I tag the illumination wire on the light switch, personally, so the gauge lights (unless LED) dim with the instrument panel.but that's just me.

If your 12V is stock (O.P.), then after 22-2300rpm, it's gonna fall down, anyway..fuel plategovernor springsboost elbowfilteregt gaugeexhaustenjoyIf it's an auto, then get ready for slippage/trans replacement. since yours is 5 speed, your clutch may start to show signs of weakness if stock.

Ubuntu is a nice distro. Proven with a great track record. and 99% of the time, all hardware works (incl. wireless on a laptop.) I actually think I've got Ubuntu 3 on a cd somewhere LOL Mike, there's an app called WINE (www.winehq.com) that will often allow a Windows-based app to run on a Linux box, much like Parallels for Mac.

oh yay... Now I may be needing a steering box AND an injector pump.. :spend::spend: that I do NOT have... :banghead:

CentOS (Community Enterprise Operating System) is, in a nutshell, Red Hat/Fedora. CentOS5 Server is basically RHEL5 (Red Hat Enterprise Server.) CentOS GUI is essentially Fedora. It's built from the RH source code, and is the most used Linux distro for web servers. RHEL/CentOS is rpm-based. I use YUM and RPM for installations. There are several front ends to RPM that ease the process of obtaining and installing RPMs and in resolving their dependencies. These include: [*]yum used in Fedora, MeeGo, CentOS-5, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and above, Scientific Linux, Yellow Dog Linux and Oracle Linux. [*]up2date used in Red Hat Enterprise Linux and CentOS (CentOS-3 and CentOS-4). Local RPM installation database Working behind the scenes of the package manager is the RPM database, stored in /var/lib/rpm. It uses Berkeley DB as its back-end. It consists of a single database (Packages) containing all of the meta information of the installed rpms. Multiple databases are created for indexing purposes, replicating data to speed up queries. The database is used to keep track of all files that are changed and created when a user (using RPM) installs a package, thus enabling the user (via RPM) to reverse the changes and remove the package later. If the database gets corrupted (which is possible if the RPM client is killed), the index databases can be recreated with the rpm --rebuilddb command. An RPM is delivered in a single file, normally in the format: <name>-<version>-<release>.<architecture>.rpm such as: libgnomeuimm-2.0-2.0.0-3.i386.rpm Source code may also be distributed in RPM packages; the architecture part is specified as <src>: libgnomeuimm-2.0-2.0.0-3.src.rpm RPMs with the noarch.rpm extension refer to packages which do not depend on a certain computer's architecture. The RPM contents also include a package label, which contains the following pieces of information: [*]the software name [*]the software version (the version taken from original "upstream" source of the software) [*]the package release (the number of times the package has been rebuilt using the same version of the software). This field is also often used for indicating the specific distribution the package is intended for by appending strings like "mdv" (formerly, "mdk") (Mandriva Linux), "fc4" (Fedora Core 4), "rhl9" (Red Hat Linux 9), "suse100" (SUSE Linux 10.0) etc. [*]the architecture the package was built for (i386, i686, athlon, ppc, etc.) The package label does not necessarily need to match the name of the file. Never log in/work in ROOT.. Never make your user account match ROOT privs. Use SUDO command. From terminal, to run an installation, patch, etc., the command would be something like this: [rwall@APPserver1 ~]$ sudo su - root[root@APPserver1 ~]# ls -lhtotal 512M-rw------- 1 root root 1.8K Feb 28 2010 anaconda-ks.cfg-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1.1K Jul 20 2010 banner.txt-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 11K Oct 7 2010 [COLOR=lime]bootstrap-V5.x86-64.TDL.sh[/COLOR]-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 621 Jun 30 2009 client-config-overrides.txt-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8.1K Jun 11 2009 client_config_update.pydrwx------ 2 root root 4.0K Nov 1 2010 Desktop-rw------- 1 root root 883 Nov 1 2010 id_rsa-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 42K Feb 28 2010 install.log-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3.7K Feb 28 2010 install.log.syslog-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 42M Oct 9 2009 [COLOR=red]jdk-1_5_0_22-linux-amd64.rpm[/COLOR]-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 42M Oct 18 2010 [COLOR=lime]jdk-1_5_0_22-linux-amd64-rpm.bin[/COLOR]-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 80M Sep 16 2010 [COLOR=lime]jdk6.22.bin[/COLOR]-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 20M Sep 16 2010 jre-6u22-linux-x64.bin?e=1287602650&h=c18240779380336df45da762a956dfa9-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 302K Oct 18 2010 [COLOR=lime]webapp1015.dmp.gz[/COLOR]-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 27K Dec 3 16:31 PROD_Installed_Packages.txtdrwxrwxrwx 6 root root 4.0K Nov 24 16:20 [COLOR=blue]RHEL5.5[/COLOR]-rw-r----- 1 root root 1.1K Mar 28 13:39 var.df-rw-r----- 1 root root 5.0K Mar 28 13:39 var.du[root@mwniuw1 ~]#To exit ROOT and return to your user acct, CTRL+D ls -lh = List (or Dir), -l = long, h = display size in MB form. you can see the different views by trying it as: [*]# ls [*]# ls -l [*]# ls -a As for the "ls" colors: [*]Executable files: Green [*] Normal file : Normal [*] Directory: Blue [*] Symbolic link : Cyan [*] Pipe: Yellow [*] Socket: Magenta [*] Block device driver: Bold yellow foreground, with black background [*] Character device driver: Bold yellow foreground, with black background [*] Orphaned syminks : Blinking Bold white with red background [*] Missing links ( - and the files they point to) : Blinking Bold white with red background [*] Archives or compressed : Red (.tar, .gz, .zip, .rpm) [*] Image files : Magenta (.jpg, gif, bmp, png, tif) [root@APPserver1 ~]# ls -lh[rwall@APPserver1 ~]$ sudo su - installer[nios@APPserver1 ~]$ ls -lhtotal 64Mdrwxrwxr-x 2 installer installer 4.0K May 4 08:57 [COLOR=blue]backup[/COLOR]drwxrwxr-x 6 installer installer 4.0K Apr 7 15:58 [COLOR=blue]deploy[/COLOR]-rwxrwxrwx 1 installer installer 64M Apr 7 15:51 [COLOR=lime]deploy.zip[/COLOR]-rwxrwxrwx 1 installer installer 970 Apr 7 15:51 [COLOR=lime]ins.sh[/COLOR]drwxrwxr-x 12 installer installer 4.0K Jun 3 2010 [COLOR=blue]jboss-4.0.5.GA[/COLOR]drwxr-x--- 9 installer installer 4.0K May 4 07:26 [COLOR=blue]logs[/COLOR]drwx------ 2 installer installer 16K Oct 20 2010 [COLOR=blue]lost+found[/COLOR]drwxrwxr-x 2 512 installer 4.0K Apr 8 14:10 [COLOR=blue]iinstallerdailybackup[/COLOR]-rwxrwxr-x 1 installer installer 1009 Apr 29 11:34 [COLOR=lime]appLogCopy[/COLOR]-rwxrwxrwx 1 installer installer 825 Apr 28 11:09 [COLOR=lime]apprestart[/COLOR]drwxr-x--- 5 installer installer 4.0K May 4 07:38 [COLOR=blue]patch-S22-0503[/COLOR]drwxr-x--- 2 root root 4.0K Mar 28 15:02 [COLOR=blue]ssl_error_log-backup[/COLOR]drwxrwxr-x 2 installer installer 4.0K Apr 1 14:45 [COLOR=blue]tmp-04011[/COLOR]1[nios@APPserver1 ~]$[I]{CTRL+D}[/I][root@APPserver1 ~]#In the above example list, ins.sh is kinda like a .inf or .ctl file (control file).

