Well mechanic doesnt think headgasket failed. He has on tap new coolant temp sensor, complete coolant flush, Stant SuperStat, PCV, radiator cap, pressure test, and toggle switch for fan.

My 15" LCD monitor somehow crapped out on my computer dont know how all i know is that ill have the new one by Friday according to HP. I love warranties. Right now it works but the color is all black and white with blue tint. Been working on my dads computer. Were pretty sure monitor is gone but wierd thing was when we hooked mine up this morning the computer wouldnt turn that on either. So we went out and i made him buy a "cheap" graphics card just so i could have the monitor input port. I made him get the ATI Radeon 9250 its more than he ever needs. Must have played with it for an hour. Right now i got the broken monitor down here he is going to get an ACER 17" FLat Screen LCD at wal mart tommorow which is great. Does anybody know why like right now i have this LCD in the original monitor hookup but why if i hook the monitor into the graphics card i just get startup screen then blank screen. Not enough power? I know my way around inside but i dont know, i have this ATI Control panel and it says i have that card running i guess its because i didnt have a working second monitor hookedup to it.\\\ Ill let you know how them pics work in two days when i get the monitor ill be able to see color. He is giving me a toggle switch so i can just turn it on which will be insane. So if anyone out there has ideas let me know i can hear the old monitor that he had on this computer sizzle but not turn on lol so i guess its done also he wants me to put in a CDROM that works i guess the one in the front doesnt work right, is that just remove the front case disconnect the cable and install new one?

Well the new project is officially under way.

I've almost got the diesel ready to pull, although it'll stay in there until I'm good and ready.

I also went to the best auto wreck in the area, and have worked out a deal for Jeep differentials. My plans include a solid axle swap, which is stronger.
Plus I can (and will) run lockers on both differentials that way.
Just say that when I get stuck with that setup I'll be really stuck. Good thing that it's easy to find bulldozers around here, and I am trained to run them.

Yesterday I was having some work done at the car dealer.

A woman came in and asked for a seven-hundred-ten. They all looked at each other, and the Mechanic asked, "What is a seven-hundred-ten?"

She replied, "You know, the little piece in the middle of The engine. I lost it and need a new one. It had always been there."

The mechanic gave the woman a piece of paper and a pen and Asked her to draw what the piece looked like. She drew a circle and in the middle of it wrote 710. He then took her over to another car which had the hood up And asked, "Is there a 710 on this car?"

She pointed and said, "Of course, it's right there."

Click here to learn the identity of the mysterious 710:

haha that is great

Hey guys mike has a a problem and is on the road and wont get back till tommorow. His truck threw a code p0184. Also if i heard him correct on phone today he spiked the temp gauge on the s10 2.2 to 240 and he had dexcool everywhere. Guy at autozone tried to tell him p0184 was a tranny code. I checked what it was and through google found it might be a result of gas cap not tight enough. I sent him a text stating to tighten the gas cap and let me know. Also i think maybe his coolant system puked due to being in new mexico. P0184 Fuel Temperature Sensor A Circuit Intermittent
Any ideas he wont be back in till tommorow night i believe he said if ya have anything let me know ill get it to him.

I know that it's a pain in the butt, but tell Mike to only drive after dark, and make sure that his cell has a full charge. Plus bring at least 2 gallons of water.

Driving after dark will help keep his truck cool, and it's worth it even if he has to miss a day of work (I heard him caugh really badly didn't I

)

As brutal as it is he should also drive with the heat on high. And open windows so he don't pass out!!

lol just hit town. spent 3+ hours on the road. Canon city to Aurora. Traffic was a nightmare, stop and go. On average I spent 3 hours driving per day the last week. On last friday spent about 8 hours on the road. I figured the boiling over was due to sitting in the parking lot idiling w/ AC on while on cell (over 90F in the cities we were in. With the gas cap issue, i lost it between Durango CO, and Pagosa Springs CO. Got best gas milage ever (also used super since the ride was paying) 20-24MPG also wondering is speed was a factor, only in towns was I below 50, normally 75-90. I Have 219Mi on the tank right now, barely below half, usually I'd be having maybe a quarter tank. On the way home temp never went past 210, so im sure theres nothing to be concerned about (running AC every once in a while). Put about 1500 miles on the truck. Had a little trouble with the inclines, but all went OK. One of the riders was riding to her hotel, and was hit by an RV, sadly she died on impact. The driver didn't see her and had no clue he had run over a person. http://cbs4denver.com/local/local_story_173190341.html
