http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817332008 works perfect for me. Just buy a few hard drives and slide them in.

lol I would if I could but unfortunately I'd probably spend more money doing that and lose the money that I've already put into this jeep. I bought this jeep for only $3500 so as long as I don't have to sink more then $2,000 into it I'll be happy. I called up the local car shop and they said they can do an electrical diagnostic for about $35 but if the problem ends up being something big thats over their head, they said I'd have to go to the dealer to get it repaired. Hopefully it's just a bad ground that they can find right off the bat and fix. I think it's the light switch thats causing all the problems. When turning on the lights, all the inner lights go to a dim. If I press the switch in and hold it in the lights light back up again. As soon as I let go though, the lights dim. It's almost like a loose wire or something. I'll have them check that first since its the most likely case. I might as well get it fixed after by my mechanic friend later on. Hopefully they will find the real problem and I can get this jeep to work for good. I'm sick of all these problems.

well good news, the new battery lasted over night. Bad news is anytime I lock the doors, 5 mins later the car alarm goes off. So I'm guessing theres a wiring problem that may be the cause of the battery draining. Never the less the old battery was probably old and needed to be changed anyway. Now I can actually drive places. Lets see how long that lasts haha. I guess my next step is probably to take it somewhere and have them do some electrical diagnostic tests to figure out what the hells going on. I wonder how much that costs. Eppy said probably between $10-$30, is that about right?

Well it's not the radio. I charged the battery last night and took out the fuse and the jeep still died overnight. I just charged it again and did a test that was mentioned on a site. Start the car and take the ground off. If the car shuts down then its an alternator problem. If it keeps running its a battery problem. So the car was still running after my dad took the ground off. I guess I'm off to buy a new battery and hope thats the only problem.

cool, thanks for the advice. I actually have my radio that I put in on my old jeep with me with the plug adapter already made. the only problem is I cant seem to find the proper wiring booklet or info anywhere on the web or how to take the front panel off. I tried taking the panel off with my dad but it turned into a big deal since theres like 7 panels that all overlap and I'm assuming you have to take all 7 off in order to get to the radio lol. I'll try looking at the site you posted and also on a few of the jeep forums I found last night. I'm sure someone knows where I can get the info. I should probably read the jeep manual too . See the one thing that I may need help with, is the stearing wheel radio controls. I hope the wiring is all straight forward. I have controls under my stearing wheel that can control the radio. It would be nice if I could get them to work with my newer radio.

Sounds about right. The battery still has some power left in it. Just not enough to start the car or even turn the engine over. Doesnt even make a clicking sound when I turn the key haha. When I open the door the lights are very dim lol. So I'll charge it again and take the radio fuse out and see what happens. If the battery dies again then I'll go out and buy a new one. If it ends up getting sucked dry I guess the next step would be just replace the alternator since it's the original Alternator and should be replaced soon anyway. If it turns out to be none of the above, then I'll just bring it into a shop and have them try and find the problem then have my mechanic do the labor for cheap. sound right?

Shes a "princess". It would be funny if she turned out to be a king of soul society's kid.

That makes sense, my jeep has 108,900k miles on it and I doubt the belt has been changed at all. I'll probably have it replaced and aligned when I get my oil changed soon. Well, today I woke up and tried to start the car but nothing happened. The battery was completely drained again. I don't see how that can happen since I only started the car, backed it up a bit and shut it off for the night. If the battery was going bad wouldn't it still have the charge from before? Its not like I drove anywhere and used the power up. My dad said maybe we should take the radio fuse out and see if that makes a difference. That way we know 100% if its the radio or not. The radio is the one that comes with 1998 jeeps. It has problems though, the panel that displays the channel your on or time doesn't light up. If I hit a bump sometimes it comes back but then goes away shortly. I have plans to replace it at some point in the future when I get more money though. However if it turns out to be the cause of the problem then I'll get it taken out now and have my dad try and install the new radio I have. So do you still think it's the battery? Do you think I should go and buy a new one? If it's not the battery then the new ones gonna get drained lol >.<. I mean, if it was the alternator my battery would only be dieing if I drove the jeep around town right? Not like last night where I just placed a fully charged battery in and backed the jeep up 3 feet and shut it off lol.

You didnt get the memo? It's no longer called Naruto anymore. It's Sasuke, the curse of the Uchiha . j/k

Wow thanks for the info Sledg. The sound is a long high pitched squeal only when I turn on the air conditioner and step on the gas. The AC could be on low or high and it would still make the sound as soon as I step on the gass. The belt is really tight so it's definitely not slack. Maybe its too tight or something. I tried feeling the belt when the jeep was off for any cuts or brakes in it but couldn't manage to move the belt around. It was to tight and the wheels that hold the belt wouldn't allow me to turn them wile the jeep was off I havent noticed any problems with power stearing when AC is on but maybe because I haven't been paying attention. I guess I'll try it out tomorrow and see. In reality though, the belt cant be the sole problem for why my battery dies, at least I don't think so. I don't use the AC so the belt is never running or making that squeal noise. I also never notice any clicking noise when the jeep is on. In fact my jeep is really really quiet when on. I've checked volts and Amps both on the battery and Alternator connector by hand at home and it's been within the reasonable area. The Alternators supposed to give off an equivalent of 14 volts when on but in my jeep its just under 14 (13.9). I checked my dads new ford for a comparison and his was around the same too. So I'm about stumped as to what the problem is. I'll try looking more into the belt like you said Sledg. My next step tomorrow, if the jeep starts, is to determine if it's the radio draining the battery or not. The radio's been shut off so if it starts tomorrow without fail then I guess I can take the panels off and replace the radio with my newer one from my old jeep and see if that fixes the problem. If not then I'm stuck again >.<.

