    10 k Mod

    Supposedly it can cause high EGTs. I don't think you should waste your time. I tried it on my truck and could hardly tell a difference.

    Kidney stones?

    Not sure about the pain and child birth. My wife had had quite a few before my son was born so I thought she would sail right through it. NOT!! She was much more "uncomfortable" during birth than I have seen her with a stone and she had a spinal. That is not to say it was the same kind of...

    Kidney stones?

    My wife has chronic kidney stones, she passes them all of the time. Nothing seems to help her pass them. My dad has had them as well and he believes Meadowsweet (an herb) helped him get rid of his. It is supposed to wear the stone down somehow. He says now when he feels like he has a stone...

    Front Wheel Bearings

    Unitized bearings is one thing, unitized $350 hubs is another. I would not have a problem with it if they made the hub rebuildable but throwing away the spindle and everything is just stupid. My Accord has sealed unit bearings and they were $45 if I remember right because it was just the bearing.

    Front Wheel Bearings

    146k on the clock. I found Timken bearings at Autozone for $334 and they are supposed to give me a 10% discount so that is not too bad I guess. I would still like to do the Dynatrac conversion so I don't have to be suprised like this in the future. The Ford engineer that came up with this...

    front end rattle?

    It is a rattle and not a grind or whine? My drivers side front wheel was making funny noises now and then but checked out okay. Today I got to spend $210 to have it towed home for a toasted bearing. It was making a horrendous grinding noise.

    Front Wheel Bearings

    My truck ate the front wheel bearing today while I was out. Now after $210 tow truck bill it is back home and I am wondering where is the best place to get a replacement bearing? Napa wants to sell the whole hub and it is over $400. Is that the only way to go?

    The math does not add up....

    I thought it was closer to 90k. Seemed to me from browsing the Cat site that that a DX weighs X x 10k pounds so a D4 is 40k, and a D11 is 110k.

    This is murder!

    Clear out the morons. You need water to live, if someone wants to test otherwise the can find out the hard way that they are a moron.

    Is there a plumber in the house?

    It is probably a combination of the crappy switch and where it is plumbed. If the pressure switch is plumbed so that it is straight through the T and the pressure tank is off the bottom of the T I would bet that there is a pressure spike at the switch when the pump turns on which was high...

    Great fuel mileage...

    With a Powerstroke? I think you must have something wrong. That is a bit low even for "spirited" driving.

    Virginia Tech Shooting............

    The guns are bad enough but I also hear them whining that the school was too open. I sounds like if they get their way every school will be surrounded by barbed wire fence and have metal detectors so they can feel safe. REally the fence will just be a cage to hold them all in when someone with...

    2 Stroke oil as a diesel additive???

    Yeah, I notice Chevron got rid of their DieselMotive additive and replaced it with two other cleaners that have questionable lubricating ability. I have been and will probably continue to use Marvel Mystery Oil for lubricant.

    Need your advice/help/whatever

    If you are in a corporation I wold assume you have an HR department. Go to them with this. Your manager has been severely negligent in his duties and I am sure they will handle him accordingly. I have gone to HR where I work and they took care of the problem quite nicely.

    WATCH-OUT !!! there might be

    I do not agree with the government forcing private business to ban smoking. If there is a need the money will talk. I must say agree with banning it in National Parks and beaches though. Not only is the smoke annoying when you are trying to be in nature, it poses a risk of forest fire, and...

    Hummmm, a "new" drug in the area

    If adults want to do this kind of crap and kill themselves I am totally fine with it. I hear how many it is killing and think "that many less morons in the world." But when the scumbag drug dealers give it to kids that are to young to know better it burns my bacon. I sure hope I can keep my...

    Iran seizes British Navy Boats...........

    One more reason Reagan was THE MAN. 10 days from bombing with only 2 people killed to major military response. What do we get out of weak knee Bush? Nothing even close. I don't care whose water they were in, they should be instructed to release them NOW! I have had about enough noise out...

    Got me some new artillery

    I really like those Rugers as well, I wish they made them in .3XX Ultra Mag. I looked at them real close when I bought my 30-06 but ended up getting a Remington 700. For quick follow up shots I just picked up two M1 Garands, one Springfield mixmaster and a correct H&R. I really love Garands...

    My new hardware...

    Screws? Have them drill through and put a bolt and nut in, it will hold better. Maybe a little JB Weld as ta boot.

    Hey Robert........

    I got a bottle of GlenLivet Nadura with a Bevmo gift card I got for Christmas. 57.2% - Good stuff. Turkey 101 is good also. I have had most of the main bourbons and now pretty much stick with Turkey 101, Maker's Mark, Know Creek, and GlenLivet. There are better bourbon's such as Basil...

    Enough to ruin your day!!

    My dad told me you could not weld cast iron so I decided to try on an old frying pan that had a crack. I welded it up real nice and pretty and went to go tell him he was wrong when I hear "TINK". It cracked, dad was right again. How long are those parts on the plow? For $300 I would buy a...

    homework help ASAP!

    That or a good professor I had a not so good professor for Calc II that insisted it was hard and it was. I had an AWESOME professor for Calc III that insisted it was is and it was. Diff-eq was pretty easy anyhow, mostly algebra.

    Haircuts in Dallas

    I do the same, the clippers have paid for themselves a few times. Also, I can just jump in the shower and don't have to deal with the little hair pieces that get down your shirt and itch. I use the "1" on the sides and a "2" on the top. Pretty short, don't want to be accused of being a hippy.
