Now we just need to find a spot where it is easily accesible for the members ...


Mac Edited by: Mackin

Thanks! Now that I have them in my mind with everything else, I am more screwed up then ever!http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Big Smile.gif


And to think that until now, when ever I seen AM/FM I thought it was a radiohttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Clap.gif

Wow! That's a bunch. I just put it into a Word file, it's 15 pages.


Thanks

What about IIRC? hehehttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Big Smile.gif

If I Recall Correctly I googled it

"NSBU." Not sure what it is but it has been mentioned on some posts. Anyone?

Neutral Safety/Start Backup Switch
Also,
PRNDL Park,Reverse,Neutral,Drive,Low.
TCCM Transfer case control module.
There are a bunch missing from the list, we can add meanings as they come up.Edited by: GMCSID

I keep reading "on #2 only"...what does that mean?

Can I get that printed on a quick reference index card please?

what is IMO or IMHO?

In My Opinion,
In My Humble Opinion.

How about:


LMAO


Laughing my _$$ off

I keep reading "on #2 only"...what does that mean?

That means on #2 deisel fuel only - no N2O or propane or anything.

What about:

FUBAR - Messed up beyond all recognition

RTFM - Read the Manual

BRB - Be Right Back (more of a chat room thing)

BFH - A very big hammer

and of course you can't forget the two most important ones, and it depends on whether you are the owner or the service department (dept :-) ) on whether you use these:


DABW - pronounced Dab dubaya - dumb a$$ behind wheel


DABC - pronounced Dab cee - dumb a$$ behind counter
