A/C condensiate leaking into interior

Q: tom lawrence wrote are you sure about that pretty sure... a buddy and i spent the better part of the day troubleshooting his abs problem. he would get an abs light shortly after rolling. we disconnected each combination of two sensors leaving only one connected at a time to try and use the speedometer to detect a bad sensor. each time the abs lights would go out after the self-test but come back on when he started rolling because only one sensor was showing voltage pulses. now its possible that if a sensor failed in such a way as to short closed that would immediately trip the warning lights - i dont know we never shorted his connectors. is there a possibility for the connectors to the sensor to cause the problems .

im famillar with reciever bike racks but this hitch had the draw bar and ball hitch in it. thats what scared me...... lots of people with small cars get a receiver hitch just so they can carry a bike rack without having to hang the rack on the car; they just plug the bike rack into the receiver. mazda miata doesnt give very good surfaces for a trunk mounted bike rack. john christopher thompson wrote on a simmular note. i once seen a mazda miata with a trailer hitch on the back. when i passed the owner in the parking lot later i was scared to ask.... i once witnessed a dodge caravan towing a dually f350 on a tow dolly. to this day i cant believe it was even moving down the road but it was. doubtful it made it to their destination. terrifying. -rev jasper towing co llcc wrote towing how large a load with a caravan .

well budd as i can see some things never change and you wonder why you get attacked the way that you do. i try to be nice and instead of simply saying that the plugs that you used were a surface gap plug that could not be adjusted you instead and once again resort to childish insults. you really need to grow up a little bit dude. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving uh tom how can you see those plugs from where you are what gap are you talking about theyre bosh plus 4 platinums. show us how to adjust the gap on a surface gap plug mister mechanic note deliberate lack of capitalization. budd you might want to open the gap on those platinums about a thousandth or so over the factory specification. that should bring back some of the heat in his spark and make the engine run a little better. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving my kid brothers astro van 4.3 doesnt like platinums. gas mileage is down 8% and the idle quality throttlebody injection sucks. myself i dont see any real reason to buy them and when he can he plans to go back to either champions or a.c. delco. budd engine but why would you want to do that the general opinion in the group is that they do little if anything as far as performance and cost a hell of a lot more. set of 8 autolite 5224 - $10.80 set of 8 autolite ap5224 - $17.12 given that the life expectancy of a platinum-tipped plug is 3-4 times that of a conventional plug 30k intervals for conventional plugs 100k intervals for platinum the platinum plugs are cheaper in the long run. my 95 v10s been running on the same set of ap5224s for over 50k and i have no plans on changing them anytime soon. for me that extra 8 bucks was well worth it - especially in those damn #7 and #9 cylinders.... $&^!%^$% master cylinder tears my arm up. if you are gonna use platinum plugs and leave em in for a loooong time be sure to use anti-seize on the threads... especially with loomnum heads... thats why i dont recommend the plats but hey its your money.. mike .

lol unless you also take into account that there lower resistance allows the arc to form at a lower voltage at factory settings which actually can decrease performance as demonstrated by budds brothers car as well as my own ram and if you follow the recommended maintenance schedule you would be replacing the copper core plugs way before the change in gap would have any measurable effect so once again you are still full of it. since your ram has the original cap and rotor i think your voltage drop isnt happening as a result of the plugs. im not sure why you are jabbering about copper core plugs i never mentioned them. the point here is that despite your claim not all of us feel that platinum plugs are a waste of time and energy. now where did i say that all of you did oh thats right. i didnt. the general opinion in the group is that they do little if anything as far as performance and cost a hell of a lot more. yup you did. you claimed a general opinion. at least two of us have said otherwise and a third has given much more complete advice from a much more knowledgable postion than any of us. that opinion noted that different plugs work better for different applications including platinums. apparently the general all of us opinion of the group doesnt follow your bs. sorta said that before. told ya we could see where this was going. do feel free to spin the hell out of it..... oh wait you already did. -- 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. back to your childish bs again i see maxi. if you actually bothered to read it i did say no increase in performance and nothing about maintenance. ill repeat for the hard of understanding among you..... here comes the bs get out the boots!!!! if the gap stays more stable its performance is better over the long run. thus there is an increase in performance above non platinum tipped plugs over the long run. lol unless you also take into account that there lower resistance allows the arc to form at a lower voltage at factory settings which actually can decrease performance as demonstrated by budds brothers car as well as my own ram and if you follow the recommended maintenance schedule you would be replacing the copper core plugs way before the change in gap would have any measurable effect so once again you are still full of it. much bs snipped for brevity iow anything that proves you wrong is simply deleted. the point here is that despite your claim not all of us feel that platinum plugs are a waste of time and energy. now where did i say that all of you did oh thats right. i didnt. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving .

im having this same problem on 96 1500. ive pulled away the carpet and rubber padding that goes up behind the dash. right where the ac tray collection area goes throught the firewall there is a little trickle of water flowing down. i imagine that i can get some silicone and seal it up and it will stop any thoughts hello i have a 2002 dodge 3500 4x4 ctd. i live in florida and run the ac in it all the time. a few months ago i noticed that the carpet on the passenger side was soaking wet. i thought it was because i had the left the window opened and it rained. so i opened the door parked it in the full sun to dry it out and didnt think anymore about it. then it happened again and it is getting worse. i assume that its the ac leaking but cannot see where it is coming from. is there some filter or tube that i need to clean how best to do that another question i never really liked carpet in a truck. i would just as soon have vinyl. when i lifted the carpet up the underlying vinyl / rubber floor looked good to me. is the vinyl / rubber that is underneath the carpet what you would have if you bought a truck without carpet anybody see any issues if i just take all the carpet out my buddy has a 2003 ctd 4x4 3500 without carpeting. his floor looks a little different then what i have underneath the carpet but it could be because his truck has the newer body style. thanks for the tips. cj == .
