Q: thank you for the reply much appreciated. i was told though that the caravan se version doed not have the wiring needed in its waring harness. that is why they suggested my looking after market. i am amazed that i cant find anyone that does it.. thank you again chris... .

if you are talking about a pool of battery acid somehow lying between the + and - terminals that would be a fairly high resistance although somewhat conductive. mostly it would depend on the shape of the pool. i would imagine that at 12v it would draw on the order of a few milliamps. certainly much less important than the inherent self-discharge rate of a lead-acid battery. i tend to agree however this is ther main reason proper battery maintenance includes washing the battery. thus i have to conclude that the drainage is significant enough to affect battery performance. depends on how you look. a voltmeter between the terminal and the clamp should reveal no potential difference. if it does make a better connection by whatever means works. most certainly. lectric thangs airnt trustworthy. most of the time they are compelled to follow the laws of physics and when they misbehave there is usually a good reason if you know where and how to look. except the time i was standing inside the transmitter of an fm station tweakin on stuff and the 25kw final tube decided to jump out and bite me in the calf through a faraday shield hd grounded aluminum cage. i took 7200v at about 4a at 100mhz. burned a 2 hole in my calf vaporized the frizz on my socks and melted the sole of my hush puppies. even the factory engineers from collins couldnt figure out how that happened. that hurt just reading about it. -- 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. max dodge wrote agreed to all that you say except that you forgot to mention the possible drainage from battery acid leakage. this may be what cause the corrosion to begin with. ill counter this with the condition that i doubt it would completely drain a battery unless left for an extended time. if you are talking about a pool of battery acid somehow lying between the + and - terminals that would be a fairly high resistance although somewhat conductive. mostly it would depend on the shape of the pool. i would imagine that at 12v it would draw on the order of a few milliamps. certainly much less important than the inherent self-discharge rate of a lead-acid battery. further playing devils advocate id suggest that the resistance from a corroded cable clamp etc. could look initially like the battery was drained. depends on how you look. a voltmeter between the terminal and the clamp should reveal no potential difference. if it does make a better connection by whatever means works. ill end by saying that in disregard of all known electrical theory dc current in a 12v negative ground system acts as it sees fit at times and almost anything can happen if the system is not maintained well. lectric thangs airnt trustworthy. most of the time they are compelled to follow the laws of physics and when they misbehave there is usually a good reason if you know where and how to look. except the time i was standing inside the transmitter of an fm station tweakin on stuff and the 25kw final tube decided to jump out and bite me in the calf through a faraday shield hd grounded aluminum cage. i took 7200v at about 4a at 100mhz. burned a 2 hole in my calf vaporized the frizz on my socks and melted the sole of my hush puppies. even the factory engineers from collins couldnt figure out how that happened. .

harry@carwreck.com wrote i tired to put a new aiwa cd player in my 1990 dodge b150. everything weems fine except for one small problem. there was one wire from the dodge harness that i couldnt figure out what to do with the orange one that was on the same block as the power. so i left this one alone. on my new stereo there was a yellow wire that seems to be for the memory i connected it to the pink/red wire and the stereo works and hold time and presets. the real problem is this when i turn on the headlights in this configuration it blows fuse 6 horn guage lights and rear lights-but not brake lights the new stereo doesnt have the dimming capability of the original unit... how do i fix this thanks harry power antenna jam .

thanks guys i was hoping engine mounts would be the same based on the assumption that this was a new crate engine i had hoped that mopar may have made it a drop in replacement for the 360. obviously naively so. g same sort of thinking for the headers i dont like the idea of fabricating top fit. i was hoping someone had already done it and might be able to point me at off-the-shelf solutions. might be served doing a small block with a turbo or a blower. the results will be close and youll save a few grand imo. i had considered the centrifugal supercharger and may still go with it. i can get a 320hp base from jegs for around 4k. http//www.jegs.com/cgi-bin/ncommerce3/productdisplayprrfnbr=4514&prmenbr=361 that will be a drop in with headers available too. i can then add a paxton or similar to that. dont be too sure. depending on what blower and how much boost may require a different cam pistons and con rods and valve train. roy .

go to the dealerships parts department thats where i got mine for my diesel. they should have one for your dodge. dale gene gene@nowhere.com wrote hi bought a 2003 dodge durange god i love this ride and filled the tank but what with the cost of gas today i want to use what i buy! suggestions of who to go to for a gas cap that locks and is not something thrown together in the back of a chinese sweatshop .

wow forget that 50% more its like 1700% more in one case.... so wait... now 3%/2%=1700% figures in the link... k&n appears worse than even tbone could imagine. -- 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. wow forget that 50% more its like 1700% more in one case.... so wait... now 3%/2%=1700% ^ .
