  1. Which episode was it that Bo was largely not in? At the end he called home and talked to the Dukes. I think he was doing something with Nascar.
  2. Thanks Hoss, Hobie and Roger!!!! Ok I got the fuel pressure regulator, my fire Chief is gonna borrow a trailer from the Asst. Chief (it won't fit on his) and go get it Thursday. Once here, my son who declares himself a YouTube Mechanic thinks he can do it. If not, the Chief and his Girlfriends dad (who looked at it before we figured it was flooding) are close by. As for being over ya'lls heads, NO! It wasn't an easy fix -- EX. Not just a water pump, a plug wire etc..... it is a problem they had to figure out so "to save me money,.... the guy doesn't want to 'guess'!" I'm like give me a GOOD Guess I'll bring you the part off my 92! But since the regulator has a diaphragm I figure of plastic or rubber I figure in the 92 that hasn't been on the road in a couple year (which MAY have the same issue) I'd buy a new one - got it at O'Reilly's for 19.99! I will be SO happy and yet to a degree very pissed if this is what has caused it not to run since JUNE 5th! Yes, I miss you all TOOO!!! Brandy Lou and I have been tossing around a story so may post it once it is done. Thanks Ya'll!!! I'll let ya know when I know more!
  3. First, I have the WORST vehicle luck and have since I was 15 years old. I have a 1991 F-150 pickup that SHOULD be easier to work on. It has ran great for a year. I had surgery in Feb 18 and was off work until June 4th. June 5th the good ole pickup decided that I should not go to work!! Well, I took sons car and every since my sons car has been my way to get to work. The truck WAS starting faithfully every evening / afternoon. We had done process of elimination and found it is NOT a firing, moisture or lack of gas issue by changing the electrical box under the dash just below the steering wheel. Then the Distributor cap, rotary button and fuel relay. We now know it is flooding itself. The front fuel pump has not worked since we have had the vehicle about a year now, but on the rear pump, when you turn the key (as if to roll up a window or listen to music) the fuel pump cuts on and does NOT cut off. IF it starts it is running rich loading up bucking as if trying to flood out you can smell the gas at the exhaust. The shop has had it 2 wks and it has started twice and they "don't have a clue". I have purchased a fuel pressure regulator but don't have it on yet since truck is still at the shop. Can anyone tell me if I'm on the right track? Give me suggestions of things to try -- I have a 1992 in the yard I can try parts from but really need to figure out a way to get it started or wait until at least Monday to get it towed home. I've ran through this with all the guys at the fire department and the fuel pressure regulator makes about as much sense as anything. I don't want to take to a Ford place and pay 800 for a 20 part. All suggestions and ideas welcome!!! I really need my ride running ASAP. Thanks to all my Hazzard cousins -- DixieDavenport
  4. You are so right! My middle son went to a Duke Fest in Bristol, VA with me and he was impressed by how Ben just walked out into the crowd, unlike the others. I told him that the others don't do that to avoid the chaos that would follow. But if they did it on a regular basis back then, by now there may not be chaos when it happened.
  5. It was great!!! Glad I was able to make it, though I didn't get to do as much as I usually do (due to a hip that wasn't in the game!) DixieDavenport
  6. Yes Roger, that's exactly what I meant in the Fanfiction section I was looking at, there was nothing new this year. Sorry for the misunderstanding. DixieDavenport
  7. Ok Fan Fic Trivia!!! Some of you may remember how the little tiny brain of mine works! Has anyone read or written the story that started with Bo and Luke in Hazzard jail. The female reporter from Hazzard paper is told to get a story. I think they robbed the bank AGAIN! LOL Anyway, the female turns out to be the daughter of MASH's Charles Emerson Winchester THE 3rd no less and her and Luke fall for each other. I read it awhile back and watched a show of MASH and now I can't find the story and would like to re-read. I can't remember who wrote it or which site it was on and it ha been awhile since I read it. Any help or possibilities is appreciated.
  8. Anyone interested in helping me wonder our way through Hazzard to the State Capitol and find out how our favorite mechanic and my big brother, went from the greasy, hairy mechanic to a cleaned up, shaved Congressman?? What made him even interested in running and since he's there, how has Hazzard benefited???
  9. I have been looking around the net for something good to read with a Dukes of Hazzard theme to it, so I naturally stopped in here and see no one has posted this year. What's up?? Where is everyone? If any one is interested in a collaborated story effort or has any ideas, yell! Sometimes "life" gets in all our ways but I'll pitch in where I can. DixieDavenport
  10. Congrats Mark!!! Welcome back and I hope to see pictures of the model of Cooter's Garage! DixieDavenport PS. Yeah by the name, you can see why I'm interested in the garage! I'm Cooter's little sister, Dixie (TROUBLE) Davenport!
  11. It's great to still see this series voted as a favorite!!! Still have hopes of finishing it, (Hopefully with Bethie88) or alone at some point. Just got a new computer so hopefully I'll get it lined out and familiar with it soon to be able to write soon. Dixie Davenport
  12. Happy Birthday to my favorite Duke, Luke (Tom)!!! Take the General Lee and swing by Hobie's for that shine then come by the Hazzard Garage and pick me up. I'll be waiting. DixieDavenport
  13. I've tried all avenues I know of to contact Bethie88 but have had no reply. If anyone out there on the Hazzardnet hears from her please let her know I'm trying to contact her. I've recently re-read the entire Going Home Series and would like to see it finished, with Bethie88 if possible, but I've been kicking the idea around about attempting to at least tie up the loose ends of this series and get it to an ending spot. My question to you out there on the Hazzardnet is: Would you like to see it continued to an end, and then possibly start another part alone or with another partner??? If interested in the above please comment or PM me. Thanks DixieDavenport
  14. Please check out this link and remember Conyers, GA and it's people. This area was in and near Dukes of Hazzard filming locations. We also lost 5 people (4 children) in Kentucky. http://www.upi.com/Top_News/US/2013/01/09/Four-children-killed-in-Georgia-house-fire/UPI-35241357735228/?spt=hs∨=tn Now, after you give your kids an extra tight hug, please check your batteries in your smoke detector and IF you didn't change them when you set your clock in the fall, change them now. Our local volunteer fire department is lucky not to have many structure fires, but when we get them in Nov, Dec and Jan they are hot ones and the old structures in our county are usually too far gone to make safe entry. IF you ever have a fire in your home no matter how small, get everyone (and if possible all pets) OUT and STAY OUT, before your local fire department gets there! Remember, everything else can be replaced, lives can not! DixieDavenport aka Joni Fowler, Gary Volunteer Fire Departmant
