    Realistic expectations at 100 yards with a .22lr?

    I don't shoot .22lr much but picked up a second Marlin model 60 and a cheapo 4x20 scope down here in Georgia and started plinking, I already had a Marlin model 60 but it was old and beat to death so it was retired to hang on the wall and I never actually fired it since I was a kid. Anyway, I...

    Dead mans guns...

    Are you legally supposed to do anything if you inherit guns? No paperwork, no info, literally just handed a box of a dead guys guns. I'd like to do things by the book here and make sure they are legally in my name or whatever. I don't think I need to do anything for the long guns but not so...

    How do you email larger video files?

    Simple question, how do you email someone a video file? Gmail only lets you send like 10mb and the file is 400mb? Is there another free email service that lets you send larger files? Or another way to do it?

    High fuel trims? Do this!!!

    For literally 3 years I've been chasing strange high fuel trims. Not high enough to set a code of effect the performance much but still enough to make me constantly suspect a vacuum leak. I checked every way I could and never found a leak so I gave up and just accepted the fuel trims on my...

    Is there a GM "Forscan"?

    Curious if anyone knows if there is software like Forscan but for GM vehicles? My brother in law's Colorado is having transmission issues and my regular scanner is having trouble getting into the transmission control module. Figured I'd see if there's anything like Forscan I can use before I...

    Do you wait for a CEL to replace a downstream O2?

    I know you should replace the upstream O2(s) on a schedule since they degrade over time and will kill your fuel mileage, I did my upstream a while ago but never bothered to do the downstream sensor cause I'm lazy. The downstream sensor is now 12 years old so I figured lemme check what it's...

    Anyone ever make a "temporary" bed?

    I decided I'm gonna take the bed off my truck and replace a couple of the cross rails, paint the bottom and the rear of the frame, and drain and clean the fuel tank but wanna take my time but also not have the truck un-driveable during the process. So anyone ever make a temporary wood flatbed...

    Anyone switch to 0W oil?

    0w use to be more expensive but now it's the same price as the equivalent weight in 5w or 10w so can't see any reason not to switch. I ran 0w20 in the ranger last winter instead of 5w20 and got a minor reduction in noise on startup when it was really cold. Thinking about just using 0w in all...

    Power port timer

    OK so here's he deal,I have 2 dash cams (one front one rear) wired to a double throw toggle switch. In position 1 the switch powers the cameras on only when the truck is running, position 2 gives them full time power even when the engine is not running so I can keep recording in a parking lot or...

    I've had a "Knot" in my back under my right shoulder blade for like a month and a half now. I've tried stretching every way possible, my lil electric TENS gizmo, rubbing it, hitting it with a hammer, I even took a hot shower! Nothing works! It's driving me nuts, makes it uncomfortable to sleep...

    What causes battery crusties

    In 12 years I have never had an issue with crust forming on my battery terminals on my truck. Today I checked and the positive terminal was covered in white/blue crust. I cleaned it off with some baking soda and water, cleaned the terminals really good with a wire brush, tightened them back up...

    Is the stuff in your truck safe in heat/cold?

    You guys ever wonder about how the gear you keep in your truck handles the summer heat or freezing winters? I have my battery jump pack, cell phone battery charger, miscellaneous glues and tapes, my tire air pump, all those sort of electronics (especially ones with batteries). Do you think that...

    Plug tools

    I carried an old cheap set of victor tire plug tools for years, the reamer is finally so worn that it's smooth so I retired it. I just bought 2 different little kits from the parts store, used them on some old tires and both bent, one the handle just fell right off. Nothing is quality anymore...

    Why doesn't my security light blink?

    I drove my friends new 2007 ranger this morning and noticed his security light blinks constantly when the truck is off like a typical alarm system warning light. On my 2009 it blinks for like 10 seconds when you first turn the truck off then stops. I want mine to blink all the time? Why doesn't...

    Warranty vs self oil changes.

    Any merit to the idea that ford can void a warranty if you service your oil yourself and don't have a receipt for one from a dealer or other place? Sounds stupid but I can put in better crap than a damn midas can and my mom thinks I'll void the warranty? @adsm08 I insist on 3k oil changes and...
