Subject: Re: Message Order Date: Fri, 12 Jan 2001 09:17:59 -0700 This problem doesn't happen directly to me, but it may be that nothing is "wrong" at all. I often see this on other lists, and especially at my appartment where I download mail every 1/2 hr. Here's a possible scenario. A machine is running sendmail and gets bogged down and stops recieving messages. The machine sending mail to this bogged down machine then queues up the messages until the next "run", often around 1/2 to 1 hr. In the mean time, the replies to the original message are sent out. The originally bogged down machine has cleared out its mail queue and is ready to process/recieve messages. The reply messages now go straight through to your machine. Then the queue is processed and the original questions go through, now after the answers arrived. Chip > -----Original Message----- > From: rexbennett eibiz.net [mailto:rexbennett eibiz.net]

Subject: Re: erratic engine higher rpms
This rig has a 4 barrel carb on it right? It sounds like the float levels are off. If it is a Holley or Ford Motorcraft then resetting it is a matter of taking out the plugs on the side of the carb and adjusting the level until the fuel just does not run out. The threads on the adjuster are really fine so it takes a bit to get it where you need it. The engine is running while doing this so be careful with the fuel that may spill on your hot manifold. This will make more sense if you are familiar with the Holley line. I had the same sounding problem last winter, very frustrating.

Subject: Burp Approaching Date: Fri, 12 Jan 2001 11:22:52 -0700 This morning before starting the truck, I checked the coolant reservoir and it was level with the mark label COLD. Okay so the system must have just about all of the capacity it should hold. We are fast approaching swapping the hoses to the heater core. Will do that tomorrow morning once the sun warms things up a bit. It has to be something blocking the flow,...who put that idea in my head? I like it, thanks. Sunday if the heater still does not produce heat, then the burping will ensue. The highest point is certainly the propane regulator coolant lines, that will be easy to access. I can leave the engine running, crack the line and see what happens. Steve: As far as the brand of thermostat is concerned I really don't recall. It was purchased at Checker Auto Parts. I seem to remember the cardboard backing being striped yellow and blue? I looked for the bleed off nipple so that I could install it correctly and noticed there was none. If none of the above work I will remove the thermostat cover and see if I installed it wrong. Maybe since it's mounted in the verticle position on the 5.0L it slipped during the installation? I do remember the cover being grooved to accept the thermostat, I imagine that if it were installed incorrectly I would develop a leak but I do not beleive I have. There is no tell-tale drips/wet spots, nor the infamous smell of anti-freeze. Thanks Chuck, Bob, Steve,D.P. Whipkey, Steve, Uncle Les and all others.

I am more than positive most of you Ford fans out there can help me with something. I am wanting to rid my truck from the catayletic converter and switch to a true dual exhaust system. What has to take place in order for this to happen regarding any sensors and what not. Also, where should I start looking for headers, meaning will regualr 5.0L "shorties" work or will all the major brand producers make headers that fit my truck? By chance what size of ID pipe should I use, 2 1/2". Thanks a bunch! ideasusr home.com

Subject: ADMIN: New list policy Since December 2, FTE has received a total of 24 emails from list subscribers containing the "Sexy Fun" virus (sometimes known as "Snowhite and the Seven Dwarfs"). In each case, our anti-virus software has caught it. Additionally, the list server has successfully stripped virus code 36 times since Dec 2 (you can't get a virus through our list server because it strips all attachments). I don't know who started this epidemic but everyone who's system has sent a virus is at fault. Anyone with a computer connected to the Internet should, without exception, run anti-virus software. Our new policy is: Make sure you have anti-virus software on your computer. Although our list software rejects posts with attachments, we are notified by it of all attachments. If we receive notification that a virus was sent by your system, you will be removed immediately and banned from resubscribing. In other words, if your system sends a virus, you can't resubscribe ---- forever. Yes, this is harsh, but the issue is very serious. What would you do if you received emails with virus attachments 1-5 times per day? If you don't have anti-virus software, do yourself a favor and get it. Then run the update utility every week or two. Later, Ken Payne Admin, Ford Truck Enthusiasts ------------------------------ From: Lingus0169 aol.com

