Not really any heat issues, only in the 110F heat in Moab.

First off put a DC filter right at the fuel pump and make sure the negative lead is grounded to the body well and near by. If it is an in tank pump and the tank is metal, the noise is not radiated RF but rather conducted RF through the power wiring. Ground your radio well and run a DC filter...

I have a fully built rock crawler. My favorite mod was building a 4.7L stroker 302hp/325 ft/lbs torque. I also built a bespoke extreme offroad teardrop.

Me too

I have a personal pet peeve. I am diabetic. There is a serious danger out there due to lack of knowledge concerning diabetics. If a diabetic is unconscious, it is most likely due to low blood sugar unless they are having a seizure with the accompanying convulsions and spastic movement. The...

Mine is on welding/fabrication. If it is my ass hanging over a ledge, you can bet I will do it on things I designed and built myself.

Its official, I have accepted a position back home in Colorado. Hope to meet all the new COpeeps.

The ranking and points system is evolving and seems to be human driven. My rank used to be VII and when I just looked it has dropped to a V. Maybe I pissed someone off:grinning:

Just a note for those who may get caught anywhere in a hail storm. If you have a blanket, spread it out over the large flat panels of your vehicle. When wet, it does an exceptional job at distributing and absorbing the impact of larger hail stones. I have successfully gotten a vehicle through...

Looks like I will be back in Colorado. If I can sneak away from work and if grandkid #7 isn't scheduled to show up at that time, I may try and make it.

Camping is by reservation only and they fill up months in advance.

Got to add this to my bucket list.

Damn, how did we ever survive without weather forecasts? On the farm we just had a barometer. Other than that, you stuck your head outside and looked at what was happening.

I've been working out of state for the last few years. I hope to be back permanently in the next few weeks. Just as a fact note: I am 68 years old, overweight, and diabetic. I just had two knees replaced. Both my wife and I had Covid the first week in Feb. I ran a 103 for two days and...

I grew up in Stanton/Garden City. I hung out in Big Bend or up at Alpine.

I am a blue tape and cardboard mockup guy. A tip: find a local business that specializes in building shipping containers and packing for industries. They will have very large single sheets of cardboard that you can cut and tape to build a proto before spending big bucks on materials and...

use the key words cable glands and do a google/amazon search. We use them on big test systems exposed to wash downs and oil all the time.

That goes without saying. Always get things to temp before packing the cooler.

Everybody says that, and it may be true for some people, but in my case, I have lived on less than 25 grams of carbs for years. Even with exercise, the lowest I have been able to get my A1C without meds (pills and injections) is 7.5. The only way to get it lower is to completely fast. I did...
