General Conversations

After riding in 2 vehicles with air conditioned seats, I decided I needed to have one. Mustangs starting in 2015 and up have them you say? My search began, only requirements I had was the seats and a V8. Some how my wife was on board with driving 4 hours up to Kennewick WA. to look at this 2015 triple yellow GT with only 5k miles. It’s in as ordered condition and still smells new. The only problem with the car is it still has the original tires. That will be rectified shortly. I did trade in my 2006 GT, gonna miss all the attention it used to get.

Well, pretty sure my truck ate it's last injection pump. Left me stranded in my home town. Parked it at my dads house so it's safe, but I'm done with the vp44. And the truck in general. I hated the tan interior on it, and the fact I couldn't find anything other than dash parts for it. I have a lock on an 86 square body with a junk 350 and axles. As soon as I can get that pile of crap dodge back home, it's getting ripped apart, and parts are going on that Chevy, minus the electric crap. I'm so over the wires and stuff, just want to p-pump it and never have to worry about it again. And having a truck which I can pretty much build out of a magazine. I always want…

Looks like your right in the center of her predicted path even though she usually always stays away from 'Deplorables'.

Anyone in the Boise area wants to meet up with me? I'm staying in Parma at a friend's place with my RV. Even got Thor all loaded up with tools and willing to meet up with other forum members. I'm down in the southwest Idaho doing Cummins work. I've got a return of a client with a 98 12V Cummins. Yeah there is a total of 4.8A draw on this truck and it's in several circuits. Instrument cluster, PCM, trailer brake controller, hazards, and integrated module (similar to the central timer). Already got the 35 inch tires off for 285s. Replaced the wasted front rotors and brake pads. I've got the A/C working and vacuum lone issues fixed…

Want to know what you all think since I have a truck camper that overhangs out the back, plus folding steps putting it out even further Then the swing out bracket required another 8 inches of clearance to swing around the corner. So 48 inches is to the center of the fat tire rack. Bike weights 57 lbs w/o the battery and the swing bracket and rack weight around 100 lbs. So only 160 pounds but, it's out there 4 feet!. Do I have a serious situation and is there a special brace I can get on there to rectify the issue? Thanks in advance.

Finally I had a fuel pressure sensor fail on my ISSPro EV2. On my trip to observe my fuel pressure got irratic and then started to climb. I got off the I84 and pulled in a truck stop. Shut down. Key back on and the needle swept to zero then back to 25 PSI. Airdog was not running should be zero pressure. Pulled the sensor lead and turned the key on again then the gauge swept to zero and then back to straight down this is a sign of missing sensor. Ok. So I know I've got a bad sensor. On my way over to Parma ID I called @dieselautopower and ordered me a new fuel pressure sensor. I'll post more on the diagnostics when I get home.

Oregon wants you to get the attorney and go thru at least a month long process doing a legal eviction. That's BS because it only gives the squatter a license to steal everything and sell it at a pawn shop. Even if you come home to find most of your things already sold you know your going to have to pay for hotel rooms and when they finally open your safe getting tittles to your vehicles, your guns, whatever else is in there. You see it's just a stupid law because your home is your castle. I am just wondering what thoughts and ideas you have about this and what to do if they change the locks and draw up a phony rental agreement? This recently happen…

Here is why I don't like wide oversized tires on any vehicle. Take notice this Chevy truck loses the entire brake rotor as well. People don't realize the stresses that oversized tires do to steering and suspension as well as wheel bearings. This is more common than you think... Consider the legal side after this accident just because someone wants their truck look cool...

Hey gang, I know a lot of you know that I'm a diesel technician as well a Computer Technician. If there is anyone that would like to have my services I'm more than willing to aid you in converting away from Microsoft Products and getting you set up with one of the many versions of Linux. For my PCs here at home I use Ubuntu 22.04 LTS Linux. Very stable and still after all these years no virus issues, no malware, etc. A clean system that isn't resource hungry like any Microsoft version. I would suggest any newbie that wishes to join the Linux family I would highly suggest Ubuntu Linux. Software is plentiful and external devices like Printers can b…

Hey gang, I'm going to be doing Live TikTok in the evenings. I'm going to try and hit the air around 5 pm in the evenings. Grab your mobile device and fire up your TikTok app and check for my Live channel @mopar1973man. I Had a good run last night and @Doubletrouble was hanging out and helping out by feeding me ideas of topics to talk about. Coome check it out and chat with me.

