Gonna have to call fedex and check on it.

I use Shure SCL-4's.

Here are two links on how to make your own RCA interconnects. The first one is on DIYMA and the second one is on Headfi.org

When you use the brakes does the RPM of the engine drop or does it stall out? Also, have you noticed any oil spots after the truck sites overnight, or anywhere you park? And the engine light flashing is probably caused by the engine misfiring. As long as the motor is running, it shouldn't be spark plugs. When the truck is out of drive, does it rev to a high RPM like it should or does it only go up annd stop before hitting the rev limiter?

Food poisoning get you?

If I remember correctly, there was a topic a couple of months back that talked about powermaster raising their prices $50. SO your probably not going to find the D3100 for less than $350.

Yea the TI-83/84 would be fine. The TI-89 is better, but alot different, keys are layed out different. One big thing I know of on the 89 is that yo can do a 3-d style graph, if you want. But if you remember how to use the 83/84 go ahead and get the 83/84, because you'd have to relearn keystrokes on the 89. Also, the 83 was fine for my engineering classes this past year.

I would continue to sand, even if you are going to cover it in something.

What are you mainly going to use this laptop for? And what is your budget?

Something like that would be fine. Because even if its not what you want to do down the road, there wasn't alot of money invested into it. Plus you don't need anything more to get started with.

Maybe a few more details would help, what OS, what size power supply? Also, by having trouble booting up, do you mean sometimes it freezes during startup, or sometimes it just does nothing? EDIT- Very nice truck BTW

Yea the timing chain is a bitch to replace on basically a "FWD" (referring to engine alignment in the bay) car. Like ominub said, pull the tire, inner fender cover thing, and possibly the strut, depending on where the engine sits. Then off comes all of the pulleys, and harmonic balancer, belt tensioner, and whatever else is in the way of the timing cover. Then you pull the cover. Thats most of the hard stuff, except putting it all back on.

Awesome. Also I see that there were no problems with teh magnets holding the trim panel on. Good work.

The stock alt runs at what, 120 amp? If so you probably do have a big drop in voltage, do any of your lights dim? And is that with the car off, idling, or at around 2000 RPM?

So basically it will hit hard for a second then drop off, then it does it over and over?