It's binary for 777 octal number, sorta.. The first one will usually be a 'd' or '-'. This denotes a Directory or file. There are other indicators for this slot, as well, but we'll cover that later. Each 7 denotes permissions to so, 777, or 111 111 111. You know binary/octet placement, correct? 4-2-1? 7 = 4(1) + 2(1) + 1(1) = FULL (read + write + execute)6 = 110 = read + write5 = 101 = read + execute4 = 100 = read only3 = 011 = write + execute2 = 010 = write only1 = 001 = execute only0 = 000each binary digit for an octal placement corresponds to a right granted. so if a file is: -rwxrwxrwx , the rights for that file are ®ead (w)rite (x)ecute. If it were a directory, then it would display as: drwxrwxrwx in this same example, Mike, if you wanted to change the permissions on the file (you must 'own' the file in order to do so, indicated by owner=nios group=nios) the command is: [nios@APPserver1 ~]$ chmod 444 testfileThis would change that file's permissions from -rwxrwxrwx to -r--r--r-- effectively making it a read only, for everyone. Make sense, kinda?

you asked for it! I do like Linux, but if you're used to certain apps in a MS environment (i.e. Photoshop, Corel, etc.) Gimp doesn't cut the mustard LOL a bunch of Linux apps and functionality are cumbersome for the end-user who is used to having easy-to-operate applications, as Linux isn't as 'user-friendly' as the MS or Apple venues are. But with some persistence and a little time + dedication, you'll be fine. and TERMINAL, from an OS standpoint, is phenomenal. It's so powerful. I'm starting to sound like a... ...

Opera is decent Some web pages may not function/display properly, but it's a start! Probably /usr/local/ is best. It depends on whether you plan to make it available to all users or only to one, when you install apps. If it goes to /home/USERNAME it will be available only to user USERNAME and root. If it is in /usr/local it will be globally available. I think you should install all apps in /usr/local, unless there's an app only you will need/use... --- Update to the previous post... [rwall@DBserver1 ~]$ top displays the 'task manager' of linux.. Once it's displaying (real time) you can use the B(bold) and Z(color) to change the display. CTRL+C closes it and takes you back to the prompt.

