  1. My connection is miserable for some reason. It's great between plays and during commercials, but as soon as the ball gets snapped it becomes a nightmare. It's like torture- all I know is what happens after the play, but I can't really see it live as it happens.

    mine is as well...goign to try and reboot. last time I watched via justintv, it was pretty good, just a little lag

  2. wow- I was posting that I went to the WP site in re: ST photo on patriots page- then it said the thread disapeared....

    anyway- someone replied on the WP blog that they complained to the Patriots marketing, and now the site has changed the photo. can't figure out why someone would be offended by them using ST's photo.

  3. I don't get the negative "is this newsworthy" comments. Does something have to fit a "newsworthy" definition to be posted? I never thought so.

    In regard to the photo- its' cool imo. Can't say it was intentional, but maybe it was- out of respect. either way, I never get tired of seeing ST photos.

  4. Call a junk yard...they can tell ya the interchanges and give you a price too.

    Is their job.

    Hammering didn't work?

    I didn't feel comfortable trying that at the gas station- so I decided to tow it home first. Lets just say it was not a fun experience. I've towed a car before but my gf kept riding the brake, then wouldn't answer her cell phone. By the time we got home I was done.

    I will try it when she gets home from work (she has my truck and I took the day off:silly:)

    Junkyard said a 90-95 would work and they are out. I'm about to call around a couple other places.

  5. How can I find out if various year parts will work in a specific year? For example, if I want to find a used started for the 91 explorer, how can I find out if a 90 or 92 one would work? Figuring I'll spend the $45 for a scrap one, have my buddy put it in- then turn in this piece of crap vehicle.

  6. plan was to shop for cars tonight and turn in the clunker....it died at the gas station on the way to work. Can't get it jumped, has new battery from this weekend. making a very strong clicking noise. Does nothing if not hooked up to my truck's battery. I'm screwed for the Cars deal if I can't get it running at least to the dealer. So...you say hit it with a hammer? really hard? Any other temp fixes so I can at least get it a couple miles??

  7. I'd bet on the starter drive hung

    this the one with the big oil leak? if so starter hung is even more likely

    yeah same one.

    gf tells me this happened a couple years back and it was something like a vapor lock.

    This car qualifies for the cash for clunkers. We are car shopping this week. I have a 4 Runner- so I'm going to talk her into a fuel economy car.

  8. 91 ford explorer- I was just driving it after work. Stopped to get gf, went to resart and as it was turning over, my hand slipped so it didn't turn over completely. Now, icant start it at all. No juice whatsoever. The door locks won't even work. I got a ride home and didn't even attempt to jump start. Maybe it's that simple?

  9. the whole damn thing is covered in oil. I think we put a quart in every 3-4 weeks. I'm thinking just a seal- we drive this thing 55 miles a day (our round trip commute) and it seems to be holding up. I thought it would die out in March-but not yet.

    I'll try a heavy power washer. I wonder if the car wash engine washers will work. Haven't tried them.

  10. gf owns a 91 Ford Explorer. First- this thing is a beast and I have no idea why it still runs. The damn thing leaks oil like a faucet that is turned on. which leads me to this question-

    What is the best thing to clean all the oil off so I can figure out where the leak is coming from? I tried a liquid degreaser- didn't really do much. I don't want to scrub the entire engine, so looking for something that I can spray or pour on it, let it soak and rinse off. I know, asking for a lot- but any suggestions would help.
