Maybe everyone could put a list together of what they want to work on or get done next meet. That way the right tools etc..can be on hand.
By the way Charlie, do you have 220 out there? I can bring both stick and mig welders, a cutting rig (non plasma, sorry) and with enough persuation, my 60 gal air compressor.
I for one, would LOVE to get my vac pump leak fixed. I have Fixinrams kit already. I know that more than one person out there also wanted to fix the same problem. Just an idea.

I didn't do it until after my physical therapy. My wife went along with me. I was showing her the conversion that was being done and she didn't feel that I needed a mega cab. That was until she got in the back of that thing.

Well, poo. In order to get the 2nd channel (aux button) of the remote start to activate my high idle, I have to use like 5 relays. What a pain. Oh well. When it's all done, I will be able to start the truck then kick in the high idler all hands free...

The reason for the 5 relays is because the aux button only throws a momentary signal. So, I need to convert that signal into a constant on and then be able to turn it off. It has been WAY too long since I have had to remember this stuff...
Of course Brian will chime in with a simple solution being the brainiac he is

Sure, anytime is fine - they spend most of their time on the garage floor anyway.

Wayne, couldn't you just use an ordinary on/delay timer? Not as cheap as a $5 lighting relay, but a momentary signal will initiate a state change tailored to your needs.

The remote start system will do a delay of sorts. It can be programmed to activate an accessory for 20 minutes then shut off. I want the option of activating it and turning it off when I want to. With the 20 minute run thing on the unit, there is no way to turn it off other than hitting the switch.
If I can get this figured out, I would then have everything in place to have the high idle kick on when using a under hood welder, compressor or winch, anything that would benefit from the idle coming up.
