    Another '03 Suburban Issue....Rear Doors Open

    Might as well get some help with this before I tackle the other fuse issue... These are the double doors on the back, not the lift style. I'm getting a Rear Doors Open warning, intermittent. Seems somewhat related to hitting bumps in the road. (Stop hitting the bumps...I know, used to work...

    '03 Suburban Fuse Help

    I bought an air pump and it must have blown a fuse somewhere I haven't found. There are 3 cigarette lighters (2 in the dash console & 1 in the cargo area) and none work now. I've checked the owner's manual and inspected the obvious fuses indicated. They are all ok. Is there another fuse...

    Wood Chipper...first timer

    Any pointers on renting/using a wood chipper/shredder. I've got a bunch of juniper trees to dispatch. Too much to burn and it's not good for anything else. What's the best way to prepare? I'm guessing I should cut down whatever I want to chip first so I'm not wasting rental time doing that...

    IRS question...failure to file/pay

    any tax pro's around? i filed an extension in April and accidentally underpaid my federal taxes. i started a business in 2010 and the tax side of things has been challenging. 2011 books weren't ready by 4/15 so i took a mostly educated guess at making a payment. came up almost $4k shy on what i...
