    WTB: Yakima LoadWarrior or similar

    Hi - I have a 2001 Job One ST, I'm looking for a Yakima LoadWarrior set up or something similar. Specifically a gear basket, rails, mounts and 4 locks keyed the same but if you just have the rails, mounts and locks that's OK too as I can get the basket somewhere else. Anyone got one...

    Keypad code???

    I have a 2001 Job One ST...the "behind the glove box" deal was a red herring for me. I took out the airbag, the whole deal, and the only sticker I found had nothing remotely like the keypad code. I just waited until I had my ST in for service, and asked my service advisor if they'd get me...

    WTB: hard tonneau cover for 01 ST

    Hi - I'm looking for a hardshell tonneau cover for my '01 ST. Does anyone have one they'd like to sell? Maybe you're trading in your older ST for a newer one and want to sell the cover separately? I'd rather look for a used one before trying to buy one new. I'd prefer the factory...

    RAID (hard disks)

    Nobleman said: "I'm not getting into a who has more servers match. If you're not putting your OS on RAID, you just enjoy dropping your pants for a game of whack-a-ball. To recommend a business run without fault-tolerance is irresponsible." No, we don't. I won't get into a who has more...

    I Am Legend = Ford commercial

    Kevin, it was just a movie. LOL You call it "suicide"....what do you call volunteering your life for a greater good? Wouldn't that be the true measure of a man? I don't agree that the movie made him out to be some sort of he-man. I think the movie went to great lengths to show how he was...

    Ethanol

    I agree with the others...as much as I like the Sport Trac (107,000 miles and counting on my '01 Job One), if you want to use alternative fuels you'd be better off buying a diesel and using bio-diesel. E85 is a huge scam. People will say "but it works in Brazil" and that is true, but only...

    RAID (hard disks)

    Nobleman said: "Negative, 2003 server will automatically boot from the mirrored drive." True, assuming both drives are good. "Tastes great, less filling", I guess...I never put an OS onto a RAID partition. Then again, I don't deal with small single-server setups so maybe it makes sense...

    I Am Legend = Ford commercial

    I thought the movie was great. I didn't mind the Ford vehicles at all and thought the Expedition looked exactly like it would look if I was in the same position as Will Smith's character. The "villain" police car in Transformers was technically a Saleen S281...there were no Ford markings...

    OT: The US Sub-Prime Mortgage Crisis Explained

    The sub-prime mortgages were taken out when interest rates were already extremely low because a) the people getting them had poor credit ratings and didn't qualify for a "good" mortgage, and b) mortgage bankers and appraisers were in cahoots to scam as much money as they could via outright...

    RAID (hard disks)

    You can do RAID two ways: hardware, or software. If hardware, you need a RAID controller card, or your motherboard needs to have one on it. If software, then your OS needs to support it (any server OS you are going to run these days does). If it were me, I would NOT put everything...

    01 Job One starts fine, won't idle

    Thanks for the replies everyone. Problem resolved. It was a stuck IAC. I pulled it off and cleaned it up, then used a pair of needlenose pliers to work the valve because I couldn't get a grip in there with my ginormous fingers. While working the valve with the pliers I squirted more...

    01 Job One starts fine, won't idle

    Thanks for the replies, everyone. Rich, where is the IAC? I googled it, but the engine they're showing doesn't look like my engine at all. I see in the Projects section that Todd Z posted a "Cleaning the IAC motor" project...is that what I should take a look at? John

    01 Job One starts fine, won't idle

    Hi - Just took a good look....did not see anything loose or disconnected. But, I am not all that sure where to look, as I don't exactly know what the TPS, MAF, etc is. But every connector I can see is connected., and I don't see any loose hose ends. Is there a good picture somewhere...

    01 Job One starts fine, won't idle

    Hi Todd - Not sure about the warming up part...what's the definition of warmed up? I did run it with my foot on the gas (at about 2500rpm) until the thermostat opened up, but that didn't seem to have an effect. It still dies as soon as I let up on the gas. John

    01 Job One starts fine, won't idle

    Hi - I've gotten great help here in the past (thanks, Cayman!) so I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction for this new problem. 01 Job One Sport Trac, 103,500 miles, engine rebuilt by dealer at 99K (new timing chains, all four, all new tensioners/guides, new manifold...
