4 x 4 Not working???

Q: once again you talk with nothing to back up what you say. check the links yourself. they were referring to a copper line. there are multiple grades of steel fluid line material for both pressure and corrosion resistance as well as materials for protecting those materials and none of the bullshit you have been spewing out says anything different. but the lack of proof to back your claims says different. until you can conclusively prove that every brake line in every vehicle uses exactly the same material and possible protection method you have no facts just your typical crap. all dodge truck lines are the same material. you claim differently in the first few posts you make. the burden of proof is still on you. the manufacturer does not have to list such things actually they could be considered trade secrets so your chances of finding this information would be slim at best. lol your spin is indeed amusing. trade secret thats funny. after claiming that dc used the cheapest stuff available you claim its a trade secret go back and read my second post. i said that the problem could be caused by that and that it could also be caused by a batch of bad line but i suspected the greed reasonto be the most likely with the other things they have been doing. right. so you think the problem is large in scale and you blame it on corporate greed. basically you have just admitted to what you denied only one post ago. flip flop. yawn more spin. if the change occurred it would happen to all trucks from the time of the change. you claimed a change occurred now you say it would be on all trucks. large scale problem which you deny saying. if a change began sometime in the 97 production run then only the 97s built after the change and up would be affected. i chastised tom because like you he made an invalid assumption that parts and materials cant change from year to year and was wrong. um no he and i are correct you are as usual full of shit. you havent proven otherwise and indeed you claim of corporate greed and cost cutting points to toml and i being correct. face it you dont know if you are coming or going. the really amusing thing here is your complete lack of understanding. there are reasons when this is true but it is obvious that you really dont have a clue as to what they are. here is a hint it has to do with design and retooling costs neither of which would be needed to change the tubing to a lower quality and cost material. once again you eat crow lol! so why if tubing would be so cheap to begin with would they use a higher grade than necessary for whatever reason you think the corporations suddenly got more greedy. once again your claims are shown to be just so much crap. nope it indicates a part for a specific purpose but the part itself can vary in construction. which violates your claim that brake line is somehow cheaper from one year to the next. nope. obviously you have no clue what mopar part numbers do when a part is changed due to design or materials. they have a system that clearly indicates a change even if the number appears to be the same. that change is evident to anyone who knows the system and knows the alphabet. lol wrong. that change indicates a revision to a part to fix a problem not for just materials alone or to cut costs. but you recently claimed that the part number stayed the same even if the part was changed or revised. recently as in the same post as the one you are now claiming the part number gets changed with a revision. show me either the error in what i said or where i said that the company was out to screw the customer dont worry ill wait. more denial. both were fairly clear except to you. i guess spin makes your vision blurry. i am denying it because it is not true and am still waiting for you to show me using those exact words. otherwise this is nothing more than your typical spin. lol well were done here. ive provided the requested info and you deny it while staring at it. typical. is morgan fairchild available for comment yet -- max there are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty soap ballot jury and ammo. please use in that order. -ed howdershelt author .

your tires are the same size. part time 4x4s have a hard time if any of them are different. as for the hydroplaning feeling that is normal in slippery conditions because now the speed of your front wheels are now being controlled by the drive train instead of free wheeling at the speed of the truck and may be sliding or spinning especially in a turn. it takes a little getting used to playing with the throttle to stop it from doing that but that is all part of the fun. . 222 309571 1134999472.366612.235560@g43g2000cwa.googlegroups.com denny yopu oe mi a kaybod. b*dd denny wrote now stay in your corner until you actually have something of value to post or at least not make a fool out of yourself. talk about not taking ones own advice.......... denny .

most fuel problems are not monitored hahahahahahahahahaha. about the only fuel problem that is not monitored is fuel pressure directly. which coincidentally is what a lack of fuel is isnt it the fuel delivery system in a dodge has no direct monitoring. a failed pump will not show a code or an cel. thus a code would show a problem with the engine management not the fuel delivery system. -- max there are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty soap ballot jury and ammo. please use in that order. -ed howdershelt author most fuel problems are not monitored hahahahahahahahahaha. about the only fuel problem that is not monitored is fuel pressure directly. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving could be a fuel filter but since most fuel problems are not monitored by the pcm and your cel is coming on id check for codes before assuming anything else. -- max there are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty soap ballot jury and ammo. please use in that order. -ed howdershelt author about one week ago i tried to start my truck. nothing it just clicked .so i put some dry gas in and heated the truck up and nothing so i looked at the plugs and replaced them. it started right up no problem. as i was driving it chugs. the more i accelerate the more it chugs my check engine light blinks when it chugs then goes off when it returns normal. not i came upona stop sign and when i went to go it chuged then stalled out now my cel stays on and blinks still when it feel like its starving for gas its a 98 dodge dakota 3.9 2wd thanks .

