That sucks, dude. Glad to hear everyone is OK though!

Still sick from his adventures with "the chef". I was interneting and my wife was watching grim or some absurdly stupid something or other. I looked up and saw Mr T Bullshit. You are a network TV guru and you know it... Sounds like an offer Fun car. Stout engine too. The run hard for little V6s.

Generally not a lot. 30Ks are just quick look overs, really. There is no flushing a transfer case, it is just a drain and fill. As mentioned, there are a ton of transfers running around with factory fluid in them, but IMO it is just a tiny amount of money for fluid, and just a few minutes to drain and fill the unit. It doesn't matter how often you use it, it is always in motion as you drive.

Robin is funny, Dice is not. As a New Yorker, I heard all his shit when I was in 2nd grade.... years before he did it stand up. It is a Holden. The interiors are nicer then the typical Chevy. I really appreciated that.

Maybe true, but very hard to believe. Matrix were known for their lack of reliability. Bill Cosby can not be lumped in with those morons! You have never seen him in his prime. i saw this and it was ok but nowhere near will ferrell funny You, sir, are truly a moron. Truth. Even cartoons today suck dick. We grew up with Tom and Jerry, and Looney Tunes, among other greats. Today kids are watching mindless episodes of Spongebob and the Fairly Odd Parents... Sam is fuckin awesome. Don't forget Eddie Murphy, Dennis Leary and Bob Nelson...

I don't joke when it comes to offering friends advice about fixing their vehicles... And I wasn't joking with you, either LOL

i can't say it enough, i fucking hate drunk drivers!!! i drink a lot, but i would never hop in my vehicle or anybody elses if there was a person who had more than 1 12oz beer behind the wheel. that does piss me off, the guy was working to try to help somebody else and some drunk kills him.Correct me if wrong but wasn't it you who was bragging about downing 2 pitchers before leaving one night and not blowing above the legal limit??? J LOL! Doubt it is lock up shudder in 2nd. Lockup only occurs in drive and OD (whatever your top 2 gears are) as it can really cause issues with drivability in low gear. If you want a quick cure all, put in Dr Tranny's Shudder Fix . It will help with most clutch grab/shudder/slippage issues. Awesome. I know nothing of torque converters, just felt like what I thought it could be.Is the shudder fix a joke?? *I had my Uncle reset the transmission computer and guess what. Shudder is gone, err, almost. It used to do it 20 times in 5 minutes, now did it once in an hour. But seriously, is the shudder fix a joke. I already changed his blinker fluid. No joke. Fluids have a tremendous effect on transmission operation, and Mr Tranny's is really some of the best publicly available shudder fix on the market. If you know a mechanic, look into Wynn's Shudder Guard. It is the best, but it is not easy to come by. As a general rule I am not a fan of snake oil, but this shit works.

I have found Montrails to be some of the most comfortable cross trainers I have ever worn. Can't remember the model. Ugly as fuck, but it was like walking on clouds. I also liked my Solomon XA Pro 3D Ultras. BUt the fucking retarded tie broke. They don't have regular laces, either. I am currently in Northface Hedgehog III XCRs. They are decent, but just a cunt hair too narrow for my wide pronated feet. FWIW, I have found Merrell to be the most uncomfortable shoes ever.

Awesome.... just awesome.

I still have 4 and 8 mg dilaudeds, and 120mg morphine pills from when I was sick.

That sucks! Hope it wasn't yours... LoL How do I unclog? Sometimes you get lucky and you can backflush it. Otherwise the dash is coming out for HC replacement.

That sucks! Hope it wasn't yours... Welcome to the world of Ford. Clogged heater core I bet.

Mid 50's here today too. In N MN it might hit high 30's today though. At this point I still wish I lived up there, but in a week or two that'll change back No shit? We had fucking snow yesterday. I'll take your 50s and give you our snow.

I wanted to suggest steering clear of the Jeep based on long term ownership. If I get one it'll be an SRT...and under warranty the whole time I own it. I thought you were looking based on the prospect of buying it outright after the lease period. If so, I would think twice. If not, 36K ownership should be OK. Ah, indeed. Sorry, that is if I bought something cheap.Was hoping that I could buy something (including mods) for $30k. At the end of the lease then I'd buy it for $5k or less and keep it. Being the Jeep will be $45k at the end of the lease it'll be $25k which means I run the fuck away. Same with my ML or the X6, X5M. Got ya. Short term a Jeep is nice. But as a friend, I suggest against long term ownership. Keep in mind, I see them in the stalls. Not every vehicle will suffer the things I see in my stall. But when I see pattern failures the vehicles I see them on stand out in my head. For a solid older truck, look at mid-late 90s K2500 HDs with the 454 and Alison tranny. Strong tug trucks and super reliable.

