Help me out guys quick, I think my PC is dying. It gave blue screen of death this a.m. and took me several attempts of restarting it to get it to come to life again. How do I go about backing up all of my personal info docs and pics before it crashes again. My wife and I are tech illiterate and have never backed anything up which we have talked about doing for years but keep putting it off dumb dumb dumb I know :banghead: . we have several years of pics on the pc that have never been transferred to anything as well as documents and files and also the info in my e-mail. we had a computer crash a hard drive several years ago and we lost everything including years of…

This unit came in with the complaint of oil in the coolant. After further inspection it was determined two kinds of coolant were mixed in and ran forever. This stuff is like gelatin and is packed in every cooling passage you could think of. Day two of flushing is started and its still pushing gunk out.

Here is another Happy Birthday out for... Ilikeoldfords MoparMom happen to take notice to your about the same time Dripley's.

Have a friend who works on a dredge on the Columbia river. Says the motor for the dredge pump runs a 3' steel line. Says the injectors are 3' long. He's going to get me one of the throw aways. They are now doing major retrofitting. I'll try to get more info on the motor they are comin out of.

My brother is under his train engine trying to disconnect the drive chain so he can service the gear box. I'm thinking he needs to relieve tension on the link he's trying to pull. Ideas? Is there a tool? He has photos on FB. Appears to be some curve to the chain (slack) but I can't copy the pictures. Plymouth DDT narrow gauge switcher, 6-71 power.

I would like to let everyone know one of the staff members had a birthday yesterday... HAPPY BIRTHDAY DRIPLEY (David Ripley)

My son has been racing Sport Mod now for going on his third year and he is doing pretty darn good .This is his first year racing IMCA. He consistently places in the top five. He started racing go karts when he was around eight. Here he is with his new (straight) body lol it wont last long. Replacing panels gets old quick. If he can just keep it out in front. Oh he has a lot of room for sponsors if anyone would like a spot on his car. Its not real expensive 250.00 a season would get your spot on the rear quarter panel. You can have the logo made and sent to him or he will make logo and install. Are there any other racers out there? I like looking at cars.

Anybody know why I don't get notifications anymore when someone responds to my posts? I used to get them before the site got updated. I have checked my settings and appears to me that I should be getting them. What am I doing wrong

I am not generally a believer in corporations are evil. But I heard that Michael Jordan makes more money from Nike than the entire combined work force in Malaysia.

Without talking about what should be done and not getting polical in this discussion, what is your thoughts on where we are heading today? Will we see rapid inflation? Economic collapse? If so, can you share what that actually means? What explicit occurances do you see going forward? Suppose our leaders wake up..... do you think things could still around and bring back the economic strength we once enjoyed? I'm trying to get a handle on how you all think things will develope for our future. Thanks for your thoughts to all fellow Cummins enthusiasts around here .

Anyone try to use Tapatalk? I couldn't find this forum on there.

Well my Lincoln had been leaking coolant from behind the timing cover for a while... Fixed it with some Bars leaks 5 months ago and then it started leaking again :banghead: ...Funny she must have known I bought the gasket kit the week before Anyway the timing cover had never been cracked in 23 years so it was a P.I.T.A !!!!! to try and remove... The 4 studs did not really want to come out :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: and 1 bolt sheared off at the head wich in theory should have been ok and it should have just been able to slide out over the studs and bolts... Tried every conventional method to remove said bolt and studs to no avail Tried heating wi…

Saw this on a truck at the race track.... I WANT!!!

This crap is getting ridiculous!!! How many of y'all think we're being force fed this garbage by the liberals and by the media??? I try to treat folks how I'd like to be treated plain and simple regardless…….…………………I can tolerate their lifestyle, but I don't have to accept it. I personally believe it's a sin. Hate the sin; but pray for the sinner. I think it's more about themselves and publicity it receives than it is about them and their lifestyle.

Anyone have the wiring schematics for a Model A-69? I'm not having very much luck finding some free info
