have an old 94 dodge 1 ton van - great vehicle descending into the abyss of beaterdom. on a recent trip on the highway had an interruption of power - seemed like ignition but very quick-felt almos mechanical- checked all fluids - found the tranny fluid just a bit low added fluid and problem went away for 200 miles. its a 318 with auto overdrive. later it came back - added fluid and it was ok but came back - now its there even though fluid is full. wonder about torque conv. lockup being intermittent - i dont think its the overdrive kicking in and out. any ideas on this would be appreciated. also wonder if i can disconnect lockup to eliminate problem or if this would be wise. thanx bob .

its been at least 5-6 years how long ive been in because i distinctly remember being told on each move that the only places that government will pay to ship a vehicle to are oconus and then its only one. i hear you though when just about every family now owns two vehicles it does make these moves difficult sometimes. what branch are you in what rank something just doesnt sound right about them not flipping the cost for moving a vehicle on a pcs in conus i have only been out 2 years after serving 16 and never single or married was told anything even remotely similar. got any idea what that trailer weighed loaded trying to make a comparison. as i said above i figure that with added weight of a trailer or dolly plus the 4runner i am figuring max about 6200# 5570# toyota plus trailer wt and thats probably a heavy estimate. man honestly have no idea on the weight anymore. if i had to guess i would say somewhere around 3 or 4k. it was a completely enclosed trailer which i figure was about 1500 or so. .

i have a ramcharger with rotting plastic vac lines. i want to replace them with rubber vac hose. has anyone done this what sizes of hose do i need and how many feet approximately connectors etc. thank you in advance for your help. ah perhaps if you disconnected one end and measured them the main issue is what size 3/8 or 1/4 etc and i was looking more for total amount of hose ill need so i can buy it in bulk. plus there are tons of choices for connectors at least 20 different kinds. since im going to a different material it isnt as easy as just measuring one end to the other and buying a hose to fit. ill be doing all that after i find out sizes etc. .
