awww cmon....us mobil oil stockholders love those guys. if theyll pay $6.00 a quart for synthetic oil imagine what theyd pay for a cubic zirconia!!! sounds like both of you need to read that plastic wrapped thingie in the glove box called the owners manual waste of time and money changing the oil when you got home and then again at 1000 miles then again at 3000 miles but considering the source no surprise when i drove my new dakota home i changed the oil and filter the next day using dino oil as specified in the owners manual. i changed again at 1000 miles. and then switched to synthetic at 3000 miles. ill start watching reality tv shows when i can vote people off the planet. .

innocent civilians murdered by us forces in their war of terror .... makes those numbers look very insignificant... i guess those 3.000 american civilians who were murdered dont count you are just miserable little son of a bitch who if your iraq buddies were in control would cut your throat and think less of it than stepping on a bug yet another ignorant response. did i say that the 2700 people who died do count. but you know what that wasnt some big biblical event it was tragic and those lives do count. but so do the lives of the innocent people who live elsewhere. im a miserable son of a bitch for simply saying that lots of other innocent people die too do you even know what your talking about do you even know what my thoughs are on the iraq war are pretty sure you dont. nope without even a though you assumed what you wanted and babbled on.. who cares this was nothing but a troll post. allow me to say this. the only innocents are the folks that wear the same uniform as you. some day we will learn there are no rules when bullets are in the air other than to keep your buddies alive at all cost. gfy roy .

im just glad i didnt rely on this group for any kind of real answer. but i knew id get a true showing of your knowledge. and if you had any kind of a brain you would realize that the dealer is trying to prevent your van from going up in flames. it is possible that o rings will workfor a while but when it fails and the van goes up in flames you are going to accuse them of defective workmanship and how come they didnt replace the fuel rail when they knew it was defective now go back to your sandbox and piss on yourself ill start watching reality tv shows when i can vote people off the planet. .

ok. i removed the trailer wiring harness. i need someone who is familiar with dodge wiring harnesses. i unhooked what i believe to be the main harness that feeds all the back lights. it was located about 8 from the drivers side frame rail. the harness plug itself is a flat pronged rectangular plug. is this not the right one the brake lights stop working with this unplugged. i go to the back taillight pull a bulb out ground the ohmmeter check the socket and there is 3 - 3.5 ohms resistance. are you removing both stop lamps if not youre reading the resistance of the other lamp yes. i will conduct the test with the other lamp removed i didnt have the right size torx last night but even still with 3.5 ohms res that circuit is consuming 50 watts a little much for 1 bulb. the cold resistance of a filament is a lot less than hot; typically by about a 2-1 ratio. according to the book an 1156 tail lamp runs 2..1 amps at 12.8 volts for a resistance just over of 6 ohms. the stop fialment in an 1157 is heavier probably runs about 4-5 ohms hot .
