Charging problems

Q: two rics make a cord and depending on wood type and moisture content the wood could weigh 3000 to 4000lb or more and through in trailer weight and you are at two tons or better. you should think before you comment because you are the one that is really clueless here and should not be giving advise. if two rics equal a cord then the trailer was first of all grossly overloaded based upon the tire size. assuming a cord is 128 cubic feet and allowing for air space lets say that cuts it down to 100 cuubic feet of actual wood. the density of oak/hickory varies from 40-55 lbs/cubic foot so for the sake of argument lets say the average would be 45 lbs/cu ft. therefore the weight of the load would be 4500lbs plus the weight of the trailer depending on construction would be 400 lbs for a total combined weight of 4900 lbs. the highest rating for a 13 tire that i can find in a load/inflation chart is 1620 lbs x 2 for a max load of 3240 lbs. assuming the trailer is commercialy manufactured the axle rating is probably not much more that the tire rating especially since it was designed for 13 wheels. a lot of factors to consider but without having all the facts id say tongue weight is probably numero uno for the squirrelyness clos

you wouldnt tom and thats fine. motorpsychol may not and thats his call. i would find a good welding shop and find a way to install a frame mounted hitch. arent differing opinions interesting before you bunper tow price a class three hitch. he already said he cant fit a hitch because of the cng tank. .

motorpsychol@gmail.com wrote i have a 94 dodge van b3500. i believe its like the 15 passenger version. it runs off cng and i believe the tanks are too big to mount a frame hitch. so now my question is.. i want to tow several 450-500 pound motorcycles about 600 miles to bike week. whats my best configuration and how heavy of a trailer can i tow from the bumper rear seats are gone. should i load two bikes in the back or just tow and then how much weight can i expect the bumper to pull without damage/risk given the long overhang of rear end past axle it is not a good towing platform and i would limit tongue weight to about 300lbs or so and trailer to about 3000lbs max too for safty and stabilty reasons. -- ----------------- www.thesnoman.com .

i spent half the night trying to go to sleep but kept thinking about this truck. im thinking my mechanic has his head up his a**. when attempting to start and after it starts no white smoke comes from the tailpipe or anywhere else. we just put a new radiator water pump and thermostat in the truck on xmas eve and i went and had the oil changed right after that. there was no evidence of oil in the coolant and the oil change guy probably hopefully would have noticed coolant in the oil. prior to the oil change i did not see any sign of water in the oil when checking the oil level. also i would think that a blown head gasket would be blown in certain area and might possibly contaminate one ormaybe two cylinders. i would think that the gasket would have to be disintegrated to cause enough fluid to accumulate to cause the hard starting. the mechanic said they did a test and it showed that a gasket had a problem. maybe it does but im thinking this is not the problem. im still thinking that this is a fuel or ignition problem. when trying to start the car i can detect a slight gasoline smell under the hood. ive replaced the coil. it couldnt be the rest of the ignition because once the car gets started it runs ok. opinions on 2006-01-03 225801 -0600 tom lawrence tnloaswpraemnmcien5g@earthlink.net said thnaks for the replys guys. i had the truck towed to my local shop and theyre telling me the things has a blown head gasket and that the coolant is dripping down into the plugs. then you failed to mention the white smoke that pours out of the tailpipe... this engine has 185000 miles on it. the mechanic is telling me that we need to put a whole new engine in the thing before the engine totally craps out. given that its probably been like this for a while coolant has mixed in with the oil and probably did a number on the bearings... combined with the high mileage of the engine id say a rebuild isnt a bad idea. i cant afford that and am wondering whether it would be worth replacing the head gaskets and possibly having the heads milled and the valves ground. no need to mill the heads unless it overheated and they warped. no real need to grind the valves either though with the heads off it wouldnt be a bad idea to have the heads freshened up. you can do that for now and when the time comes buy a remand short block engine block and rotating assembly only - no heads. at least that way the money you put into the heads now wont go to waste. .
