I'd do it in a heartbeat. But I am not scared of heights or whatever. I've always wanted to skydive, hang glide, cliff diving, etc.

In other words...I wont be on one to get a chance to jump out!
So you're sorta like Marge Simpson on an airplane. You run around in circles and say "lemmmie off lemmie off lemmie off lemmie off lemmie off"

The last time I plugged it into the comp it first came up as a mass storage device, then all it does is charge the battery. My laptop is so old that it dosen't have bluetooth capabilitys. I have to forward pictures to my email.
Well thats only because you need a program on your computer that is capable of communicating with the phone. Bitpim should work for you.

I appreciate the thought but I've said it once and i'll say it again. Without my truck I'm like a 5. With the truck, I'm suddenly like an 8 or something. Its not me thats hot, its the truck.

I'll go out and fix something or build something and Randy will go "oh, thats nice"

LOL

He is a good guy.

Well it looks like it should support custom ringtones...but it doesn't have very much memory so I'm not sure if that would be a problem.
Neither do I but I still manage....

Good let me know if you like Bitpim. Its has a bit of a "vintage" feel to it...but read the how to's and it should be fairly self-explanatory. Somewhere on youtube is a bitpim tutorial.

I think I am going to go outside today and work on the truck a bit today. Supposed to be in the 70's. I want to install those aux marker lights today. Electrical stuff makes me nervous but I can usually handle automotive stuff. Just a power and a ground.

I just downloaded it. Now I have to find the cable that I had. Thanks!!

If you run into a problem or have any questions, with the lights give me a call. My phone is always on!

Mornin' folks!! Everything's gone well so far -- hard part is over, now just a little more testing, and we're done out here.

Cris --> That's just awesome. Can't say much more than what's been said! Other than you look hot in the jumpsuit!!

Lisa --> You are most definitely more than 5!! Jeez. Women are WAAAAY tougher on themselves than most any guy would be.

Oh, and that dude that makes the vids....... Be very careful with some of the stuff he says if you're using those for working on your own trucks. I watched a few of them and there are several mistakes, or just flat wrong statements. The most valuable part is that you can see what a lot of the stuff looks like apart before you tear into something. Watch the one where he puts on a WW -- he actually pulls the valve cover off!!! LMFAO!!!! And he uses an IMPACT WRENCH to remove/install the wheel!!! Knucklehead.....

JIm - if I am going to utilize the wiring for the license plate lights...I have a question.

There are two wires...one brown and one black. I take it brown is the one I am going to need to splice into?

I would "assume" you are right Lisa but I do not have any wiring diagram available at work. Do you have a test light/probe? to verify that is the one with power?

Somewhere...Randy has a Fluke.

But I'd have to cut it either way. I don't want to cut anything other than the one I need to hack into.

Well said joe, well said. Why just this morning after my shower I gave myself a solid 9.5, and by now, heck, might be a 10 since I've had my coffee.

You girls are frickin beautiful, just get used to it alright?

You don't have to cut it to check it, Lisa. You can either follow the lead to where you can get a probe on it, or pierce the insulation. Then wrap a piece of electrical tape, or swipe a dab of silicone on it where you made the hole.
