Your friends sister must turn off the "private" feature. Tell her to log in, then go to utilities ----> Preferences ---> password.

It is also under "file/folder management"

Don't ask how I know that :p

Arghhh!! It's my site. I don't know why it doesn't work. The sharing restrictions are set properly. Anyway, he apparently threw his Ram 1500 (one of the new gen) into reverse at high speed in order to powerbrake.

Click on the "e-mail URL" that should give you a "clickable" link.

I'd tell him to call in a tow truck, haul down to dealer, and tell them that he's too stupid to own it.

Fixed link

Damn, even I have not sheared my driveshaft. But I never threw my truck in reverse at high speed.

Owie. Lucky that driveshft did not catch a crack. then you would be picking up the dana 60 with sweeper magnets :p

$400 part. Maybe. Be glad it is not a 4 door or long bed, as then you would have a 2 piece driveshaft. now that = $.

I would've thought the transmission would be locked out from going into reverse at speed...are you saying that this person did it on purpose or accidentally?
