    Fiber Optic Connector Width for Drill Size

    Finally remembered to get back with info on this. Install went well. Took about 1.5 hours. Guy ran a fibre cable from the pole in my lane to the house and terminated it in a wall mount box. The SC/APC connector ends for the fibre extension cable that runs from the termination box to the modem...

    Fiber Optic Connector Width for Drill Size

    That's a good idea and I already tried that. The "contractor" is Bell. Try finding the right person there. I called tech support and the guy did what I did. Started googling. Anyway, I did talk to a tech in my lane. We'll see what happens.

    Fiber Optic Connector Width for Drill Size

    Saw an installer working up a pole down the lane from me so asked him. He said about the same size as an RJ45 connector. I know a 9/16" hole works for the snag free RJ45's so I'll try it. I guess I'll know for sure on Friday!

    Fiber Optic Connector Width for Drill Size

    The modem I'm getting has a fiber input and 4 gigabit ethernet ports as well as wifi 6. If I mount it in the basement I'll need an access point to get wifi to the 2nd floor. If they run the fiber to the main floor I don't think I'll need an access point.

    Fiber Optic Connector Width for Drill Size

    Later this week I'm getting fiber installed to my house for internet. To save time for the installer and myself I want to pre drill the holes in my floors where I think I may want the cable at some point. I know it uses an SC connector and I believe it's green if that means anything. Does anyone...

    Tire and Loading Info

    So, if I have 5 - 200 lb guys in the truck I can only carry 961 lbs of gear? And that probably doesn't include 26 gallons of fuel at 158lbs. I'm still having trouble with those numbers

    Check those wheel bearings . . .

    I bought an axle a few years ago and it it had Rockwell Posi-Lube hubs. These have an offset zerk and they have channels for the grease to flow through so there is not a cavity that needs to be filled. I like them better than other types I've had.

    Need Advice on Towing Performance

    What prop do you have on now? What's your rpm at WOT with that prop?

    How the heck

    Maybe use a glob of vaseline? Do it on a hill? Also, use the proper screwdriver.

    2004 Jeep GC tire size question

    Shouldn't be a problem as long as all 4 wheels have the same tires. Your actual speed will be slightly less than your indicated speedometer speed.

    Charging Voltage, '97 Suburban

    Doesn't sound too bad. What are the numbers at 1200-1500 rpm? What does dragging mean? Have you had the battery tested?

    Clutch Fan to Electric Conversion, 1997 Suburban

    Fan should be very hard to turn when hot. Compressor probably won't cycle when it's hot out especially at idle. Like others I'd try the fan clutch. Cheap and easy.
