I'm 6'3", I find the montero to be comfortable. Although the way the seat is shaped, my wallet digs into my rear much more so in this car than most others. I also find that they are really pretty quiet on the highway. A lot of the noise is going to depend on tire tread and the surface you're...

I think I had a similar issue... the solution was to open up the CSV in chirp, copy/paste the freq's I wanted into the radio tab. Then upload to radio.

sounds like your mac might not be seeing the radio or the USB adapter properly. I think this is what I did to get it working on my mac book pro http://changux.co/osx-installer-to-pl2303-serial-usb-on-osx-lio/

I have been having some problems with my BaoFeng that others are having as well. Basically when you put another antenna on it, it overloads the receiver. An antenna which should increase reception, actually decreases it. It looks like the issue may just be with some of the BaoFeng 5R units, as...

mine just (mostly) slid off. IIRC there is one tooth coming off the crank that goes into that sprocket. You could probably use a screwdriver to pry it forward a little. You might be able to use some kind of puller, but it shouldn't take much force at all to get it free. One thing to check out...

I was abel to get pocketpacket to work as well. Took a bit of configuration, but I suppose if it just worked to transmit over the radio right out of the box, that could really cause some problems. I ended up just plugging in a headphone into my iphone, holding the ear bud up to the mic of the...

there is actually another type of diesel that many farmers run in their farm machinery. As far as I understand, it is basically the same diesel, except that it has red dye so that officials can easily determine if you are running the lower taxed diesel where you shouldn't be...

oh yeah... that thing! Yes, it has to come off. it really isn't a problem, except for the AC compressor. There are 4 bolts that hold it in place that are pretty cumbersome to get to. check out this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vunvsjph9Yk (turn your sound down, the music is quite...

Whole plate? I couldn't figure out how to get the new timing belt on without removing the crankshaft pulley.

not really sure it was luck... I just followed the instructions in the FSM (I think). The only difference was I didn't have the special tool to hold the crank pulley, so I used the chain wrench. It put a small little nick into the pulley grooves, but I fixed it with a screwdriver, good as new...

The timing belt wasn't shot, but the bearings from the two pulleys, and the seized water pump were :-) I used a chain wrench around the harmonic balancer/crank pulley. That held the crank pulley in place while I put the proper torque on the bolt that holds it all together. I'm not really sure...

I'm pretty sure that my crank sprocket came off with the pulley when I was wiggling everything off. Just so as long as you get the sprocket and crank pulley lined up how they need to be, I don't think it matters too much how you get them fixed together. Just as long as they are together tightly.

I can do a few days of listening before needing a charge on the standard battery. not sure about TX as I don't have my license yet.

I ended up doing a repair with JB Weld. I took two pieces of plastic food wrap, held them taught, and then closed the Fob back up with the plastic wrap sandwiched between them. This allowed me to liberally apply JB weld to both halves without having to worry about getting it where I didn't want...

I purchased a Comet SMA-24J to replace the rubber duck on my Baofeng UV-5R+. Tonight, while listening in on a local net, I was switching between the two antenna (24J and RD). Pretty much without fail, I was getting a better sounding reception with the duck. Everyone that I could hear, seemed to...

@Sabre, mind posting a photo or two of where you drilled? (wouldn't want to drill in the same spot myself). Also, @SoCalMonty has a roller that he is parting out. If the wiring can come free, and there isn't any difference between the years... might be a good way to pick up a spare :-) Glad...

Will do.... I agree, that much free play is kind of silly. I did remove the dust cap, and looked at the splines, there is a really small amount of play between the spline shaft, and the rotor/hub. I do need to take it apart to see where the play is coming from. The axle does turn with the...

you can have someone else change your oil? :Wow1: I'll hafta get my zerk on this weekend.

I think I may have found a bit more. As you can see from the video, there is a lot of slop before the drivers wheel grabs. I can still spin the hub once it hits its resistance point, but it doesn't provide any resistance between two points. Also, the spline that causes the 4wd to power the...

VERY interesting!
