    I would be checking the seal around the windshield. Most causes of unexplained issues are normally where somebody has done work before.:notsure:

    Its a tough look. The seal appears to be good... and when we ran a hose on the roof of the truck, nothing came in. I gotta get this gigured out before it starts freezing up here!

    thanks Matt. Between work and rain, I haven't gotten out to mess with it too much. The bearing or alternator just started yesterday. Can't be trashing my work dress shirts.

    I'll be checking it out good in the AM. Mod day my place? Shit, too far!!!!

    It was/IS the alternator. As I was backing into my parking spot (I'm working a maintenance shift from 6PM - 1AM) this eve, my radio turned off and battery light came on. I looked up at my scan guage and saw 8.0 volts! I turned on my grill lights and the truck stalled. I turned everything off and it started, but voltage didn't get over 8V. Looks like I'll need a ride home tonight!!!

    Alright.... wife wants a game system as she is addicted to first person shooter arcade games. Also wants something that our son can use for some educational games. The last game system I had was a playstation 1.... So what system is best for first person shooter and games like mario kart? She insists on getting a game system that the controller is a gun.

    need opionons as I am driving blind on which one to get.

    For what you are looking for out of a system, you should do a computer, but a custom build computer is very $$$. I would go with something easy, either go Xbox one or ps4 gaming quality is about the same just need to look at the options of each one and see which one you would prefer. Its a personal choice. I personally like Xbox, but the decision is yours by friend... or get a Nintendo Wii(controller you want as a gun), but that is an older system.
