  1. A Funny Little Story..

    in Off Topic - Random, Misc posts - the forum "Junk Drawer"

    Posted

    If the clunk turns out not to be the golf ball don't worry, we took our 2004 in and they said that alot of the transmissions clunked from 2nd to 3rd and there was not a fix for it, nor was it harmful

    It never did clunk after.

    Our 97 Ford F350 service truck we have shifts rather rough, but the dealer said some of them were like it, and there was no fix for it.

    Plus the truck only has 100,000kms on it, and the trans was leaking, replaced the seal and it still leaks... but not enough to notice on the stick.

    I just remembered this when I saw pix of a early 00s Silverado.

    My dad bought a 2000 Silverado Z71 W/5.3 from a company who used it to go from city to city, highway. It had 220,000 on it when we traded it in 04 IIRC.

    When we bought it, the tires were worn sooo bad you could see the belting in them.

    However, when you'd take off from a stoplight, the truck would clunk.

    We could not figure out what it was, we was firguring the trans was crapping out.. We mentioned this to the sellers.

    I think we were on vacation when dad was loading stuff into the back of it, and he saw a golf ball in the side pockets of the bed. He took it out and it never clunked no more.

    Golf balls save money.. haha

  8. Microwave Popcorn

    Yea I heard that like 8 years back or so, but I guess that is to be a thing of the past now.

    I got the same one here :) has a little metal rod that spins in circles to keep the corn rotating while popping.

    Then just use these kernals and this buttery oil and its just like movie theater popcorn.

    http://www.orville.com/products_kernalpop.jsp#products

    But you need to use this kinda salt. http://www.mortonsalt.com/products/foodsal...opcorn_salt.htm

    Theres something different with it compaired to regular salt.

    I find myself going to the movies, just for the popcorn at time! lol

    I've been at the moive theatre here, and everybody in the theatre threw there popcorn on the ground it was so sickening...

    I'd tell ya what I put on my popcorn but its my buddies family secret.. :01nocomment8so:

  10. Microwave Popcorn

    Pour over butter from Orval Redenbocker probably spelt that wrong but Im kinda lucky when i want pop corn I run up to the movie theater about 1 mile away from my house and buy a jumbo bucket or just make my own with the popcorn machine we got

    http://www.toastess.com/product_details.asp?product=30 This makes really good popcorn IMO. I just pour in some corn oil, some kernels, you can put butter into the top and season it and stuff, pops up real nice.

    I also like cooking it up on the stove, just corn oil in a big pot and some kernels and seasoning.

    I can't remember what mircrowave popcorn I liked, but it was sweet corn. Tastes good too.

    But.... I dont like mircrowave pop corn too much.

  15. Trying To Find An Amp..

    Stay away from those Audio Pipe amps. They are complete crap. There is a guy that was on Team Roadquake with 3 of the 3000's on 6 15's and he was only making something like 4000 watts out of three of those amps. They will NOT do the power that they claim they will. I am going to be selling my Crunch GP3000D and if you're interested let me know. You won't be able to get one of these new ever again. Maxxsonics is discontinuing them and replacing them with a new amp next year. Mine is in almost mint condition except for a minor scuff to the heatsink. Pm me if you're interested in getting something done. I can tell you that you won't be able to touch one of these amps for under $550 anywhere on the net right now unless it's used. This amp will run at .5 ohms all day long with the proper extra battery upgrade and would even help to add a ho alt with it, but can be run at .5 and has without a ho alt.

    I think I might do an extra battery in the rear, (PM 2400, I think).

    Hmmm... I'll send you a pm..

    which would you guys go for?

    I dunno. I'm trying to get an alt aswell... If I get one of the more expensive amps that I posted, I won't be able to get an alt or batteries right away... but i'm not in a rush to get it done as my sonoma still needs work too..

  20. Rate Your Aftermarket Alternator

    hahaha wait til you see mine next year :D

    iraggi 300 amp

    fit 10

    finish ? i see lotsacopper so idk?

    reliability 8

    output 8

    i suggest an external regulator for anything 200 amp and up cause there known to go out.

    but thats life..NOTHING LASTS FOREVER!

    My truck has a a/c bracket but no a/c was equipped. I can get a 140amp kit for my stock alternator, if I used a separate oem modded alt, in place of where the a/c would have went, and have it dedicated to the stereo, would that be okay, or should I do a 200+amp for the whole truck, and replace the single alt?

    Anybody running a Missing Link w/ a Mechman alt?

    "No problem, we have a 250 amp unit with built-in adjustable voltage regulator on-sale for $399 shipped. (normally $499) We can set the voltage at 15.2V for you to optimize system performance, and it will do a full 250 amps with over 150 amps at idle! (the best in the industry) We even include an extra-small 46mm overdrive pulley that we custom machine here in house, (49mm is the smallest available anywhere else) this further boosts idle RPM performance. Best of all, our large case unit is custom machined for S10's, making it the only large case unit that bolts in without any bracket modificatons! Let me know and I can have one to you ASAP.

    Thanks

    Hmm. Why I've been asking you guys is I'm trying to determine what alternator I should save for.

    What did you guys not like about the finish of EA alts?
