I'm about to build 2 wiring conversion kits for someone.. I'll have a price in a day or so, but basically it'll be in the amount of parts+shipping+ a tad bit of labor time.. These will be quality, hand-made harnesses, complete.Let me know if you're interested in a conversion harness. Payment will be upfront to fund the parts..

I'm not sure if this is the right section to put this. Mods please move it, if it's not. I'm looking for some numbers, Boost, EGTs, Drive pressure, RPM, and Approx outside temp. like when Boost is at X, what is all the others at, and what Turbo your running. I saw this article a little while back, and towards the bottum of it they say 2 things about there twins setup where "Unclear" to them. Well that's got me trying to learn why those things happend, and what is the cause. and that's why I need the numbers, so I can compair my numbers, with real life. Thank you all, I've learned a lot from this forum so far, and hope to be able to contribute my findings in the futur…

I saw that as of mid month, donation amount was zero. I donated $25 to kick start the $300 goal and as a thanks for all the help I've gotten with maintenance on my truck. I gave last month too, but can't do it every month of the year. Lets see that donation goal busted. I'm sure we all get benefits from the site that's worth a periodic donation.

The blond crashed her car into the ditch. No one was hurt. The Trooper arrives on the scene and asks the blond "What happened?"The blond says "I was driving down the road when a tree jumped out in front of my car. I swerved and another tree jumped in front of my car. One after another. So I ended up here."The trooper asks "What kind of tree was it?"She says "A pine tree."The cop pulls the air freshener off the rear view mirror and asks "Did it look like this?"Author unknown

I got a crazy idea of grabbing my video camera and figure I would try to record on time lapse setting of 1 sec per frame and see what happens. Well it turned out pretty good and you get to see more of Idaho as a blur... Google map of the trip. http://goo.gl/maps/sQpRh http-~~-//youtu.be/k7g6O0BXBbI

Just what this Country needs! If actually done, can you imagine where it will/might end up?For example, today I read where they want to up the cigarette tax, again. This money won't go for reducing one drop in the national debt, or to even reduce the spending deficet.NO, It is already earmarked to fund the nationwide daycare/preschool for 4 year olds.If this is how budgets are balanced these days... 'spend first, then tax later to make up for it'... And taking a trillion bucks out of this Country's peoples hands (that could of been used to buy a new car, appliance, FOOD, furniture... etc etc) can only be good right??

I was driving at 65 and got passed by a new duramax ambulance doing like 80. It was puking white smoke that smelled like solid fuel. What is wrong with it? When the CR injectors fail, do they stick wide open or something? He musta been doing that for 30 miles.

I understand it's been really cold up in Wild & Free's country. Couldn't help myself.

I joined up mainly to explore parts for my Cummins 903, It did recognize my ESN! When I click on parts under my ESN, I'll get this screen: [TABLE=class: fullscreen] [TR] [TD] [TABLE] [TR] [TD] [TABLE] [TR] [TD] Content For Engine Serial Number (ESN): 10966569 PRINT OPTION LIST [TABLE=class: box, align: center] [TR] [TH=class: tbl_header, colspan: 2]Archive Option Information [/TH] [/TR] [TR] [TH]Part Number [/TH] [TH]Description [/TH] [/TR] [TR] [TD]156172 [/TD] [TD]FILTER, FUEL: [/TD] [/TR] [TR=class: even] [TD]173772 [/TD] [TD]SUPPORT, FRONT MOUNT: [/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]189559 [/…

I'm on the school board in my town. Been board chair for 3 out of 6 years. Anyway, we will be discussing school staff carrying concealed weapons on Monday. I don't expect it to go anywhere, but its on the agenda. I'm not really sure I want to push it yet. No school district in Oregon has done this yet, legislation is currently being kicked around that would make it not possible and its a very divisive issue for the liberal makeup of the industry. Currently citizens can carry in schools as long as they do not have an employment contract with the schools. I carry regularly. Keep posted for fireworks report and update on legislation.

