Remanufactured alternators are generally fine, as they have regular pulleys on them. But alternators with a decoupler pulley, well, most of those reman units come without the decoupler pulley, for good reason - few know how to install those pulleys properly. If I were to get a reman Sprinter...

First piece of advice would be to dismiss any thoughts you may have about running all that crap off an inverter connected to your starting battery. Can't be done, so don't even think about it anymore. You'll need a separate auxiliary battery bank. A 1500 Watt inverter will be plenty to run all...

I have the original Droid, and will be getting a Droid Bionic. The best inexpensive plan is probably the plan you've already got, since it includes unlimited data on the phone. If you change plans, you lose that and will have to go to a tiered plan. You can get a new phone and keep your...

There's an antique shop a few miles south of where I live. Out front they have a sign that says, "Antiques Made While You Wait". I'm not exactly sure what the implications of that are, but I think the same critical thought went into it as the online auction sign above.

I dunno, I've had one service failure, also due to mechanical failure, which resulted in a late delivery. I've never bothered to figure the percentage, tho it would be easy enough to do, but I'd say my on-time percentage is in the same ballpark as the ATeam's. Other than that, I've never been...

What kind of features is your smartphone lacking? At this point, pretty much all smarphones have more or less all the same features.

The link was a blatant ad for his dealership in NE Ohio. Thanks for making an uninformed assumption, tho.

Turtle Wax Liquid Clay Bar, and Turtle Wax Ice. The Turtle thing is just a coincidence. Really. :D

Landscaping expediters are all the rage right now.

It's a structured situation where bad literature is used to toy with people's emotions to make a redundant statement which we all already know about the evils of drunk driving. But more than that, it's bad fiction at its finest. The grandmother has to leave the child alone in order to develop...

You can get a bluetooth keyboard for use with the Bionic. ;)

Sorry, couldn't help it. :D

I'm in Wisconsin....

I had one do that. On mine, the arm that goes up to the pulley itself snapped off, in violent fashion. Depending on where and how it snapped, it may very well be the decoupler pulley on the alternator. That pulley should turn with a little resistance in one direction (the direction that turns...

50 MPH routing with no accounted time for loading can't help but to encourage speeding, simply in order to make up the non-driving time necessary for loading, fueling, cargo inspections and other non-driving essentials like going to the restroom. I'm not speeding, but I now find myself having to...

Well, BS 5750 was based on DoD production military specs from the 1950s and the 1970s (one of which contains the mil specs for AGM batteries, incidentally), and only deals with the product itself, with standards for quality assurance in design, development, production, installation, and...

Far as I know, Levin is a loud and proud self-proclaimed Reagan Conservative. Yet, Reagan was a neocon. Reagan never succeeded in eliminating a single government program, much less an entire agency, and federal spending increased exponentially under his watch. That's neoconservatism at its...

I don't know if it's "most" or not, but I'm beginning to wonder if all the Alliance members aren't booked at 50 MPH and have no 15 minute window. Both of those things are, IMHO, ignorant and a little retarded. It's completely ignorant to figure loading time as actual driving time, because you're...
