I know two (2) such characters if you need any help.

Glad to hear it was resolved. Similar thing happened three weeks ago. When my 17 y.o. daughter looked over my shoulder as I was doing my MBAM and human anti-virus thing, she slugged me on the shoulder, said, "Stay off the porn sites!" and walked away. No amount of explaining has resolved that...

If I had the funds, I'd drop it on one from Ted's right now... been looking for while for a switch-out on the "Beast" sitting in my driveway. As for the "bickering," you all have an idea now, albeit, at a much lesser degree, how they do things in Washington, DC...(or don't get things done).

x3... well said. Ted's Trucks, well done.

Back up to optical media (CD/DVD) provides for "safer" storage of data while in use in the sense that failure of the drive or read/write mechanisms will not corrupt information already burned onto the media. Failures of optical drives do occur and, on rare occasions, require disassembly to...

You do not have to use a "backup" command or program. You can use COPY or XCOPY (preferred because of "verify" switch) from the DOS command prompt. You can use Edit/Copy and Edit/Paste from a Windows Explorer menu bar. You can use freeware backup software. You can use freeware...

I think FB is a great way for some people to find (or to be found by) other people. Personally, I have no use for it and stay off it like it had the plague. However, wife and daughter use it but with security always in mind, and I check. FB is also a great way for dumb MoFos to show their...

x2... Look for "low speed" diesel engine gensets, as in less than 1,800 rpm diesels. "Lister" or "Listeroids" run below 900 rpm, made in India but can be sourced in the U.S. -- are field serviceable, heavy like s**t and are the choice for longevity. Changfa diesels come in different sizes but...

Can you take pics? You cannot knock 24v down to 12v with just a resistor, big or @#$%^&* big... it doesn't work that way. Pic of alternators "wired in series," pics of batteries/connections to alternators, etc. I can try and dig up some schematics but those pictures can tell a story on...

Still here... when barbecue season is over, I pick up a couple of the throw-away charcoal-in-a-tray from the local CVS/RiteAide for "emergency" situations as you described. I place it on top of a long handle shovel to be able to reach easily under the truck. Fire extinguisher handy, of course.

Please check between manifolds and fenders just the same...

x2... White and tan tabby, about 12 lbs, left manifold/fender... Tensioner

Hello Paul, Good luck. Do you have specs on the battery? CCA, reserve, Ah, dimensions? If you provide the model number, we can look it up...

For the stick-on type oil pan heater to last longer, you should "pot" the edges, i.e., run a generouse bead of high quality high heat silicone around the edges of the heater-to the oil pan. This will help seal the edges from the elements and prevent water/debris from getting in between the...

Sweeeet!!! Glad to hear it...

This is going to be interesting...

I carry my Geico insurance policy card (with 24x7 roadside assistance, including towing...already used twice). Just in case I have no cell phone reception, I carry the screw jack that came with my 86 burb (long gone), an 8-ton bottle jack, several blocks of wood (for chocking and increasing...

Glad to hear you're working out your issue. That's a great idea running another 4 ga wire from the alternator to the other battery. If one alt-batt connection ever goes bad, there will be another connection already in place (redundancy)... unless it's the connection at the alternator. Thank...

Pieces of my engine would be all over my neighbourhood at that rpm level, then again, you must be referring to the alternator rpm...

DOHHH! You did say "rotor." My bad, my bad. The larger the radius, the greater orbital speed at the same angular velocity/RPM. Thank you for clarifying that!