ok it is in snow and very slippery road. well when in second gear i give it gass and the rear spins then clunk and it feels like it goes into four wheel driver i have already engaged it nope just in 4 wheel high range. tires are all the same size. never really felt the hydroplanning though before. maybe cuz i am more leary. yes i agree its fun. thanx for the input..... on mon 19 dec 2005 073743 gmt tbone tbonenospam@nc.rr.com wrote all right thats a part time 4x4. what conditions are you driving it in while in 4 wheel drive you do know that you shouldnt be using it on dry roads that way right please explain more clearly what you mean by hesitation in second gear are you talking about hesitation or binding i hope that you are talking about second gear on the transmission and are not trying to shift into low range while driving. also make sure that all of your tires are the same size. part time 4x4s have a hard time if any of them are different. as for the hydroplaning feeling that is normal in slippery conditions because now the speed of your front wheels are now being controlled by the drive train instead of free wheeling at the speed of the truck and may be sliding or spinning especially in a turn. it takes a little getting used to playing with the throttle to stop it from doing that but that is all part of the fun. .

once again you talk with nothing to back up what you say. check the links yourself. they were referring to a copper line. so what i am not talking about that. you are making the claim that all manufacturers at all times use the same steel lines and have yet to back this up. there are multiple grades of steel fluid line material for both pressure and corrosion resistance as well as materials for protecting those materials and none of the bullshit you have been spewing out says anything different. but the lack of proof to back your claims says different. no different than you max. where is your proof until you can conclusively prove that every brake line in every vehicle uses exactly the same material and possible protection method you have no facts just your typical crap. all dodge truck lines are the same material. you claim differently in the first few posts you make. the burden of proof is still on you. nope. i said that my lines failed while tom and dennys 95s did not with the possibility and probability that they changed the material used in the lines in 97 and why. you made the claim that this change did not and never does occur so the burden of proof to back that definite statement up actually falls on you. the manufacturer does not have to list such things actually they could be considered trade secrets so your chances of finding this information would be slim at best. lol your spin is indeed amusing. trade secret thats funny. after claiming that dc used the cheapest stuff available you claim its a trade secret yep anything that they dont want the general public and their competetors falls under the term trade secret. the bird population is beginning to get a little thin around here. go back and read my second post. i said that the problem could be caused by that and that it could also be caused by a batch of bad line but i suspected the greed reasonto be the most likely with the other things they have been doing. right. so you think the problem is large in scale and you blame it on corporate greed. basically you have just admitted to what you denied only one post ago. flip flop. spin spin. yawn more spin. if the change occurred it would happen to all trucks from the time of the change. you claimed a change occurred now you say it would be on all trucks. large scale problem which you deny saying. where did i make this claim i said if it happened. there goes another crow. if a change began sometime in the 97 production run then only the 97s built after the change and up would be affected. i chastised tom because like you he made an invalid assumption that parts and materials cant change from year to year and was wrong. um no he and i are correct you are as usual full of shit. you havent proven otherwise and indeed you claim of corporate greed and cost cutting points to toml and i being correct. only because you dont understand even basic manufacturing cost structure. explain to me how using a less expensive line will increase the cost ill wait. face it you dont know if you are coming or going. it is funny to watch you spin yourself into complete confusion. the really amusing thing here is your complete lack of understanding. there are reasons when this is true but it is obvious that you really dont have a clue as to what they are. here is a hint it has to do with design and retooling costs neither of which would be needed to change the tubing to a lower quality and cost material. once again you eat crow lol! so why if tubing would be so cheap to begin with would they use a higher grade than necessary for whatever reason you think the corporations suddenly got more greedy. once again your claims are shown to be just so much crap. nope it just shown your ignorance. all it takes is for someone to make an offer to supply a material or produce a part for less money to cause a change. and yes under certain situations companies can suddenly get more greedy like just before a takeover. like miles constantly demonstrates its all about the money. nope it indicates a part for a specific purpose but the part itself can vary in construction. which violates your claim that brake line is somehow cheaper from one year to the next. in what way it actually fully supports my claim pinhead. it says that the brake line component can carry the same part number which indicates that it is used for the same purpose but could be made out of an inferior material than the year before. there goes another one. nope. obviously you have no clue what mopar part numbers do when a part is changed due to design or materials. they have a system that clearly indicates a change even if the number appears to be the same. that change is evident to anyone who knows the system and knows the alphabet. lol wrong. that change indicates a revision t

