92 dakota POOR Brakes question
From : earl groce
Q: tbone wrote yep as soon as the other groups he subscribes to get tired of listening to his crap and the weather is not good enough for him to go out fishing he comes back. dont know if he still does but one group had a thread entitled budds rants i dont think he posts crap for the most part. has good info on the old dodges and seems to have been of help to some coming here in the past. agreed. seems everyone of the regulars here have some sort of non-relevant topic they like to bring up time and time again even if only as jokes wabbits and leather seats come to mind. jokes and one liners are the norm here. to compare that to the stuff that budd has been posting is a hell of a stretch. have to as have you read his stuff over the past month the religious stuff seems to be a recent addition to budds contributions here. has he seen god been close to the other side after yet another body part failure dont know dont care. everybody has issues at one time or another. most deal with them and move on. none has come to the level of behavior that he has. dont know but it doesnt really get me too riled. given the amount of back-biting that has always been a part of this group seems some religious proselytizing shouldnt be too hard to put up with given some of the other discussions zinging back and forth around here in the past! some that is well intended. but the crap and the manner of his recent posts are nothing but bs and trolling. doing so one should expect the response recieved thus far. bottom line imho is that his family hopefully reads his posts and takes him to the doc to get his meds balanced or changed. roy smh .

them off and go back on and they may work 1 - 7 or 8 times and quit. is the blinkers switch in the column going bad if so how hard is it to replace yes its the multi-function switch thats shot. replacement is pretty simple. essentially you remove the trim pieces from the steering column torx screwdrivers needed then remove the multi-function switch with a security or tamper-proof torx screwdriver same as a regular torx only with a hole in the middle because the screw head has a pin in the middle. the wiring harness is screwed to the switch so youll remove that screw as well. getting the steering column trim pieces to all line up upon re-assembly will probably be the trickiest part of the job. just dont tighten any screws until the pieces all fit together. before doing this disconnect the battery and wait several minutes for the capacitors in the airbag system to discharge. accidentally setting off an airbag in your face could ruin your whole day. .

lol and this is our militaries commander and chief. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving was reading about our presidents next trip. hes off to viet nam. couldnt get him there during the war but i guess he figures with veterans day and all he might as well show up. yall knock yerselves out bashing bush but at least he had the balls to go after the terrorist thugs who perpetrated 9/11. are you buying into the iraqis were behind the wtc absolutely not... and neither is bush contray to what the media may try to proffer as fact. thats more than i can say about clinton/kerry/kenndy and their ilk. one left a woman to drown in his car while he walked off in a drunken stupor and the other spent his tour in nam collecting sham purple hearts with which to begin his career in politics and ol ankle pants who dodged the draft i might add spent his time in the oval office collecting blowjobs rather that catch and kill those who bombed the wtc the first time...yeah now those folks you gotta admire..... at least kerry was in country. well i guess pretty soon gw will be too. sorry roy... i entered the usmc in 69 and will never forget how kerry betrayed those of us who were serving. the truth hasnt come out yet about kerrys service but when it does there will be a whole lot of folks enjoying the taste of crow. he betrayed his country and his fellow servicemen and for that i can never forgive him. imho there is no comparison between bush and kerry...... none!! mike not really the same but if you want to think so thats fine. roy .

tbone wrote when is enough enough when it comes to what they take from society according to you its not enough until they are crushed into submission and punished to your liking. actually what would improve that would be a graduated system for this tax itself. under a certain item value there would be no tax and as the value increases so does the tax percentage on it. we already have various luxury taxes on many items. it doesnt always solve the issue intended. it has to be balanced with the economy the particular items market serves. in otherwords an items value is relative to other items in the same market. you cant say tax everything higher that costs more than x $s. it has to be a higher tax on higher priced items in a given market. a $200000 car should be taxed higher than a $200000 house. .

ive replaced all the fluid while replacing all the brakes... did not use a hp brake fluid. ive read about bedding the pads before and was doing the bedding process.. after about the 4th stopping cycle i essentially had no brakes.. have not tried them today. bedding procedures are different for each application. the deal is to get them hot enough to burn off the crap and let them cool with out makeing hard contact with the rotors. i just bought a new car and had to bed the pads. i used to 10 cycles 60-10mph drive 15 minutes to cool them then repeat the cycle and cool them again. work real good. roy earl on sun 12 nov 2006 104217 -0500 nosey kfrei43@removethis.hotmail.com wrote earl groce wrote i own two 92 dakotas. one is a 3.9 5spd 232k poor brakes lots of brake fade. other is a new to me 92 4x4 auto with a 360 i installed.. it has new rotors new calipers new autozone top of the line pads i put new shoes on her yesterday. i also has poor brakes willnot slide the wheels.. lots of brake fade. is there a secret to having decent brakes on a 92 dakota earl have you bled the brakes lately do you know about bedding new pads read http//www.zeckhausen.com/bleedingbrakes.htm and http//www.zeckhausen.com/beddinginbrakes.htm .
