New Toy
I don't know how many you could sale. I'd buy one, but that doesn't make it worth your while.

New Toy
Good for you. I hope it works out for you. It would be cool to get some M1973M Yeti cups for sale on the site. Rather than buying Yeti I have bought several RTIC (made in the same Chinese factory as YETI for half the price) and I drink out of it everyday.

Reloading Thread
I started using Bergers last year for my .300 win mag. I had used Hornady and Noslers. The Bergers that I used increased my consistency and they tightened my groupings. They are pricey, I had a friend give me some to try. I wish these bullet manufacturers would sell bullets in smaller quantities. I don't always want to buy a box o 50, it would be nice to buy them in smaller groups before I commit to 50....but that is just my rant.

Installing a new style high idle switch in overhead console
I only needed a 1ft extension to get to the overhead console. I don't know if the high idle cable differ in length, but that is all I need to make it fit.

CACA Bluetooth Stereo
So does the camera tie in somewhere to your reverse lights?

CACA Bluetooth Stereo
How does it interface so that it automatically turns on when you shift into reverse? How did you route the camera cable from the stereo to the camera?

Installing a new style high idle switch in overhead console
I installed the new style in the overhead. I added a 12" extension cable that I bought from Amazon and it works great.

2014 in-truck heater
You can pull the blower out and inspect your evaporator that way. But to change or clean anything you will have to pull the whole box. Weather for heat or cooling you need to consider this. In both pictures that is the A/C evaporator that is covered in garbage. Meaning there is restricted air flow whether you are calling for cooling or heat. It isn't as bad as job as most people think and it will make a HUGE difference.

My butt is finally level.
I did mine last year and it made such a huge difference.

2014 in-truck heater
Are you saying that coolant is not flowing through your heater core or air is not passing through? When is the last time you have flushed your coolant? Your core could become a collection point for debris floating inside your coolant system and that would block or limit coolant flow. If you hare having airflow issues you ought to look at your HVAC box. I'm not sure how the 2014 is set up but my '99 was filled with all sorts of garbage that had made it's way inside the box and plugged the evaporator and in turn restricting air from passing through the heater core. I probably could have seen this by pulling the squirrel cage and using a flash light and a mirror. This is what mine looked like.

Lets see what guns you "don't own" :shifty:
It's all over now...the more you reload the more crap you realized that you "have" to buy. Another thing I have found is how the bullet's seating depth changes accuracy and consistency. Hornady makes an OAL gauge and when used with the comparator tool is makes seating your bullets super consistent. But that all requires more stuff to buy. Good luck, I found that I really enjoy reloading, but now I have brass stored everywhere, even for guns I don't have.

Fuel mileage sucks! Please help!
The idea is to get rid of the banjo fittings all together. You are right, those banjo bolts are restrictive. I've replaced my banjo bolts with larger fittings altogether.

How are y'all measuring out your 2 stroke dose?
I have a half-quart container that I use. I ought to find a quart container. I try to guess how much it will use, pour it in first then fill the tank. After filling I'll add the remainder of my 2 stroke.

Lets see what guns you "don't own" :shifty:
I love the XBolt, I have the X bolt in .300 Win Mag as well. It is the most comfortable gun I have shot. I can shoot my .300 win mag all day. The only down side is it is loud. It has a muzzle break and even with double hearing protection it will rattle your brain. I have shot at a few indoor ranges and partially covered ranges and people don't like to shoot near me.

Lets see what guns you "don't own" :shifty:
I started reloading several years ago and it can be addicting. I sometimes wonder if the only reason I shoot is just so I can go reload some more.... I reload for my 7MM/08, I couldn't imagine shooting/paying for factory loads. But by reloading you can change so much and the options can be endless. Especially if you compare what is available on the shelf. My son just got an XBolt in the 6.5 Creedmore, we haven't got dies for it yet, but I am excited to start reloading for that. You'll be amazed how reloads can change accuracy and consistency. But you can go bankrupt trying to explore all of the options.

Constant brake issues
When it was bled were you getting air bubbles out? Even though it has been bled correct several times you could still be pulling air in if you have a bad connection or bad line somewhere.

-13*F cold start and 3 cylinder high idle
how much gasoline in a take will start to cause problems? 1 gallon in 33 doesn't sound like much, but I imagine that it would still cause problems. Is the fix to drain the tank and refil?

2001 Steering Column, Drivers Seat replacement
I did my driver's side cushion last year. It was pretty easy to do.
-
Increasing Fass PSI
I installed a test port as well. Another added bonus is that I can bleed air from there after changing the fuel filter. I don't have to crank nearly as long.

1999 stalls at stopping
Is the code still present? You certainly need to upgrade your lift pump. Are the RMPs jumping when it is sitting idle. It is odd that it is stalling when you push the clutch in, is this as you are traveling down the road or sitting still?

Overhead console trip meter doesn't work
Mine is the exact same...

Buying a rolled over truck.
It depends on what you plan doing with it. Is there something in that truck that you want or are you wanting to part it out and hope to recoup your money?

Extended crank to start
I would look into it losing prime somewhere

Wont Start and No Dash Illum Lights
Go back through everything that you installed and tinkered with. If it happened after installing gauges I am willing to bet that the problems lies in there. Check all of your wiring connections, look for pinched wires and something that got smashed or shorted during the install. If you can't find anything maybe unhook the gauges to see if it is something internal to them. Are you just visually checking fuses? I would check them for actual continuity to make sure that they are good.

Gremlin overload!
Make sure you battery cables are tight. I once had something similar, after cleaning the battery posts I put the cables back on but forgot to tighten them down. The problem was intermittent and didn't begin until days after.
