Don't know how to start this being as degrading as it was for me to buy a gasser. Anyhow, I got a 1994 Jeep Cherokee 5 Speed 4wd 4.0 inline 6. My truck does not like to warm up in the winter at all because it runs too efficient, thermostat stays closed, everything. That being said, it only gets to 175F by the time I get to work (15 miles later) so it is never even at operating temp. I don't want to keep driving with a cold engine every single day so I decided to get something else. Obviously the issue is winter so I wanted a 4wd. A diesel was out of the question because although I can get a crappy one, I really want HEAT for once without waiting 10 miles. I read an…

My computer is acting up and i'm not able to figure out whats going on with it. It has probably 7-8 usb ports on it, some of the ones on the back I have my mouse, keyboard and printer hoolked to (they all are working). On the front I have 3 ports and also a slot I can plug my camera SD card into it. Whenever I plug a flash stick into one of the ports it doesn't pop the box open asking my what I want to do, as in view files,play files etc, and if I go to My Computer, locate the drive on try to open it up it always says the drive needs to be formatted. A couple of the sticks i have I said ok, formatt, it always says they couldn't be done. One stick I have I know works becau…

Well my wife and I did a huge house remodel this last spring and bought all new stainless steel kitchen appliance and have spent a fortune on about every type of cleaner and found nothing that would clean them up without leaving streaks ect.Well during thanksgiving I had a conversation with some retired folks who work in church kitchens with lots of stainless and they said what works best is the cheapest and simplest product yet.Buy Isopropyl alcohol and put it in a spritzer bottle. It cleans it up so easy and streak free it is amazingSo those with the same issue here is the tip of the year.

I've talked to a lot of you about how short my daylight hours are because of the deep canyon I live in and how late it is for the sun to come up over the mountain and then how quickly its sets over the west side mountain... Well here is a place that only sees 3 hours of daylight rioughly.

Mike got my wanting to play with toys after his recent post so lets see everyone toys. Big, small and everything in between. I will get some pics up of mine later.

This is what happens when you travel 180 miles to go shopping... McCall, ID Now Payette, ID (near Ontario, OR) Like local here a 4 pin twist lock plug is $39 bucks... Head down to Ontario, OR and hit Home Depot and get the same plug for $15 bucks... Locally a gallon of antifreeze is like $15 bucks or go down to WalMart in Ontario, OR and get it for $8 bucks a gallon. MoparMom and I are really getting tired of the price gouging locally...

MoparMom stubbled across this little tidbit and had me watch this video I was shocked so I had to share it with you all. http://www.miniatur-wunderland.com/exhibit/video/5-minutes-wunderland/ http-~~-//youtu.be/ACkmg3Y64_s

So i have been performing an experiment on myself to see if there is a positive change.From where i live the speeds are 75 at the highest and 55 at the lowest maximum limit.I have been cruising at 55 the whole way both directions and have found the following.1. My mileage obviously will be around the best for my truck.2. Going slower than everyone else allows me to relatively stay in the right lane and i dont have to switch lanes much anymore. another source of aggrivation.3. Faster people will pass and fly by, so be it.4. Going slower means i dont have slow people in front of me to slow me down that would normally be a source of aggrivation.5. I dont have to pass people …

Perfect. If only I wasn't out of beer. Merry Christmas guys.

I NEED help from someone smarter than I with an Excel formula! I have my spreadsheet all completed except one formula. I have everything tied to a date and am wanting to save each days figures on the same spreadsheet. I was hoping that if I "saved" the sheet after each day it would keep the figures there that I wanted. But, once I put in a new date all of the info is lost. Anyone have any ideas?

I have a million pics of things on my truck that people might want to see to help them with who knows what, but I have no way of showing them. Photobucket seems a little unorganized/slow. I literally have a million pics so the last thing I want is it to take 10 min to go through 10 pics. I have maybe 50GB+ of videos as well but theres no way I can upload that. Wondered if someone had ever ran across a worthy photo sharing site.

OK! I know some are a little resistant to using Amsoil so if this should help you. This study is real relevant and thought out and what gives us some credibility is that it was done on Ford motor property. Diesel Fleet Fuel Economy Study this will give you the info. Buy using AMSOIL synthetic drivetrain lubricants increased fuel economy in short- to medium-haul trucking applications by 6.54 percent. This should and will help even those of us that drive 250 - 650's it all apples to us. They go to great details to show you they did not want to be partial.

The target we sight everything in on and thanksgiving dinner, a week after thanksgiving :banghead: Shoulda shot them all out of spite.

Yes, I am crazy. But they look so fun! And with scrap prices, i am pretty sure that I could part out/scrap the thing if something major breaks and nearly break even. If I can find one with a winch for cheap enough... It might just come home.I am not crazy enough to get a 5 ton with the 800+ CI cummins in it. If I had a CDL, perhaps, but I think the 5 ton might be a bit too big. If anybody here has a deuce, I have some questions.
