I got this email this morning and thought I would pass it on. Maybe someof you, who arent that busy or give 1/2 of a 1/2 of a 1/2 of a shit, you too will pass this on.

 

You know Knight Rider has tried time and time again to be duplicated, this is their best shot so far, IMHO.

 

So please, watch the finale tonight, if you can, and pass this on.

 

Hello, you are receiving this Email because of your membership on the

Knight Rider Online forum.

 

First, let us apologize for the bulk email It's the first time we've ever

done it in 14 years, so you can understand the importance. As a fan of

Knight Rider, we hope that you will agree.

 

Tonight in the US at 8PM EST/7PM CST, NBC will air the finale episode for

this season of Knight Rider. After 17 episodes, the show is starting to

find its groove creatively which will lead us into a strong second season.

But we're not there yet. Because of the economy and weaker viewership

across all episodic television, networks are making tough choices about

next season schedule. It is important that we as fans work together to make

our presence known. Only then will NBC be forced to see that we are an

international community strong in support for Knight Rider

 

If you were planning on tuning in tonight, thats great - but please tell a

friend, and then ask them to tell one as well (specially if they are a

Nielsen viewer!). If you tuned into the beginning and were turned off,

please try it one more time as the show 17 episodes ago is completely

different then tonight's. If you're a member of Facebook, Twitter, MySpace

or any other social network - let your friends know what you'll be

watching. If you're a member of a message board that has trounced on Knight

Rider or doesn't even know it's on - now is your time to speak up and be

heard.

 

It's been an uphill battle for Knight Rider. With little promotion from

NBC, no one has any idea that the show is still on the air - and skipping a

week last week does not help. We need to remind people of Knight Rider -

now.

 

Beyond tonight, you can visit our campaign page

(http://knightrideronline.com/knight_rider_2008/campaign) to find task

lists on other ways you can support Knight Rider's second season.

 

If we zoom out from Knight Rider on TV, we can see that an even larger way

to support the fandom of Knight Rider is to attend the Knight Rider

Festival (http://knightriderfestival.com) in Las Vegas on March 20-21st.

Featuring the largest gathering of KITT replicas ever, this event is

specifically for the fans and replica owners that have kept the series

alive and in our hearts for over 27 years.

 

This is a free event to raise money for the Children's Miracle Network

(http://childrensmiraclenetwork.com) - an amazing organization that helps

sick children afford the help they so desperately need. Coming together for

this noble cause will personify the belief that one man can make a

difference.

 

Lets show the world that we can!

 

Sincerely,

Knight Rider Online

I don't watch it (or much TV at all), but I did watch the movie prior to the series which wasn't too bad. But from seeing the previous attempts over the years to recreate the original this has been the best attempt.

I grew up watching knight rider as a small kid. Loved it then and like it again now. Funny story I had a KITT car pretty good sized well after the episode where kitt was destoryed in Chicago by the battering ram vehicle i decided to take my dads hammer (I was like 6 or 7??) and smash it up then I realized uh oh I couldnt rebuild it like they did (superpursuit mode haha). My mom bought me another one so I had a wrecked one and agood one. They say TV doesnt influence people. As a matter of fact I have a pic of the xmas when i got my kitt car (1984, I was 5).

 

I DVR it every week and usually watch it early Saturday morning or late Saturday night.

Knight Rider was one of my favorite shows as a kid. KITT was, and ALWAYS WILL BE, a Trans Am. I refuse to watch this Rustang-powered blasphemy.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By davester · Posted

      can you tell if the reader is actually trying to get codes, and the pcm is reporting none, or is your reader just silently failing because it's not communicating with the pcm?

