So it's that time of year here in Georgia where I'm sometimes using heat, A/C or having the windows open. My house has a heat pump and I noticed that when I use it in heating mode, the compressor only runs for about 5-10 seconds then kicks off and I get little to no heat from the vent registers...

I just got back today from interviewing in-person at a company in Georgia (I currently live in Colorado) and I'll most likely take the job if the offer is what I'm looking for. However I have to figure out how to get my 3 vehicles and all my engines and parts transported out there. What do you...

So I've been living in Colorado the past 17 years or so and for several reasons am seriously considering relocating. I'm tired of the insane housing prices, lack of engineering industry in fields I'm interested in (power generation/energy conversion) and most of all serious lack of ethnic and...

Back in May after I finished grad school I decided I was done using my '93 Jeep Cherokee as a daily driver and started looking at newer cars, particularly Acura TL/TLX. Well as some of you may know the used car market really started to go crazy over the summer and I watched the prices just...

So this is completely unrelated to Mopars but my buddy is building a 2.5L GM 4-cylinder to swap in his Miata and bought these headers. He's concerned about the lack of welds on the inside of the tubes to the flange, I said it's probably not a big deal but what do you guys think? Figured I'd...

Ironic vintage test video of a 1969 Impala, I guess there were still worse cars you could buy in '69? 396 2-bbl "couldn't punch it's way through a wet Kleenex" :rofl:

A local car buddy of mine is also really into bikes; his dad was a real-deal biker "back in the day" and has a crazy built Shovelhead that pulls wheelies. My friend showed me that bike as well as his 1947 Knucklehead and needless to say I really want an old Harley now. He recommended I go with...

I work at a pizza place in town as a delivery driver for funding my car addictions and a coworker of mine drives a 2000 Durango with the 5.9. I did the front brakes on it a month or two ago as they were beyond worn, at that time I couldn't help but look the rest of the truck over and realized...

Sorry I know this is a non-technical forum but I wasn't sure where to post and I know there are lots of experienced technicians/mechanics on here... SO we have an '05 VW Passat in the family (only got it because it's a diesel, don't worry I'm not a VW fan lol) and the dang CV boot is already...

Hey all, just wanted to get some advice from the great people on this forum and vent some of my frustrations regarding what to do with my career. I'm 26 years old next month, I went to school for a Mechanical Engineering degree and graduated May 2014. I applied for jobs left and right and got...

So I'm living in Colorado now and have been for almost a decade, but being a recent college grad (even with a BSME) with little experience isn't working in the current job market; I love being here but the recent migration of people in the last couple years made it super competitive and...

I notice most of the members here are middle-aged or up and always someone mentioning that dreaded "C" word... just thought I'd pass this along This is the most common brand but there are others starting to pop up and it's become really popular in the past few years. It's basically...

Missing my fiance and want to reminisce our engagement last August, here's a little backstory because I'm sure mine is not like any you've heard before. Pretty much since I've been a member on here I've struggled to find the "right" kind of girl for me. Dating never really worked, between my...

A good friend of mine bought a very clean 1994 Mustang GT 5.0L Automatic a few weeks ago. It has a cold-air intake and nice sounding header-back exhaust but is otherwise stock. He prefers Mopar but doesn't have the technical skills to maintain a classic car which is why he went with a...

Just looking for some good recommendations, I am pretty new to the genre and the more artists I learn about the more I realize how HUGE it is... I'm going to see these guys live this Friday at the Ogden Theatre: Tenor Man - Greyboy Allstars - YouTube

So I was talking to my cousin just now (we are both 20 years old) and he was saying that he thinks he might have diabetes; he has felt sick for a few days, constantly urinating, and his toe has been numb the whole time too. Are these symptoms of diabetes or could it be something else? He says...

Hey everyone I've been having trouble getting help on this issue because I'm in a pretty unique situation... I am a 20-year-old college student and everyone knows early 20s is THE age for drinking alcohol and partying. But due to my religious beliefs (Islam) I have chosen to abstain completely...

So here in CO it got down to -20 or so this past week, and now more than half the people I come across are sick (including me). Any of you guys battling influenza right now, or happen to know some good natural medicines to help cope with it? I only mention it because this is the third time...

NEVER MIND it turned out to be a joke... sorry for the wasted thread

Saw Sound Tribe Sector 9 in Denver on Dec. 30th, blew my freakin' mind! This is the 2nd night, wish I was there but tickets were double the price for New Year's Eve. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qAcrXXYN9E4 I'm also a big fan of Deadmau5, Daft Punk, M83, Xploding Plastix, Infected Mushroom...

I know there are a lot of FABO members who own a wide variety of different and interesting cars, so I'm wondering if anyone here happens to own or "be interested in" older Porsches from the '80s and earlier. My buddy's dad owns a '98 911 Targa (last year of air-cooled) and while it's not a...

Here it is so far. Looks pretty good to me... http://www.allpar.com/corporate/chrysler-group/five-year-plan.html

Well as some of you may know I'm currently attending my freshman year at UCCS for a Mechanical Engineering degree. I'm taking Calculus 3 and Physics 2 and they're both pretty challenging but today I got really discouraged. This past Friday I took our second Unit Test (Partial Derivatives) in...

Hey, I was just wondering if anyone on here who's good at Physics 2 could help me out. I'm studying for a test over electric fields, Gauss's law, and electric potential and I'm stuck on a problem that I think is supposed to be Gauss but I'm not sure. Here's the problem: "An infinitely long...

Hey everyone, just sitting here at home thinking about things. I've been kinda depressed lately because almost all of my friends have gone away to college. One other friend along with me is going to UCCS but my other friends moved away to other colleges, at least an hour and a half away. I...

Hey guys, went up to Denver today with a friend of mine to check out an old 318 Dodge van. We tried to get it started but the owner said it sat for around 3 years so the gas is in pretty bad shape; it would start and run for a couple seconds if we poured gas down the carb but the float bowls...

Happy 4/20 everyone! I only think it's fair to start a thread about this since someone else made one about St. Patrick's Day. Don't worry, be happy! 8) :cheers: :happy6: :thumblef: :tongue3: :hello2:

Hey guys, I just watched 'Dazed and Confused' and was wondering if any of you old-timers (j/k, no offense) remember the '70's being at all like that movie. Because if they were, then the world is becoming a really crappy place. Now me personally I don't drink and probably wouldn't want to...

There's a 1978 Dodge W100 4x4 318/727 standard cab for sale in my town that I took a look at today and I'm just wondering what they're usually worth because the seller didn't put down a price on the "For Sale" sign. I doubt I'd ever make an offer but it would still be cool to know. The engine...

My friend's parents want me to get their old early-'50's Mercedes-Benz running and I want to know where to start. It has the 1.7L 4-cyl. Diesel (rated at a whopping 40 HP!) that I believe hasn't ran for at least a year. I was thinking of cleaning the injectors and changing the vital fluids, as...
