hey how about get into some kind of sect that has total immunity from everything. get into a group thats got total political correct. so you can claim offended by everything you dont like. that is a core teaching of buddism. buddist might do it. never know.... -- christopher a. young you cant shout down a troll. you have to starve them. . okay to keep peace in the flock and to appease some of the members who made valid points for a change. mainly keeping my young ass out of trouble real or imagined i am converting from pussy to drum roll please... buddism!!!!! thats right buddism. it has its perks that we can all use equally. if somebody disagrees with you ya can call him a bigot or accuse him/her of bashing. you can accuse them of all sorts hate crimes threaten them with all kinds of violations to the bill of rights the constitution you name its covered. most importantly you can live your life in a state of total denial. you automatically become correct in every thing you say every hair brained idea or thought you have becomes gospel. you can say things to piss others off and it doesnt matter because you have embraced buddism. the one big difference of this sect of buddism is your friends are still your friends. im sure others will start their own sect of buddism thats wonderful cause there is a bunch of people in this world that havent been pissed off yet by budddism. oh one other thing. this sect of buddism does not require you to become totally blind or give up your political beliefs or surrender your common sense. so i figure miles and t-bone can join with no problem at all. .

no your motor develops 325 ft lbs of torque at 4000 rpm. the ctd developes in excess of 500 ft lbs at 2800 but more importantly 400 ft lbs at slightly past idle speed.theres the rub. the 05 developes 610 ft lbs. the transmission deals with it fine. roy steve i have a 98 ram 1500 5.9l v8. am i to expect some crisis down the road in my auto-transmission .

nope. thats just what i was talking about. you all liked me better before i got religion as you put it. budd where the hell did i say you had to deny anything no where that is what your twisted mind wants to see. what i said was simple to understand hell my 10 year old son could even follow it was that if you respected a friendship you would stop forcing your god damned religion on people who ask you to. then you want me to deny what i believe become the old budd. how about you go back to the budd of say a year or so ago. or the one ya were before ya started posting all the stuff. -- posted via a free usenet account from http//www.tera.com .

suddenly without warning roy exclaimed 09-jan-07 314 am this is something i know nothing aboutalong with a ton of other things. anyway the charger has it. i have to get a cell phone that has it as well. thats as far as i go. what do ya have to do to operate them do they kinda initialize themselves like a key fob i have a month or two to get this understood. tia roy whats the chargers bluetooth for built-in handsfree for the cell but yea follow the instructions probably for the phones bluetooth youll have to turn it on and get the two to talk to each other. once they recognize each other youre golden. i think. but something to remember about bluetooth if your phone has it on and youre carrying it around - in a crowd perhaps - itll likely connect to any other bluetooth device around. this is how cellphones get viruses. so remember to turn bluetooth off when not using it. i got a bluetooth headset but never really use it so the above is about my total experience with the technology. jmc .

i have noticed the high number of automatic transmission troubles on this and other groups yes - automatic due to their nature are more prone to wear. this isnt . type automatic gearboxes fail. only truck automatics in the same class as the big allison 6 speed will be reliable over time in this application and they are expensive and are not offered. max - hows your puny 47re doing behind your cummins 6+ years and still going right so why do so many ctd owners insist on automatic gears when this observation is so easy for anyone to make suvs are known to suck up more gas than econo-boxes. why would anyone choose to drive such a huge vehicle clutch on my ctd is a 13 in seriously heavy duty unit and it is very easy to trash this clutch with just a little abuse. perhaps you ctd owners with automatics could satisfy my curiosity by explaining your rational for making that choice. for me personally the convenience of the auto - the better performance especially with a turbocharged vehicle - the ability to upgrade it and put more power through it than a manual you can upgrade your clutch all you like - the gearbox is still only rated for a certain torque input then gears start to shear. even the late model gears are simply not up to the task. says who the 48re has been extremely reliable i believe dodge and ford are about neck and neck when it comes to number of failures during the warranty period with chevy a distant 3rd. the 68rfe will be even more reliable since its designed from the ground-up with two overdrive gears the 4xrh/es od was an after-thought and suffered as such. these trucks have 1000000 mile motors and 100000 mile gears. well 350k at best before an overhaul good for two overhauls. why cant you give the transmission the same allowance treated properly a modern automatic can easily go 200k before an overhaul and as others have pointed out a very small percentage of people will keep a vehicle over 200k - let alone 1m not saying there arent the rare exceptions - but thats just it... rare. notice the new trend in diesel-powered trucks the one where the manufacturers are de-tuning the engine output when mated to manual transmissions chevys doing it - dodge will be doing it this month and fords right behind when their new engine. .
