Not GM but Chevy
The plugs have only been in the truck since last August. So its only been like 9 months. But if the plugs were the problem, the codes would have been thrown a long time ago... I guess for his truck the gap is .045". Hes going to do the fuel filter today and run it to the auto store to check codes again. More to come...

911 help, dying computer, how to quick backup everything?
I can't remember what software it was, but I got it for my desktop pc I have and I used it to overclock my GPU. It was nice too, cause it would allow me to monitor everything on the pc. It would even let me control the fans speed % and set it to be whatever I wanted at whatever heat.

Missing Flight 270
Planes are dictated by many things. One of them is air... A plane cannot fly without air. What do I mean? You need oxygen for the engines to burn fuel to propel the plane. You also most importantly need air to be able to create lift for the plane. Either one lacks air, you get a stall... Not to mention, a 777 is nowhere near capable of being to maintain anything of itself in space if it were possible for it to go into space! Spacecraft use fuel that has oxidizers to allow it to burn the fuel in outer space. Nozzles are used to create the thrust. You need an oxygen supply to breathe in space as well. I highly doubt a 777 is sealed well enough to overcome the vacuum of space enough to not explosively decompress... I have another idea, why don't you consider this: http://www.prisonplanet.com/alex-jones-on-possible-hijacking-of-malaysia-airliner.html http://www.prisonplanet.com/rep-rogers-government-investigating-terrorism-and-national-security-in-missing-flight.html http://www.prisonplanet.com/flight-370-passengers-may-still-be-alive-pirated-boeing-777-may-return-to-skies-as-stealth-nuclear-weapon.html http://www.prisonplanet.com/finally-a-plausible-scenario-of-what-happened-to-flight-370.html

I might have you help me with that one if I get me a new laptop, Mike!

I've seen those videos, pretty crazy what they can do. Now, to have your own UAV!

Anyone here a woodworker?
Yes! Its very satisfying to have a working table saw this will do the job that I want it to! Definitely, being that I have a good construction background, the use of power tools is nothing new to me. But that never gives me a reason to cut corners. I'm surprised that with as much guff I gave my coworkers on the jobsites that they did not start calling me Mr. Safety! Funny you mention that. Had a coworker on a job that came back from the weekend to find out he almost cut two of his fingers off using his table saw at home! It was pretty bad even after he was able to take his bandages off! Had a kid in school that almost had all his fingers severed off on one hand trying to fix a chain on a pit bike once. That looked pretty bad too! Ugh, I could not imagine the type of pain that would produce after the adrenaline wore off! I've never been much of a person to do woodwork, but I sure do like building things! I ran out of wood last night using the saw and was pretty bummed out! I got into a pretty good flow putting the boxes together. I was just watching a video last night that gave numbers on honey production in ND! I was shocked! I'm not sure if I would want to ever pursue doing honey in ND. I'd probably look at doing pollination if anything. But hey, if I have that much capital to do pollination, I'd probably be doing the honey thing, too! http://www.honey.com/newsroom/press-kits/honey-industry-facts

Well, my FIL decided to go out and tinker on his truck... Went and bought everything required for a typical tune up... He changed the air filter and said that it looked like the sahara desert! Then he did the plugs and wires and broke the last plug on the back of the engine. Still has the 6-point on it to receive the socket so I should be able to get it out for him. Hes broken, literally, so he cannot do it physically. I'm really surprised he got as much done as he did. So, I'm gonna go out there and finish it for him. Just need to double check his work and get that plug changed and do the fuel filter. Apparently the CEL is not on, but I told them that after this, they need to go back to the auto store and have it checked for codes and clear them to see if it comes back. That way, I can no for sure if this is still an on-going problem or if it was just an old code. I guess the place they got this tuned up at really screwed them over. The guy only did half his job and used the wrong plugs with a HUGE gap. I was thinking it was some sort of emissions thing as well. But since they already bought parts, I'm gonna start from there...

Looking at going to 19.5" wheels and tires.
Well, this is the sort of thing I'm good at doing, cost anaylsis! It sounds like its worth dropping the initial amount of greens for how long of life you will get out of them!

I haven't told anybody! No one knows about it through me, lol!

Alright fellas! Got the saw home and put it together! I'm really impressed with the saw! It even came with a 40T ripping blade that I used instead and it does REALLY well! Yep, I think the saw is a keeper! Its got a 3.5" cut depth at 90 degrees and I can rip my wood down and split it on the last pass! Its got a good enough finish after ripping it that I do not think I would need a planer. If I start selling my boxes, I'll probably get one then... The riving knife is a big plus too. I shoved a 2x8 through at full height and it took them pretty good! The last piece I did this with though, I think I got the blade too hot. The thermal overload kicked and stopped the saw. So on the old saw it took me like 6 passes to rip one side at a time. Now I can do it in 3! I'm going to try and be as easy on the saw as possible.. If anyone needs a table saw, I would highly recommend this table saw, so far!

