    member list

    is there a way to view the member list by 'most recent' or something like that? just curious if i could see the 'new exodus' from StopTheDrama as it unfolds... i know i'm doing what i can to create one - hope it helps, as i'll probably get my pee pee whaked soon over there :eek: looks...

    a slight 'Lope' at startup?

    so i've been at work for 11.5 hours, i start up BB this evening to leave at about 9:30, it's about 24* F (maybe the coldest startup this year?)... anyway, she had a slight 'lope' (for lackof a better description) every 10 seconds or so. noticeable by sound as well as a slight, quick dip on...

    saving a post for later?

    is there a way to start a reply to thread (or even a thread) & save it for later before hitting the reply button? other that saving everything in a word doc, i mean... i'm thinking a 'compose & save' button would be nice so i could gather my thoughts (kinda like herding cats cookoo ) &...

    starter...

    just trying to verify before i put it in & can't get my money back - did i get the right starter? it's too cold right now for my skinny butt to crawl under the truck, but it sure seems correct, IIRC. that white paper says: "this is the OEM unit built by Mitsu. see below for other versions...

    could we get a new button?

    at the bottom of the threads? i know i'm just showing my laziness, but i like the 'index' button at the bottom of the page over at TDS... as it stands now, i have to scroll all the way back up to the top of the page to get to the index. the 'index' takes you to a refreshed page, so i try to...

    Truck went down...

    but she didn't stay down for long ;Sweet it was a pure "OH SHIT" event - 70mph on the interstate, i first thought i felt her pulling a bit to the right. then i realized - 'i have no power steering. did i lose the vac pump?' look down & find low volts - 'lost the F'n belt & tensioner again'...

    another IDI drinking WMO

    yes, Big Black is now on a steady diet of waste motor oil at a rate somewhere in the neighborhood of 10:1. i've been following the threads here & over at the drama stop for a while now, & have also been bugging the snot out of Ron asking him questions about his little experiment. a big thanks...

    Happy Birthday Exekiel

    before i order parts...

    when i got home last night, the latest catalog from LMC Truck was in the mailbox, so i opened a cold frosty one & sat down to peruse it... other than a few odds & ends that i'm going to order, 2 thing caught my attention: 1) "Accelerator Cable" $19.95 ('92-'96, $29.95 for '83-'91). Travis...

    2 more flats?

    OK - a little history on Big Black first: 1992.5, N/A 7.3, ZF5, 3.55's, 242k miles, OE IP (never timed), new stanadyne 'E' injectors @ 220k miles. Amsoil A/F, 3" true dual straightpipes, new AL pyro (thermocouple is about 1.5" from manifold),. about a month ago, our own Dsl_Dog_Catcher (Ron...

    true dual exhaust options?

    some may know that last year i had a local shop hack off my downpipe on either side & run 3" duals outside the framerails, dumping in front of the tires(as shown below). i went this 'route' for a few reasons: too cheap & too happy with her for a turbo (for now), cheap & easy way to move air out...

    she performed flawlessly today

    well, i was a little anxious of taking my 13yr old, 236k mile truck on a 380 mile round trip journey today, but man - what a pleasure this ole girl still is to drive :love: was also a little leary of dragging home that Scout with just a towbar & very little towing experience... i barely knew...

    a 2nd International in the stable?

    as i've already posted over at BOOB, i've been offered a '79? Scout II 'project truck' - "cheap". anybody here know Scout's? point me in the direction of a decent Scout forum? i've always loved these, but know less about them than i do women. word is: ran like a champ until parked last year...

    worrisome Blackstone report

    not quite sure what to make of it. i posted a pic over at tds: blackstone2 i have so many questions that i had to make a list - obviously, i'll be calling them tommorow. any experience, advice, comments? i guess i won't be using those extended oil change intervals much longer...

    silly mod, but i'm proud (with pic)

    ok, ok - so it's not a turbo, but i still wanted to share... i found the "badge" that belonged on her grille all along:

    there goes the neighborhood...

    i step out for a minute, & it looks like the extreme makeover crew came in & remodeled my basement. i like what i see so far... maybe i'll stick around. stroker, you can thank this guy for bringing me over...(sorry - LOL couldn't help myself, Trav) nice to see familiar 'faces'... hope i...
