    I think the majority of the electronic garbage is so you can't diagnose it yourself.

    Very likely culprit, our jeep gave us a lot of trouble with the TPS.

    That’s what I’m afraid it is. It’s done this a few times already. Have to cycle key, and push pedal to floor to “Calibrate” the pedal. It sputters, goes into limp mode, now it’s stalling out. Too cold to be changing the TPS. The Throttle Body is way down in there. I’m going to throw the new gas peddle on. Hope for the best. $112, I’ll have a good spare for future diagnosis, worse case.

    Started work on the sketch layout for my next project. Ive been doing quite a bit of studying of floral design and carving... Hope I'm not biting off more than I can chew...

    If your going to get washed there... You either need to be there by 0600 or wait until about 1500, oh and just forget about it on saturdays... I scale there all the time as my company has a charge account.

    After what we saw you do with Tidbit’s belt, I think you got this. :)

    You just need one of those code readers to narrow it down. According to the number, the problem is somewhere in the western hemisphere. :rolleyes: :biggrin_25523:

    If there is room behind the trailer... Backbunder just far enough that the 5th wheel will take the weight, raise landing gear 2 inches, hook airlines, release brakes back under and latch the fifth wheel with some speed and dont stop... Let the momentum of the truck bounce the trailer out of the holes. But this requires at least 5 feet clear behind trailer... If not more. And it's hard on fifth wheels and king pins.

    Seems like he’d have to hit it awful hard for that.

    I think if his drive tires are on good ground and he can get traction, and a tug one way or the other can’t break that loose, a knock on the kingpin won’t do it.

    I'm sure it will look good... But it will be pushing my abilities. Ive seen what this type of tooling SHOULD look like, and I hope I can at least come close to that. Floral carving is like the pinnacle of leather tooling.

    I will probably put the tooling of this off until after I get my taxes back. I have put together a list some tooling stamps... About $165 for 13 stamps, and that's going with the lesser expensive variety. Some are upgrades of what I already have, but most are ones I dont yet have. I would really like to have a complete set of Barry King stamps... But they range from $30 to $60 for a single stamp.
