    Mechanical Issues,

    The brakes are a slow leak. No worries there, I'll fix them as soon as I can The transmission is a pretty bad leak and a major concern as I'll be living in The RV full time, and have to move daily as I'm in an urban environment and the city freaks out about those kind of leaks... also...

    So I Bought This $10 Cell Phone Cable...

    Ok, From what i can find right now it should work, However on the LG site the driver is not for your "Specific" phone. the Model number is similar but not identical, &nbsp;It would seem the easiest way to do the transfer is to use and SD Card and&nbsp;transfer&nbsp;them that way. &nbsp;a 4 Gig...

    So I Bought This $10 Cell Phone Cable...

    <p>it could be that the USB cord does not have the correct connector in it for Data Transfer, It may only have the pins for transfering power, I Went to the LG Website and im not even finding the driver myself... which is odd seeing as you found it. but that model isnt listed under Tracfone or...
