Adding Lubricity to Diesel Fuel

From : charles

Q: tafmanian devil via carkb.com wrote definitely an easy question for you guys. i have an 03 1500 4.7 is there is a certain mileage when i should get the transmission fluid changed depends on what you use your truck for. i tow during the summer months. i change mine every 15000 miles. cheap insurance against a failure. also about that time to get new tires any suggestions the gs-as that came with the truck only made it 45k and expensive. gs-as imho are junk. way too soft sidewalls for a heavy truck. there are numerous good choices but i have had great luck with michelin ltx m/s or a/ts not a/s which are lousy. .

tbone wrote lol no they just want to balance the budget without screwing the majority of americans something the reps have long forgotten how to do. middle class tax rates were considerably higher under clinton than they are now. and this has what to do with what lets see some numbers. the point is that he did not make unrealistic tax cuts that we cannot afford which results in massive cuts of needed services causing a substantial increase in the cost of living to those who can afford it the least. besides raising rates will not automatically result in higher revenues but you seem to not understand that concept. lol! tax cuts for the rich dont either. actually lol it was on the yesterday that the huge gains in tax revenue were from the amnesty and active prosecution of tax invaders to the tune of around 40 billion and not from the crap you spew out about the cuts doing it. lol and what exactly is your definition of conservative. sorry miles he is very much a full blown conservative. bush a conservative rofl!!! oh now thats funny. all for the rich screw everyone else pretty much like you yea.... he is a conservative alright. that is because they are party members. if you want someone to act as an individual elect an independant but people like you would never do that. you mean like lieberman oh wait he said hed caucus with the democrats. so much for being independent. lieberman ran as an independant because the idiots in the democratic party ran someone else and did it because he did vote as an individual so yes miles he is an excelent example. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving .

of course not. the computer is telling you that it is losing communication with the pcm. it isnt telling you the plugs you are messing with are the fault. it doesnt know that. it could be the cable itself or even the connector on the other end of the cable. you have to determine the rest. if you are at a loss bring it to a dealer. steve ok let me follow this up a little. *if* i lube the hell out of it with grease and silicon it and im still seeing the same problem - can anyone say thats probably the pcm then or you should replace the harness or anything to guide me further thanks elijah elijahs@gmail.com wrote tom lawrence wrote intermittent engine + guage failure; odometer reads no bus. the fix is i go and press on each of the three pcm connectors and at some point the whole thing comes back to life. there was a recall on 03 rams to add o-rings to the pcm connectors - you may want to check and see if anything similar was released for the durangos. even if not id put a bit of dielectric grease across all the pins and might even go so far as to run a tiny bead of silicone around the outside of the plugs where they meet with the receptacles to try and seal out any moisture. ooooh - dielectric grease! i like that idea. we live in an *extremely* humid climate - the wet side of the big island of hawaii. 180+ inches a year of rain in places and continual heat and moisture. like i said the connectors *looked* good - but anything to keep the connections good in there. the connections are *right* under the place where the lid comes over the fenders a prime place for water to splash in. thanks for the ideas! .
