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.

Never heard of it either. But if it works, it works.
Hope you enjoy it.
Glad to hear the truck is running again, mine's about to die...

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

Oil BS, I think it's somewhere towards the beginning of the chat.

To answer the other question you had, yes, it is still the oil BS. and I am getting very fed up with it.
