    LCD TV

    I think a lot of the comparison only matters if you have 2 TVs next to each other, without that you are likely to be able to tell. I have a Vizio 32" that looks awesome with the VGA out of my laptop. Not great with SD Dish but SD Dish is junk anyway. Right now much of it seems to be how they...

    LCD TV

    Well I went to Circuit City today and see why you guys like Samsungs. Nice TV. Especially with the 120 Hz. refresh. They had a demo where half the screen was on and half off and there was quite a difference still not sure how legitimate that test was though. The kid at the store the the...

    LCD TV

    Yeah I saw the beginning of that one but it is pretty much Samsung. The Toshiba had a little better review on Amazon so I wanted to get some input on them as well.

    Satellite TV Service Purchase......Need Input

    My parents went to DirecTV and I have Dish, we both like the Dish interface much better. Picture quality sucks on both. The compress the living crap out of it so they can get 4 million channels many of which will never be watched. I wish they would wise up and dump some of the PPV channels...

    Solar Energy Systems arrive in Home Depot

    We have had them in the HDs around here for at least 6 months and probably a year or more. The break-even period was as low as 3-4 years when done properly with all of the tax credits we HAD. Now I think it is back out a ways. Sounds like FL still has quite a few credits letting you pay off...

    $$$ White Milk & Chocolate Milk $$$

    The "humans are the only animal that drinks milk into adulthood" argument is worthless and false. My cats would love to drink milk everyday, so would the dog. How do you expect them to milk a cow in nature? Nothing else drinks it because nothing else can. It is that easy. There are signs in...

    California rain/snow storm

    It was a bit wet and messy today. I think our power is still out but we are running on the generator. Had quite a few big trees break across the road. No problems at home here though. It would be good to get the lakes filled up again. In town there were tons of intersections out or on flash...

    2000 F550 Cold Start

    Cold fuel gelling in the bowl until heater warms it?

    Long Starts

    I pretty much only fill it with Chevron and I use Marvel Mystery Oil in the fuel most of the time. I just took it into town and a couple of times it started right up. A couple of times it took longer but less than 3 seconds I would say. The oil was down to the fill line so I filled it up...

    Running like its cold but I know its not?

    I am going with a bad go pedal. Are you getting an SES light?

    Long Starts

    I have an Autoenginuity but I have not used it in awhile and need to get a new code for it. I will have to do that tomorrow. Checked fuel pressure and it appears to be around 60 psi (I can't find the card that translates resistance to pressure) but it drops to zero as soon as the pump shuts off.

    Long Starts

    I just drove it to the hardware store and when I got out after about 5 minutes it still took forever to start. But if I just shut it off and start it it starts right up. I would think if it was GPs it would have started right up when it was warm.

    Long Starts

    Reservoir was to the top of the body about 1" from the top of the threads. Just for laughs I filled it up further to see if it would make a difference. Seemed to take even longer to start and it was 45 degrees out. Fair cloud of smoke. Started with a "rah room". I am suspecting GP...

    STARTING PROBLEM

    What year? What temp is it outside? I assume cold, glowplugs working? HAve you tried plugging it in?

    Long Starts

    My current meter says 138A at the battery with the key on. I guess it is supposed to be over 160A just for the GPs but I am not sure my meter is correct, it has been giving some suspicious readings. Just started it again and it was not a ton of grey smoke just a bit. My BIL had bad GPs and it...

    It turns over about as fast as it always has. No big romp romp but it does have a cloud of grey smoke.

    Long Starts

    I have noticed my truck is taking longer and longer to start. Today it took way to long, 4 or 5 seconds. It has ~156k on it with the original glow plugs. I have not replaced them because I have the CA model with glowplug controller and I thought it was supposed to give you a SES light if any...

    Down with winter fuel.

    I am with you on American made. My dad was just asking where he could get an American made toaster. He is stuck with the cheap crap that breaks right away. Not cheap when you have to buy ten. Whenever I see cheap Chinese stuff (crafts, stuffed animals, etc.) I wonder what must be going...

    Wives support

    The only time my wife is not #1 when is when she has a ligitimate concern such as "you do realize we have $750 medical bill right?" She never asks stupid questions like "don't you have enough tools/guns/ammo?"

    changing times

    To make it worse, now they think what happened on some stupid TV show is news. I don't give a rats ***** aabout who got booted from American idol and if I did I would watch the piece of $#!t.

    Out of the Powerstroke Business (a rant)

    My TDI got 46 on the windy hill sup here and I managed 52 going to the Bay and that was not babying it at all. I have been seen quite a few of them for sale for some reason. Tires are ridiculous for everything, just put new rubber on the Pilot and they were $100/each and that was after a lot...

    Chrysler's "Revamping"

    From what I can tell the quality fo the Japanese stuff is coming down as well. I just rode in a relatively new Titan yesterday and talk about plastic. As far as reducing models why do they waste their time with other models for Europe? The UK obviously needs something different but I would...
