  1. So this exchange here is pretty much analogous to: "You're stupid" "No, you're stupid" Worthwhile post, cupcake.
  2. Ram (Cummins) - 6 Dakota - 8 Stealth - 6 Accord - 4 =TWENNY-FO
  3. I had a good time as well, I'm glad the weather held out. HOT TIP: Avoid coming by way of the Medical Center exit unless you'd like to drive through construction mud, exit at Lane avenue and then come back south.
  4. Welcome sir. Also a Pickerington/OSU guy here.
  5. The Stealth is SHINY, didn't rain a drop so far today.
  6. Such dickery in here, and now into other people's threads. You beez keepsin it TOO real yo!!
  7. If such a tragedy is to occur, then you get up and change it with the included remote. The other 90% of the time though, you don't .

  9. Nah, the hdmi auto switches sources when they're turned on, and the optical switch is a manual switch I believe. So, no additional remotes necessary I don't believe.
  10. I would suggest an optical audio splitter, that would help, for one thing. And then as far as hiding everything else, use wire runs or something similar. Optical splitter/switch: http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=104&cp_id=10423&cs_id=1042302&p_id=2946&seq=1&format=2 HDMI version: http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=101&cp_id=10110&cs_id=1011002&p_id=6259&seq=1&format=2 Monoprice is also the best place to get cables of any type at any length. You'll be especially surprised at the price of hdmi if you've not seen them before.
  11. 2.7? 3.5? Who gives a shit, still terribad.
  12. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivPheV77JcU "riding" doesn't start until ~:45 or so
  13. 3si is as well, I don't expect much though.
  14. When I worked for a wine distributor I delivered there a few times, it's definitely a nice place. I can say they have a decent wine selection too for those who care.
  15. I'll try to be there. Looks like I may be washing it in the rain on Friday, though Saturday looks dry.
  16. +1 for Pickups Plus. I sent my dad over there for a set of Raptor stainless step bars for his cummins, and they beat the best online price we found. They'll install too, since I know you're not very mechanically inclined .
  17. I was reading through that and it explicitly prohibits shooting your little brother in the head. I would bet money that he's never allowed on Easton property again.
  18. This has cheap sleeper potential if no rust really is no rust. http://columbus.craigslist.org/cto/2212893237.html
  19. To suggest that the Grand Marquis/Crown Vic is any kind of representative for Ford as a brand is dumb as hell. It's a dinosaur of an automobile that some old people, taxi drivers, and law enforcement can't break ties with. That's it, plain and simple, and I think they're very close to discontinuing them for good. Not that this is the only problem with your logic, just the only part I hadn't seen mentioned yet.
  20. This is true, I was just trying to say that not all have Urea, some (Dodge) is still sticking with DPF-only for now. Cab and chassis trucks have already switched. I'm no inside source, but from what I understand the stick will remain for a while, however, not with the 800 lb feet motor. That motor will be an auto-only option. Stick shift trucks (like my dads) are detuned slightly already because Dodge refuses to put a good clutch in them.... Also, it's my understanding that a half-ton diesel is still in the works for Dodge at least, although I REALLY wouldn't expect a manual offered with those.
  21. Two ways manufacturers "clean up" diesel emissions: You can inject urea into the exhaust in order to chemically react with the harmful exhaust components and change them into harmless ones. OR You can collect the contaminates in a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) in the exhaust. The DPF method introduces an excess of fuel into the exhaust, by way of an in-exhaust or injector or a simple "wasted" injector cycle which heats up the exhaust gases and "cleans" the filter of it's contents that way. Urea injection requires refilling the Urea reservoir about every oil change for $40 or so each time, but the exhaust restriction created and excess fuel required to heat the DPF negatively affects mileage.
  22. My dad has a 2010, so it's only 650 lb ft stock. He's hoping he might be eligible for an in-warranty flash to something close to those levels, that would sure be fun. It's my understanding that the 800 level motors are mechanically the same, but that the torque converter is upgraded to handle it.... Also, Berto, do you work for Cummins? Can you comment on any possibility of that?
  23. Welcome sir, you have a couple nice pictures as well.
  24. Is there a craigslist posting or contact for this? I'd like to forward it to my uncle.
