ive been great thank you. how are those two slobs you drive the camaro and el camino. i hope all is well with you. rk on thu 01 nov 2007 232950 gmt refinish king julio572004@verizon.net puked lofl! i hope you arent doing that with the el camino nah its still swallowing gas by the quart. howve ya been rk on mon 29 oct 2007 140311 -0400 peterd peter2@hipson.net puked on mon 29 oct 2007 095311 -0600 ric seyler ricseyler@gulf.net wrote steve wrote with the cost of crude oil hitting $90 a barrel this is something you cant pass up! this is not a scam and can save you real money. a quick down and dirty of how this works magnets on the fuel line or the turbonator behind the air cleaner lololololol i used to think that magnets were just a joke but then i tried it. i broke apart about a zillion dead hard drives. got all the magnets out of them there were an average of two magnets in each drive so i had two zillion of em next i glued them to the fuel lines which took about 20 or so magnets. what i did next was nothing short of brilliant. i glued the remaining magnets to the front bumper grill and everwhere else i could on the front. even around the windshield. you guessed it i got on the highway and soon found that i didnt even have to press the accelerator. id only about two or three gallons of gas left in the tank anyway and eventually that ran out just with the engine idling. the engine shut down and im still doing about 70+ mph! incredible... man this is great. i started in new york and im just getting through denver all on that three gallons of gas ok the gas ran out in kansas but im still going. now im writing this on my blackberry while on the road. steering and driving doesnt seem that hard without gas but ive got one problem. how do i get unstuck from the back of this semi lol -- labrat - stupid humans... -- labrat - stupid humans... .

thanks everyone. sorry for not being clear i took it for granted that everyone here already knew what it was without taking into account just how fast these groups can grow and change. its an 00 durango that i bought for my daughters first car. -- nathan in montana http//concealedcarryforum.com http//1911talk.com http//hipowertalk.com http//glockcarry.com http//p99sw99.com http//ppstalk.com http//p7talk.com on fri 2 nov 2007 002546 -0600 nathan w. collier asdf@asdf.com wrote first tank of fuel through the 4.7 liter durango averaged 13mpg. im wondering how this compares to comparable vehicles. thanks nate... im guessing that my 01 dakota is a bit lighter than a durango neither one of us is an economical driver and weve always gotten around 12 or 13 in town and 19 - 20 on trips.. 01 dak.. 4.7l auto cc 355 gears.. mac please remove splinters before emailing .

while changing out the fluid and filter id like to adjust the bands in my 95 2500hd. the haynes manual lists adjustment specs for 3 different transmissions in a 95 and im not sure which unit i have. the options are either 42rh 46rh or 47rh. the window sticker just lists it as a 4-speed hd transmission. i did find a sticker on the tranny that looks like a sku with the numbers 4617 820 071753. the truck is a 2 wheel drive with the 360. thanks for any help! .
