Re: Restore computer to purchase date?
Run CCleaner monthly. If the Windows temp directories get over 2 gig Windows can slow to a crawl. This goes for all versions 95 to 8. Check Task Manager for processes hogging memory/ cpu. More info though on what you are using is needed to get more specific.434Views0likes0CommentsRe: E450 Oil Filter
Ford recommends the FL-820S on the V-10 to help keep oil in the engine when not running. The filter has a silicone valve built in to do this. Do you not have clearance to put this filter on? Seems like it should fit since its OEM but you may have something different causing it to not spin up? From the manufacturer: Silicone anti-drain back valves help prevent oil from draining out of the filter and engine when the engine is not running and resist the aging effects that an engine’s high heat can cause.630Views0likes0CommentsRe: Kudos to a local who helped us in Key Largo while broke down
That is his business phone number, he said to pass it around to anyone who needs anything, whether it is detailing of cars, rv, boats to helping find vacation rentals. He is a typical Keys entrepreneur, whatever it takes to make a living. Nice guy.311Views0likes0CommentsKudos to a local who helped us in Key Largo while broke down
On the way to Curry Hammock SP, crossing the bridge into the Keys I had to lock up the brakes. All the sudden the truck was pulling to the left badly. I was able to get into Key Largo and stopped near the Napa Auto Parts. My brake caliper was smoking bad. At 3:30 pm on a Saturday, Napa guys were great, called around to several mobile mechanics and none wanted to work. A guy in the store asked me what was wrong and said he would check it out, he was very well known by the Napa guys so I figured what the heck. He saw the caliper was stuck and offered to help. In no time he had it off, Napa had the parts pulled and he put it all together, bled the brakes and we were good as gold. He charged me a hundred bucks, I paid and tipped him. He even offered to go to Curry Hammock if I had any trouble while vacationing. Anyway the guys name is Derek McKinley, owner of Fantastic Mobile Detail. He deserves kudos and if anyone needs help in Key Largo or RV detailing call him at 305-522-4960. He did us right and its good to know a resource while on the road. Kudos to the Napa store, did everything they could to help.2.7KViews0likes10Comments
