thanks tom do yo have any knowledge of detroit lockers / trutrac from what i understand it is easier to steer when 4x4 is engaged. if youre looking for steering ability and running decent speeds in 4wd ie. fire roads - not rock crawling then dennys right - you should look into an air or electric locker that way you can engage it only when you need it. anything else will cause understeer. a full locker such as a detroit will cause the truck to plow moreso than an lsd. lets back up... why do you want a locker in the front to begin with .

im having a problem with my local dodge dealer. its tucson dodge if anyone is interested. called them and asked if there was a tsb on my truck about the fuel mileage. they asked for the vin number and i gave it to them. they said no tsbs on that truck. people keep telling me there is. so i called again same answer. someone on the mml emailed me a link to thishttp//dodgeram.info/tsb/2004/18-037-04.htm so i called the dealer back and asked why i was not told about this and had to do my own investigating to find it. they gave me the run around and im a tad upset about it. they actually told my this procedure may reduce the fuel mileage. how can i find out what the truth is and how can narrow down my searches to find tsbs for this truck and is this worth doing http//dodgeram.info/tsb/2004/18-004-04.htm al al this tsb you reference will do nothing to help your fuel economy so the dealer wasnt giving you the run around. it addresses exactly what it says it does. as a disinterested third party i would be happy to check for applicable tsbs and advise you accordingly. just email me with your vin and i will check for you . what kind of fuel economy are you experiencing city highway laden/unladen any mo

my 86 d100 had the slant in it and when i sold it it had 300k on to my knoledge the original motor. dude that bought it passed me on the highway the other day. still driving it and still with a grin on his face. -chris ah he finally got it broken in. darn near as bad as a cummins on break-in. i got worried for no reason of course about my first /6 so i overhauled it at 166000 miles. it had been a well maintained car owned by a vacuum cleaner salesman and when i miked the journals there was less than 1/2 of 1/1000 of an inch wear. bore didnt even have a ridge so i honed them popped in new rings bearings timing set and a rebuiilt milled head 0.090. then i installed a low restriction exhaust and rejetted the carb the big bbs single and started kicking some 2 barrel v-8 butt. budd yea we loved the truck and had not a minutes problem out of the engine. but we needed something a little bigger and more family friendly so we sold it and bought the 99 v10 what a differnce in mileage. .

i have to disagree...granted they made some mistakes but i dont think it was a matter of them beating themselves. theyve had a good run at their times at the bowl so not knocking them on that part...but its time for others to enjoy the ride. laz when ya hand the ball to the other team numerous times and they score ya beat yourself. it is what it is. they will be back next year. i honestly think that a number of them have not recovered totally from their injuries. no way an excuse just my take on it. one other thing i thought a little odd. given the elevation i would have thought the pats would have gone out there a little earlier in the week my wife saw a couple of them in a mall thurs. night. maybe the thin air is a myth. roy ------------------------------------------ laszlo almasi cool toys formerly carolina watercraft works ice angels on sat 14 jan 2006 155225 -0500 roy roy@home.net wrote game time is 8pm est. denny larry any of you non- believers want to jump on the pat

interesting experience. i was at a gas station getting ready to fill up the companys dodge durango - 4.7l version. everytime we fill the tank were required to record the mileage for our expense reports. the milege gets written on the receipt. so i pull into the space shift into park whip out my trusty wal-mart brand ledger and start jotting down the mileage. the engine is running and i hear a thunk and the vehicle jolts backwards. i hit the brake and all is well. no big deal since i only moved maybe two feet. that little indicent got me into the habbit of putting the parking brake on at all times on every vehicle i drive including my own acura - which is something we should be doing anyway. is this something that happens on durangos we used to have two chrysler vans and another person report the same thing happened to him. how do durangos generally hold up over the years i was looking into getting one for the winters. just a thought. .

jason purcell wrote what causes a trailer to fishtail i was towing a trailer with 2 ric of firewood home the other day and i couldnt go above 55 miles per hour the trailer was weaving back and forth so much... i have a dakota quad cab 4.7 4wd 3.55 axle 2001 and a 5x10 flatbed trailer with 13 tires. what did i do wrong j. i heated with wood for around 20 years and have hauled my share. it starts out weighing somewhere over 3000 pounds after you cut and load it. but by the time you haul it home it will have gained at least 100% more weight depending on how far it is to the wood pile. i think that damed stuff soaks up all the energy out of your back and arms gaining weight in leaps and bounds. i had a camper one time that had the fresh water tank at the back under the bed. after i loaded the trailer the way i wanted it towing was nice and stable until i would get close to the destination. you see i was smart enough to know that water weighed a considerable amount and there was no need to haul it all the way across country. but when i made my water stop and filled the tank it made the trailer lighter on the tung and would fish tail after you got up around 45 or 50. i would think his trailer was a toy hauler type with the single axle near the center as they sometimes are. if he loaded it evenly it would

kinda depends on your definition of problem. any type of limited slip diff in the front will make it a challenge to turn. the truck has a tendency to keep going straight even with the wheels turned. right - in 4wd. in 2wd there wont be any problems because of the cad. the drivers side tire will spin the while diff and the front driveshaft along with it but the passenger side wheel will be free to turn at its own speed. yep i was assuming 4wd cause you wouldnt need limited slip in the front end ifn you was using 2wd. g denny .
