    TDC or TBC fail?

    Batteries or charging system are going south. The wife's van is exhibiting the same problems. We replaced the batteries and the positive clamps, but I still have an idiot light, but the voltage meter does move. Meanwhile on my pickup, I get no trailer brakes. Fun fun fun. I'm so happy about...

    Grand Kid, "HELLLP"

    You forgot the best part, Robert! By spoiling the grandkids rotten you finally get REVENGE for all of the BS the daughter or son that made you a grandfather put you through during their teen years. Like Tail Gunner said earlier. My son told me when he was younger that he thought I didn't know...

    Bill Gates gets richer and richer...

    X2. We have SEVEN Macs in our stable of 'puters. Three of the Macs will run XP or Vista. We only have three Windows boxes. Right now I am composing this message on one of my older Mac desktop computers and burning a DVD for the wife on my MacBook. My oldest Mac is nearly nine years old and STILL...

    "See? We PROVE to you that you don't need a big SUV or diesel pickup to tow a trailer! The Renault does the job quite well!" What wankers!:D

    Alliance Against Urban 4x4s

    1. I used one of my many throwaway e-mail addresses. 2. My mail client is already set to send any e-mail they send me right back as bounced mail. If they start sending me nasty grams, what do I care. I don't live in the UK, nor WOULD I move there. I loved to visit, but there was a reason my...

    "Science Support Vehicles" - Now that's a Van!

    Don't show this to my wife. She will want one, and have me make a dog grooming van out of it. We could get the swamp critter market with the right mudders...:lmao BTW, THIS is the wife's grooming van, along with the wife:

    Alliance Against Urban 4x4s

    They had an e-mail link. I sent them a picture of my truck and told them I drive it daily in the U.S.A just to PI$$ them off!:D

    You're charitable. I would shove their "POOR VEHICLE CHOICE" ticket in another orifice below and on the opposite side. And I wouldn't fold it first.

I found this company with a simple Google search Some of the sponsors of this forum also sell power lock kits.You could probably do all four doors for about $125 in parts and a...

    Big Long Bed I Guess

    A big steaming pot of gumbo? I'll drive to NOLA for an excellent gumbo. Thankfully though, I can get gumbo here. Lulu's in Gulf Shores, AL makes some great gumbo using the secret Buffett family receipe (as in Jimmy Buffett, Lucille Buffett's songwriter brother)

    Hey, a lot of Yankees say the same things about Southern cuisine. I've eaten "Southern" or "soul" food all my life and I'm still here. My recently diagnosed heart problems were not caused by anything I ate. Just lousy genetics. Now there are some things that grace Northern tables you wouldn't...

    Changed fuel filter, now no fuel to engine

    It's FIXED! :D Many thanks to all who gave me some good advice. Now I am out of the "doghouse". Rule number 1: "Never mess with the wife's van unless you can fix it that day." Rule number 2: "If you do make the van inoperable, send an SOS to the folks on SuperDutyDiesel.com." Everyone...

    Question VGT-Hybrid and Stock Sticks for Towing

    Better to be IN the hole than to be called a hole. Of course, I consider myself to be the southern end of a northbound horse, and do not consider my day complete unless I have P.O.ed at least two people....:sly

    Changed fuel filter, now no fuel to engine

    Went to the dealership this afternoon, glad I did. There was a change in the FCM mid year, I have the earlier design with a built-in water sensor in the cap. The newer design is the same cap that is on the pickup's HFCM. The dealer is getting a replacement cap in overnight, even with the...

    Changed fuel filter, now no fuel to engine

    Not a 7.3, but a 6.0. Unlike the fuel conditioning modules in our pickups, this one is mounted vertically. All I get is a drip. I've tried cycling the pump several times, no luck in getting the filter saturated. I put the old filter back in, it had fuel in the filter material, but still no fuel...

    Changed fuel filter, now no fuel to engine

    Big problem with the wife's grooming truck. I changed the oil filter and oil, no problem, good pressure and the engine worked fine. I changed the primary fuel filter, the previous owner obviously did not use the proper tool to remove the cap. The hex on the cap, being plastic, is deformed and...

    New antenna, Ham it up!!

    You are not ignorant, just uninformed. There is a difference. Depending upon your license class, you can talk worldwide with just 100 watts of power, if you are using high frequency. But you will need a General or Extra class license to have those privileges. VHF and UHF, which the...
