  1. What happened to my western goat that used to be on here? Wanted to ask.... is there a federal law limiting the number of rounds a mag can hold? If so.... is it the same for all firearms?
  2. Looked all around for the dang thing........ Naw............ can't be.......... could it? Got flashlight, guess what ? It down the intake
  3. Same here Mopar73Man never told me too so his fault .
  4. In college they taught me to read a sentence over and over until you get it, not going to the next until you understand. It works pretty well. After awhile the complex becomes a simple understanding. It isn't a complex rewiring mod, I think W-T is trying to educate the reader, which is good.
  5. I would also check the integrity of the pin connector for the blue wire at the PCM as it's not unheard of to have a distorted pin connector.
  6. Mike is right as I didn't like it one bit when my injectors failed, left me stranded, besides almost ruining the engine. Mine failed while coasting down hill at about 10 mph, otherwise that motor probably been destroyed.
  7. Pretty important to check along that whole wire periodically for anything that can cause abrasion or breakage from vibration or constant movement. There is a recent thread about another member finding a problem where the blue wire goes into the top of the plastic connector at the alternator. It looked fine, but on further testing with the VM, he found a weak broken part of the wire right there. He showed a picture with both wires having a very tight bend radius there.
  8. Who did you get them from if you can remember
  9. I like hearing all these stories coming from our members. Makes me feel good in a very special way just reading them.
  10. Thanks for the report Dave and I'm glad you got it.
  11. JAG1 replied to Bacon Creek Metal's topic in Introductions
    a pick up truck always looks cooler with firewood in it.
  12. Dripley said it right when it was time for me to learn how. Man was I a big chicken, but when Dripley said, ''be slow and deliberate'' that caused a flip of the switch and I got after it and went very well. MoparMan was good enough to always pick up the phone every step of the way so I sent him a deserving amount of compensation for helping. The guy has a memory like you and I take pictures.
  13. I'm glad too that all you need still is low top rubber boots.
  14. Abnormal or erratic fuel pressure swings happen more with the newer Raptor 150's. I recently installed a new one to both my trucks and both had the same strange acting pressure swings. Mopar Mike said to run them up and down, high and low on the adjustment screw. This helped a lot, but need to do it seven times instead of one time for better results.
  15. This is my thinking also. I'm learning in recent years to trust shops less and less. I usually call Mopar1973Man for his detailed instructions how to do it myself and then send him some money for his great help, because it always comes out great. Even in the middle of a busey day he will answer your questions if stumped. He is the coolest.
  16. It used to be Oregon allowed poles down 21/2 foot back in the 80's. Sounds like you got good stock for doing it.
  17. Good job Dave. Very diligent. You could tile that since near the stove for heat. Doing both sides for 'hot plate' style tile works well near the stove. I say this also because you got good tile work there. Them chicken claws just the right spacing.
  18. In oregon you have to have 6x6 pt support posts 4 feet in the ground or sheeted walls for lateral. Some posts so tall call for using 6x10 posts.
  19. Before you retire are you going to build a shop or garage?
  20. I had to do that once too. Had 2 feet thick, 10/12 ft wide one thousand foot driveway that took 120 loads when done. We started in good weather everything great. by the time we got up to the homesite there was water squirting out of the ground along the hill. Floods so bad that the power co was disconnecting underground power everywhere in town. It was the hundred year flood that year.
  21. Sometime it like a certain job tells you to just start with square one and get everything set right from the beginning. When everything is all ready including the place your working then everything goes real good from then on.
  22. Just learned today what a 'snowflake' is on the radio while waiting on job for gravel (way too much mud) It's a person that gets offended over just a flea, right? You know like those supposed offensive words.
  23. I'm sorry about your trouble Dave. Sometimes life gives us a task that never goes easy. Are you far from home or have a decent spot to work on it? My garage has a lot in the way, not too bad though and when its raining I put up the picnic canopy because you can adjust the legs down to keep the rain off you. I will use a newr tarp to keep dry underneath
  24. My push lock type fittings had the plastic tabs, not like the ones above. They were all leaking on the isolator and snubber in less than 2 years except the one behind the gauge in the truck. The isolator was causing a bad reading on the gauge, off by 7 psi when tested on the schrader valve under the hood. I decided to not use the isolator and removed it.