yep, looks just like Fedora 13. do you have YUM installed? RPM? what are these? The Red Hat Package Management system (RPM) is an installation application that makes installation, uninstallation, verification, and querying programs simple, while retaining the common strengths and efficiency of Linux. Yum is an interactive, automated update program which can be used for maintaining systems using rpm by super users (root). Yum will work only from CentOs 5 / Redhat 5 and latest versions of fedora. For Old releases like Rhel 4 you need to use up2date command to update your rpm based packages. _________________________________________________ FireFox 4: Firefox 4 Installations for Fedora 14 Laughlin Run terminal, then type yum --enablerepo=remi update firefox Firefox 4 installations for Centos and RHEL Firefox 4.0b8 worked on CentOS 5.5, but 4.0b9 has a problem with the revision of the C++ library and won’t run out of the box. All is not lost though, because you can use Fedora 9′s C++ library instead as follows (some of this may need sudo/root access): 1. Unpack the Firefox 4.0b9.tar.bz2 somewhere (e.g. /usr/local/firefox). With the “en_GB” release, I throw in a “dictionaries” sub-dir under there with en-GB.aff and en-GB.dic in there (and en-US.aff/.dic soft-linked to the en-GB ones) otherwise, sadly, Firefox 4 uses US spellings on what’s supposed to be an en_GB release 2. Download this 32-bit Fedora 9 libstdc++ RPM and unpack it with this command: rpm2cpio libstdc++-4.3.0-8.i386.rpm | cpio -i –make-directories 3. Move the unpacked shared library into /usr/local/firefox thus: mv usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6.0.10 /usr/local/firefox/libstdc++.so.6 Note: It’s “usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6.0.10″ above (i.e. the unpacked tree from the RPM, not the system /usr/lib tree) – do NOT put a leading slash there! 4. Run Firefox 4.0b9 with: /usr/local/firefox/firefox Or you can install last stable release of firefox from Here and compile with installations instructions on readme file. This’s the English version of Firefox 4.0 for other languages install suitable extensions 32bit, 64bit. Centos and RHEL installations instructions Source http://www.linuxnov.com/install-mozilla-firefox-4-on-fedorarhelcentos-using-remi-repository/ --- Update to the previous post... Use list command to see list of updates available: #yum list updates Use update to apply all recent updates available #yum update Use list with installed to list all installed packages #yum list installed Note: If you know package names you can use #rpm -qa to list For example; If you want to know which version of mysql is installed on your system Use # rpm -qa|grep mysql Alternatively you can use #yum list |grep mysql If you want your architecture specific packages you can try patterns like # yum list|grep mysql.`uname -i` Once you know what version you have and if you want to update specific package Use #yum update {package_name} You can also update multiple packages seperated by space at the same time #yum update {package_name_1} {package_name_2} In the same way you can install multiple packages using install #yum install {package_1} {package_2} Use remove to remove packages; For example to remove mysql #yum remove {mysql_package_name} OR #yum remove mysql* One more nice feature Yum has is group listing; suppose if you want to install all multimedia extras or comple set of mysql database or all development tools we can use group. #yum grouplist — Used to list all avaialble groups Afer that its simple #yum groupinstall {group_name} (ex. #yum install “Development Tools”) Same way you can update group #yum groupupdate “Development Tools” Apart from all above sometimes we need to install packages from third party repositories, to do so you need to first add that third party repositories to your list of repos. Follow bellow steps to easyly add repos Find out which repository you want to add and grab the repo url from internet Example: Suppose If you want to add rpmforge Way 1: Install RPM forge packages to map repository information #wget http://packages.sw.be/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.1-1.el5.rf.x86_64.rpm #rpm –import http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt #rpm -i rpmforge*.rpm #yum check-update OR Way 2: Install repo by adding repositories using repo file. This is the standard way of adding third party repositories to your Yum. Go to yum.repos.d #cd /etc/yum.repos.d Create new file for rpm forge #vim rforge [note: file name really doesn't matter; but its always better to follow naming] add following lines [rforge] name=RPMForge for RHEL/ CentOS $releasever – $basearch baseurl=http://rpmforge.net/centos/$releasever/$basearch/ enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt Where rforge: Repository Name name: Human readable name for the main name i.e for rforge baseurl: Must be a valid url of the repositories metadata i.e repodata location enabled: used to enable or disable gpgcheck: Its a security feature for GPG key gpgkey: GPL file location After this import the above specified gpl file using rpm -import #rpm –import http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt And thats it , form now on wards your yum will start scaning rpmforge for update when ever you use. --- Update to the previous post... Notes NEXT You can also get switches and general info for commands, such as YUM/RPM as examples, from within the terminal window. [rwall@DBserver1 ~]$ man yum While there are some graphical interfaces directly to the yum code, more recent graphical interface development is happening with Pack- ageKit and the gnome-packagekit application. command is one of: * install package1 [package2] [...] * update [package1] [package2] [...] * check-update * upgrade [package1] [package2] [...] * remove | erase package1 [package2] [...] * list [...] * info [...] * provides | whatprovides feature1 [feature2] [...] * clean [ packages | headers | metadata | dbcache | all ] * makecache * groupinstall group1 [group2] [...] * groupupdate group1 [group2] [...] * grouplist [hidden] [groupwildcard] [...] * groupremove group1 [group2] [...] * groupinfo group1 [...] * search string1 [string2] [...] * shell [filename] * resolvedep dep1 [dep2] [...] * localinstall rpmfile1 [rpmfile2] [...] * localupdate rpmfile1 [rpmfile2] [...] * reinstall package1 [package2] [...] * downgrade package1 [package2] [...] * deplist package1 [package2] [...] * repolist [all|enabled|disabled] * help [command] Unless the --help or -h option is given, one of the above commands must be present. Repository configuration is honored in all operations. install Is used to install the latest version of a package or group of packages while ensuring that all dependencies are satisfied. If no package matches the given package name(s), they are assumed to be a shell glob and any matches are then installed. If the name starts with an @ character the rest of the name is used as though passed to the groupinstall command. If the name is a file, then install works like localinstall. If the name doesnât match a package, then package "provides" are searched (Eg. "_sqlitecache.so()(64bit)") as are filelists (Eg. "/usr/bin/yum"). Also note that for filelists, wildcards will match multiple packages. update If run without any packages, update will update every currently installed package. If one or more packages or package globs are specified, Yum will only update the listed packages. While updating packages, yum will ensure that all dependencies are satisfied. If the packages or globs specified match to packages which are not currently installed then update will not install: The colon at the end means there's "more" to read.