Jeeps are nice vehicles. They look nice, they ride nice, they are well appointed... But everything under the hood is shit. Honestly in the price range Chryslers are nice from a user's perspective. Their minivans are nice, their performance cars (aside from the Viper which IMO is a cheap feeling piece of shit) are really not bad from a price/performance standpoint, their sport utes and crossovers are (were) not bad. From a diagnostic standpoint, they are really decent. They offer a lot of information and bi-directional controls. Modules are easy to access, codes set fast and are retained for long periods of time, and faults trigger pending codes immediately. Honestly, aside from GM, they are some of my favorite vehicles to diagnose. But I am a GM trained master tech, so they are second nature to me. But they suck. They are poorly engineered, and suffer the most bizarre failures, and they are consistent repeat failures. I mean HIGH failure rates. i have tried to help him from the day he came here... but it has had this personal hard on for me.. im not sure why... from what i have gathered from his rants hes mad because im fat and because i have too big of an amp and not enough speaker for it. oh and that my car has factory paint... it really bugs him . We all do John, you are one sexy bitch.

Thank God I got the nice skid, I needed it tonight.

Buried my bike tonight. Poor girl is covered in mud. Had some real fun, but found out I cannot cross the stream where I had hoped to.

As a former crackhead who lived in Buffalo NY I heartily recommend Lip Medex. http://www.walgreens.com/store/c/blistex-lip-medex-analgesic-lip-protectant/ID=prod1388-product?ext=gooPersonal_Care_PLA_Lip_Balm_prod1388_pla&adtype={adtype}&kpid=prod1388&sst=781c7b38-7e37-4089-723f-000001c48a28 Best to stop sucking on dicks. I laughed a little.

Then what causes it? Based on no solid time use? True. Based upon initial use and added to with recommendations/usage from others I work with? Yes Fair enough I have no problem navigating over 300 albums on my iPod touch. But is it worth the hassle to have to go 'freeware' hunting every time they try to patch something and fuck it up worse? I just have been getting sick of windows as of late. Especially with their issues. As for the free wi-fi that is usually true. But other spots it doesn't exist. The other cellular data deal is because a lot of my travel will be by car or plane in the next year. I've been offered a few positions that will require numerous travel, and sometimes hunting for wi-fi will be more trouble than its worth IMHO. J I think it depends on the device manufacturer and how they implement the OS with their device. I know people who have crashes on an LG Droid device on the daily, but I think my HTC has crashed maybe 3 times in 2 years, and yes I have done all updates and no root. My Galaxy Tablet is stable as well, but it has already crashed once in 5 months... which IMO isn't bad with the use it gets. Every device will have issues, of course. Don't expect an iPad to be trouble free. As far as travel, I have a hotspot I use for side work. I keep my scanner hooked up to it and my PC just so I can access service info when necessary. I also use it with my Tablet when on the road, just in case. But honestly, I think it is all a matter of preference. If you like the Apple device, buy it. If you like droids, buy a solid device, not a cheap POS. I promise you that neither device will be perfect. The bottom line is, we all have differing goals, needs, and interface preferences. Sean's idea of perfect is different from mine, which is different from Stephan's, which is likely different from yours. Sean and I like droids better, so of course we will steer you towards droid devices. Stephan likes Apple, so he will steer you there.

What kind of phone do you have? If you have an android, IMO You would be better going with a Windows 8 Tablet for compatibility reasons. iPads are nice, but if your phone is Droid based, I would personally own a droid. In most cases paid apps will carry over from your phone to your tab and vice versa. Also any free apps will carry over. You can swing your memory card from device to device as well. Aside from those things there is no reason not to grab an iPad. I am not a fan of the Apple machine, but they make nice personal devices. My mother has had a couple generations of iPads, and they certainly impressed me. Messing around with hers was what led me to snag a Galaxy. I think what it boils down to is, do you want to spend the extra money? Would you like compatibility between devices (if you also have a droid phone)? Apple, HTC, and Samsung all make solid products and none would be a disappointment.

Fuckin awesome gift They are farmed out, of course, but not all to one cheesy hong kong factory.

. It doesn't, it meters the mass. It measures airspeed and relative mass. Basically the reality is the ECU uses an algorithm to calculate the mass of the air based on the airspeed (and of course using a barometric pressure reading to calculate said algorithm). It typically does this by heating a film or wire and maintaining the temperature of this wire/film. Mfgs typically determine the current required to maintain this temp or the frequency required to maintain it if they opt to keep current low by using a duty cycle based heater. In the past manufacturers used a vane air flow sensor which was a spring loaded door that used a variable resistor for sensor feedback.
