  1. I bought a HU from them back in July of 2010, and recently my Ipod wouldn't play anymore. The display would show the track/artist/playlist info but would only do that. I checked all the connections until I was stumped. I called up Crutchfield's tech support, and within about a minute, the tech had it playing again. Turns out reseting my Ipod was all it took (stupid me) and something I completely didn't think about. So A+ to them If this is in the wrong section, mods please move it
  2. I'm told there will be shop owners attending too so my teacher told me I have to have a resume'. Which is cool because it seems like an easy hook-up to get a job.
  3. Thats awesome. Theres two of us adult students competing in metal straightening, and one hs school student. Today we teamed up and were practicing together. My teacher broke it down for us. We'll do a written test, doing plug welds and some other joint weld, plastic repair, and 3 dents in a panel. One dent we have to straighten using just tools, one straighten then apply body fill and sand, and the other we have to heat shrink. It'd be nice to get some advice from any body techs on here
  4. So this is my first part of my auto body classes for my degree. For my degree I already took all my gen eds, and other automotive classes like steering and suspension, electrical, HVAC, etc. Well I got some exciting news from my instructor the other day. He selected me as one of the students to compete in the Skills USA regional comp in Kansas City!!! You see, my college has an articulated agreement with this big vo-tec school here where the credits transfer because my college doesn't have the autobody facilites like a paintbooth and everything. So I'm stuck with high school students and a handful of adult students. My main question is, has anybody ever been to a competition like this before? My teacher told me I'd be doing the metal straightening portion. He said I'd have to do some welding, plastic repair, fender straightening, and a written test. Idk if there's anything else but I'm kinda nervous I'll just look like a douche in front of the judges.
  5. Nicely done! Mine was a small 7 pointer basket rack. Shot that and a doe about 10 min apart Its January wheres this seasons bag?
  6. My g/f showed me this, maybe next time I'll watch what i say on Live lol Sorry if its a repost
  7. I work there!!! :D and flat repairs are free if they have road hazard protection***
  8. Is called doing a pressure test. theres a special attachment that you put on to screw the cap on to it. You pump it up to the psi it says on the cap, if the needle drops the cap is bad. Then you screw the end on the resevoir. Pump it up to the same psi, and if the needle drops theres a leak in the system. Just look for coolant. Good luck to ya, hope its not the head gasket.
  9. Hiring more people does cost the employer more money fyi. I was lucky enough to get hired on at Firestone and hold a decent position. They work around my school schedule (even though i close every night because of that) and they usually give me days off when i work the schedule. Plus they buy us food all the time for random reasons.
  10. Im sure you could make it happen, might take a little bit longer. Ive used a hair dryer to heat up vinyl decals and it worked good
  11. Use a heat gun, but dont over heat it or pull too hard or stretch marks will show
  12. Does it shake when you idle or give it gas? If so I'd say fouled plug, best to do a tune up at 100k anyways if it's never had one. Just my .02 good luck and hope it gets fixed
  13. H20, root beer, mountain dew...until tuesday, on my 21st bday, then it's bud light and baby guinesses
  14. That box is CLEAN! Good job and glad it turned out good for you. Now get us some vids
