I used to have a .50. Sold it when I was desperate for cash. Now I am shopping for another one to replace it. But also considering the S&W50,

Some people pop in and out in just a few seconds. If I have the time to chat I will often start chat and it may be several hours till some one pops in. Some pop in, say "Hi" and are gone if I don't answer in a couple of seconds. I could be doing something on the other side of the house and it might take a couple of minutes to get back to the puter to answer.

First question, Is your converter rated for LEDs? Some are not and will not work correctly with low power draw of LEDs. Do you have a powered converter? If so is the power and ground wires solidly and properly connected? Is the fuse still good? If you have 12V going into the converter and 8.5 coming out, my guess would be a bad converter.

I have already explained what I will and will not eat to the MIL. I still have not found anyone that did not like my cooking. Even when I make something they thought they don't like. As long as they ate it before they found out what it was. I guess either my taste is adequately varied or I've been lucky. No one ever made me anything real scarey, But I aint never going to Iceland......... That food that I have heard of scares me.

But they do make a .50.

Welcome aboard the loony train...... Now.....as long as your here...........

NNOOOoooooo.......... I'll go broke in a heartbeat.........

I guess the thing to help make the decision is some research into the new company. Are they hiering because some one left, or cuz their growing. If it is cuz someone left, WHY did they leave? In other words, how stable and secure is the new place?

:sign yeah that: I do remember reading that one somewhere. It is as good as any of the commercial penetrating oils. So are you saying that your mind is really deep??? Like a bottomless pit?? once something goes in it never comes out???

I'm cleaning again. This is always a dangerous thing. I have a HP Color Laser Jet 2600n printer that I will give free for the taking. I am only replacing it because I needed a color laser printer / fax / copier / scanner. It does still work. It will not be long before it will need a black toner cartridge. Just call to be sure I am home before you come. My number is in my profile. If no one here wants it it will go to some local charity that picks up stuff.

OK I did figure out how to break a tool. I did this on purpose, it is not indicating a flaw. What I did was ti set the tool into position and start turning the cam. Once you get to the point where the buckets are fully compressed the center of the tool will also touch a rib in the head casting. It looks to me that that rib is there just for this purpose. IF you continue to turn the cam past this point, all of the force goes to that narrow spot on the tool and it will snap in half. If the tool did not break at this point and under these conditions, "something" else in the cam train would have to break. Either the chain or one of the sprockets. All of the engine parts that could break cost a LOT more than the tool to replace. So it kind of works out that the tool is the weak sacrificial link to save the engine parts. I could also see this happening if the tool was not centered properly. But I don't want to break another tool to find out.

lonestarmedic is the other guy that was making cables once upon a time. The last I heard (back in 2010) he had bought a bunch of materials for cables but never made them. You may want to contact him to see where he is at.

Unfortunately there are pics. VERY scary!!! DON'T ask.........

You can get it from a lot of places. You want 4AWG welding cable or battery cable. One place is McMaster-Carr #6948K921 for black and #6948K922 for red. You can also find the terminals there. Most places that sell Marine supplies or parts for custom car building will have it.

Naaaa...... Simply is not a pygmy as far as I know ......

This used to be such a nice PG13 site. Now there seems to be a lot of nekid pics showing up lately. Don't forget the pics once she is all dressed back up.

It is not "hard" to change out, but it is a PITA because of all the stuff that has to come off to get to it.

It depends on if you have the original Krispy Kreem calender or one of those made by a third party that just used the name........

That plastic thermo cover sitting an inch behind the exhaust pipe has been known to warp and leak.

At the time that "I was in there" cash was short so I did the ground wire mod, and that helped the slow starting a lot. Next on the list is to upgrade to 4 AWG welding wire for the starter circuit.

I'm driving a nice dumb 96 GMC that I bought new in 95. Still drives as good as new with a mere 300K miles on the clock. I have no plans to replace it. After all it is the newest vehicle I own. I guess I have a ways to go to catch up to this guy.

Did you have the thermo cover off? If so did you replace the O-ring with a new one of the correct size?

Are you sure you really want to walk right into this? Somehow I just knew this thread would head right for the toilet.

It's bad enough that we have to worry about the pond monsters, now this too.....

If someone has a VIN and a name and/or address and/or phone number, there are problems that they can cause if they really want to go through the effort.
