i dont know how many of you know that dan rather and 60 minutes cbs ran a story attacking george bush and his time in the national guard. one of the basis points of this attack garbage where documents which have now been determined to be forgeries! rather than admit to their biased reporting and lack of professionalism dan rather has attempted to stand behind thier report! this has been done in spite of the colonels wife and son specifically stating that they did not believe that the documents were real that the colonel did not keep typed notes of any sort and that they did not provide the information from the files! they both have specifically stated that they do not know where the files came from because they did not have them nor did anyone they know! on top of this over a dozen cryptologists have come out and voiced their feelings that the documents are fakes. because of this we are calling for a national boycott of cbs and all of its advertisers! please email these people voicing your displeasure. to email go to their web site http//www.cbs.com/sections/home/main100.shtml and click on contact us and tell them that you are disgusted with their lack of professionalism and bias in covering this presidential race! thank you a concerned citizen an email sent to cbs follows dan rather sucks! even i spotted the th of the 111th as a problem and knew that the documents were not created in the time frame reported by you people! i am calling a boycott of all cbs shows and all cbs advertisers. you will see this note posted all over the internet. i hope you lose millions of dollars because you deserve it for your incredibly biased and unprofessional coverage of the presidential race. where is your show featuring the swift boat vets where your new detractor xx xxxxx .

trey wrote if its full time 4wd then you can not disconnect the front wheels. its a different transfercase that acts like a third differential. removing the front drive shaft in order to disengage the front wheels will then open one end of the diff and you will not move at all. just put an extra 5 pounds in the tires and keep it under 70 and the mpg should not be too horrific. what happens if the center diff is locked as can be done on many vehicles some can lock unlock or be put in nuetral when towing the vehicle. if its a 70s full time what was it the np203 transfer case you cant remove the front drive shaft and lock it in 4wd high. it will ruin the transfer case. they make a kit to convert the transfer case and add locking hubs. it only works on vehicles with floating front wheel bearings. most people i have talked to about it say it hurts the handling and does not do a lot for gas mileage. most claim one or two mpg gain.so you could theatrically pay for the conversion kit in about 75000 miles al .

would a guy named dumbneasy know that sheeeeeeeesh! nope...i didnt know that and i aint got no solenoids! i got high-low-nuetral. and in neutral nothing goes anywhere. ps-s-st....77 dodge but dont tell! depends on the vehicle but im sure you already knew that. some have a solenoid that engages the front. pulling a connector disengages it essentially making it 2wd. you knew that right .

assuming you combine this with the trailer i predict the steering effort to keep it straight will tire you out wind gusts may scare you. you ever hear of something called a weight distributing hitch put a good amount of ballast in the bed and some stiff 10-ply tires pumped up to 45 lbs more weight on the rear of the truck that should really screw up things and 10 ply tires pumped up all the way to 45 lbs this some secret combination maybe 75 with 10 ply tires your recommendations scare me politics the gentle art of getting votes from the poor and campaign funds from the rich. .
