Load tested my 5500 storm responder by Briggs n Stratton,I hooked up two hair dryers to the individual receptacles yesterday and ran for about two minutes when the overload tripped on it and it kept doing it.

Now these receptacles supposed to be 20 amps each and there are four of them on there,now doing the math 4x20 amps comes out to about 9600 watts that doesn't add up to 5500 watts and 8200 starting watts.

Did I overload the circuit with two blow dryers which draw about 1800 watts a piece?

Is Gulf shores Alabama real crowded during summer,never been to Destin but I heard it's madhouse during summer so I figure we may try Gulf Shores.

I've been on beta blocker atenolol about half of a little pill a day now for about 2 months because my bp was running about 140/85,I still exercise and some days like today my blood pressure will get down to about 105/65 along with sluggish and tired feeling.

I'm a 50 year old male does anyone else have similar problems with this medicine?

Do most trucking companies have their trucks programmed to shut down when they are idling and if so how do you stay cool during the summer while in your bunk?

Lost track of my passport about 20 years ago,can I get new one at post office or have to to passport agency.

Also do I have to leave or mail my naturalization certificate,I'm real nervous about leaving certificate anywhere it took me over a year and $400 to get a new one.

Anyone have any experience with this,dr. pretty much left it up to me if I wanted surgery or not meniscus is ok he said.

I'm not in pain but I do feel some instability in knee,was really wondering if a person could exercise his way back to health I am 49 and fairly active I jog for several miles with a knee brace just wondering if anyone went thru the same ordeal.

Thanx

Tried the 15 sec. holding power button down and even held it about 5 minutes also tried it with hold volume and power button down same time.

Had it on charge all night long now I'm running out of ideas,anyone have anymore?

I'm sure these twin turbos are a power house in the F150 ecoboost engine but I'm wondering about the lifespan of a turbo and the cost it would be to repair this.

Seems like turbos never last as long as the engine itself,anyone wondered about that too?

Dodge or Chevy truck?What's everybody's opinion?

Anyone have the 4.8L in a crew cab Chevy, does it perform ok or undersized?

I don't do a lot of hauling other than a four wheeler every now and than mainly a family vehicle and chores around house truck.

Thanx ahead.

Anyone bought a 2012 dodge ram quad cab with the hemi in it,been looking at them pretty hard just wanted to know if any known problems and pros and cons.

Thanx

Just had new Carrier inside unit put in,noticed that when desired temperature is reached when running the a/c my compressor kicks off but inside airhandler fan keeps running for about a minute or so,is this common?

It's a friend of mine truck,it starts real good every time than runs for about 5 seconds than dies the engine revs up real good while it runs and it cranks real fast he put a new battery in it last week,no check engine codes so my scanner couldnt help him any.

I sprayed starting fluid in it while running to see if it's a fuel problem but after 5 seconds it spit and sputtered while spraying and died again.

He does have this little blinking red light in the right hand bottem corner of instrument cluster that he hasnt noticed before could that be some sort of security problem?

BTW the Dodge is a 98 or 99 model somewhere around there.

Thanx ahead.

Was wondering if I could get an emergency protective order against my wife to keep her out of our home,she stays gone all night gambling and drugs,she's been arrested few times and now has a warrant again.

We have a 10 year old daughter and I pretty much raise her by myself,I am tired of living this way and don't want to put my daughter thru this any longer I've asked her to leave but she won't.

Before any comments about "kicking her or booting her out" I know enough now that legally I can't do that without having some sort of legal order behind me.I'm also in process of choosing an attorney.

Thanx ahead

Am 48 year old male and started exercising again back in March,it takes me about 8 minutes to run a mile is that average or slow for my age group?
