Q: we must also point out that pulling that trailer in overdrive on the highway will reduce your engine braking ability. you are not hurting the truck just be carefull and remember that if you want to slow down you may have to brake. this is why manufacturers dont recomend od when hauling it is a safety issue mark on fri 23 jan 2004 035304 gmt chris cchrista@rochester.rr.com wrote if i am pulling it in overdrive on the thruway or wherever going 65mph it feels like i have to almost floor it to get enough to keep a consistent speed sometimes. especially if there are some hills not steep. sometimes i have to punch it to get back to the speed i was kind of if i had cruise control on this is an enclosed trailer around 2000 pounds with sleds.i noticed if i turn the overdrive off it seems much smoother and no problems of course the engine is revving higher. i understand there is a lot of drag with enclosed trailers. but this isnt a lot of weight. when exactly are you supposed to turn the overdrive off i know in the city i should turn it off. can i turn it off at speeds that high will it make gas mileage a lot worse by the way it was very windy today. thanks a lot. we have a 99 ram qc with 5.9/auto/3.55 gears... pulling a 5000 trailer we find that our mileage is best if we just leave od locked out... as you have found it seems to require more gas pedal to maintain speed in od even on flat ground... i dont see this as a power thing as much as a tranny thing... i figure that you may/may not be hurting your truck to tow in od but you know that you cant hurt it by driving with od locked out... mac .

nosp@m.com | snip | i know i can just refuel when the light comes on but thats not the | point. im running out of gas before i hit empty and i dont know if the | calibration error will get worse. ive taken it to the dealer 4 times and | they said they cant find anything wrong. has anybody else run into this | problem or perhaps have a clue to what the problem is thank you. its not a good idea to run to empty as the fuel pump is cooled by the fuel. when the tank runs dry the pump can over heat. given sufficient cycles like this and you have to replace a fuel pump. not counting being stranded. .

fmb wrote cnn reports hanoi jane is back to making a movie this time with j lo. cnn didnt go into detail it was one of those streamers on the bottom of the screen but it makes me wonder if it has anything to do with her own past. for those too young to have been there and your daddy hadnt taught you go to http//urbanlegends.about.com/library/weekly/aa110399.htm and read up a bit. i for one am not interested in seeing the movie. if that link was too big try http//tinyurl.com/2wmxx . wouldnt even watch it on video. -- ..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! =----- .

lol this is a joke right !!!!! what jane fonda was supposed to have done was a crime and she should have been punished for it. please give a list of other actors who have committed similar crimes and i will ignore them too or are you also now including every actor whos opinion is not the same as yours. what amazes me is that this much disgust and hatred is lavished on only one person when celebrities have been doing this sort of thing since jane started it. why no one has boycotted hollywood and music stars on a country wide level is beyond me. max anvils dont kill cartoon characters cartoon characters kill cartoon characters. .

yes weve seen it before cadillacs chevrolets dodges seems to be almost common. the last fuel pump i put on my 82 ramcharger was like $15.00. the fuel pump for my sisters 96 van was $255.00 part only. replace the pump. agreed. however he needs to make sure the fuel filter is good and that there isnt a partial blockage in the fuel line or trash in the screen on the fuel tank if so equipped. what year is the truck is it port injected or throttle body al .
