    Problem with posting pics

    Pics aren’t posting properly. Instead of the usual INSERT screen, it just shows this and won’t post the pic. It won’t even post the screenshot I pasted……:mad:

    Website down in the mornings?

    The past several days, I can’t get the website to come up in the mornings. Is it just me, or are others experiencing the same thing?

    Anybody familiar with a Ford/Mazda M50D 5-speed?

    My daughters ’04 Ranger 3.0L RWD has a M50D 5-speed. I’ve evidently broken something in the shifter. I was backing it up and couldn’t get it in reverse, so I pushed it quick and hard to get through the “gate”. Now, if you turn the shift knob, the shifter swings in an arc right to left. If you...

    Need a new floor jack

    Well, my old Craftsman floor jack has finally given up on me. Give me your recommendations on a replacement. The Craftsman was a 3.5 ton, pretty big, and heavy. The arm is probably 20”-24” long, the bowl @ 7” diameter, and the handle is 1-1/4” diameter pipe @ 4’ long.

    Not a big deal to some of you, I’m sure, but we’re not used to this here in TN.

    Valve adjustment issue?

    Our friend Solar1 sent this to me in a PM. I THINK he meant to post it, so I’ll post it here. Maybe he’ll find it. “well folks, I finally got my truck back on the road this summer after all the body/frame work, and painting. I did do a valve adjustment. I found that Cummins must have broke the...

    The infamous Grid Heater Nut

    I’ve searched and can’t find a thread specifically about the infamous Grid Heater Nut and I have questions. Is this a 6.7 issue or only certain years? Is it a Ram only issue? I ask because we have 561 6.7’s in our bus fleet and 26 in our White Fleet, from 2007 to current year models, and to the...

    Buck Knife box insert

    I bet they don't put these in the box with a new Buck Knife anymore. If they did, they'd probably get sued.

    Cerakote Headlight Restoration

    JeepBuilder started a thread way back in August 2020 about a product he'd used to restore headlights and other lenses called Cerakote. https://www.turbodieselregister.com/threads/successful-headlight-restoration-using-a-cerakote-kit.269840/ I put it on my new Sport headlights in hopes of...

    What is this thing?

    I found this thing in the passenger floorboard of the daughter’s new-to-her 2004 Ranger Edge. I had removed the floor console and the 5-speed shifter arm. Coins are for size reference. It’s purple-ish and spongy. I just want to make sure it's not part of the truck that fell out.

    Always inspect the seals

    I normally inspect new parts before installation for damage or irregularities. I got in a hurry Friday installing a new thermostat. After installation I ran it until the thermostat opened, no problems. I then drove @ 30 miles and found a small puddle of coolant on the ground. I tore it back down...

    Vacuum Pump Oil Supply Hose?

    I need a Vacuum Pump Oil Supply Hose for my '95 engine. By my ESN, 56206518, QuickServe tells me it's Cummins part #3925100. I looked on Geno's and the 3925100 is listed as fitting '89-'94 and they describe it as the "Short" hose. They also have a 3923084 Hose listed as fitting '94-'98. I have...

    Ever wonder what happens when a battery shorts out to the mount bracket?

    I don't know specifics, I'm sure something wasn't done properly when the batteries were installed, but this is what happens when the battery shifts and the hold down bracket contacts the positive post.

    Annual mushrooms in the yard?

    This happens every year around the end of August, first of September. The first pic was today, the next two were taken 9-5-2020. The grass goes away in an arc and these mushrooms pop up. The ‘shrooms pop up after a heavy rain. Anyone know why and how to stop it?
