    Backhauls

    You'd think that the people in charge of the backhaul mess, specifically the one who rechanged the password, would think to update that kind of information on the Driver Web. But noooooooo.

    Batteries and Crankinig Amps

    Yeah, that one should work. It's designed for the Bosch and Delco alternators with alternator sensing. Although, you might want to keep a close eye on the charging voltage at the house bank. It's likely to be between .7v and 1.0v less than the alternator is actually putting out. Depending on the...

    50 percent hike in gas tax

    "Turtle, I can wave any flag I choose. I earned that right." You know what? I can wave any flag I want to, too, and I didn't even have to join the military to do it. You can play the "I earned that right" card just so many times before it becomes tiresome and comical. Here's the kicker... "I...

    50 percent hike in gas tax

    It happens on the Net a lot, people making fun of other's names. Those who do so are actually saying a lot more about themselves than they are about those they are making fun of. They make fun of political leaders, and often other members of an online community. It's lameness at its finest...

    Batteries and Crankinig Amps

    Yeah, Hellroaring, or Sure Power for an isolator. You want a true isolator and not a simple continuous duty solenoid. On a Sprinter and a few other vehicles, a battery separator must be used, but most vehicles will use an isolator. Which isolator to get will depend on if your vehicle's charging...

    Excellent. I'm glad you made it. It really is a pretty amazing little combination of very simple seasonings that work magic on most foods.

    Lookout Wally World

    I've been watching Tesco for two years now, ever since they announced they were coming here. I have a friend who works in the office of a local oil company in Cincinnati (Charles probably knows them, Lykins Oil, out of Milford), and they run a few convenience stores. She sent me the story of...

    How Do You Pay Expenses

    It's best to not even try to figure out women. Most times, women don't even know what they want, not really. And when they do figure it out, they change their mind.

    Count 'em again. :) MS Word counted 400, which matches my count, as well. Grammatically speaking, in this grammatical context, sunny-side-up is one word. So is cut-out. On the other hand, "cut - out" is two words, and "sunny - side - up" is three. Both with and without the spaces around the...

    How Do You Pay Expenses

    A proper treatment of Zen and the Art of Frying an Egg would take many thousands of words. But, to summarize, a properly cooked fried egg should not be flipped, and with the yolk unbroken. The egg should be basted with hot oil (butter or lard is best) from the pan to ensure the whites are not...

    Sprinter Used Oil Analysis

    "It's possible I may be able to go even longer than 30K between oil changes." I would think so. Depends on how much new oil it takes to top if off after a TP change, as that alone will extend it a little. Between the OEM and bypass filter changes at regular intervals, and topping it off as...

    It was September 05 that EZ Pass and I-Pass became interchangeable. Before that you had to have separate transponders. Well, in May of 05 the EZ Pass could be used on the I-Pass system, and then in September 05 the I-Pass became functional on the EZ Pass system. Trucks and RV's have to have a...

    Black Men Cannot Build Anything

    Well, Rev Wright mainly just preaches hate. At least Rev Manning preaches the truth, for the most part. He tells it like it is.

    Feedback needed for Sprinter

    HOAT stands for Hybrid Organic Acid Technology. Many newer Ford and Daimler vehicles require HOAT coolant. The other option for coolants is the OAT coolant, OAT standing for Organic Acid Technology. Both HOAT and OAT are a coolant/antifreeze, but that's like saying brake fluid and transmission...

    MAF Sensor

    If you start the engine enough times, the engine light will go out. It's best to just clear the code. The auto parts store should be able to do that. I have a Scanguage II that will do that. Not sure if removing the battery will do that or not, as I've never done that. Just cleaning the MAF...

    Feedback needed for Sprinter

    RLENT: Yeah, mine says the same thing, both distilled and low mineral. Whether distilled or filtered for low mineral (or mineral free), that's the key. No point in introducing minerals that just make corrosion's job that much easier. "Interestingly, they say 100K mile life in the above -...

    Feedback needed for Sprinter

    Yeah, 100% coolant will freeze rather quickly. I'm assuming you're using good, high quality coolant, like Mopar 05066386AA or equivalent (Glysantin G05, Zerez G05, Zerex G48, BASF AG, or the Euro Peak stuff, all MB Spec 325.0) A 50/50 mix will get you down to -34 degrees F. A 60/40 mix...
