2004 Town and Country -- crappy OEM brake pads

Q: i would look into the socket for cracks and at the light assembly itself for damage or being loose. a loose bulb will vibrate and not last very long. you can find replacement sockets in many auto-parts stores packaged in red packaging called help. i dont know if they will have the specific one that you need but its worth a look. you can also get them from many bone yards but you will have to splice them into the existing harness. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving in the past week my 01 ram 1500 has gone through three turn signal bulbs in the right rear assembly. no water little dirt. i cleaned to connectors with light emery paper and blew the dust out with compressed air. a new harness for that corner all 14 of it costs $78.95 at the dealer. i cant find just the socket part anywhere. if you have any ideas on what could be causing this or on where to find the lamp socket so i can just splice it in id appreciate it very much. thanks. .

alright fellas looking for a little input/experiences with this brand motherboard. im thinking in the next month or so upgrading my system and giving the current system to my wife for her personal use. currently running msi ms-6340 main board nvidia graphics mx4000 geforce amd athlon processor 1100 256 meg ram 20 gig ide hard disk kubuntu-linux operating system proposed system machspeed msnv-939 motherboard cpu bundle amd athlon 64 3500+ processor 2.20ghz oem 4 gig ram 500 gig hard disk either ide or sata witch ever i lay hands on nvidia graphics card not decided but staying with nvidia because of their linux support kubutnu-linux operating system this board appears to have support for 4 gig of sdram pci pci-e 2 ide slots 4 sata slots below is the url to the board. http//www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-details.aspedpno=2945334&catid=1619 the reason im looking for installing 4 gig of ram when i build the new system is the fact that i promised myself the next system would have the ram capacity of the board maxed out out of the box because with the last system i didnt and later wound up regretting it because the price of pc133 ram is out of sight id like to have more but not willing to pay the price for it anyone with experience with this brand or particular board will i be disappointed in the reliabilit

weve been using lifetime mufflers for decades salt eats them out every five years or so. its definitely worth it to me. my father in law has a 82 dodge 1/2 ton he bought new. hes paid for two mufflers on that truck. the first life time muffler and a new lifetime when sanels no longer carried the original brand any more on aug 28 657 pm nosey kfre...@removethis.hotmail.com wrote the company is using the warranty as a marketing strategy to charge more for the product and make it more attractive to buyers. when you buy pads with a lifetime warranty you pay extra for that. they make the promise that if you ever wear them out theyll replace them for free as long as you own the car. its a simple business transaction. i agreed to buy their product and they agreed to replace them. i dont see it as cheating them out of anything. they are hoping you like most people dont keep your receipt or you forget about it when its time for replacement or you replace the car before then. i paid a little more up front just like the 99% of the other customers that will never use the warranty. if they didnt make money off the warranty they wouldnt offer it. okay i never heard the warranty explained this way... ill definitely return an alternator or starter if it has a lifetime warranty but not consumables like brake pads or shock absorbers. but i guess that really *is* throwing away a bit of money if the place has its pants down and is bent over waiting for me to bring back some worn out crap.. i still have that magazine around here somewhere. i scanned the brake article for a similar discussion a few years ago and saved it on my computer. if i can find it ill scan and post the clutch article too. -- ken cheers! .

i am trying to find the oil pressure sending unit on a 318 v8 engine in an 87 dodge ram 100. it has a history of problems with the oil pressure gauge fluctuating for no apparent reason. after replaceing the oil pan gasket there are no more apparent oil leaks but it is still reading low or no pressure. does anyone know where the sending unit enters the engine block so i can check that and possibly replace it. .

huh the parts guy is going to say hey these arent wearever gold semi-metallic pads! i think your overestimating the visual parts identification and revision history memorization skills of the average advance auto parts guy. and the lifetime warranty may only be good once anyway. thats how it worked with my lifetime warranted headlights back around 1989. at exchange time i needed to surrender the original lifetime certificate that came in the box. thats an interesting 18 year old electrical equipment story. how does it apply to wearevers current brake pad warranty -- ken .