Subject: Re: ADMIN: New list policy Date: Fri, 12 Jan 2001 20:46:18 -0600 While I agree with 99% of this policy you can't say that just because you run an antivirus program and keep it updated you are 100% protected. I am very diligent with antivirus software on the systems I am responsible for and run forced updates at least once a week but there are times when a virus spreads too fast and the antivirus venders get caught. For example "I Love You Virus" hit our systems nearly a day before there was fix and there are sure to be more like this in the future. Certainly repeat offenders or people passing old viruses should be dealt with but I would hate to see someone permanently banned from the list when they are taking very good precautions and get hit with one of these viruses that there is no protection for.

Subject: ADMIN: More... New list policy This email is in response to a question/concern posted on a couple of the mailing lists.... First, if anyone doesn't believe the virus isn't a serious problem, I just received two more email's from list members while writing this that had the previously mentioned virus attached. Second, it takes far too much time to keep a score board of who's been warned and who hasn't. I'm not going to be an absolute tyrant, if the virus is too new for anti-virus software I certainly won't fault the user. If however, the virus is currently covered by anti-virus software they'll be unsubscribed. I understand that not everyone is computer savvy, but anti-virus software is a basic necessity. Since viruses make prime-time news, how can anyone not be aware that they exist? No one gets AIDS on purpose, but anyone having sex out of wed-lock without a condom has no one to blame but themselves if they get infected. Likewise, take precaution with your system and it will not get infected. There's one way users can prevent infection of their system even by new viruses that haven't yet been added to their anti-virus software: Don't open executable attachments (including self-extracting ZIPs), don't open screen saver attachments and don't use Microsoft e-mail software or if you do use it, turn off macros. Also, my family and FTE's employees are entirely dependent on the operation of FTE's 5 computer systems in order to make a living. The list users are not dependant on the operation of our systems in order to earn a paycheck. We, however, are. There's more here at stake than someone not being able to read list mail. Let me put it this way.... if you ran a business and someone wrote you a check that bounced, would you take a check from them again?

I was just a little concerned about the once every year or two virus that has no protection. I personally think you are doing an outstanding job with the list, much better that any other list I am now or have been apart of.

Subject: [80-96-list] ADMIN: More... New list policy This email is in response to a question/concern posted on a couple of the mailing lists.... First, if anyone doesn't believe the virus isn't a serious problem, I just received two more email's from list members while writing this that had the previously mentioned virus attached. Second, it takes far too much time to keep a score board of who's been warned and who hasn't. I'm not going to be an absolute tyrant, if the virus is too new for anti-virus software I certainly won't fault the user. If however, the virus is currently covered by anti-virus software they'll be unsubscribed. I understand that not everyone is computer savvy, but anti-virus software is a basic necessity. Since viruses make prime-time news, how can anyone not be aware that they exist? No one gets AIDS on purpose, but anyone having sex out of wed-lock without a condom has no one to blame but themselves if they get infected. Likewise, take precaution with your system and it will not get infected. There's one way users can prevent infection of their system even by new viruses that haven't yet been added to their anti-virus software: Don't open executable attachments (including self-extracting ZIPs), don't open screen saver attachments and don't use Microsoft e-mail software or if you do use it, turn off macros. Also, my family and FTE's employees are entirely dependent on the operation of FTE's 5 computer systems in order to make a living. The list users are not dependant on the operation of our systems in order to earn a paycheck. We, however, are. There's more here at stake than someone not being able to read list mail.

New list policy Date: Sat, 13 Jan 2001 02:17:50 -0700 So if someone has their Norton LiveUpdate set to run the 1st of every month and a virus comes out the 2nd of the month and they propogate it, they are permanently banned.. Pretty harsh it sounds like. I think you need to think about this a little more before issuing permanent policy. I can appreciate your position as list master, but I think you need to give the average user a little time to respond to a normal virus threat. After all, Norton default is to run once a month and the typical user has no clue how to change that. It is fortunate that the list server filters out attachments and does not contaminate the list, so why be so harsh on your rules? mike miller ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 13 Jan 2001 14:03:20 -0500 From: Ken Payne <kpayne ford-trucks.com>
