Q: while its true that it wasnt aimed at me i felt it worthwhile that i make certain my feelings on the matter. that way in the future it cant be claimed that i did not agree to be peacable. itll be in the google archives for a lo-o-o-ong time. vbg budd wasnt aimed at you budd. im sure you are a gentleman. others on here.... not so much. -- max give a man a match and he is warm for a short while. light him on fire and he is warm for the rest of his life. i will scott. budd lol well budd im not going down this road with you again. i will just take this as a reminder and let it drop. that would be a first. but do try anyway. -- max give a man a match and he is warm for a short while. light him on fire and he is warm for the rest of his life. lol well budd im not going down this road with you again. i will just take this as a reminder and let it drop. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving no tom i never said one way or another what kind of electrode the plugs had. you assumed them to be adjustable which is typical for you then decided to offer advice without a sufficient amount of information. that puts the blame squarely upon you for beginning an argument. all i said was what my brother experienced with the set of plugs he bought when i wasnt nearby to advise him. surface gap plugs and multigap plugs both require higher voltages to work as originally designed that is 30-80k volts or more. both were originally designs for use as plasma discharge ignitors for aircraft engines in an effort to reduce or eliminate the need for dual ignition systems on aircraft fyi. modern factory oem automotive ignitions are borderline at best for firing them now if this continues as an argument its on your head. budd well budd as i can see some things never change and you wonder why you get attacked the way that you do. i try to be nice and instead of simply saying that the plugs that you used were a surface gap plug that could not be adjusted you instead and once again resort to childish insults. you really need to grow up a little bit dude. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving uh tom how can you see those plugs from where you are what gap are you talking about theyre bosh plus 4 platinums. show us how to adjust the gap on a surface gap plug mister mechanic note deliberate lack of capitalization. budd you might want to open the gap on those platinums about a thousandth or so over the factory specification. that should bring back some of the heat in his spark and make the engine run a little better. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving my kid brothers astro van 4.3 doesnt like platinums. gas mileage is down 8% and the idle quality throttlebody injection sucks. myself i dont see any real reason to buy them and when he can he plans to go back to either champions or a.c. delco. budd tom lawrence tnloaswpraemnmcien5g@earthlink.net wrote in message engine but why would you want to do that the general opinion in the group is that they do little if anything as far as performance and cost a hell of a lot more. set of 8 autolite 5224 - $10.80 set of 8 autolite ap5224 - $17.12 given that the life expectancy of a platinum-tipped plug is 3-4 times that of a conventional plug 30k intervals for conventional plugs 100k intervals for platinum the platinum plugs are cheaper in the long run. my 95 v10s been running on the same set of ap5224s for over 50k and i have no plans on changing them anytime soon. for me that extra 8 bucks was well worth it - especially in those damn #7 and #9 cylinders.... $&^!%^$% master cylinder tears my arm up. if you are gonna use platinum plugs and leave em in for a loooong time be sure to use anti-seize on the threads... especially with loomnum heads... thats why i dont recommend the plats but hey its your money.. mike .

lots of people with small cars get a receiver hitch just so they can carry a bike rack without having to hang the rack on the car; they just plug the bike rack into the receiver. mazda miata doesnt give very good surfaces for a trunk mounted bike rack. john christopher thompson wrote on a simmular note. i once seen a mazda miata with a trailer hitch on the back. when i passed the owner in the parking lot later i was scared to ask.... i once witnessed a dodge caravan towing a dually f350 on a tow dolly. to this day i cant believe it was even moving down the road but it was. doubtful it made it to their destination. terrifying. -rev jasper towing co llcc wrote towing how large a load with a caravan .

hi kevin you dont say what the remote starter is off of or do you know what it will work on anyway bad idea for the 2005 or any model that has a pass key or chip because you will need to mount an extra pass key near the ignition for the remote start to work. and yes it will void your warranty if the technician decides that the remote start is what caused a problem. kevin wrote i am thinking about putting a remote starter in my 2005 dakota problem is the one i got is aftermarket from another vehicle...i took it off and am reinstalling on this one. i cant decide if to save the warranty on the electrical system from being voided i should buy a new mopar branded one or just wait and install this one after 3 yr/36000 miles. has anyone used the mopar remote starter from what i can tell it does not include keyless entry or alarm features which i also want to add. any suggestions or advice about the mopar starter or if i should wait or not is appreciated. thank you also has anyone had any really hard times with dodges electrical systems -- message posted via carkb.com http//www.carkb.com/uwe/forums.aspx/dodge-truck/200510/1 .

well if you will look in an older dictionary like my websters college dictionary copyright 1992 you will not find the word preventative. you will also note in the web link you provided that preventative is a variant of preventive. right... but if you notice the last entry copyright 2003 by princeton university what the heck do they know anyway right i mean... theyre in joisey they list preventative as a synonym for preventive. in my best cartman from south park voice those damn hippies.... i hate hippies! /cartman its just a loosing battle mike. frankly i could care less about it. i guess we could agree that while listed in some dictionaries it still makes him sound foolish. deal .
