  1. I got the new steering Blue Top Steering Gearbox yesterday. Didn't take me much to get it installed. After getting the system filled with fluid and getting the air out of the system. Tell you the truth there isn't much difference between my old box and the Blue Top right off the bat sitting in the shop. Being my old OEM box was tight yet the Blue Top reacts the same way sitting in the shop. Now I roll out the door and get going to McCall, ID. On the highway there isn't much difference between than my OEM box and Blue Top either being you more or less keep it straight most of the time again my old box was still tight. Where the Blue Top Steering Gearbox really shines in in the city. Now hooking right and left turns this box is quick and feels good and fast. I tend to do back streets in McCall less traffic and stop and go. I was able to wheel around the city with better ease compared to the slow ratio box I had. It's Tuesday so I've got to make a long haul today to Ontario, OR today for MoparMom. So I'll get plenty of seat time playing with that box and be able to report even more when I get home.
  2. I'll have to close this thread. I sent my box back as a core being the input end cap has issues with the threads being the cap was rusted in the threads so I ordered a full box.
  3. I would pull that alternator and have it bench tested I'm pretty sure the diodes are gone.
  4. Pair of long needle nose pliers might work better. I've been known to get some out with my angled tipped needle nose pliers too.
  5. I don't know. Payette Lake in McCall Idaho is still iced over yet.
  6. Not likely... Being as a domain gets age it worth more money. So trying to buy an existing domain with any kind of age for 5 to 10 bucks ain't happening. Sorry. Age and traffic are key factors here in domain pricing.
  7. Check out dodgecummins.com at $30,000.00 so yeah it can get rather deep.
  8. Actually, my truck was more pissed off to the fact of the battery being stone dead. Battery charger and the 1996 Dodge Ram 1500 hooked up on the other battery and it took 30 minutes to get it started. After it did start I had a P1688 code. After 5 key cycles, the CEL went off so it's all good for now.
  9. You need to hunt the internet and see if the domain name is available. Just type into your browser any domain name you would want. See if it returns anything. Then check back with GoDaddy domain name search and see if it's available through them. As for GoDaddy or any shared hosting REMEMBER your only paying $5 dollars a month. That not enough for anyone to live on so of course they are going anything they can to see more addons and packages than what you need. They want to make money as well. This one reason I'm not fond of the shared hosting. Cheap servers, limited everything even though that say "unlimited everything". More or less you are buying a "Geo" and asking to jump into the Nascar circuit. Like I said it good start hosting but I wouldn't expect to stay there. If you are looking for domain name based on SEO thoughts then you better look at the keyword you would most likely to use over and over on your own website. Again look at my site my domain name has nothing to do with Cummins or Diesels but I'm up there with all the big names and surpassed many of them on SEO value. Just think a company named "Amazon" they have absolutely nothing to with the jungle, rain forest or South America. Domain name can be anything you wish it to be. So don't let SEO scare you into limited choices. Like my web management I chose "Prevail Web Management". The definition of prevail... Which I've managed to do in two different cases. Yeah, I'll admit my Prevail site is rather ragged and be lacking content but between all the jobs I do, I understand. I'm building it as a notebook of tricks and tips as I learn to overcome different problems. I've got an awesome way to deal with email addresses now and how to deal spammers from foreign countries. So, later on, I've got to update my articles on that site as well as check here and Smarty Resource...
  10. Here is the down low on the alternator noise issue that makes this problem.
  11. Out here its called "Roll Starting". Where the vehicle is rolling and the clutch is dropped on a mid gear. The VP44 and lift pump rely on the tach signal and as soon as that is sensed the VP44 and lift pump come to action.
