Q: www.tirerack.com gives you some ideas of sizes available and the associated costs. you can search by size or search by vehicle. jph edward l. dowdy wrote what did those puppies cost ed i put b f goodrich all terrain kos on my 03. size 285/55r/20. very happy so far. as winter approches im looking at the oe tires on my 04 1500 with 20 wheels and wonder if there are any options out there for tires that will fit these rims that are more suited for snow/off road. id like to go bigger if i can...any ideas .

on wed 24 nov 2004 182404 -0700 william g. batman@tableone.net wrote i just got my craftsman club flyer yesterday and thereare a couple an air compressors there that look quite portable. looks like sears part number #15239. says it does 150 psi with pressure regulator on a 1.5 gallon tank. the sale price is $89.99 how do i get a sale price is it available at sears stores the price i see on the website is $119. sorry i didnt explain the prices. sears has a craftsman club you just sign up for and then they send out these flyers that have these specials for a couple weeks only for card carrying members. if you like craftsman tools and i do then you can get some pretty good deals from the club sales flyer. i didnt think i would want to belong to a club that would have me for a member groucho marx but i have saved some $ belonging to the club. i bought a much larger air compressor from them and saved about $50. i think they give you an instant discount the day you sign up. i cant vouch for the size of compressor you are looking for but i understand your feelings about the crappy ones you refer to. i have a couple and hate them. pure junk. another one there is 120v and weighs 11 lbs no info on pressure or volume but is $79.99. part number #15236. theres my 2 cents worth. if sears have them then others should. thanks! i i am very tired of the cheapo tire inflators that are extremely slow and built like toys and need 12v or even worse are rechargeable. what i would like to buy is a pressure it may be that i need something like a tankless air compressor but i want one with an automatic shutoff feature for tire inflation. i could spend up to $100 for it. any suggestions -- .

assuming no damage to the door the whole she-bang done at the dealership will run you somewhere between $250$300 total for parts & labor. parts alone at retail will go close to $200 new $100 used at a salvage yard breadfan@cybercom.net writes truck 2004 ram 1500 idiot that would be me someone was kind enough to obliterate my drivers side mirror last night and im trying to determine the best way to fix this. im starting from square one in terms of knowledge here hence the idiot moniker. looking for any assistance with the following -- what a shop would likely charge ballpark for parts and labor -- instructions for fixing it myself or should i not even go there -- where i can purchase the replacement parts myself google searches werent fruitful -- any gotchas i need to know any info much appreciated! thanks ron .

try www.chpower.com - this is campbell hausfield. they offer both 12v & 120v tire inflators. i bought the 120v & it has been a dream - much more power - and a lot cheaper than sears. good luck! .

also go to http//www.crutchfield.com they give detailed install instructions and any hardware needed. stan tom thanks for the perfect thorough response! todd is there any detailed instructions out there on how to first remove factory unit and install a new one - remove the screw above the bag holder just to the left of the glove compartment. - open up the ashtray and cupholder trays - this is to prevent scratching the fronts later on - remove the entire center bezel panel by pulling it off. start at the bag holder - just give it a good yank - the panel is held in place with metal spring clips which will scratch up the fronts of the cupholder and ashtray had you not opened them up first - once the bezel is removed rest it on the cupholder and disconnect all of the electrical connectors theyre all different so no need to worry about getting them mixed up - set the center bezel aside - remove the four screws holding the radio in place. - slide the radio out and disconnect the electrical and antenna connections from the rear installation will be the reverse. be warned that the antenna connector isnt a standard gm-style connector so you may need an adapter to go to an aftermarket unit. .

nosey i truly am sorry i made the mistake of making contact with you by mistake or even misfortune however when these damn threads get off topic it doesnt seem to matter whether or not the content is true false or even grammatic mistelemetry ..... i think it all started with not remembering how i made it home from the local golf course tournament benefit for alheisheimers disease so to distract myself from stressing out about it i began reading this groups massages of course i didnt read the one that described the true meaning of life which may have contributed to my thinking you werent nosey at all but the jerk incognito. i had undoubtedly confused you with the yerk a copycat phony from somewhere in scandinavia. so as it is clear to see now i should have never left the adult care center in the first place not only has it synthesized a feeling in your interrupt handler that continues to re justify itself to this day but at least i am back in touch with reality. now let me open my christmas presents with out interruption please. i never even met mr. spam anyway. that is the way it all began as farce as i am concerned unless i forgot something. confusa rice has my full sport anywho. on tue 23 nov 2004 193005 gmt nosey kfrei43@removethis.hotmail.com wrote i would like to clear one thing up though. it is my understanding that spam is loosely defined as blasting out unsolicited messages in some shape or form. in my own defense i actually had refrained from posting this link to the board. however after the long amsoil discussion on this board a little while back i recieved several emails from people asking to be notified about when my site had this functionality. reluctantly i posted and used the adv to make everyone aware of the topic of the message. furthermore i even tried to lighten the tone of the message by stating it was the synthetic that everybody loves to bash. this was a bit of tongue and cheek in relation to that long amsoil discussion on this board previously. what is spam it probably means different things to different people. imho spam messages are unsolicited advertisements. i treated the message as such knowing that you could take the criticism. i suggested the alternative to posting advertisements because i know you participate here. sarcasm doesnt translate well to written text. i think we both fell victim to that. i also related telemarketers to spammers. even if i like the products i wont buy anything from telemarketers either. im still trying to figure out the joe brophy reply. i thought it was pretty clear that i was referring to you not him. .
