looking for heat-a/c controls for an 79-80 d100. trying to complete an install from an 87 and im finding that the controls for that wont quite clear the gauge panel even though with a couple adapters the controls will go into that hole okay. but i didnt check this with the gauge panel in place.. if anything the easiest route is to stick em in the hole for the radio and locate the radio some other time since i plan to build a console to shove other things into like my cb.. anyway ive done mods before but having the right set of controls would be nice since i can hook up the vacuum lines one by one if need be to get the doors right.. thanks much if anyone has such around and can sell it.. .

i can see the add now.. audi for sale low miles small dent in bumper half off... both front and rear halves available where did ya find those pics roy http//www.socalrider.net/2005/audivstree/ i honestly have no idea where they originally came from i got them on one of those fwfwfwfwfwfwfw type emails from a friend of mine. there was no information with the pix. about 20 minutes on google finds a little information on the pix... a lot of mention of 90kph. 54mph its amazing just how strong trees are. 54 mph and the car was ripped in half doesnt make sence to me ether. thats the only speed number i have found on this. im thinking that number came from the picture of the dash the speedo still says 90. when i was on the fd i worked a lot of accidents involving guard rails bridge pillars trees ect. on the interstate. never did i see a car torn like that one was. im guessing 54 is a low est. 90 sounds a little more like it. in one of the pix it shows the speedo frozen at 90... so its just a question of english or metric .

starting in 2007 all old and new transmissions will need to use a new atf+5 i bet. auburn hills mich. aug. 12 /prwire-firstcall/ -- in response to marketplace demands and evolving vehicle technology chrysler group has established a licensing program for its advanced synthetic automatic transmission fluid atf+4r. this program will allow atf+4 to be made available at retail outlets and through independent repair facilities for chrysler jeepr and dodge vehicle automatic transmissions beginning september 1 2005. a first in the industry chrysler group chose to work with the lubrizol corporation to develop a transmission fluid that sets new standards of performance in the marketplace and provides significant reduction in component wear. this technology also offers superior temperature performance providing consistent shift quality and exceptional friction modifying properties. the durability of atf+4 has been successfully proven through more than one million miles of testing in severe environments and an intensive chrysler group validation process. atf+4 will be implemented through issuance of licenses to major and independent oil companies. each blender and re-brander involved in the production and sale of atf+4 will be licensed facility accredited and periodically market-sampled to ensure consistent quality. its quality level will be closely monitored by the center for quality assurance through each step in the fluids progress from license through commercialization. the benefits of licensing our atf+4 product will allow the millions of chrysler group owners with vehicles still on the road to receive transmission fluid that is designed exactly for their vehicle said dennis florkowski chrysler group senior specialist/supervisor - chrysler fluids group. using atf+4 ensures a longer transmission life with regular servicing as described in the vehicle owners manual. atf+4 is approved for use in older transmissions and will be utilized in all future chrysler group vehicles. the previous mopar atf+3 formulation will be discontinued and atf+4 is recommended for all transmissions filled with atf+3. only certified atf+4 is recommended for service of chrysler group vehicles. the use of automatic transmission fluids other than atf+4 including those claiming to be like atf+4 could result in lower levels of performance and jeopardize transmission life. the atf+4 licensing program will be initiated in north america and subsequently expand worldwide. program license and administration will be managed by the center for quality assurance located in midland michigan. for more information concerning this program and licensing please contact rebecca cox director the center for quality assurance 989-496-2399 phone 989-496-3438 fax or clientservices@centerforqa.com . the atf+4 automatic transmission fluid formulation is exclusive to daimlerchrysler and atf+4r is a registered trademark of daimlerchrysler corporation. coasty .

the trailer has a rated tongue weight of 1400 lbs. im assuming thats for the trailer empty. the trailer also has a 2.5kw generator mounted in a front locker two propane tanks and a 27 series deep cycle battery on the tongue and a 60 gallon water tank mounted foreward of the front axle. all are oe factory installed. even empty at 1400 lbs im over the rating for the oem hitch. im using a wd hitch with 1200 spring bars and a cam anti sway system. when i lessen the tongue weight by removing the two propane tanks the truck bounces. i understand the 800-1200 lb recommendation 10-15% but swaying isnt a problem. .
