People delete, move or rename pics in their PB account and it breaks any links used in forum posts.

Rockyhigh360-- i need a job wherever you work so i can afford all those parts (especially the mega viper) man i'm jealous.
and if you're wanting to resize pictures (if you don't want to use an image hosting site) then the best way is with mspaint. open the picture with paint, click the image tab, then click stretch/skew. once its open it has horizontal and vertical boxes (the top 2 boxes) put something like 70 or 80 in both boxes and save the picture. that'll bring a 1.5mb picture down to about 400kb. and there isn't much of an image size reduction for the drastic file size reduction. and if it still isn't small enough just do it again. just keep in mind that both boxes have to have the same figure in them or it'll distort the picture.

Ram15002ndGen--taking the air box off does make it much easier but what i've found to make it even easier is to make the truck do a nose dive. back it up a little hill and put that front bumper closer to the ground. then you don't have to be on your tip toes, or just get something to stand on like some cinder blocks. another thing that helps is long arms. that is a terrible spot for a distributer.

MS Paint sucks weenie. There's a free program called Faststone Viewer that allows you to make simple edits, color corrections, resize and has a neat little viewer. Do a for it.

Rocky - Snag it is also a really easy program and really versatile. Also be sure to convert your pictures to .jpg. If you are using Gif or BMP they are much larger files.

Sheriff - I agree that is one tough distributor to get to. Thanks for the suggestion, I will definitely try to lift up or stand on something. It's so far back it's also easy to slip and put a big scratch on the side fender (with your belt buckle) if your not careful.

The Faststone program is free. You have to sign up for a hosting account like Photobucket, but that's free, as well. Photobucket has some basic editing tools to allow you to resize and correct your photos after you upload them.
