Mopar1973Man

In all the years of being on hosting plans (GoDaddy, iPage, and Liquid Web). I have always had a premade server all set up for me. Yeah, I know hosting companies stamp these out quickly. Since the home server has been up and running, it has done an excellent job of backing up data and doing basic tasks. I've got 32 GB of memory, 16TB of M.2 hard drives, and 16 CPU Cores. Now I'm installing the LAMP package (Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP). I'm using Webmin, Usermin, and Virtualmin for my control panel. So far, I've been doing well and getting things set up and ironed out on my own. I will admit that once you learn to use Google's AI features, you can diagnose a web server fairly quickly. Right now, the home.mopar1973man.com domain is only on the local server/network. This allows me to bench test all this server before hooking it up to the internet. Now, in the study I've done, I found out I can still host data on the internet from my server even currently. As you see, the weather station here on the website is listed as Weather in the Mopar1973Man section. Then I've been able to check my security cameras. So this points out that there is something you can port out of the network here. From what I've found out, you can host data over Starlink, but you should have IPv6 set up and then have a full router, like what I've got here, a TP-Link ER605 gateway. The last step is to put Starlink into bypass mode. This should allow you to now control your data and port forwarding, which the Starlink box is missing. This keeps you locked out of doing something like hosting your own network on the internet. home.mopar1973man.com will be the address of my server here. Currently, I'm not listing this on the DNS server yet. Security must be handled first. Second, since Starlink is a dynamic IP address its hard to lock a server to a moving IP address. Fix! My TP-Link SG2428-P Switch has functions for hosting a dynamic domain through companies like DnuDNS, NO-IP, etc. I opted for DynuDNS, which you have to set up using the Custom section of LAN DNS section. I forced the local machines to use the hosts file in Linux as a fake way of handling the domain name for testing. Currently Ubuntu Servers are down due to hacker strike.

Time to put it back together!

Thank you for the wonderful comment.

Thank you for the simple comment. Yes you are correct.

I'm finding that people don't really care what I look like as long as the knowledge keeps rolling. I've got friends requesting me to sit and watch them work and help where I can. First job was a friend in Caldwell, Idaho that had driver side brake pad start scraping metal-to-metal contact. Luck he was smart, drove home, and parked the truck. The truck is a 1999 Dodge 1500 V8 5.2L 2WD. Driver side I showed him the basics of how to remove, which is simple: get the truck jacked up and remove the wheel. Grab a 3/8" Allen Socket and remove the 2 caliper guide pins. Caliper comes off simple. Little fun with getting the large single piston back in fully to fit the new pads over. All the driver side rteplaced. Tire back on and torqued tight on the lug nuts. Moved to the other side and someone before him helicoiled one of the caliper bolts and the loctite didn't hold. Ugh! We ended up hunt all over Nampa - Caldwell for a helicoil kit to repair that knuckle. This is where I had to step up and do the tap work and get the helicoils in. He understand once he gets moved to Riggins, Idaho he NEEDS to replace that entire knuckle on the passenger side.

During my trip to Lewiston, Idaho, the passenger side headlight failed. I assume the bulb was blown. I attempted to get a replacement bulb in town. Not possible. We stayed to daylight travel to get home. I returned home and ordered a set of 55w ballast and 55w D2H bulbs as a set. As I was disconnecting wires, the passenger side power plug from the MotoControl had burned one of the power pins. I had to contact RetroShop to order the new MotoControl. I've just needed a good weather day to get the headlights installed again.

I've seen another post back in time here where someone lost the entire tone ring into the oil pan and crushed it up. I think you found the problem.

Weird part... Polling is turned on already for the Cummins swap area. Let me dig a bit on this. Should be available during the first post as a switch for polls.

CANBus was left for the "Cummins Insite" tool for the diagnostic connector. 2003 The CANBus was introduced to the 3rd Gens. We are just in the testing stage of this with the VP44 communications.

Could you post this in the article section with more detail on how you made the trays and hold downs. I'll bonus you $10 for the article. 🤑

Im using a reset able 150 amp breaker on my setup and working great. Protects the electrical from a dead short. Yes alternator diodes can and will short out at times it just best to have a way to keep it from melting the wiring and starting a fire.

Like us we want to travel east to catch up with some members like @Doubletrouble @jlwelding @towhungerford and a few others that were there for me during my cancer battle. We will see soon.

Sorry. Been on the road this last week with limited cell service. But try the crayon trick on the next bolts or nut problem.
