Either the network interface card is only 10/100 or possibly the network cable.
Yeah, definitely sounds like something up that connection 410. Doesn't sound like any ammount of CAT cable is going to help with your struggles, but (if the right equipment is used) wired should blow wireless away on speed.
I prefer to provide my own modem when/if possible, but when I have to use theirs I want a modem only and provide my own router. I like having the components separated and serving their own function. I wouldn't be too happy if the ISP crippled the speeds on the wired ports of their modem, and got crippled speeds to my router as a result.
**** me running. Welcome to the game…
Time for a vacation
I do understand the feeling. Experience it too often myself, as do other members I'm sure. Hopefully there is a positive end in sight for all of us and we can take some nice vacations soon.
Heck, maybe we just need to put other stuff on hold and take one anyway to reset and hope things improve as a result. I'm seriously considering taking about a week vacation and going somewhere before I start tearing into the floors in the kitchen. Need to atleast get the current project finished up first though. That would be getting the Ranger tuned and the and F-250 put back together for me.
so I woke up at 4am and loaded up my topside creeper, drove across town to do an emergency turbo install on my friends truck. The 7.3 turbo I rebuilt 2 months ago seized up?? The wicked wheel was into the housing
I’ve rebuilt about 10 of those stock garrets never ran into this before. Anyways they decided to upgrade and got stage 1 kc ball bearing turbo overnite ($1600 investment) he is in a wheelchair so this truck is his only ride to work. Cannot afford more downtime because his employees were commuting him. So I ran over there had the turbo swapped in 2-3 hours booked back home in time for tuner appointment only to be told desktop no work….
Eddie is overnite me his laptop I’ll have it Friday or sooner… we will try again
On th e good side of things the new kc turbo is *****in… that superduty is a rocket ship and my buddy has his truck back
Look at that sucker whistle!!
Nice! Sucks, but very nice. Still on stock turbo myself, but also only around 205k miles. I'm not planning a bigger turbo, but I do have a KC balanced assembly sitting on the shelf to install when I eventually need to pull it and do up pipes (or whatever else). Currently got it drained for a T-stat, new hoses, heater core bypass valve (it's a good thing down here), and coolant swap to ELC. Decided while it's drained and also due for a oil change, I'm going to pull the radiator (for extra room) and install a new LPOP. We talked about the 250 in PMs, but I'v discovered that my HPOP reservior is not draining like thought and LPOP has been found to cause my symptoms at around the 200k mile mark, well it's kind of an ideal time to replace it with all the fluids drained.
Eddie is overnighting his laptop? WOW! That's despiration, and I almost wonder if it wouldn't have been cheaper for him to buy you one and have it delivered. I guess his is already set up with the relevant software and stuff. Hope this tuning session is more successful. FWIW, I'd probably have tried the desktop run off inverter idea. I'm a bit of a computer nerd and will always have
atleast one laptop that fit the needs or would go buy one if I didn't. (Honestly I've got a couple that'd do it, and a couple desktops, and pieces to cobble something else if I needed it.) If I were in a pinch I'd definitely try to run a desktop off an inverter. Tuner doesn't need to know if it's a laptop or a desktop.
Speaking of tuning, the tunes for mine were ordered from Lasota yesterday and in my inbox today. Not remote tuning like yours, just emailed and dataloging as necessary. Pulled the upper intake this afternoon when I got home from work and popped the new injectors in. Only about 30 minutes from the time that I parked it from the drive home to the time I started wrenching. It was about 30 degrees out there in the yard, and this was first time I've ever been happy about working on a hot engine. Finish reassembling after work tomorrow, install the Talor wires and Screamin Demon coil packs, and load the tunes.
Question about the PCV grommet. Do you glue them in?
Original PCV grommet was in bad shape, so replaced it when I rebuilt the engine. New grommet looks good, but doesn't fit tight. When I reached back to pull the PCV the grommet came right out with it. I don't think that it is leaking externally. It didn't show anything during all of my smoke checks, even when the 710 cap and pinholes in the dipstick tube were smoking. It would be nice if it fit tighter and stayed put though.
