    Fuel Filter top on a 97PSD

    I made a couple of fuel filter cap tools for our VFD stations out of PVC pipe (2" or 2 1/2", IIRC). The pipe was ~12" long and into one end, I cut a series of slots that would fit over the tabs of the aftermarket (filter and cap all-in-one) filter cap and the other end had slots to fit the OEM...

    Good Sam vs. AAA?

    I thought so, but I'll have to give them a call and ask what the roadside service coverage costs.

    Just saw my first 2008 in person

    If the grille is painted the same color as the body, the '08 front end looks pretty damn good, but if it's in chrome and the body color is dark, it doesn't look nearly as good.

    Dead stereo?

    I just checked--there is power up to the plug that plugs into the back of the HU and the ground connection is good as well. I guess I'm in the new stereo market now...

    Good Sam vs. AAA?

    Since my warranty expired, I don't have Roadside Assistance or towing coverage anymore and that's not a comfort level I want to be on the road without. I've been reading about the Good Sam RV club, but the only (introductory) price of $19.95 I found on their website seems too good to be true...

    Dead stereo?

    The aftermarket (Kenwood KDCX-659) stereo in my truck just died today and I cannot figure out what might be wrong with it. I checked every fuse I could and all of them looked good. Next I pulled the stereo out of the dash and checked the 10A mini-fuse in the back of the head unit and there's...

    New computer..

    I used widgets as a generic term referring to features like Time Machine, et. al., not the MacOS-specific term. I'm still learing about Mac's--sorry...:doh:

    New computer..

    I'm waiting more for being able to get a Core2Duo processor as an OEM option than for 10.5, although 10.5 does look to have some neat widgets available. Yeah, yeah, I know I could buy a Mini now and swap processors for a Core2, but I don't feel like going through the hassle of taking a Mini...

    New computer..

    Any guesstimate when 10.5 will be released? I figure Apple probably wants to play around with Vista a little to see what Microsoft has fouled up and incorporate those fixes into 10.5 so they can say "If you're tired of messing around with the XYZ function in Vista, take a look at 10.5 and see...

    New computer..

    I'd love to get an iMac but they are a little pricey for me right now, especially given that I just bought a snazzy 21" widescreen HD LCD monitor 8 months ago. I checked what that model display is going for on Ebay and it doesn't make any sense for me to try selling it and then buying the iMac...

    New computer..

    Yep--I'm waiting until I can get OS 10.5 (yes, I know it hasn't been released yet) and a Core2Duo processor in a Mac Mini and then I'll pull the trigger on a new 'puter. My old machine is puttering along but it's not long for this world so I'll have to buy a new one sooner or later (probably...

    legal weight

    If you've got a SRW, it should be 20,000lbs minus whatever weight is on the axles (including pin weight of the trailer).

    What is the deal

    You are slightly wrong. Max GVWR is the maximum amount of weight you can legally have on both axles when you're fully loaded and includes the pin weight of whatever trailer you're hooked to. The rating is conservative (hell, even I've been over MaxGVWR a handful of times) but Ford's lawyers...

    Just installed new cab light lenses...

    You might think, but those photos don't show the ~60mph gusts we were having (don't know the exact figure, but the wind was blowing HARD all day)...

    Just installed new cab light lenses...

    Yep--although my checking account won't like it, I have a feeling some more lighting upgrades are on my to-do list. Since I have a 2K2, I don't have the lights ont he mirrors to worry about but I do like the look of the smoked LED brake light assembly so that might be next. My truck is red and...

    Good Rods?

    There isn't a firm cut-off date for when Navistar switched over to the PMR's, since they ran out of PMR's a couple times and had to switch back to using forged rods for a while until the PMR supply got restored. IIRC you'll be safe if you buy a 1999 or 2000, but sometime in the 2001 MY is where...

    Just installed new cab light lenses...

    Since most of my cab light lenses were leaking (lots o' condensation on the inside), plus b/c my truck was jealous of the "new truck smell" on me from when I rode in that '08 a couple weeks ago, I bought some smoked cab light lenses from RECON and just installed 'em today. It took all of 5...

    Tight engine compartment?

    It's VERY tight. When I got to take a peek at the 6.4 the local dealer had in last week, you couldn't really see the ground from the topside of the engine, things were so crammed in under the hood...:eek: :eek: :eek: It'll be really tough for the DIY guys to do anything major on that engine...

    Need a winch, suggestions?

    Depending on where you're located, the member N_P has a 15K-rated Ramsey winch for sale in the (go figure) "For Sale" section that you might be able to work a good deal on...

    New Dodge 4500 and 5500

    IIRC it's Aisen Sekai--not a brand I'm familiar with, but Dodge knows that they've got a lot riding on their Class IV/V venture (especially since they know that they're competing against the F450 and F550) and can't afford to put a complete heap-o-crap behind the Cummins. It's probably a good...
