Q: nascar has banned all gauze type of filters k&n and others. all it took was one smart engine builder to realize that the gauze was great for hold performance enhancing chemicals that would boost the hp while the car qualified. the doctored filter lasted long enough for qualifying just a few laps. we use the outerwear because it lengthens the cleaning intervals of the filter. happy motoring! redneck tookover hell wrote i have no idea why they wont do a public dyno test i guess they feel they dont have to prove their product in such a way. you know those 800 hp winston cup now nextel cup engines those guys dont use k$n filters just good old fashioned paper ones its interesting that k$n is the only filter made for the injection system on dirt sprint cars but there is a company called outerwear that makes a filter that fits over the k$n setup. you also see the outerwear filters on dirt late models running k$n filters apparently using the k$n filter is causing so much extra suction another filter is required i also find it interesting that k$n sponsors a dragracing fuel funny car that uses no air filters at all. in fact i have never seen even a k$n oil filter on any fuel engine. they all use those worthless fram hp series filters. you will also find those worthless fram hp oil filters on most every world of outlaws sprint car engine ill start watching reality tv shows when i can vote people off the planet. .

paul jensen wrote ....that usually corrects the problem. you dont really believe that do you i mean you cant be that dense are you other drivers are politely telling you that your fog lights are on and they are creating glare. the fog lights are directed downward. thats why they are fog lights. the only ones experiencing glare are ants. i aproach hundreds of vehicles every day with their fog lights on in daytime dusk and night and there is no glare. well that would assume that they are designed correctly installed correctly and aimed correctly. if people flash their lights at you you might begin to think otherwise. and assuming all those things are done correctly and the lights are aimed at the ground then wouldnt they be pretty much useless unless there is fog/snow/rain personally i think the factory fogs are pretty useless even then. when i drive my truck other vehicles fog lights dont create enough glare to be bothersome to me because im sitting up high enough. but when im in a smaller vehicle and theres a truck approaching me with their fog lights on then it does. now im blinded to the oncoming road/traffic. its the relationship between the height of the lights and the height of the other driver. sometimes i will flash my lights at them. usually i dont bother because i know that most of the time the incompetent boob will just turn the brights on and make things worse. and lets talk about the safety thing. who says running the fog lights all the time makes you safer if the other idiot cant see that giant ram truck with two big bright lights on the front what makes you think that two additional little lights near the pavement is going to make it better face it people dont see you. and its not because you are hard to see. its because they dont look! -- ..bob 97 h-d fxdwg - turbocharged!! 01 dakota quad sport 5.9/auto/4x4 83 gmc jimmy beater 66 427sc cobra replica - project 66 mustang coupe - daily driver -----= posted via feeds.com uncensored usenet =----- http//www.feeds.com - the #1 group service in the world! -----== over 100000 groups - 19 different servers! =----- .

you must have been driving in irvine then. i see people all the time with auxiliary lights and even their brights on in traffic. i have been tempted to mount a 500w kc light on the rear bumper so i can inform the person behind me that their brights are on. i also love it when children lift the front of their truck and dont adjust their lights so they are aimed right at your rear view mirror. on tue 10 feb 2004 034925 gmt michael greenwood mgreenwood@pacbell.net wrote actually i think theyre driving or road lights... fog lights are usually amber or yellow.. i use mine on dark roads away from traffic... in calif. youre not supposed to use them if there is oncoming traffic or someone within xx feet in front of you.. i found out the hard way.. im just curious as to why pulling on the switch is such a hassle it seems that re-wiring the switch would be 100 times the hassle. personally i only turn them on when its foggy...thats why i thought they were called fog lights and not running lights. --mike rchkthfm@bellsouth.net wrote i have a 99 quad-cab. when i turn on my lights i always pull out the light switch to turn on the fog driving lights. is there a way to rewire the fog lights to come on when i turn on my headlights. thanks wow where do you live that has that much fog -- .bob 97 h-d fxdwg - turbocharged!! 01 dakota quad sport 5.9/auto/4x4 83 gmc jimmy beater 66 427sc cobra replica - project 66 mustang coupe - daily driver -----= posted via feeds.com uncensored usenet =----- http//www.feeds.com - the #1 group service in the world! -----== over 100000 groups - 19 different servers! =----- mac .