I have a feeling the story is not entirely true for the most part. The current person calming to be Mandara may actually be the real Mandara's brother trying to take revenge. This would explain why Itachi rigged Sasukes eyes to blow his ass away every time he showed his eye. We can also apply the "using obito's dead body to hold a someones soul" theory as well. It's all up in the air now though. The way the stories going theres no telling who or what will happen next. For all we know Danzo and the two elder advisor's could have been the ones that set up the coup d'etat to ensure the village would never be run by an Uchiha in the future. The three still hold a lot of power over the village as well. @Sledgstone - I'm still hoping that Jiyra didn't actually die. From the way he was "killed" it just didn't seem like he actually died. I wouldn't be surprised if he showed up in one of the future chapters towards the end of the series. But ya, I hate how they just left that part of the story and jumped into all this other shit. I would have liked to see what the 5th did when she got the note and where the pains went...etc

I thought it was Mayuri Kurotsuchi at first but then I got thinking why would he still have his job in the future if he took part in killing a large number of allies. I'm guessing the person behind it is someone we know really well in present day Bleach that hasn't been shown yet in the past chapter ark.

stupid battery and VIP stores! This post is gonna be long becuse im pissed! As most of you know I just bought a used 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo which has problems that I need to get fixed and I knew about before hand. One of them being that it dies after so many hours of being off. So I've been on and off the phone with my family mechanic. I fill him in on what's happening. I jump start the jeep and drive it around for a few mins and then turn it off. The jeep lasts for about 9 hours being off and then refuses to restart after the 9 hours. I put a multi meter to the battery terminals to see how many volts it was getting. It reads 13.9 volts (which is good) with all lights on, air con, radio...etc. When air conditioner is on the belt connected to the air con and the alternator makes a squealing noise. I shut the car off and keep the multi meter on it and the volts drop to 11ish volts (which is still resalable). Then after 3 hours I go back out the take another reading on the batter and it drops again to 10 volts. So after mentioning all this to my family mechanic he seems to think its the alternator. He says the squealing of the belt is an indicator that the alternator might be going. He also said that the alternator is probably generating just enough energy to power the jeep but not enough to recharge the battery. So he says a good way to make sure is to take your battery to a local shop and have them do a free battery test to make sure the battery isn't the problem. So I take it to the local VIP since their the closest. They hook it to the tester and it reads "11 volts, please recharge". The battery was almost dead so they said they would charge it for free and run the test again in 2 hours. So me and my dad leave VIP and head home. Three hours later, I get no call so I figured I should call them. I call and ask if my battery is done. The guy says ya it passed you can come pick it up. So my dad and I head off to VIP again to pick it up. I show up and the kid at the front desk that took my battery in looks at me with a depressed face and says "Your battery hasn't been done yet, It couldn't be tested". My expression goes from happy to mad. So I say "I just called 10 mins ago and someone said they tested it and it passed." So the kid asks the other employees and one of them says oh I thought this was his battery, and points to a different one. So I'm basically pissed at this point since I drove to and from there and wasted my time and my dads not to mention his gas. So I ask why they didn't test the battery. The kid tells me his manager says no because it looks like it was leaking battery acid. I look at it and he points it out to me. There was a few light lines going down the front of the battery. I mentioned I had filled the battery at home before coming and it was just water. He still told me he couldn't charge it since it was a fire hazard. So I'm like what should I do then? How can I get you guys to charge this for me? He's like "Take it home, wipe it off with a rag and bring it back tomorrow". lol ya, you can guess what my next questions was. "Can I just go outside and wipe it off and bring it back in"? His answer was still no. You have to come back tomorrow. So I'm like fuck this just give me my battery back. So I have the kid take it to my dads truck and my dad flips because of all the time we wasted. He starts swearing out the window at the staff telling them they should have fucken called if the battery couldn't be charged..etc it was funny but at the same time I was pissed and I knew he was gonna be all ape shitty the rest of the day because of all the gas we wasted. So in the end I called my mom and step dad, asked if they had a charger. It turns out they did so I ended up charging the peace of shit battery at my own house. It's to late now to bring it in to get tested and quite frankly I don't plan to bring it back to them. So I place the battery in the jeep and it starts right up. My dad has a theory that it may not be the alternator or the battery. It could be something still running that's draining the battery. So I put the battery back in the jeep, cleaned the terminals with a wire brush and started it up. I shut everything off in the jeep (radio, lights, MPG data screen, inner lights...etc. Now tomorrow if the jeep starts then I'm pretty sure the problem is my radio since the radio panel is all fucked up. Every time anyone gets out of my jeep they get a bad static shock which is an indication that theres bad grounding somewhere. I wouldn't be surprised if it was my radio. So ya, the rest of my night I've been contemplating on what I should do if it isn't the radio. If I should just give in and bring the jeep to a shop and have them find the real problem and blow $300 or $400 on it or if I should go with the alternator theory and have my family mechanic install a new one. Any ideas? What would you guys do if you where in my position? I'm tight on cash so I'm trying to go the cheapest way out of this.

