I have one. 18ga works OK, 16 is really a no-go for steel. For what I use it for the price was good. Not really a professional quality tool, but for the occasional user it has been fine. Jim

If you are not a tech guy yourself, ask the questions for things surrounding the technical side. Thing like: security policies e-mail policies how do deal with irate or manipulative users that are requesting things without authorization troubleshooting steps on situations that you have faced in...

Actually, they used the AMC keys at least through 89. Mine has had the "square" keys with the original lockset since it was purchased in October of that year...even though everything else on the vehicle has the dodge "pentastar" on it. The Wagoneer is a sweet rig though. Nice find. Jim

We have Dell, HP and IBM. It depends on which manager was in charge at the time of ordering. The HP and Dell Servers have been much more reliable than the IBM. And for the issues we have had, the service for either has been better as well. Even ordering parts, we always have them within the...

I also had this at one point. I could jiggle the key and get the gauges back. Ended up replacing the key switch. Jim

I think JC Whitney still carries them (kind of a universal design that slides to expand for the width of the roof). Jim

I second checking the fuse block. It can really melt one into a twisted mess that will cause you headaches troubleshooting electrical unless you replace it (if it is melted) Jim

I suppose I should mention that the first 3 of the 13 years was renovating the building, the first generator went online in year 4, the second in year 6. So there was a lot of initial outlay before any income started. And don't forgrt that they had overhead a home user would not have running a...

As far as I know, they only used the one diesel motor. Oh yeah, mine did use a little oil after 180K or so....About a quart every 1000 miles. And at least here in Wyoming, I kept a 1000CCA battery in it....always. When it would start getting weak, I would move it to the girlfriend's (now...

I had a 79 luv...and yep, they are the isuzu diesel. It was a darn reliable motor in a truck that rotted off the frame :) But I suppose I can expect that in 290k miles. Not a lot of HP, but it was great for offroad. It was light and had plenty of torque fro it's size. I routinely got 25...

I stand corrected if the shingles have become that efficient....the last numbers I saw were rougly 16% efficiency. It meant on a per year basis (accounting for longer days in the summer with AC when people were home and the shorter winter days with heat) for the average family of 4, it would...

I thought they had to pay you (at voided cost) for the excess power created. The law has been in place since Carter. But Solar alone rarely produces more than a household will use, it just is not that efficient yet for the price. So the point may be moot unless you have 10 acres to fill with...

I would think it would be based on what you purchased at the time of sale. When I turned wrenches, if someone brought in tires that they had purchased from us, and had gotten the road hazard, which included lifetime rotation and balance, we would have only charged them for the dismount/mount...

Everybody behaved appropriately," declared Greg Craig, Obama's incoming White House counsel and the person asked to conduct the internal inquiry into contacts between the transition team and Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich. So why is Greg Craig...who has NO post until January conducting the...

The media should be questioning why we are believing someone investigating themselves finding no issues. Of course they would not find any wrongdoing investigating themselves.....no one is going to shoot themselves in the foot. Not saying that there WAS any wrongdoing, but I would feel...