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Any joy with this truck seems to be short-lived.   The CEL for P0172 ("bank 1" too rich) is now "intermittent".   I'm not sure where to check, or re-check, and my energy to keep chasing problems with junk is wearing thin. The P0172 seems to set as I'm coming to a stop, completely off the throttle, when fully warm. At least, that's what it's done the 3? times it's set.   Everything appears normal on the scanner EXCEPT long term fuel trim. There's only one bank on this vehicle because it's an OBD 1.5 with only one upstream O2 sensor. At idle, it's around -16.4% and will dip to -18% occasionally at idle or off-throttle. LTFT approaches 0 when throttle is held at 2500rpm. Short term appears normal, much closer to zero all the time. The LTFT tells me the engine is running rich at idle but compensating at higher load. But, why?   The EVAP purge valve doesn't appear to be leaking/sucking fuel vapor continuously. Is it sticking just as I come to a stop and the engine is choking on fuel vapor and sets the P0172? But that doesn't explain the persistently negative LTFT. Disconnecting the purge valve doesn't seem to make any difference.   I suppose that leaves another dang issue with the fuel injector. A leaking fuel pressure regulator, a new leak in the spider, or a leaking fuel injector/poppet valve I didn't see, or a small crack in one of the spider legs.   The vacuum line leading to the fuel pressure regulator doesn't have raw fuel in it. It doesn't even smell like fuel when it's pulled off, not until you suck air through it, then you can tell it leads to a fuel component. I'd consider that normal? Nothing is signaling this is a FPR issue from the outside, at least.   The oil smells like fuel but it's not building volume. I've noticed most oil in most engines smells like fuel to some degree so it's hard to say if the smell is an issue or not. Or if the engine just still smells like fuel because the crankcase was full of it a few hundred miles ago. But it's been changed twice since that original issue of the leaking fuel line dumping fuel into the intake.   Patience is running very thin. Every win seems to be accompanied by two steps backwards, or another issue that leads to removing at least the top half of the intake manifold. Enough! LOL

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      First off you mentioned "Toyo Says" and then gave the pressures 45/50, was this some person at the tire shop that pulled those numbers out of his head ?   Now of course I can't know your exact axle weights front and rear, however I have much the same pickup as yourself other than not knowing your starting weight as per the pounds the truck rolled out of the factory at due to the options yours did or didn't come with or what you have added beyond the extra tire weight. The correct way to know 100% where a person is at is by weighing each axle with the typical weight the vehicle is driven with and that means taking into account passengers and making sure you figure in a full tank of fuel and a little grace for whatever you may put in the bed "groceries" !    I am looking at and not that it really matters as all the tire companies use the same charts anyway, but I am looking at the comprehensive Toyo tire chart in the section that your tire falls under and I know it sounds confusing but your tire is not an LT metric tire like your factory tire but instead because its a standard inch measured tire its under a different category called an LT floatation series tire. That makes a difference as LT metric tires they don't want to see run below 35 psi at highway speed where as with the LT floatation series it can be run down to 25 psi on the highway as long as the weight on the said size of tire is agreeable with or less than that minimum 25 psi. It blows many people away that how is this physically possible, an empty truck for one thing and larger tires with the same size wheel diameter have a lot more air volume so they can carry the same weight as the smaller tire with less air pressure.    So my truck, I have the stock 275/65R20 wheels and tires and I have a bit of weight in the box with a bak flip cover and a rubber bed mat and some tools and spare gas. The front of my gas truck weighs a bit more than some trucks of the similar spec due to double batteries and alternators. However with full fuel and just me in the truck I am weighted such that I can run 40 front and 35 rear and so that is what I have done since day one.    If I base your truck at or slightly below the weight of my truck, in theory with your tires going by the tire chart you might be right around a minimum of 30 pounds front and 25 pounds rear. Of course that would hit pretty much minimum cold inflation pressure one could run with that tire size and a near empty truck. If you have access to an accurate weigh scale to do individual front and rear axle weights I would suggest you do that and make sure your topped up with fuel and whatever else in the truck before you weigh it and then you will have a great starting point to work off of and figure out what your bare minimum pressures are you can safely run. If you do much in the way of hot weather high speed driving, bumping up a bit for a safety margin is never a bad idea but just depends on what type of driving you do. I will include the Toyo chart and the floatation series sizes start on page 31. Without a doubt at these pressures I am speculating at minimum wise for your truck, it would most certainly ride very different then it did when you were using 55 lb front and rear.     https://www.toyotires.com/media/pxcjubjs/application_of_load_inflation_tables_20200723.pdf

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By rdonarski · Posted

      This landing is worse than most. Patchy blacktop with washouts, soft gravel/sand at bottom that washes out with every heavy rain. I tell everyone to put it in 4WD. A lot of them think they can pull out their trailer in 2WD. They end up digging a hole and then putting it in 4WD.  The lake is a pristine lake and has a lot of money on it. There are several wake boats and lot of large tritoons. The people with the money don't want it improved because they don't want more traffic.    Boat Landing 1.jfif Boat Landing 2.jfif Boat Landing 3.jfif
