I haven't been around in a long while on a regular basis due to a promotion at work that sucks my soul dry, so a lot of you new kids have never even heard of me. But for those of you that I've known for what feels like an eternity, the time has come that I bid you all farewell. For many...

Hey guys, I also posted in the tech section looking for a 4.6 bosch engine oil sending unit. Rick (Group Captain Mandrake) is stranded in Clarksville and could use a hand. So Clarksville peeps gimme a shout 314-220-4775 or Rick's wife number is 515-371-5675.

Hey all! I haven't disappeared just been super busy with a job promotion, blah blah blah you know how it goes. But that's besides the point. :) Rick (Group Captain Mandrake) is on the road travelling and lost his oil pressure sending unit. He is going to try to limp to St. Louis and I have...

Now that the truck is back on the road, figured I'd work on the 4wd selector, lovingly supplied by Matt since I bent mine. It's been so long since I've had the thing apart that I don't remember what it was like when I took it apart when it was actually working. Now I'm concerned the selector...

Been a while since I've posted as I haven't had much time work on the truck and we've had a ton of rain this fall. Today is awesome so I'm at it again. :) The last time I rebuilt my Rochester due to sitting for many months rotting the gaskets, the truck ran like absolute hell after putting it...

I'm here for training till thursday and a little bored. Work took us to Rock Bottom Grill, or something along those lines, and they sure do let the booze flow freely on the corporate account. Just chillin' at the Hilton now. I'm the only woman in the group so I'm feeling a little out of...

Does anyone know the size of the bolts that hold the manifold to the head? I'm thinking 3/8" fine. Gonna chase 'em before reinstalling the manifold and new gasket. Thanks!

Have you ever had to use Panofite for an ear infection? If so, how do you get rid of the waxy, greasy mess it leaves behind on their fur around the ear area? <---Dewey got a yeasty ear infection and at the end of this week he'll have 2 weeks worth of this nasty shit stuck all around his fuzzy...

Haven't posted a while in technical since it's still a nightmare with my truck. After I put the new synchro in and got it running I drove it to work only 2 miles away, my first "real" drive since fixing it. By the end of the 2nd mile things weren't quite so pleasant. Did some timing...

Any of you geeks got a Nook? I know, I know...a few years ago I was one of the ones on here ranting that I would stick with paper books blah blah blah. But I admit that I am gadget whore and I could no longer restrain myself. So I am here to eat my words and see who else has a Nook Color...

Took my first drive tonight! It's been so long it took me a good block just getting used to shifting and the feel of the throttle again. By the 2nd block it was much better. It's gonna be rough until I get my upper body strength built back up...wonder how much a power steering conversion...

Anyone have a Series gearbox hi/low handle they can sell (the little skinny one)? Pretty please?

Is TLR still in business? I noticed that they have a recent website update and it lists that they are now open w-f. I've been trying to call all morning long but it just rings and rings and rings. When I call their toll free number it says it's been disconnected (unless I fat fingered in the...

I'm finally doing it. Charter has pissed me off enough that I just finished building my first ever HTPC so I can stream video and tv off the net. Being a total noob with this type of PC use, I keep reading about a lot of different OS, front ends, etc. and don't really understand a whole heck...

I think I know why I couldn't shift into 3rd/4th. But what I really want to know is how the hell could this have happened? Check out how the inside outer ring is all chewed up, all the shiny brass showing. The check out the outer edge and look how it's disformed and "pinched." There are a...

Note: these are going on a military truck, so the trim ring set up is totally different than a civilian Series I got a set of Wipac Buckets and good old standard round headlamps to put on my truck. I can see a couple different ways that I can put these things in. If anyone has used them, how...

Apparently I need a hobby because I can't find anything else stupid to worry myself with other than trying to locate someone who makes laptop skins for massive freaking laptops. I traded my beloved 15" with my father-in-law who soon realized he made a huge, pardon the pun, mistake getting an...

Gonna try here too to see if anyone else has any ideas. Last year when I moved, I had to tow the Series to the new house on a 2 wheel dolly. Gearbox was fine before this point. A few weeks ago I finally my got my truck running good enough to be able to drive. Reverse and 1st/2nd are just...

I know there are a lot of law enforcement guys on here so I'll pose a question for something that has been bothering me for a while now. How is the best way to go about reporting suspicious activity that you think could be terrorism related? Especially if it is from a few months ago. It dates...

I know it's silly, but this little gun looks like a blast to shoot. Make fun all you want, but it's cute and I want one. :) 9mm or .40 S&W does not matter to me. Holler if ya got one to sell.
