fan problem is more than likely the blower resistor. when i see these fail, i normally see all speeds dead, 'cept high. there is a very slight possibility that the switch in the control head is going bad. this isn't common though. for not blowing cold. simple stuff first. 1)cycle the temp. control. verify that the vent outlet temp. goes all the way to hot. then cycle it back to cold. listen carefully(radio off). if you hear a "ticktickticktick" type of noise, you've got a problem in one of the blend control doors, or a bad blend door actuator. these are very common on fords. 2) open the hood, and visually verify that the a/c clutch engages. you'll hear a click as it does, and you'll see it spin. if it cycles too often(like once a second or once every couple seconds), your r134a is low. if it doesn't cycle at all, it could be low r134a, or other problems which could range from a blown fuse to a bad compressor. as for the cooling fans on high with a/c turned on. this is normal. they run on high when a/c is switched on to pull more air through the condenser. hope this helped some

i'm just bumping this to the top, rather than start another thread....any ideas of class #2?

can i safely assume that you've wired the hot wire to a fuse in the under dash fuse block? if so, that's a good start. anywhere near that fuse block, look for a screw, nut on a stud, or a bolt that is threaded into metal. you might find other wires already grounded under there. just place your ground there. it has to be threaded into metal though.

i think the pitchforks are already sharpened, and the torches lit. i went through something like this about a year ago. the product had nothing to do with firearms, and it wasn't a group purchase......it was something to be custom made for me. i kept getting excuse after excuse for nearly 2 months. this was with a person i'd met in real life(they live in new york though), and liked/trusted. during the problems, i discovered that another very good friend of mine also knows this person. i contacted them, and laid out what was going on. this person stepped in, and got me my money back in about 2 weeks. it was rather easy, although very frustrating. the person in question did not try to rip me off. they'd just gotten way overloaded with things going on in their life. to the point where even something that takes only a minute or 2 was extremely difficult to do. my point? perhaps this is what's happening right now. as i mentioned before, i've met, shot with, and bought from ryan before. there wasn't a single thing that would make me believe that he'd do this to you guys deliberatey. that all said, i hope you guys and him all reach a mutual agreement before things spin too much farther out of control.

even in nj, they'd be met with guns at a certain repair shop.

Posted 26 March 2014 - 08:04 PM Hey everyone, I dropped the sights off with my mail room to bring to the post office Monday, as I wasn't going to have enough time to get them there myself before I left for a business trip. I have emailed my assistant to look in to it for me and to get back to me in the am. As soon as I hear back I will report back. Regardless, I will be back in state late tomorrow afternoon to make sure if the packages are not received I can get to the bottom of this for everyone. I'll be on and off line tonight from the hotel to help answer any questions ______________________________________________________- Posted 27 March 2014 - 07:40 PM hey everyone, just got back in to the office from my trip. I have inboxed everyone and am posting here as well. Turns out the sights were never taken to the post office by my mail room. The office manager here intercepted them prior to the mail drop and seems to believe that i have violated company policy by using company resources to pay for the shipping of the sights. I came back to a very stern note on my desk to see her when i get in to discuss company policy. it burns me because i left instructions with the mail room that these were personal packages and paid for by me and were not put on the company account. I am not entirely sure how the office manager came to be involved in the first place. in any case, I am very sorry for the delay in getting these out. This is the first time i used my office mail room and i never anticipated this happening, especially since all they had to do is drop them off with the office mail at the end of the day. I have inboxed each buyer and will be contacting each of you tomorrow when i get in the office and get the packages back to confirm shipping. _________________________________________________________________ Posted 28 March 2014 - 01:07 PM Heavyopp, on 28 Mar 2014 - 1:11 PM, said: She has the packages, I have a meeting later today to discuss "my actions and use of the mail room and it's resources" . Meeting is scheduled for 3:30. Although I feel a reprimand coming, I should be able to get everything rectified today. ____________________________________________________ Posted 28 March 2014 - 04:10 PM 3 "meetings" later (office manager, accounting manager and supervisor) and I have the packages and much "clearer" understanding of the office policy on using the mail room and the offices policies on shipping personal items from the office. I am meeting with clients this evening in PA so I'll be getting everything out in the am. I will report back later. ______________________________________________________ Posted 29 March 2014 - 01:15 PM Update: dropped off all packages at the post office. New tracking info to follow for everyone as soon as I get back from running errands. __________________________________________________________ that looks like a lot of updates to me. in one of them he said he pm'd you all. the new tracking numbers would probably be due to the fact that he took them to the post office himself, rather than having his mailroom people do it. the dude's been nothing but honest every time i've dealt with him, and i highly doubt he's trying to screw any of you guys over. it would seem that he got screwed, and is doing his best to try to handle it.

