Well that's terribly disappointing. You have the 3.5l?
Edit: I do see mention of a PCV concern with that engine.

Yes, the 3.5. There is lots of questioning of its reliability
One of these PCB clamps
BURNTEC PCB Holder Clamp - Holds Circuit Board for Soldering 360° Adjustable Aid 5051259175525 | eBay
Saw it poster in a thread, thought it was this one, then lost the post.
Great post to whoever's posted it, wherever was posted!
After years of soldering wobbly upside down boards, this will be invaluable!

Hi badman,
Sounds like a project!
I was able to prewire my house before we moved in due to a great builder. So it got CAT-3 for phones, CAT-5 for computers and some RG-6 for antenna runs. It has all turned out to be pretty darned convenient. Glad I was able to do it.

Indeed! My previous owner was an electrician, so there's some network cable installed, but naturally it's set up for what the owner needed, not what I need- very ad-hoc solutions, rather than a good, formal wall plate setup with labels and such. Rather than try to shoehorn what's there to meet my needs, I'm going to run my own, with proper switching and such as much as possible, and leverage his where I can find an application for it.

Yup. I suppose turbochargers are a fact of life in ICE design these days, but they still feel like an Achilles heel to me. Kinda like cheap little cooling fans instead of heat sinks in electronic equipment.
HI badman,
Yeah, mine all terminates on a CAT-5 panel for network, and a BIX field for the phones. Everything goes to the same spot in the basement and the networking is set up on a relay rack, and a backboard along with the phone switch (Partner ACS 6.0). Tht's where the phone line runs before anything happens with it. Confuses the Bell home techs, makes the commercial Bell techs feel right at home.

Uh-oh, I'm more than double that.
A hot dog for lunch. Came with two wieners. Euro wieners. Sometimes you just have to.
One of the most enjoyed meals of my life was just a hot dog and a cup of black coffee bought from a vendor cart on a beach just up from Santa Cruz CA. Had been walking the beach for an hour carrying my shoes and socks. Was cold and hungry.
Also clearly recall the first time I tasted knackwurst and hot mustard chased with a beer. Num!

Doc, the wurst foods are sometimes the best. 😉
I know you're an old boy, like so many others among this group, I am soon to join the club, I am happy to do so. The difference being at this point is you have not experienced a good pork pate.
(others can read the food thread)

As to what I bought...
Colcafe finally cam back into stock at Walmart.com.... though of course only in the two for only a buck each more configuration. Anyway, as it is by far the only instant that I've tried that actually tastes like coffee, I ordered six jars. Should be here Monday.

Both our vehicles have more than 1hp/cuin., and are naturally aspirated. There are no issues with long term reliability with either of them.

Biggest contibutor to longevity... change oil frequently! Just approaching 5,000 hrs on Predator 4000 gen which I run daily. With rarevexception gets an oil change once a week.

Technology has advanced a little since then.......I would say 2hp/cui is still pushin the limit.
Picked up the guts from a JVC RC-EZ31 via swap meet/eBay. Finally gonna get a shot at building a Shigaclone after having missed the boat by quite a margin. Been mourning the loss of my old Rotel 855 for a while and substituting this and that for playing CDs. Still need to figure out what to do about a DAC.
