Anybody still checking the forums? Drop in and say "hi".

For those of you following, we've had some major issues over the last month or two. I've just completed an update to the latest version of the forum software that fixes our PHP compatibility issues (the previous version was from 10 years ago). Everything should be working now. If you encounter any i...

I may not win the award for resurrecting the oldest dead thread, but I'm gonna give it my best shot. :rock: With the 10 year anniversary of my CrewCab "trade in" coming up, I've been feeling a bit sentimental.... I guess I'll continue the story where the thread left off in July of 2008. In August, a...

Yea the simulator sucks. The quad is super easy to fly, you just have to read up on it and do your calibrations.

The Pro is a better deal. The remote and video streaming setup is slightly better than the advanced. Also the camera is a little better for video. It's worth the couple hundred dollar difference. The Pro also comes with a better/faster charger. Batteries are the same. Don't do a DIY. You'll pay a lo...

Now is the perfect time. They've discounted the DJI Phantom 3 Pros now that the Phantom 4 is out. The 3 Pro is the way to go.

Been a loooong time. Thought I'd pop back in and see how everyone is doing... I still see a few crews on the road every now and then... but with my current job, 13-15 mpg would be a very bad thing.

Welcome back! For anyone who wasn't aware, the site has been down since last Thursday, April 30. The culprit was malware attack that injected code into quite a few php files on the server.

I recently acquired a 120 psi 60 gallon air compressor. I'm looking for a decent impact wrench for rotating my own tires. It will be used maybe once or twice a month, so I don't need something built for a master mechanic. I'll also change the occaisional back hoe tire. I already have a good set of i...

I'm parting with my old hpp3. I bought it from someone on these forums back in 2005. Its model 30008, which means it will only work for 01 4.3l v-6 engines. It will not work for any other year or engine. It is not vin locked. Best offer plus $10 shipping takes it. Edit: I guess I should amend this.....

What about the intake gaskets? What's the degree of difficulty on those?

Oh, and how many pcv valves are there?

On another note, I'm considering asking my local gas station if I can get on a payment plan... :Lol:

I was also informed today (after the low engine oil light came on) that the truck uses 2-3 quarts of oil between oil changes, but doesn't leave any oil on the ground. I also can't tell anything from the exhaust either--color and smell seem normal.

OK all you master mechanics, I need some help... again... :) I was given a 2001 Silverado 2500HD single cab with a 6.0 V-8 and 135K miles. The engine was running roughly, surging, and going dead at idle quite a bit. Check Engine codes pointed to the MAF and MAP sensors, which have both been replaced...

On another note, can any of you recommend a good fullsize forum? There are several I've seen, but I'd love to find one similar to our site here--good people and minimal drama.

From what I know, the hpp3 gets it's verification info from the VIN. I think it would read your info, save it, then completely overwrite it with its own tune.

It will only work for a 2001 4.3... which makes my selling chances very dismal...

Yep... talk about disappointment... plugged the hpp3 up to the truck and it told me to go jump in the river.

Yea, I returned my S-10 back to stock before I left the junk yard so the Programmer should be good--just hasn't been used in 5 years. :) The manual doesn't specify. The tag on the box states that it is a 30008 model and works with 2001 GM 4.3 liter engines. This is what I'm getting, except it's the ...

For the most part, an inch or two worth of factory small wire is not going to make or break a speaker install, or restrict the power flow to your speakers. Here's my question: Are you using your stock deck? If so, just cut the speaker wires coming from the harness a few inches away, and use crimp co...

Look who's back from the dead. Actually I never left, but I've turned into a creepy old man/forum lurker.

The door opens into the room. I had one of those :idea: ideas last night. All of my solutions until now consisted of attaching something to the outside of the door. I might try to find some commercial one-sided deadbolts that I could put in the door itself. Seems like it might be the most secure opt...

Hi guys, I'm in need of some help. Hopefully from someone who knows more about this subject than myself. :) We recently finished building a house.

I changed the solid color to a gradient, keeping the original yellow at the bottom of the bar, but transitioning to a lighter shade at the top. What do you think?

I was of a similar opinion, but I'm unsure what color to change to. Any other yellow just doesn't look quite right...

Try switching to Art Elegance Black YELLOW in your profile settings, and see what you think.

Some of the image borders still need a little work through. Mostly the buttons.

This layout is growing on me as well. I've been thinking about making the background slightly transparent, and adding our rotating background images. This will also serve to darken the background grey just a little bit, increasing text contrast. What do you think?

Yes, the current style is a bit spastic. Don't worry my friends, you'll be back in familiar territory soon.

This makes me want to cry...

I had rail caps on my crew up until it was totaled. I'll do some looking and see if I can find the vendor.

Steve is right on the money.

I would suggest going with a 4x6 plate component set of speakers. No modifications to get them in, and a decent pair will sound excellent.

Have you tried adding an additional ground to the battery? Its a long shot, but might be worth it.

When did this start? I agree you've got a grounding problem, but its a vehicle wide issue...

I'm reasonably sure that on a 2wd, one rear shock mount is in front of the rear axle, while the other is behind. On our 4wd models, both shock mounts are behind the rear axle. That could be part of the problem.

Long awaited cosmetic updates to the website are in progress. I'm trying out a slightly different look as well. Opinions, comments, and criticisms are welcome.

Have any of you had any issues with this mod -- long term?

At post time, I was slightly concerned about the effect such a long/large antenna would have on the receiver. It may be nothing... just worryings of an ex-cellular tech... I'm curious to know if everything is still working fine.

Get a new head unit first. I've always been partial to alpine myself but most of the popular brands will sound fine. Make the dash and front door speakers your next priority. And replace both pair- they sound much better when all for are used instead of just two. For the dash, just get a decent 4x6 ...

Anyone else in the south get to close for comfort to some of these tornadoes?

Replace your dash plates with a set of component plates- that is a separate woofer and tweeter mounted to a 4x6 plate. Alpine may still make one or two. If you want to go all out, take a heat gun and deform the plastic in the openings to fit a set of 5-1/4" components. Those dash speakers are even m...

Agreed. I use Picasa alot for general photo management. Very nice, free app.

Cranking the torsion bars had been known to cause premature cv boot wear and failure. And yes, you'd need a front end alignment asap.

The door/dash combo definitely sounds best when both sets of speakers are amped with a dedicated power amplifier. :) I used to run my dash and doors sets off an Alpine 4 channel, getting signal from the front output of an Alpine head unit. I ran the rear speakers off the rear channel of the head uni...

The front door speakers don't automatically produce distortion. That's a combination of several factors like speaker quality, head unit volume, equalizer settings, etc... Speaking from experience, if you get a nice pair of 6" components or ever midrange woofers for your doors, and you adjust your eq...

I would advise against spending much on rear door speakers.. The acoustics of the rear door cavities make for terrible sound. The best to hope for rear speakers is to use them for rear sound fill. A decent coaxial speaker should do fine. Save the more expensive components for the fronts. ...sent fro...