i'm in camden county. i think it's soso for the most part down here in this area. now, for the shameless plug. if you're gonna be in reasonable distance to the cherry hill area, i know of an EXTREMELY gun friendly repair shop you can take your cars to. or even recommend your boss to send company vehicles to.

dam dude! hopefully you or anyone with you didn't get hurt!!

dude.....i couldn't stop smiling every time he fired that gun, lolololol

ryan....get with kharis. one of the guys....i he wasn't a forum member......he was a young kid(sht...i feel old now, saying that, lolol). had thermold mags for his ar. they were giving him fits till i lent him a couple of the ones i got from you. i told him about these forums, and to look you up. his gun ran perfectly on them. i think he overpaid for that little mag too, as i thought he'd said it was around 30 bucks. i can't remember the guys name though, but i'm sure kharis will know who you're talking about if you tell him it was the kid that borrowed my mags......

i gotta hit the hay.......but before i do....... i was just googling chest rig setups. then it hit me, that we really have no way to know if those that we see are good, bad, or just plain stupid. now i gotta go re-read this entire thread, paying even more attention to he, and cheko, and a couple others, as there is soooo much information in this single thread that it actually requires more than one single read. thanks for any/all info/suggestions/help guys!

i just did tactical carbine1 today...the one in the training/techniques thread. it was a great class. one or 2 guys had mag carriers for their ar mags...the rest of us just used the thigh pockets in our pants. i think i'm gonna try to have a chest rig set up for #2

aiming for the groin area is a very valid target. the toughest guy that might just keep comin' with a couple rounds in his chest, ain't gonna do much if he's been shot in that area.

i'm still going through this thread. last night, i got impatient, and jumped from page 1 or 2, right to the last page. in going through these pages, i'm looking at different pics of some of your guys setups. most of ya seem to have some sort of camo, so now the really really stupid question. is that just a personal preference?

i was at their website last night. dam those things are expensive!!

looks like he screwed it off of the gun in the video. if it's threaded, i think it'll be illegal?

i've met and dealt with ryan a few times. i would just give him a little time. he's a good dude

agreed! this class was VERY good. shooters has a great range too!

for something to start with, i might be interested....and since i'm a skinny sob.......small or medium, might work, lolol. i wear 32" waist....... and thanks!

question on belts..........i've seen the Ares Gear Ranger Belt 1.5" mentioned a few times. i've been told that the 511 belts are good too........what's the general opinion on the 511's?

one thing they NEED to do for this year.....they NEED to bring some examples of the best, most versatile ww2 pursuit aircraft. you know? the one that produced more allied aces than any other? one that the bases namesake flew?

i worked 2 of the airshows at mcguire. i was lgt for cap there. my work allowed me just enough breaks to watch some of it. both the angels, and the birds are AMAZING. honestly though, i enjoyed the solo f16 and solo f15 demos more. those guys just got up there, and let loose. of everything though, i prefer the ww2 iron. nothing like the music of a rolls royce merlin, or an allison, or 4 wright radials singing together.

i've always found bobs little sports shop to have great prices.

actually, not a single one of these nuisance animals was here before us. if they were, they'd be pretty dam old.

not to be nitpicky, or argumentative...but i had met a b17 bombadier that kept a piece of flack, that he thought was meant for him. they'd been flying "F"'s, and on this particular mission, they flew a "G". the chin turret jammed. when they'd landed, and the ground guys were doing their thing, they pulled this out of that turret. had the turret not been there, this hero would've died. he still has it. and that dam thing is actually pretty dam heavy for how little it was.
