  1. And we keep things this way because we have an entitled elite in our country who get wealthy off of the military industrial complex, and it ain't about to change anytime soon. Remember the words of Dwight Eisenhower, one of the best men to ever sit in the oval office. Beware of...."the military industrial comples..." Sixty years later he is so right it isn't even funny, at all.
  2. And this is why I bitch about the last thirty years so much, and I am really equally angry with both political parties for getting us here. Let's just try to face our problems like adults before they take us under... And this is why I dislike John Kaisich for governor of Ohio so much also...he strikes me as another guy that will walk through the back door rather than the front, and be unwilling to face the problems that bugger us right now.
  3. Could you very politely go on Fox, MSNBC, CBS, Air America, and anywhere else your voice can be heard, and tell about three hundred million Americans the same thing? You are SO right on and we agree SO much on this it isn't even funny!
  4. Didn't know that...cool! Cool...I've never ever seen one of these, and I've been to a lot of different air museums.
  5. DO NOT TELL ME THAT! I don't need another old car, I'm just recovering from that addiction...er hobby..um..how much did they want, and what was it like?
  6. Sounds like a modern ricer tale.....
  7. Heading off to bed myself...a sleeping cat and cuddling wife await....
  8. By the "Dual Mustang" do you mean the P-38?
  9. I'll check next time I go to the Columbus pick and pull....
  10. Heat has to transfer somehow....if the water passes through too rapidly, of there is sediment keeping it from contacting the inside of the core....THat would do it. Which is why I was so concerned that the inside of the core was actually clean....
  11. Assuming that the water temp is where it is supposed to be, it is not transferring heat. The smaller passages probably SLOW DOWN the water enough to release heat into the cabin of the Tahoe. That MIGHT be where the problem lies.
  12. ...a stumper...for me too.... A pocket digital thermometer would tell you what the core is temping at, and might gt you useful information on how much of an actual water flow issue you've got....
  13. How about the water pump? I've known older water pumps that don't flow well....just banging my head. Also, are you sure the hoses are in good shape? Grasping for straws here. BTW...saw a Green 3rd gen corvette, T top Coupe, L48 automatic, matching green interior, maybe a 74 or 75. Later style (think 78 Indy Pace car Replica) Corvette rally wheels. Parked next to my work truck when I was running a service call the other day. Thought of you and another green third gen.
  14. I've seen cabinet work I'd trade an Escalade for. I am a huge fan of about any kind of custom woodworking....
  15. Then by all means replace the core! I was thinking it would be a four hour PITA job to get through....
  16. ...and you would be correct also. We've had serious forms of it since 1980 or so, but it is rearing its ugly head more and more now.
  17. Alrighty, then pick either war. I meant WW II, but I is a moron and cayunt spell weyull
  18. I've had horrible luck buying anything from Pep boys, and avoid them like the black plague. As for the heater core, you could try getting some commercial grade Ice Machine cleaner or some commercial grade evaporator coil cleaner and running it through the coil. Essentially both are a mild acid that will eat away sediments and deposits. Your other trick? They make a solution for dishwashers that is a form of acid that is nickel safe and aluminium safe, but will remove calcium build up and sediment like there is no tomorrow. The coil cleaning solution you would have to buy from a wholesale type of supply house...but several of those sell to the general public as well. You also could set up a cash "business account" in your business name and buy over the counter. The dishwasher stuff is available from Lowes, at least around here. It takes hot (120 degrees plus) water to activate, but that shouldn't be any problem. For under ten bucks you can buy either 3/8" or 1/4" plastic line from Lowes or a plumbing supply dealer and an adapter to hook up to a sink. From there it's hot water and you are off to the races. My other Mustang was a Fox body, and it had a heater core that was an absolute utter pain in the arse to get to and change. I wouldn't wish that project, even on loki.... (Just kidding loki...) Can't imagine what it's like in the Tahoe, but it can't be good.
  19. We might be able to work something out....
  20. I've just seen really crappy stuff on things that involve life safety...such as fire alarm sysems. Inspection system should be simple and easy to go through.... I don't advocate starving them, just "Put them on a leash...."
  21. For me, B 26 Maurader, One a day in Tampa Bay, baby. What a hot rod of a plane.... What would you all fly?
  22. I've seen more absurd claims or ideas....