I know some of our members are knowledgeable and/or professionals with heavy equipment so I’ll see if anybody has any suggestions or ideas on how to fix this. I have a late 2004 Toro Dingo TX425. I pretty much just use it sparingly around the house, so it has a pretty easy life and isn’t used often. 2 years ago I was using it and the left side track slipped off. The lugs were beat up so I just bought a new track and kept going. About 2 hours of use with the new track and it slipped off too. I reread the track tensioning procedure and tried again. It worked for a few more hours and slipped off again. I’ve tried increasing tension with the same results. I inspected every co…

I took a day with @Honey Badger and headed to Cascade ID to the four corners area to pick mushrooms. We did good in 4 hours picked about 9 pounds. Steak and mushrooms on the menu.

I know they're irritating, but I can't help myself. My best friend has a 14 Ram diesel. This is going to get zip tied into his grill. I sprayed it to be more Ninja....🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 Harmonica at speed should drive him nuts......

So, On TikTok, there are several people that just lost their trucks to fires. There is a feeling that something is being added to the fuel to create said fires. First off it's not possible. You don't hear of diesel tractor-trailers having fire issues or farm tractors having fires. Yes, I know red dye and on-road fuel are from the same source just one has red dye added to the fuel. It is very possible these younger pups are making mistakes with their ground lighting, rock lights, etc and not properly fusing or properly wiring up accessories even stereo amps, and head units. Yeah, there were several trucks posted up on TikTok burning down. Ford, Ch…

Hey Gang, I finally got the Starlink Internet fired up. Oh my Gawd this is so much better and it will be 5 dollars less for my Internet a month. Comparing Ziply Fiber which I'm provision for 18Mbit down and 1Mbit Up. Now with Starlink, I'm at 150Mbit Down and 20 Mbit Up. way way faster than Ziply Fiber. The only small snag is that Starlink does not have any Ethernet Port for cable connection only WiFi. So I did a search and found an adapter that allows me to patch between the satellite lead and the router and produce an ethernet port. Now I also ordered a Managed Workgroup Switch that is 24 Port PoE+ (Power on Ethernet) so I can plug in cameras, sign boards et…

Yeah I'm in Idaho again. When we were picked up from the Airport we went to pick up a track hoe and hauled it home. We already tore down my cinder block wall and rebuiltit with rock. That project is done. Now I'm building a RV spot out back with full hook ups. This is still in progress. I finally got my WiFi heads for both house and got them temporarily hooked up. Really nice to be on a call and not drop walking between buildings. I've got to hook up my two cameras for the property. Still have setup the software yet too. Funny part i dont have to be home and can check my network and Starlink from anywhere with m…

WHOOO HOOOOO finally did it and bought a Bridgeport mill, wow that is one cool machine for the workshop, ebayed but was 150 mile away, like a clown I went to collect in the ram, with everything else my brother and I bought from the same guy my ram was overloaded for sure but a bridgeport is very tall so definetly top heavy, we had to crank it into the lowest possible height Got 2 milling vices, a rotating milling table, cutters and a 3 phase planishing hammer mill, the legs sticking up on the left is the planishing hammer and the orange thing on the right is the suds tray, I could only just lift the rotating table off the ground wow It took me nearly…

Got the job of cutting up what I was told were kilns at a large ground regeneration site in Walsall about 40 miles from me, which is defined as the Black Counrty https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Country and no it's not what you think 5 had been dug out of the ground with more still buried, of course with the stupid Health and Safety laws here Oxy Acetylene isn't allowed on site so are having to use Propane which for cutting is next to useless Site has remnants of a Dunlop belt works including the tip and metalwork companies and has got to be completely excavated down to clean ground which is in places 30 to 40 ft over a huge area And all the pic…

Must be alot of good weather around the country lately, site has been pretty quiet the last few days. Been rainy and cold here so I tend to check in more frequently, but hasn't been too much going on. Hope everyone is doing well.....
