NEVER HAD A BETTER SHOOTING 22 - GUSSIED UP REM 581

A MANLY PROPELLANT

A MANLY HANDGUN IN 40 S&W

Hornbrod: Understood - Sometime after reprogrm my radio a few I discovered my red top had the screw in type connections as well as top posts . . . So put in a neg post adapter 4 fast/convien & was happy until the gadget came along & I'm a sucker 4 gadgets of all sorts 88mj: I think it'll work ok with IS in acc position - Worked when swapping bat in wifes Chrysler TC & am aware of 21yr dif of the 2 - - Anyway, JIC, all thats at risk is a return trip 2 Wal Mart - return the dead 9v as well - lol :thumbsup:

Nice truck - I think you got the better part of the transaction - The commentators for Mecum & barrett Jackson say over & over that turn keys are the best deal - - Can't go wrong buying quality at a decent price esp 4 those of us who can't r dislike the wrenching/resto thing - - - - Anyway, enuff stating the obvious - - NiceTruck! - - - PM me if you ever lose your mind & wanna sell. :thumbsup:

Tried their new Delux Burger? - - - - Extra grease! :banana:

Handy Dandy gadget/tool - - - Fixed some minor elec probs & no idea about 91 up ECU memory loss - - low idle & return to correct caused some head scratching & needless testing more than a few - - - Stumbled across this from HORNBROD :bowdown: On the 91-95 OBDI MJ/XJ HOs (and perhaps the OBDII system also, not sure) disconnecting the neg cable causes what I consider an issue. At rest, no IGN ON, residual memory current (microamps) is constantly fed to the OBDI ECU to retain it's open/closed loop memory. Disconnecting the neg cable causes the ECU to lose it's memory instantly. For the ECU to completely "re-learn" it's residual settings, it needs to be driven about 100 miles or so, especially on a modified engine. It's a minor PITA as the idle is always lower during the process, and sometimes causes stalling when in stop and go traffic. Preventing this loss of ECU memory is easy by hooking up a common 9VDC battery with alligator clip leads attached across the neg battery post and cable (observing correct polarity) before disconnecting the battery neg cable. A healthy 9V battery will retain the ECU's memory for days since the draw is so small while you are working an electrical problem on your rig & Then Found this - - - Wal Mart's got 'em - - - Google it & many other vendors - - Approx $10-12 http://www.walmart.c...Keeper/15523521 Hangs on shops pegboard now, right next to my favorite screwdriver :thumbsup:

c'mon - All these how many angels can dance on the head of a pin sexual senarios are bogus - DH is right - It's a bad idea - Mainly because of the distraction caused - I, like most, have always behaved, but the attraction-distraction is ever present - always has been-always gonna be - From the garden of Eden til sometime later this month around th 21st - That and you gotta be half off to get on one of those things anyhow - Ditto for those that jump from airplanes - They just don't need any more distraction than what's already clouding their better judgement. 'tis a bad idea. This day and age we're living in Gives cause for apprehension With speed and new invention And things like fourth dimension. Yet we get a trifle weary With Mr. Einstein's theory. So we must get down to earth at times Relax relieve the tension And no matter what the progress Or what may yet be proved The simple facts of life are such They cannot be removed. You must remember this A kiss is just a kiss, a sigh is just a sigh. The fundamental things apply As time goes by. . . . . it's still the same old story A fight for love and glory A case of do or die. The world will always welcome lovers As time goes by. :thumbsup:

If you don't think rake could effect the toe, go measure your toe then put 1k of weight in the @$$ and re measure. The front will lift some due to the weight. Secondly if the rear of the truck goes down the lower arm goes forward around the pivot of the wheel. This changes the caster slightly, which in turn will also change your toe. An alignment of both caster and toe should be performed or checked after every alteration to front or rear suspension. I learned the hard way to be sure to do the alignment with driving load. So if you plan to have a canopy the alignment needs to be done with the canopy on. and redone if you remove the canopy and plan to drive for any length of time. If for nothing other to ensure best mileage on your tires. You can check toe at home w/ a 2x4 and a tape measure and check caster with a $9 angle gauge. Only said didn't see how lifting the bed would effect caster - still having trouble with that in real world apps - bed goes up - center gravity goes forward, but it's gotta be stupid/unreal before the front springs compress to a meaningful amount - - - - - - Home alignment methods have been beacouped this site & others - - What worked for me, working alone, was using an old school folding carpenters rule-quality type with slide out tip-way more rigid than a tape-also used TM & 2 straight edges fastened to tires with identical rubber straps - Best for me was with a helper & SEs - no need for straps-no crawling around measuring - - Also, since every system's gotta have an operating range 200lb was put in DS seat/floor pan when toe was ck'd & then 'nother 200lb in PS & recheck & again after little over 100 miles wi just me adding to gvw - Did it - MJs dialed in-no dw-smooth zero to 85+ - Ready for Bonneville :thumbsup:

This would/should also check exhaust system strength at same time - - lol http://www.ebay.com/itm/Titan-Exhaust-Air-Jack-Vehicle-Lift-New-TTC-2-0-/350665806891?pt=Motors_Automotive_Tools&hash=item51a54f942b&vxp=mtr :D

Hmmm. . . . . Think it helped me - - - Am gonna fresh my 89s rear springs shortly & anticipate 2 inch or so higher in back - - - If my Jethro Bodine style math is correct a 113 inch increase in lift would amount to 45* increase in rake/caster on my 113 wheelbase so a 2 inch increase distills to zero point 81degrees of rake/caster - - - This almost one degree of change may put me back in DW trouble but at least now I'll be ready - - - - My LCAs length is good & I added adjustable uppers - - so much for that - - Don't see how lifting the rear will change toe, but checking/changing it is no biggie - - - we'll see. :thumbsup:
