I'm just about over this little pistol.  It's been back home to SA once (a few years ago) for the same deal.  Changed mags to Wilson Combat back then.  Helped, but only marginally.  This is a serious feed ramp issue.  Will not feed HP at all and rounded nose FMJ 60% of the time.  Grrrrr.  Any tips before she goes "home" again?

OMG this is too funny!  But I better tell my dad quick before they call him... ;)   I'm assuming they call on POTS?  I know a few people that still have that...

LOL!  It says Alcoa is 58 miles from my zip.  It's actually 15.  WTH?

Caster, the reason my Red Tops only last two years is that my 02 Durango has a unusually sensitive idle control system.  The PCM actually reads base voltage of the battery and anything below 12.4V  it will have difficulty idling.  It is a well documented fault with these mopars... and quite a bother actually.  This fault happens regardless of alternator output levels from the diode packs.  If the batt is below 12.4V without the top charge, your idle control circuit will become more erratic over time and eventually cause stalling at stoplights.  The engine will crank/start fine.  Just a clarification.     Carry on.  LOL  

I had a lady who kept running down batteries come into the shop I used to work at.  Her brake light switch was stuck and the brake lights never went off!  LOL  All was normal after that fix.   The point being, you either have a voltage "leak", or poor charging from the alternator/Vreg assy.

My kid can drive at 18.  I don't need the liability... let him deal with some sue happy lawyer.

Optima Red Tops last me about 2 years.  The bottom line is, fiberglass mat can't do what lead can. Duralast from AutoZone and the Wally batteries are made by the same co, and Wally has them cheaper.   You really need to check that charging system though.  If it is eating batteries, there is a reason why. 

This officer I believe was ill and on the job.  He did not pat the guy down FIRST. He paid for it with his life.  RIP sir.   Just an example of how a benign conversation can go bad in a split second.   LEOs:  Be careful.  Follow procedure.  ALWAYS.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VAcLOO0vOko&feature=youtu.be

The wife is a Kroger gal.  She shops.  I serve as security detail.  :)

This reminds me of the Salem Witch Trials.  sigh...

Hell, at my age when I see a pretty young woman...             I wonder what her mom looks like.  ;)

I find the "tac" guys amusing.  The have no concept of silence, speed and concentrated firepower.  Silence being the key to the kingdom.

This is 100% instructional error.  Very sad indeed for all involved.

Congrats!  Your hard work will pay off in spades!  :)

I've spent some time with Will out in Vegas at a tradeshow.  I'll say this as bluntly as I can.  There is no WAY IMHO this man is guilty of the accusation.  I found him to be a forthright, stand up guy who is straight as an arrow.  This entire situation reeks of sour grapes. 

All my rides get Valvoline full syn, and their interval is 6500-7500 miles, depending on when I feel like doing them.  The Honda and Hyundai get OEM filters (I get them at cost), but the Durango gets a K&N for the stroked 408.   :usa:

Dolomite, you are the reason I am on this forum.  If it wasn't for you, I'd be missing a lot.  I'll always have your 6.

There are videos online I think.  I just don't want to see them.   :doh: 

:screwy:  Dude, that one is cray-cray.  Give her a good facial scrub and swipe the ring while she sleeps. There are SOOOOO many other gals out there to meet.

First, I apologize if this is posted elsewhere... did a cursory search and didn't find this topic.   I really have a hard time believing this guy is one of "us".  His provocative actions and unsafe weapon handling (muzzle awareness) give us ALL a bad name.  Maybe he is a plant from the antis.     If not, we have to muzzle these idiots asap before they do real damage to the cause.   http://www.nydailynews.com/news/crime/ariz-man-ar-15-busted-coffee-run-article-1.1883678  

Very noble of you Joe.  Good things are about to happen I'll bet.  Nice guys DO finish first.

I just got back from MI.  It went from $3.66 to $4.00 in one hour last Thursday.  Personally I'm glad to home to a free state. Also saw TWO convoys going south on 65, each 1.5 miles long in IN.  Seriously loaded stuff.  Another buddy of mine mentioned a number of trains in NJ pulling 100+ cars of MIL items moving south as well.  That ain't guard action friends.

My MTD turns 18 years old this year.  I maintain it myself, and we mow a little over an acre with it that puts 1.25-1.5 hrs on the meter per mowing.  We also use it for seeding, de-thatching and fertilization operations.  It has the 14.5 Hp Briggs and a 6-speed manual gearbox.  Every June I change the oil, sharpen the blades, replace the air filter, and fuel filter (I use a real in-line fuel filter not the screen type).  I buy a new spark plug every 3 years.  This year she got new front tires from Northern Tool, and I bought a new battery about 8 years ago.  Nothing else has been needed.   Unit cost on this mower was $750 at Sam's Club, and the glossy grey paint still shines.  I can't see shelling out all those $$ for a JD or CC big box or not.  Hmmm.  Maybe I'll ceramic coat the exhaust this winter.  ;)

  And yet, when you jar heads get in a jam, who comes in with suppression and robust flavors of ordinance? Don't hear you guys whinin' about the twins then, even when we light em up.  :)   VFA-25  The Fist of the Fleet.
