Good morning everyone.


I want this engine in my truck.
I went to the Dynomite Diesel event and it was HUGE.
When I got there, there was a long line of Dodges clear out to the street waiting for thier turn on the dyno.
So I didn't bother getting in the queue, it would have been a very long wait.

Here's the Album of the pictures that I took.

You and me both, she went to hang out with soe of her friends for the weeknd and everything was fine and then all of asudden she stoped texting me. 4 hrs later chit hits the fan..
at least you aren't married.

i came home to an empty house, $100,000 in credit card debt, and a note on the kitchen counter saying "i have left. have a nice life"
3 months later i found out she was living in a trailer park with a drug addict, and doing cocaine.
when she finally died 16 years later, they had ingested over 5 million dollars worth of drugs, emptying out her trust fund, and collecting welfare

Good morning, all.

Step 1 in getting the truck street ready is complete. Now on to step 2. Actually getting the stinkin batteries in the truck. I'll probably go do that and wash it later this afternoon.

Maybe put it and the 6.0 up top the hill and get a few pictures. Depends on how things go I guess.

Can anyone tell me if you plug in an external monitor to a laptop, does it start working right away, or do you have to hit some buttons on the computer to make it recognize the new display?

Trying to figure out what's wrong with my daughters laptop. You can hear the computer come on, but the screen stays black. Plug in an external display and boot up, still nothing. Plug in the external display to my laptop and it doesn't work either. Just need to know if the old monitor is broke or if I'm dealing with operator error.

What goes around comes around hey Tom.
Thanks, they went pretty well. Cleaned some bathrooms, patched some drywall hole and primed a few for paint. The outside is going to be next and thats going to be an all day event...

He NEEDS the job though I havent been able to get in touch with him so far, and Im kinda hoping hes got a good reason that he didnt show up.

EDIT: Jake (my employee) called me back he just over slept...there went his job. Im kinda friends with the kid though so I dont know how that will end up..

I think there is a few buttons you have to push, but I have no idea what they are.

look for the monitor controller in the control panel

you should be able to set it to view the same as the laptop or have a different screen...

some laptops require a setup for the monitor to work