For those of you that have never done it, I stumbled across a good video on replacing the clutch assembly..

I'll have to check into that. I've not touched my steer gear adjustment, but something isn't quite right. It's easy(er) to steer once it's moving, but even at a standstill, you can't hardly rotate the steering wheel. Sometimes, you just flat-out cannot turn the wheel at a stop.

I'm a Linux and Windows Server admin. Linux, hands-down, out performs Windows my quite a margin. We've got a Linux server than has NEVER been rebooted in over 5 yrs. Yes, five years. Try that with a Microsoft OS. I have several laptops at home that are either dual-boot (Linux + WinXP, Linux + Win7) or Linux only (Ubuntu, Fedora 13, CentOS.) CentOS is near Identical to Red Hat (Fedora, or RHEL for server). It's not a click-n-go, like Winblows OS, but is much more reliable, faster, uses far less resources, etc. Anti-Virus is almost a must for MS OS, ISX. Virii can be triggered by simply clicking on a picture, java, flash, etc. since 80% of the universal people run MS-based OS (the other 20% is comprised of Apple and Linux), hackers go with the masses. --- Update to the previous post... ...and I like the new Gnome3. ISX - SSDs are awesome, but the pricing is still way up there, mainly due to their newness. Kinda like an LED light for the home.. Once the new wears off, their pricing will drop. Like the $49 iPhone 3GS..

I don't really have any bump-steer in the '01. It does tend to wander just a hair, on uneven road surfaces, but other than that, it's just hard to steer. Almost like the power steering is 90% inop, but the Ps is fine, brakes are fine, no leaks, etc.. I be confused.

My '96 bringing my '01 home, last summer. I sure miss Ol' Blue. It was 10x the truck that the 24V is..

I'd believe that, if my '96 didn't steer so nicely..

any ideas why mine steers stiff, and why there needs to be so much input of the steering to get the truck to react? And it doesn't feel sloppy within the steering gear.. It definitely feels elsewhere, but I can't seem to find the "slack" area..

Indeed it will.

I have 3 generators for my business. They are the Troy-Bilt 5550s. I use them 5-6 times/yr, and they run an average of 8-12hrs each time, non-stop. 6 gal. gas runs each one that long. You can pick them up for ~3-400$ used. 6-700$ new.You can also get a smaller 2000-3000W units for a good bit less.I'd love to own a Yamaha or Honda, as they are whisper quiet., but I just cannot justify 2X the price for something 1/2 the size.

"cam plate" ??Do you mean the fuel plate? If so, $30 can get you a more aggressive replacement one. Remember, however, you'll need more boost and lots of it. Most of the kits will come with a new boost elbow.Then, if you have a stock automatic, kiss it goodbye, in short order.

I contemplated relocating the rear-view mirror an inch or so lower, and use a 3g overhead gauge pod.

2g has offset hazard switch. 3G has centered switch. That is why no dual pods for us 2g guys. :banghead:

I, personally, prefer any gauge of function to be near line of sight. Last thing I want to do is check my fuel pressure, only to look up and find myself in the ditch, headed for a tree at a high rate of speed.. Not that my truck is fast, mind you..