on thu 12 jan 2006 220910 -0700 budd cochran mr-d150@preciscom spam.net wrote the best way to remove engine sludge is to prevent it. adjust oil change intervals according to operation parameters. lots of highway miles for example are better than short trips that dont warm the engine up. if the engine sits a lot change the oil every few months or for synthetics check with the oil manufacturer. always change the filter with the oil. budd definitely no argument there budd but when you are in the business as i was you always ran into the guy who knew better and was proud of the fact he never changed the oil or the guy who was just forgetful and neglected to change the oil or the guy who used the cheapest oil he could get. or you got the guy who bought the car one of those guys used to own. in those cases the judicious use of a flushing agent was often necessary. on fri 13 jan 2006 023904 gmt alex someone@microsoft.com wrote none. you probably dont want to do this is the engine runs. subject line sez all. what is the recommended brand of engine flush thats readily available for a sluggish v8 at 90k miles there are many who will disagree with you depending on the circumstances. ive used coal oildeisel fuel atf shaler rislone bardahl #1 casite engine flush and a host of other commercial engine flushes over the last almost 40 years. only lost one engine to it and it was beyond help before the flush. if i had dropped the pan right away a set of bearings and an oil pickup screen would have salvaged it but hindsight has 20-20 vision.1965 225 slant six with a split oil pickup screen due to some hamfist working on it previously its not so much what you use as how you use it and what you are attempting to accomplish. it is a whole lot easier to for instance adjust the valves on a flathead dodge or continental when you can actually see the tappets.or when you have an engine that has sat for 6-10 years and although it ran fine when parked it smokes badly when restarted due to stuck oil control rings due to sludging. in the case of a heavily sludged engine you need to be gentle and take your time. on a relatively clean engine like the one with stuck rings you can afford to be more agressive. .

has anyone had a similar experience any ideas for check points are appreciated. how olds the battery you didnt do it any favors by draining it. have it load-tested and replace it if its even suspect. start with the simple stuff... you can check for any stored codes by cycling the ignition key three times from off to on. theyll display on the odometer though i wouldnt think there would be any. doesnt hurt to check. as far as the fuel filter.... better to just check the presure at the fuel rail first if you suspect a fuel delivery problem. much easier than dropping the tank and removing the fuel pump module to see that in all likelihood the filter screen is just fine. is it safe to assume that the rest of the maintnance has been kept up with plugs cap and rotor changed at around 30k intervals wires changed around 60k throttle body cleaned at least once .

hi was wanting suggestions... 95 dodge ram 1500 4x4 105k miles i replaced the defective steering box with a high rated performance aftermarket unit i forget the company installed a borgeson steering shaft. track bar has been replaced twice over the years. i also installed a pitman arm support device to prevent the side loads on the steering box its called a steering stiffener i have a little noise in the steering column itself but i can live with that. my problem is over the last year my steering has gotten extra sloppy it was never great and improved after replacing those parts but now is worse than before. i really dont want to live with it anymore. i have been thinking about getting a different vehicle but i do really like this truck its paid for and i have a motorcycle to ride when weather permits. i would rather keep it but i have to put some money into it and fix this or dump it. please offer suggestions alignment shops always say everything looks ok. thanks .

hello i bought the wife a 98 dodge ram 1500 a couple of weeks ago. in that time she has drained the battery twice. basically twice in 2 weeks. here is how she explains it to me. when you turn off the truck if you turn it back to far you can still take the key out but somehow the power to something is still on and drains the battery. first time she did it; ok her dad was there while she was visiting and they jumped it with one of his v-8 rigs. second time it was 0400 am in the morning and i had to go outside in the rain and jump her with our little 4 cylinder toyota. at first it didnt want to jump the big dodge. i dont want up again at 0400 in the morning because she does this again. is there a way to prevent this or is she doing something wrong tim one of the hardest to trouble shoot check and make sure all your accessories are off. if you have lamp under the hood that comes on when you open it check and make sure it is off when closed. check all your battery connections and make sure the terminals and posts are clean including the starter terminals. coasty .

i have a 2001 3500 dodge van with a 5.9 l v8 engine that has worried me with an intermittent problem. i use it to tow my desert race truck and fear that it is going to leave me stranded some time. on two occasions in the desert i have tried to start the engine and it would only idle. when i would try to accelerate the engine would die. i tried several times to restart it both in park and neutral. the first time this occurred it eventually started and ran fine. on the second occasion the battery had gone dead and was being jumped from another vehicle. several times it started and idled but died when i pressed the accelerator. it finally started and i could gradually accelerate and then it was ok to drive. has anyone had a similar experience any ideas for check points are appreciated. jim .

i have a 95 ram 2500hd 1-ton suspension package i believe with a broken rear leaf. the truck has 110000 miles on it and im assuming it could use complete new spring packs but since im moving south soon well out of the rust belt id like to put as little money into it as possible. despite the corrosion i was able to get the u-bolts off without much difficulty. the broken spring is the third one down of four and its the one that the clips are attached to. the center bolt that holds the pack together has a round head on it and im having trouble getting any real torque on it to get it apart. can i just cut this bolt and buy a new one from the sping shop that id be getting the replacement leaf from also do i have to cut the clips to get this leaf out and do they not need to be there i also did try the nuts holding the shackle on just to see if theyd come off and was able to but are those threaded rivets instead of bolts they didnt seem to want to drive out whatsoever. thanks in advance for any help scott posted via usenet.com premium usenet group services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** speed ** retention ** completion ** anonymity ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http//www.usenet.com .