Haha, but like I said, supposedly... They did not even know how to calculate fuel mileage until they met me...

Anyone here a woodworker?
Duly noted! I'm nowhere near Portland. Im in N. ID. Its 130am here. Just got back from having a date night with the wifey! I figured it had to be something about the wood itself as well. I believe I picked out doug fir and not hemlock. I was warned by some beekeepers on another forum about using hemlock... I believe I picked out #2 grade red fir. I may try sourcing out some cedar as time goes on as we have alot of cedar around this area. I may be able to get my hands on some butts or culls. Back in the Spokane area, its full of that nasty pine! Growing up, I always and still do despise the pine! Sucked raking the needles, sucked burning it, and sucks looking at it. I guess it may be useful in some furniture building... Wait, I don't even ever remember giving my phone number out? lol! PM me about this if you can... On a side note, I got the wife to let me spend some money on a new table saw. Its something we can say that it is ours and don't have to worry about having one. I've read reviews on it and its pretty good for the money: http://www.portercable.com/Products/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=31462 Heres to hoping it gives me many many years of good use out of it!

Whoa! Man those are some spendy tires! Not bad for the rims, though!

They had a recent tune up that included a fuel filter change, spark plugs and air filter. Would the wrong type of spark plug such as gap or makeup/design throw such a code?

About that high idle kit
Haha, well if you get to talking to Ed for a little, he may just spill the beans! He went from telling me he could not say much because of patents, but by the time we got off the phone, I think he was so excited about it he just had to tell me! lol... don't worry Ed! The secret is safe with me! Not that I know enough anyways as I could never make such a thing happen in record time. The man is leaps and bounds ahead of us! All I can say is, if/when Ed gets the whole horse and pony show rolling, I will be giving him some of my hard earned money! I will be very happy to see it be successful! Especially since I made such a wise decision to buy one of these cummins when I did!

Time to put the RV on a diet?!
Must be quit a bit of stuff! Heck, when I pulled the trailer to Yakima for work, we had everything needed to live in it without having to go to the store to get by. Groceriers, etc were a diff. story, but we only were around 900 pounds! I don't see what affect it would have if you were over GVWR? When I pull mine, I'm over automatically...

I just put my comp back on 5x5 today, it was on 5x1 before. Amazingly, I had very little smoke on accel! On a pretty good pull, I jad 35psi of boost, 1300 egts and was going 65 in nothing flat! I forgot how much power and how hard it acceled on 5x5!

Yea, I measue from the fore and aft of the blade teeth to the fence. Then I measure the distance of the fence to the channels for the miter gauge so I have a better measure since the two points are longer. I did not bother with a speedsquare, guess I'll need to check that one as well. I've got a router and table as well. Maybe I will have to experiment a little with that as well. What time zone are you in? I dunno why my PM does not work? I'm going to be out for the day spending time with the wife so I probably cannot talk. I'm up during the night and asleep during the day for the most part as I work night shift. They do need to be a certain size to hold the frames, yes. But its also not rocketscience to build one either. I'm saving HUGE on building my own boxes. I can almost build three for the price of the cheapest ONE I have found so far. I've got plans for building my frames as well that will be CENTS on the dollar! I do not have as much money to throw around as other beeks so I'm improvising. I have no real plans on buying equipment, ever. There may be some that I may not have time or knowledge to build that I will buy, but it can all be overcome. I do have to sacrifice some, and the ripped 2x8 into a 1x8 is not truly a dimensionial 1x. Its very close, like a 1/16th" close. It does not bother me much as like I said, its saving me alot of money. I have no idea how I could expect to rip a whole 2x8x8 with a table saw. I would need at the very least a bandsaw that could take a 7 1/2" board. I've got my meatsaw! But I would have to un-bury that thing and make some sort of jig to help feed the board through. A better idea would be to have a mill, but I'm doing this on budget at the moment. So are we all agreeing on a consensus its the table saw? More ammo to tell the wife I want a table saw of my own! I do notice one thing. I'm very confident that the brand new DIABLO blade is true. But when I run it on the table saw, I do notice a slight bit of wobble to it. So that leads me to think there is something up with the motor/arbor, etc...

911 help, dying computer, how to quick backup everything?
During bootup process, look for the function key to press to go into setup, etc. Theres usually only two function kets that you press during bootup. On one of them, it should be able to allow you to rolld back to last known good congifuration. This should revert you back BEFORE the updates that you took that may have caused the BSOD in the first place.

Well, if I had a smoke machine that would be the way to go. Little spendy for one diagnosis though... maybe I can find a poor mans version of doing it...
