A rocketfish PCI card that has 5.1 surround sound ability.

$30 at Best buy.

As I was installing it I found why the old one stopped working.
I put the plug in the spot for a mic , not speaker!

I cant decide if I should take it back or use it.

I am leaning towards just using it, I will have to see how much better it sounds.

Never heard of that brand....what did you have before?

My SB Live 24-bit card has 4.1 surround capabilities, and my stereo's receiver has 5.1 surround ins and outs....I could run some extra cables and get surround working, but I only have two speakers that can handle my receiver, so it'd be kinda silly...

My truck lives once again! I cranked it up this evening and it started up fine (I started it the other day too). I dumped a whole quart of trans fluid into the C6 so it'd go in gear, and I got it to stay running in Reverse, but it's still running enough like booboo to be drivable.

I just need to get a big bucket so I can clean my carburetor. The carb bath bucket is too small to fit the carb body into, so I need to find something else a little bigger to put it in.

If it helps, when I fully disassembled my carb, I used a can opener to open the carb cleaner can all the way (it had a paint style lid) and the main body slid right in (a holley 4180) of course disposing of it gets harder after you mangle the container it is in...

@Josh What's it doing?

@6fifty I never thought to try that...a Holley of that variety is a good bit larger than a Motorcraft 2bbl, isn't it?

I'm hoping to get my drivers license this month during Thanksgiving break....I want to be able to drive my truck to work
