T-Top Tech Article...

I wrote this several years back and submitted it to Dirk?? I think it was during the transition and it never got put up. I want to get it out there for others as its destined to get lost on my home PC in a hard drive crash. Not sure if there's better videos now on the web showing how to do it...but anywho...if it helps someone it was worth it.

lol...I just looked at this again. I wrote it in 03 and it was back when the GM kit wasn't discontinued and you didn't have to pay 500 bucks for a 150 dollar kit. Those were the days!

btw...being able to upload files to the message boards these days rocks!

It might just be my computer, but I cannot watch the video. Any chance you uploaded it to YouTube?

It's on a pdf file, not a video.

Re: T-Top Tech Article...

Thanks for writing up the article, GSF it helped take a lot of the guess-work out.

For those of you who don't have Adobe Acrobat it is, in fact, required to read a .pdf file. Your computer will continually attempt to open the file as a video and result in the idiocy above.

Why hasn't this been made a sticky??? It took forever to dig up this article again.