No ones saying it will stop selling if it was still in the stores for 10 years. Where just saying it wont make as much profit and it's a stupid move on Sony's part. They could potently be going up against some real power houses in 5 years time but what will they do? Nothing because they plan to wait 10 years (if thats even true). So ya, it will still sell just like the Dreamcast, Game cube, PS2, N64, game boy...etc. It just wont rake in as much money as Sony would have liked. Pushing that aside, I'm a bit confused with how you guys changed the definition of console war. With my understanding the "console war" is about an all around game system that can satisfy the most people (not just fan boys). Now, for some reason, you guys are considering it a "hardware war"...which I think is a totally different thing. If we where determining who would win based off Hardware then it would be PS3 hands down. But where not, at least not the news sites, gaming sites, or me. The PS3 is still lacking in games. Sure it has 2 or 3 titles that are console only however that wont change the way people choose a console. Especially since popular games like GTA just came out for Xbox 360 too. It's to bad Sony's managment and marketing staff are so full of themselves. They could have had another undisputed success. O well, will see how things pan out in 10 years lol.

Like I said at the bottom, PS3 clearly is not my top choice when it comes to a variety of games. Personally I find my self playing more games using the PC then anything else because of variety, stability, price, and customization but Xbox would probably be my second pick and then Wii...etc. PS3 just doesn't have enough out for it and the stuff that it does have out is also out for Xbox. So it's kind of pointless to buy a PS3 now or in the future. I think if PS3 didn't go with the whole "PS3 is not a game system it's a blue-ray entertainment system" bit and focused more on making and releasing games, they would have done better at the get go (well lower price too). But no, they focused more on the Blu-Ray aspect of the system and ignored what the people where really after. Now that they realized their mistake, their trying to make up for it by reshaping their image and pushing game developers to release more. But still, 10 years wont help them make more money. If anything they will lose money because of price cuts and double price cuts to fight off competition from newer Xbox and Nintendo consoles that will come out in the future. It's a big gamble for Sony to say that PS3 will be it's primary system for 10 years.

10 years is a long. Before then a new Xbox and Nintendo Console would be out with better graphics and more features. Around that time You would see Sony lower their prices since they want to keep PS3 more popular but by lowering their price they wont be making as big a profit as they would if they kept the price high. Then when the 10 year time comes for Sony to make a new Console, another new Xbox and Nintendo console would be coming out probably all three having around the same graphics ability and processor power by then but the major difference is Microsoft and Nintendo would have made 2x more money since they had already put out a console 5 years prior with more fan boyish console exclusive games. So I honestly don't see how Sony thinks this will make them much profit. Sure, PS3 will become more popular but it wont necessarily make them more money. Especially not if a newer better Xbox or Nintendo console comes out before then and then when a PS4 comes out. But I'm not here to pick winners since each company is making a lot of money anyway. I play whatever has more games that are fun for me. And so far that's been everything except for PS3. Until PS3 starts putting out more games, I don't plant to touch the system.

She the man voice over http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abtKFaL5kVY So funny if you've seen the movie Narnia 2 Prince Caspian- Naruto

To be fair, there was some stuff left out of the news on that site. Source & video: http://www.tampabays10.com/news/local/article.aspx?storyid=79533 But I agree with you guys and this man. They probably made all that other stuff up just to cover the real reason they fired him (for being a wizard). Sara: omg where did billy go? Teacher: I made him disappear. See what happens when you don't do your homework muhahahAHHAHA

I agree, You should be with your daughter on mothers day. At least you will get to see her the day before though. Shit, that reminds me I have to get my mom a gift >.<

ya, I'm not big on actors either, their over rated and over paid. In fact the only movies where I actually care who's acting is movies with Daniel Day Lewis in them. If they where to put someone else in as Batman or Iron Man, chances are I wouldn't care as long as the story was consistent and whoever it was acting played the role right for the most part. Superman's downfall was the story. For me, the story is everything. If they can't make it interesting or at least follow the basic rules of whatever book/past movie their remaking, then I can't get into the movie and thus I end up hating it. But I haven't once walked out of a movie even if it sucks. I figure why waste the $8 if your not gonna see the thing all the way through.

slippers hated all the good movies and liked Superman? >.< I guess everyone has their own tastes.

The other one takes place a bit at the end of Shippu this one the thread is about takes place basically at the start of it.

lol when I saw the title I was thinking, this has to be another one of DX's PS3 fanboy threads trying to bash every other console/ computer system.