O'Reilly Auto Parts has Rotella T6 Synthetic oil on sale for $19.99 a gallon (at least here in Idaho). I use this oil in both my gen 2 and gen 3 trucks. Shell is also offering a $5 rebate per gallon of T6 Synthetic for a maximun of two gallons. http://www.shell.com/rotella/promotions/t6-spring-promotion.html The O'Reilly sale will give you the oil for a couple of bucks cheaper than Wally World and with the rebate you are getting the gallon of T6 Synthetic for about $16. That will save you some money on your oil change. That's better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.

My jeep has a tiny but consistent antifreeze into oil leak. Today I finalllllllly got around to taking the head off. Welll....I coulda just taken the valve cover off and been amazed. There is up to 1/2" of this carbony oily buildup crap. My dodge is spotless and has 150,000 miles more. So what causes this? I've only had this jeep for 10,000 miles and it runs like a top, sommmmehow. Even got 20mpg the other day. It does run hot though.

My wife and I are getting tired of the liberal politics in Oregon. We also would like more seclusion. We live in a log home, but dream of a more recluse lifestyle in our retirement years. We took a trip to Idaho last summer for a wedding and were impressed with the liberty you seem to have there. I've got a real estate app on my phone and there are some pretty nice places on 5+ acres for decent prices. Is there an area you'd recommend looking to settle? Must have firewood available for heating. Would rather cut it off site rather than on our own property. Getting really tired of government and carbon taxes pushing up utility rates.

So as the title say's did you buy the Dodge or the Cummin's?? Over the year's i've heard prople I know say I'd love a Cummin's just don't want a dodge. I myself own 4 atm A 1974 Dodge D300 440, 2000 dodge 1500 360, 2000 Dodge 2500 V10, and a 2001 Dodge 3500 Cummin's. And as you can tell I buy my Truck's for the Brand on the Grille not the engine under the Hood Getting a Cummin's was just a bouns. But i was curious if any one else bought a Dodge truck that happened to have a Cummin's in it or a Cummin's with a dodge wrapped around it.....I hear the Phrase "It's a Dodge thing" used way to much. To me that's just BS for lazy owner's to lean on. To start a cracked Dash would …

I saw Mikes thing saying he was on another search and rescue. Being I haven't really seen this discussed, I want to hear more about it. So, how do you prevent getting lost? Seems people do it easily. How do find your way back once you're lost? On dirt bikes I often ride where there are tons of trails which lead to who knows where which intersect and do this and that and it's almost impossible to back track where you've been. I can get a general sense of which direction I went from camp so I can get a general direction heading back, but because I have like a 3.5 gallon tank on it which lasts forever, I just ride until I find something familiar again, like pavement. …

[h=2]Discover how to help escape costly auto brake repair bills with regular inspections.[/h]When your car brakes (pads, linings, shoes) are almost worn out, metallic tabs will create a squealing noise when the brakes are applied to alert you that the brake linings are due for replacement. Heed the warning. If you ignore the warnings long enough, you can do costly damage to the rotors, drums and other components. This will likely lead to an unpleasant auto brake repair bill. Even with regular replacement of the linings, some additional service is typically required over the long haul. The surfaces of drums and discs wear unevenly in normal use and eventually ne…

[h=2]How to wax a car for optimal shine and overall results.[/h]Car wax: why you should choose your car wax wisely -- and how to wax a car for the best results. Different paint finishes require different car waxes. New paint, old paint, clear-coat paint, single-stage paint and scratched paint all call for their own type of wax. Make certain that the car wax you choose is compatible with the paint and finish of your vehicle. In general, liquid car waxes are synthetic while paste waxes can either be natural or a combination of natural wax and synthetic additives. Determine which type of wax is right for you and your vehicle based on paint compatibility and…

A local lady gets bark chip from a landscaping company for her nursery. Shes going to be plantig 5,000 blueberry plants and needs the bark chip. Well, as a fringe benefit, they dump the wood there as well. Well, they only go through 6 cord/year. This is the product of them dumping their wood from last year. She needs a fella like me to come over and get rid of the excess. It can be a very ideal situation for me as I will hopefully only have my saw and labor as my overhead. Guy is gonna get me a splitter and trailer. All I have to do is fill his woodshed and this and the rest of the wood from this year will be mine! Now, someone tell me, who can guess the approx…