lol i did just that with my challenger. two 100 watt driving lights mounted on the rear bumper. when some asshole would come up on me with his high beams or driving lights on a quick flick of the switch would remind him to turn them off. worked well for peope folowing to close as well. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving you must have been driving in irvine then. i see people all the time with auxiliary lights and even their brights on in traffic. i have been tempted to mount a 500w kc light on the rear bumper so i can inform the person behind me that their brights are on. i also love it when children lift the front of their truck and dont adjust their lights so they are aimed right at your rear view mirror. on tue 10 feb 2004 034925 gmt michael greenwood mgreenwood@pacbell.net wrote actually i think theyre driving or road lights... fog lights are usually amber or yellow.. i use mine on dark roads away from traffic... in calif. youre not supposed to use them if there is oncoming traffic or someone within xx feet in front of you.. i found out the hard way.. im just curious as to why pulling on the switch is such a hassle it seems that re-wiring the switch would be 100 times the hassle. personally i only turn them on when its foggy...thats why i thought they were called fog lights and not running lights. --mike rchkthfm@bellsouth.net wrote i have a 99 quad-cab. when i turn on my lights i always pull out the light switch to turn on the fog driving lights. is there a way to rewire the fog lights to come on when i turn on my headlights. thanks wow where do you live that has that much fog -- .bob 97 h-d fxdwg - turbocharged!! 01 dakota quad sport 5.9/auto/4x4 83 gmc jimmy beater 66 427sc cobra replica - project 66 mustang coupe - daily driver -----= posted via feeds.com uncensored usenet =----- http//www.feeds.com - the #1 group service in the world! -----== over 100000 groups - 19 different servers! =----- mac .

i have driven rwd fwd and 4wd in inclement weather conditions. in my opinion i would pick the fwd for running around town in ice or snow. i would like to propose a test for you rwd people. stop your rwd car on an incline beside a fwd car and see who is left spinning. been there done that. those rwd cars sure do get in the way at intersections. - i did that just a month or so ago... along w/ a couple of other drivers one was driving a fwd car pulled off the road to help someone who ditched a jeep cj5 on the way up about a 10% grade to ski at mission ridge. the roadway was covered w/ black ice. of all of us i was in my rwd arrow the first to get moving again -- and none of them caught up w/ me. of course i was the *only one* who had his/her vehicle set-up w/ studded tires and chained-up tires/ballast under the hatchback. bryan ^ .

im going for the 2004 1 ton single wheel... my retirement trailer wont be over 28 feet so i will have plenty now.. but thanks for the idea. m. i did this with my factory ordered 2000 ram and it is really interesting. if i remember right you have to call the dc factory info number and they will give you the production build number once it is started this can take a few weeks to get going but once you have the production number you can get daily or weekly updates by phone or on the internet you can follow your truck from the start of assembly to the dealer. i knew before the dealer called when it was going to arrive went down and watched them unload it off the carrier. everyone should do this at least once it is a real kick. i am going to wait a couple more years and order one of the new 600hds. if you havent ordered yet you might want to consider that baby it is going to be a serious heavy duty ass haulin rig perfect for a large slidein or a big fith wheel. joe .

michael greenwood wrote wow congrats on the mileage on that truck. i had the same rig 4 trucks ago. however my carb went south at about 110k so you did really well. did you replace the electronic spark advance on it i switched to vacuum advance at about 50k when the computer took a dive thats about the only thing it controlled back then. good luck with it! thanks mike ive never replaced the esa on it. i think i just got lucky with this truck because it just keeps going. ive just been slowly replacing old parts on it due to the weather being harsh on them or from them just being to old to trust now. thats why i want to replace the clutch. this spring ill have to go through and replace all the fuel lines underneath the truck. i should of done that this yr before winter set in but i kept putting that off. .

tbone fatchance@noway.now wrote in bullshit. when either car loses traction on the front wheels youve lost all control. the difference really is that in a rwd car you get off of the gas and hope that engine braking straightens it back out. if not you are sol. with a fwd you can give it a little more gas and if that doesnt work you can still try the rwd method with the emergency brake or a combination of both. gee it looks like the fwd has twice the ability to recover from a skid. for years weve all gotten the hard sell on how great fwd is in bad weather. bullshit. just because you choose not to believe it doesnt make it false. dude based on what youve said you dont have a clue what youre talking about and/or you dont have a clue how to drive in snow. years ago in the 70s i had an opal 1900. cant remember the year want to say about a 69 that i drove up to sun valley one winter. it was a rear wheel drive and the snow didnt slow it down one bit. in the morning it was the only 2 wheel drive car that made it out of the motel parking lot without having to be dug out. no chains btw at the same time i owned a 68 firebird convertible with wide tires that wouldnt even move in an inch of snow. i would have to say there are many factors that determine whether a car is a good snow vehicle or not. front or rear wheel drive is not the determining factor by any means. bill lol! and how many front wheel drive cars were in the lot at the time in the 70s i would say about none. if rear wheel drive vehicles are so capable in the snow why was yours the only one to get out all things being equal a front wheel drive vehicle will have superior performance in the snow period. bullshit. joe black 03 dakota 5.9 r/t cc calypso green 93 mustang 5.0 lx hatch with a few goodies .
