    Deer attractant

    Get some of that clover seed stuff that you throw out in a patch. You'd have to wait until spring to start that up. Works pretty good once they know its there. Did that out in Oklahoma but the deer couldn't get to it because the cows liked it too.

    tranny fluid and carpet

    I kind of toyed around with that idea too. Just remember to take a 30-30 and put a few rounds through the floorboard so that water has a place to drain out when you hose out the inside.:D A drill wouldn't be as fun. Just remember that hole placement is important. You aren't trying to drain...

    Best prank you've pulled...

    There isn't much to do at sea but sit around and thing of ways to mess with other people. We decided that right before drills that day, we would go through berthing and staple the legs of everyones poopy suits (coveralls) shut. Once the drills were about the start we found a good spot and...

    Christmas carols

    Jingle bells, Batman smells, Robin laid an egg, Batmobile lost a wheel, and Joker got away! The batmobile must have been a dodge.

    MERRY CHRISTMAS

    Merry Christmas from Hawaii, ya'll. Santa won't be bringing me any toys for my PSD this year. I got some intel that he is going to leave some cash behind at home with the parent units so that when I get back stateside I get get started on the exhaust and intake. Can't hardly wait!:wave

    Question about glow plugs

    That's what I figured too. It took a few times to get into the habbit of waiting when I got mine. I just thought to myself, after I forgot the first time, about what they are there for and determined that there was no negative impact. It was kind of funny when I jumped into a gasser and took...

    Stay the night!!

    Spending the night at work is the worst. I've done it for six moths at a time. The worst is when you are sound asleep and the alarms go off because somebody decided we should run a fire drill. Yay, lets all put on some firefighing suits and run into the 110F engineroom and point the fire hose...

    Quick question

    Oh, buy the way; I used a Dewalt cordless drill with a fresh battery and a cobalt drill bit. It didn't go through the manifold really fast but it definately didn't have a problem getting through. I used that multi purpose oil on the bit and tap and backed out the tap and cleaned it off...

    Quick question

    WOOOOOOHOOOOOO! Everything is done and works just fine. I wired up the lights just like in the pictures and they lit up. Imagine that. Once I got power to the pyro and the trans temp, they worked just fine. Didn't have any problems with those. Then the fun. Its was about 9:00 PM and was...

    Quick question

    Thanks a million Ironmerganser. I was about to get on here freaking out because my lights wouldn't light up very bright at all. After looking at those pics and instructions I'm going to give it another go. I wish I would have seen that before. Don't know if any of the gauges work yet because...

    Quick question

    I haven't even begun to look into hooking up the boost yet. I was working until two in the morning on what I had done and had to quit so that I could get SOME sleep before work. After reading this I do remember seeing some grommit like what you are talking about. I just don't remember what...

    Quick question

    Thanks for the input. I'm going to crawl around in there Saturday and check things out and see what looks like the best idea. I'll be sure to take lots of pictures too so that others can see some examples. That or see what not to do. By the way, would it be a better idea to tap the hole by...

    Quick question

    I think it all makes sense. Hopefully I'll be able to find the "vrake" pedal.:laugh I'll be digging around there this weekend. Probably won't get started until next Sunday though. Busy week and all. Submariners never get a break.:cussing:

    Quick question

    As it turns out, my gauges (that got here today) don't work too well in the box. I'm finishing up learning about the install and just have one question...for now. I've got boost, EGT and trans...Where do I poke all of these through the firewall? Is there a spot already there or do I have to...

    Redneck Christmas Gifts

    Gift cards for Wal-Mart. I wish I had a picture of the look on my brother's, sister's and my face when we opened those. I don't really know what reaction my mom was expecting. :snowed

    Training, the Navy can't live without it.

    Something was said in training today that I just have to share. I hope that its not too nerdy that some of you don't get it or I lose a little street credit. Basides, after all of this build up for it I hope its not a let down. Anyway, I can't discuss the topic but the discussion of the...

    What was your very FIRST car?

    When I was a senior in high school my parents hooked me up with a 1991 Ford Areostar minivan.

    Cold Heat

    You were using 60/40 solder and not 95/5. The later is for plumming and you have to use a blowtorch. Those don't run on cold heat.:sweet Hot heat is all you can getwith those. This is what we use at work but I think its overkill for anything other than my job. It has a foot pedal...

    Gauges on the way.

    I got the Autometer Ultralights. EGT, tranny and boost. After looking at a bunch of different brands the decision came down to cosmetics and I think the Autometer ones look the best.

    Gauges on the way.

    I just ordered my gauges. I guess I worry too much about my truck and got fed up with not knowing what my EGT is before I shut it down. I've heard it doesn't take long to cool down but in a week or two I'll know for sure. So stand by as I'm sure this will not go smoothly and I'll need some...

    I signed up on the Ford owners webpage. If you enter your VIN# you can access a pdf file for the manual associated with that VIN#.

    Phantom Smoke...

    I've been keeping an eye on it and haven't seen it again. I just swing the side mirror down at the pipe to check it out.

    Phantom Smoke...

    I saw some white/grey smoke between my truck and a car at a stop light this afternoon. Not sure if it was from mine because I never saw it again and when I let the truck idle when I got home it didn't see it there either. I thought that maybe it did it because the engine was cold and once it...

    funeral flag etiquette ? for military guys

    Its good to be reminded of what is behind doing colors in the morning and the evening and what all of the folds mean. Mostly we get caught up in arguing over who is going to do it rather than what it stands for. Sometimes the five minute warning means to some that you have five minutes to get...
