "fighting" terrorism. I agree...

    PreFuel filter fuel filter

    I also have a Dahl 100 w/ a 2 micron element in it pre-pump. I just changed it for the first time since install 8 mos. ago and my truck now runs quiet again. Also, check e-bay for the factory elements. I paid $26 plus tax/shipping for FOUR filters just last week.

    Any luck after the warranty runs out?

    I thought any parts/service performed carried a separate warranty. I can't remember how long but I was thinking 3/36. I could be wrong, but I would certainly ask. I would first ask that they extend the entire powertrain warranty.

    REAR WINDOW GUN RACK?

    Actually Texas makes no distinction between a Loaded and Unloaded firearm. In otherwords, if a firearm is anyway prohibitied, it is prohibited weather loaded or not. So feel free to keep your rifles loaded in the gun rack if you so please.

    chase in dallas

    The beauty of German Shepherds (and other dogs of their size and reputation) is that if they are seen, the mere site of them will deter most criminal types. See avatar.

    New Commissioner Positition

    Good luck man. LED's are great but can be kind of pricey. Hidden strobes in the taillights and headlights or turns signals. Just be clear on your state regulations as far a Emergency vehicles, lighting requirements and allowed use, etc.

    WeedEater/String Trimmer HELP

    I had an Echo stolen out of my truck early this season. So I shopped around and found I could save around $40 if I bought a Cub Cadet at Tractor Supply. Well, I bought it and as of yesterday Tractor Supply bought it back. I promptly went to Home Depot and bought the Echo I should have bought...

    AC Mod

    The valve I used is from Murray Climate Control #74809 and was for a Ford Ranger. I think I got it at O'Reilly's or maybe Autozone. You'll need vacuum line and a T also if I recall.

    Dallas public schools

    Come on now Bill. You are telling me that those 15% were paying attention in class, studying on there own, and doing homework and that the reason that they failed to pass the TAKS test was purely the school district or teachers fault. If that were the case I believe that far more than 15% would...

    Dallas public schools

    Well, I'm gonna echo everyone else. Go to the suburbs. Are there goos schools and teachers in DISD? Yes. But I stay as far away from DISD and the City of Dallas as possible. It is too much of a crap shoot. My wife teaches in Garland and loves it there. There are many good suburb districts to...
