Re: Do I have have enough Truck?
I went from a my 96 3500 Dually to my single wheel Dodge 2500 Cummins, and their was a big difference . Cummins could pull the hitch off my 5er, but the GM Dually could handle all the rough roads like nothing, never white knuckled like the 2500 which was rated about 4k higher for towing. Then I made the mistake of putting all terrain tires on my 2500, then it was down right scary at times in wind on the highway. Best thing would be a Cummins in a 3500 Dually.612Views0likes0CommentsRe: Clock tells me to update in 6 days (Windows 10) or else
I installed 10 on my win7 machine, it was ok, but a few things I can't get drivers for, like my workstation video card. One of my simple games I play didn't even run , so it's win7 for this machine. You can always upgrade the OS, but hope your mfg has good driver support for your hardware too. If I want my system to run half correctly, I'll just boot my Linux os on start up.lol280Views0likes0CommentsRe: *FINAL UPDATE* Stuck in Newton NJ with a blown transmission
The 4l80's have several weak links that need to be addressed . Boost valve, pressure overrun issues, main bolts that hold the courier assemblies in place. Those are just the ones I can remember , since I haven't rebuilt one in a few years now. Think transgo has the rebuild kit to fix those issues.435Views0likes0CommentsRe: Virginia CCW Heads Up
Whiskey River wrote: Well Virginia you are a day late & a dollar short as my plans have already changed from Virginia Beach to the Outer Banks because of your carry policy, or now your former policy. I know my 2k is not a drop in a large bucket but it will go to North Carolina. Does anyone think those 25 states listed just randomly give out conceal carry permits to anyone. I think the actual background check for all states is pretty much the same. The difference is some states require a class on guns & some do not. Some states require you to take a test and fire the gun at a range & some do not. Some states require you to be fingerprinted, some do not. And on and on. My hope is that all states require the same requirements and the permit is good anywhere. In the article from "The Hill", posted by blangen, the Virginia governor stated, "dangerous people who would not pass a background check in Virginia could obtain fire arms in states with weaker gun laws & bring them into Virginia". This statement is more of a purchasing a gun than conceal carry, but any way, Note to governor: dangerous people do not abide by any gun laws of any state..... LOL , that's what I have done, little change of plans this year. I'm not leaving my carry gun in the car,RV, or hotel room on vacation. Staying in SC this year. Traveled last year to NY, locked it in my car, dropped my wife off a few days to see her mother, and got the heck out of NY in a few days. I have to business being in that state.lol237Views0likes0Comments
