I went to a Central MS DU shooting event today, and I wasn't quite as bad at traps as I was with skeets. Either way I suck, but then again this is the 2nd time for me to shoot skeets, and the first time to shoot sporting clays. I scored a 5 out of 50 on the skeets and a 14 out of 50 on the...

For quite a while I noticed that my coolant temperature has been really low. In fact, it's been so low that that with the cooler weather that my needle never gets near the normal zone, and a closed loop code pops up due to low tempeature. At first, I thought that it was the temperature sensor...

Well, I have a problem with the Mountaineer keeping the engine running. So far, I have changed the fuel filter, and I know that I am getting 40 psi at the test port on the fuel rail. I cleaned the IAC, and I changed the air filter just in case. I plugged in the backup computer just in case it...

Danny was great to work with and communicated during the whole transaction. The tires came better than I expected with 2 months wear. :D

For you tennis fans, Andy Roddick just won his first Grand Slam quarterfinal match ever at the Australian Open today with an amazing 5th set against El Aynaoui 4-6, 7-6 (5), 4-6, 6-4, 21-19 in 5 hours. Yes, this is the longest 5th set ever in a Grand Slam, and the time is correct. I remember...

I found out at work today that the company will pay for me to go to the 2003 Detroit Auto Show while I'm in Auburn Hills, MI Jan. 13-17 for more ABB Robot Training. Actually, they might change my flight from Sunday to Saturday Jan. 11 as well. I don't know if we will get tickets through Tower...

I'm about to order the ceramic coated FMS headers for GT-40P heads, and I was wondering what size gaskets are on the collectors and other exhaust flanges leading up to the mufflers. I figured that while I'm trying to fix my exhaust leak, caused by the headers that I might as well eliminate...

I noticed that the Uniden 2.4 GHz phone was interfering with the Wi-Fi network here at the house. This phone seemed to default to what seems to be the Wi-Fi Ch 11, so I changed the Wi-Fi to Ch 9. I may change to Ch 3 or 4 later if it interferes with Ch 9 tonight like it did once last night...

OK, how many of you have been called a redneck by friends and/or family, think you are a redneck, do redneck activities, or want to be a redneck? Naturally, the term "redneck" doesn't mean the same as it did in the past, but it seems that most of my friends call me a redneck and are rednecks...

Although I have seen several threads on 1/4-mile times, for some reason I couldn't find one that was a true poll. (Yes, I did search, but it might not have queried the right data.) My best run was a 16.496s at 81.25 mph in October 2000 at Tuscola Motorsports in Lena, MS, and the Mountaineer...

Tentatively, I am supposed to be in Auburn Hills, MI during the 2nd and 3rd weeks in December training at ABB due to work. So, what are some places and events that I need to check out during that time. What cities is Auburn Hills near? I'm from Mississippi if you want to know why I sound...

Tower Automotive in Madison, MS made me an offer this week. It's only been 5 1/2 months since graduated with my BSEE, so I guess the economy isn't too bad. Of course, the Nissan plant helps, but I didn't like Nissan's package. If I accept the offer by the end of the week, I will start working...

It sucks! :shoot: Go ahead and plan two days with a little help with the dash and the ductwork. You will also need to be sure to have plenty of extensions and u-joints for your 1/4" and 3/8" socket sets. Also, take your time. I did, and the only things that still aren't right are that my...

How did you get the plenum out? I believe that I loosened all nuts and bolts, but the plenum seems stuck. It doesn't even seem as if the heater core is causing it to stick either. If this helps the blower motor and evaporator core housing does pull out. I also got the one nut that is behind...

It's not exactly the car of choice for me, but once I got use to some of the controls (which some are similar to Ford instead of other GM vehicles), not too bad. I had to finish the drive back from the coast last night after helping my relatives who were in charge of inventory for a dealership...

OK, I found this interesting in the latest issue of Car & Driver. The 2003 Accord EX V-6 was tested with a braking 70-0 distance of 209 ft. The other cars in the test group stop as follows: Pontiac Grand Prix GTP 189 ft. Toyota Camry XLE V-6 191 ft. Nissan Altima 3.5SE 192 ft. Here's...

Please don't flame me here! :o My mom and dad own Chevy's, and I need to get some good tech info from those sites. I need to keep a '91 S-10 Blazer and '98 Astro from taking big dumps. :fart: I figure transmission fluid changes for both, and then more info on the valve clatter on the Blazer...

I'm wondering if this is a misprint or not. Does a 4L60E in a '98 Chevy Astro really use just 5 quarts of ATF, including the torque converter? I need to change it on my mom's Astro since it sound like it's about to take a dump at less than 37k miles. Unfortunately, it doesn't have the...

Yes, I found a commercial on TV the other day advertising Lord of the Rings on DVD or VHS if I test drive a Kia. Now, here's what I'm curious about: Which Kia do I test drive? Sure, I can test drive any one of them, but which one is actually worth my time? Sedona (minivan) 3.5L V6 195 HP...

The other day on an hour long trip on the interstate, I noticed that I got plenty of cold air for me and my passengers when the AC was on Max, but nothing but hot air on the regular AC setting. Towards the end of the trip to the destination and on the way back, we would have to turn the air...

Hey, for those of you that have changed the PCV on a 5.0L V8 Explorer or Mountaineer, how in the world did you get to it without taking off the upper intake manifold or cutting a hole through the firewall? I'm having a hard time trying to get to mine although I can see it from underneath the...

Sold a my old trust P233MMX desktop to a guy in Pearl, MS today for the grand total of $200. This didn't include a monitor, but it I did let my 4x4x16 CD-R/W go. Now, I can get a new USB 2.0 CD-R/W for my laptop. :D It definitely feels good get rid of something to make way for other...

jjue -- Jackson, MS OK, here a picture of my Mountaineer. I'm sorry that it's a little dirty, but it has traveled over 2000 miles in the last 2 weeks, and that includes a romp in the North Georgia Mountains one day last week. Here's my picture from last week. This is Terrace Level at...

OK, I happened to have ripped this cover off fording a body of water in the North Georgia Mountains looking for one of the waterfalls. This is where the cover formerly resided. I believe that with the extra stress from one of the tabs being broken off from the previous whoops and the...

This one is making me mad and hasn't made much sense yet. Here's the scenario: 1. MS Office XPdocuments will get the "script mode disabled" or whatever error whenever I try to open a file. 2. MS Outlook XP will lockup whenever I try to look or send a message with an attachment or high...
