    GPS for Laptop?

    phatTweaker I found that the maps in S&T are not as acurate as they should be, there is a problem with the Geospatial calculations made to determine the locations of things with the Map Point engine which S&T is based on. I tried to figure out why there is a road in the middle of a field when I...

    The Cost of Fuel is getting Crazy

    Well the problem is that most of what we are seeing is on the futures market, not the spot market. The spot market follows the futures to a point. It is a very complicated and somewhat convoluted way of thinking and very emotional. Most of the markets are driven by emotion and that is why they...

    RE: Don't try and go into business RE: Training a dieselphreak2K A bit of advice; Business and friend rarely mix. This is your career, not his unless he wants to put in 110% and immediately want to take it upon himself to learn, nothing will ever come about it. Been there done that. As...

    Gm's In-tank fuel filter

    you know that the first printings of the repair manual for 2003 and 2004 both have the filter on the frame rail. I don't have access to a copy of the second printings to see if there are corrections if they even exist. I am wondering about this, if the filter is in front of the pump. If it is a...

    Did you noticed America was shut down today?

    Not to insult you, but there is no – absolutely no correlation between the institute of slavery/indentured servitude and the invader problem.

    Well.... I don't know what to say. I think I wasn't clear about it. The issue for me is that I want to go on a vacation with the wife to that part of the country and justifying a trip camping and enjoying the outdoors instead of Vagas or SF. She does not travel with me at all, even ride in the...

    Gm's In-tank fuel filter

    Ahhh, I need to read the post when I am awake. The filter in the tank should only be changed if there is a lot of c**p in the tank and it is clogged. The fuel pump on the other hand is a pain, which you already know about - I don't have to deal with on a diesel. the inline filter should be...

    Well regardless what the intentions were, I liked to hear about that part of Canada and now put that on my want to do before I croak list or for a travel log of some sort. Seeing my in-laws are from Maine and French Quebec, I have more weight with the wife for a trip like that than I would to...

    Fuel Islands Warning Signs.

    I agree with Terry, the fact that there is a sign does not circumvent the owner's responsiblility. If an employee is informed, then it is on them to clean the spill and prevent an injury. Here in Michigan even if the sign is posted and there is no resonable attempt to clean a spill or fix a...