  12. Let me straight something out... Hosting is going to be limited no matter where you go. Most all have 100 connection limit. so speed and power is limited period. As for how much you can tune to get the most out of it I would say GoDaddy is a good beginner starting spot. Depending on how much content and how fast you keep updating the site and pushing it will determine how fast you'll grow to the limit and outgrow GoDaddy. M73M.com outgrew GoDaddy.com in about 3 years. SEO no host has anything to do with SEO. That is strictly up to you. Hosting company is not going to help nor setup SEO for you. Again this is strictly up to you and what you plan on building. Hence this why I push the Invision Power Board because from the start its SEO is GOOD it up to you to but the less bit of effort into the configuration of the software and your webpages to make it excellent. The biggest problem I see people doing is post a ton of photos and no text/words on a page. This is a dead page and has ZERO SEO. Again it about how much you type in text that people can read produce SEO. SEO is built from URL Links, Title, Keyword usage, and a bit of META tag usage. Again no hosting company will promise good or best SEO. That is strictly on the website owner. You have to have the drive and the want to build a top-notch website. I've seen several website start look pretty and fail shortly afterwards because of praying that good looks would get them that high SEO. Nope... Don't work that way. An example I can use is the policy violator database I built for Smarty Resource website. They needed a way to take care of the vendors that were breaking the MAP pricing policies. I told the owner I have a solution after building the database and tweaking the SEO for the database. I asked Brian the Admin to start filling in the database. I asked him which one was there problem child? He told me It only took me 7-9 days I had that vendor calling the website owner begging to get off that list. This shocked the owner of the website he couldn't believe I was able to do that. I told him I could now remove him at the drop of the hat and make his website disappear in under 48 hours. https://smartyresource.com/policy-violators.htm/ Again another shocker to the website owner. So I've been employeed by Smarty Resource as there Server Admin for now 1.5 years. https://smartyresource.com/staff/
  13. Looks good but... You got to find out how much access to the server do you have? Do you have SSH access on PuTTy? Then if you do can you access your LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP) settings from the terminal? Most have all this behind a firewall and leaves you hanging this is a typical issue with Shared Hosting. So if the MySQL server isn't tuned for your purpose you going to take a performance hit. The thing is don't look at the monthly price look at what you capable of doing. Ask for... How many concurrent connections are you allowed? How much RAM does your website get from the server? How much CPU power or Cores do you get for your website? How much bandwidth and speed do you get for your website? How much storage, file count and file size are you allowed for your website? Can you customize your php.ini file for your PHP? Can you customize the my.cnf file for your MySQL server? Can you access your server by terminal (Linux) or PuTTy (Windows) Let say I've seen few hosting companies like iPage Shared Hosting that is very limited and you can't do anything server wise. Another bad company is Network Solutions again no access to the server at all. GoDaddy.Com at least has the full access to the server from the terminal (or PuTTy). Why does this matter? It because the TTFB (Time to first byte) is important. You should see about 200-400ms TTFB value. This means the server is setup properly and not lagging for memory or server configuration issues. The worse this value get slower Google and other search engine walk your site and update the search engines. If you have a slow server then you business will be slow to start and be seen. You'll constantly be out ranked SEO wise for faster sites. Here is another site I just changed from Shared Hosting to VPS. You can see the ramp up of Google bots as the server became quicker and capable of server more connections.
  14. That's a start. If still giving you problems. I'd have them re-popped tested and check for flow rates again. I hate to admit it I had one set of DAP injectors that fell off set pop and needed to be redone. It happens. I want to take my current set this summer and repop to 315 bar and run them. First I need the steering fixed.
  15. I think Al Gore screwed up big time with his "Global Warming" crap. I guess we need to spend some of those carbon credits up there so we can provide you some greenhouse gases to warm you up and thaw you out. Springs started last month.
  16. Funny how heating and cooling will draw moisture into the weirds little places to do damage. Good Tip!
  17. It's been too long since I've done 12V's to remember if they had o-rings...
  18. I tend to agree. Much easier with high-pressure lines removed. Still can be done with the high pressure lines in place. The only trick is to remove the 4 bolts hold the lines loosen all lines so the whole pack of 3 will flex. Then you get just enough room to pick out the crossover tubes. Just depends if you got times or not.
  19. 4,000 HP are you kidding? That is just way over board...
  20. Only when the engine is fully warmed up right? If so the injectors are to blame.
  21. I really hate those day working on the diesel and end up working on the fuel lines. Without fail I'll loosen a fuel line and be uncrewing the JIC fitting and have diesel running down my arm into the back of my shirt. Then work on a gasoline vehicle and have it do the same thing... The only difference is gasoline stinks. Diesel I don't really notice till MoparMom yelling at me about smelling like a diesel fuel tank.
  22. My truck is the same wacky offset of speed too. Stock tire size and about 3 MPH high. Suppose to be set for 99.7 tire size but that calculates about 3 MPH high for some reason.
  23. Just like Invision Power Board I can pay the steep $500 fee and do the same thing... Since I've not paid the fee the copyright notice must remain. As for other hosting information, I could leave it off but I like supporting my own businesses. Because he's on a quality Virtual Private Server (VPS) most likely. They typically are clean servers without the tagging or advertising of the hosting company like some of the cheap hosting sites. He's on HTML5 code and CCS3 styling. SEO is OK the only thing is he's way too deep in photos and not enough words. Remember one thing about search engines they cannot see graphics or colors. So what Google sees is this. Yes I can see website through Google Glasses and strip of the eye candy that is meaningless and get right down to what sells. The TEXT! If you don't have any text you SEO is junk. In his case the SEO is OK nothing special but OK. So any example from my site that scores EXCELLENT on the SEO. Now the Google Glasses... Lots and lots of text. Less graphics and colors but SEO scores high...
  24. So my suggestion is, start with GoDaddy.Com for hosting. Do the smallest hosting package you can to get started up. I would suggest going for the Invision Power Suite software because it covers all angles of website hosting. Just got to add the proper plugin and put content on the site. No coding experience required to keep the software going. Just like doing emails... That simple. Then once you manage to reach 100 connection limit and choke on GoDaddy I would suggest flipping over to iPage VPS (Virtual Private Servers). Way better control of the server, software, and configuration.
  25. Here is more on that engine...
