Q: on tue 17 feb 2004 171047 -0500 bret chase nunya@business.net wrote snip | - i dont have a torque wrench but i can sufficiently tighten a bolt |or nut by feel with no problems. is a torque wrench a life-or-death |requirement to do this im thinking in particular of | |....the pinion shaft retaining bolt |....the differential cover bolts |....the bolts holding on the disc brake calipers go buy or rent one. over torqueing the diffcover will make it leak overtorquing the crosspin retaining bolt can cause it to snap the torque for them is suprisingly low. the bolts for the calipers usually only need in the 30ftlbs range but theyre not nearly as sensative to overtorquing. -bret also when youre doing a job like this yourself is a great time to pick up a tool or 2 for the collection... you can justify it by the savings on labor know that your job will be torqued to spec and youll have the tool for future jobs.. mac .

does anyone know what this is all about... i have ordered a 2004 durango limited about 2 1/2 month back it was produced on the 20th of feb friday bad luck as they say and was expecting delivery soon. the dealer called me and told me that it was not shipped and moved to a storage area with a rs code. what is this about thought some of the experienced folks here might know. i do also have a ref # as well. is this that it failed or damaged or missing some items thanks in advance john x-- 100 proof - http//www.100proof.com x-- 3500+ binary groups and over 90000 other groups x-- access to over 1 terabyte per day - $8.95/month x-- unlimited download .

on mon 23 feb 2004 230358 gmt roy roy@home.net wrote man you must be really bored. resorting to sophomoric name calling is not something i ever thought id see roy fall to. another victory roy. boy when you fall you really do fall hard. i wonder why that is. i have to agree with you here. it is funny to see that the all perfect roy can fall to levels below even what he accuses me of doing. not falling anywhere just responding to some of your and the pussys bs. i think it was the fat remark that set him off tbone. looking over the thread it was when i called him fat that he went off and blew a goiter. hey sorry roy i mean sorry being fat bothers you. look on the good side you can change it just push yourself away from the table now and then. bfg that makes it all ok doesnt it. .

establishing new laws means nothing if you dont have the ability or personnel to enforce them. and hiring the people to do that does what how about costs money!!!! now where is this money going to come from how about the general tax payer. this is the advantage of this type of idea. the ones causing and potentially causing the problem pay the bill and that is the way that it should be. i find it funny that in a group where so many claim to want the responsibility for their own actions when an idea comes up that does just that they are the first ones to jump up and down and cry unfair!!!! -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving how would i go about establishing laws limiting on-street parking or having abandoned vehicles in your yard or on the street the same way several thousand other cites have done it i guess. it is very common for cites to have ordinances regulating such things without resorting to taxing citizens who have committed no crime other than owning a second vehicle. tbone wrote and exactly how would you go about doing that .

richard benner jr wrote atf+4 unless you want to lose a friend and a transmission in the near future. if the vehicle came with atf+3 and has never been changed over to atf+4 then there is no reason not to use atf+3 in the transmission. once you change over there is no going back. my truck 1999 was sold with atf+3 in it and that is all i use. the thing mike has to be sure about is what is in the transmission right now. jerry .

on 2 mar 2004 060438 -0800 jpminich@yahoo.com ambo wrote well the pr says that the 4.7 replaces the 5.9 and gets up to 10% better mileage... i get an overall of about 12 with a 99 qq 2wd in mixed city/hiway with no towing so id expect a hemi to get maybe 1 mpg better at 75 i get about 13 - 14. i guessed that they would do the highway milage at 65. i just cant seem to get it 19mpg. as long as someone else is getting as bad as milage as i am that makes me feel better. yes i try to drive with a lite foot. mine 5.9l slowly improved as i put more mileage on it. started out at 13 highway and im now up to about 17 highway if i keep my foot off of it. out here highway speeds are 75mph or so. id imagine the highway mpg listed on the sticker is based at 65mph. ambo wrote i have a 2003 dodge 1500 quad cab regular bed 2 wheel drive with the hemi. the sticker said 14mpg city 19 highway. i do mixed driving mostly city. i average about 13mpg below the stated city mpg. even on the highway i get about 16mpg at 65mph give or take. is this on par with what others are getting mac .

ok so i found out that its just my luck that my 2003 durango is the only year that thule and yakima dont make roof racks for. i need to haul a canoe on top of my durango and im a bit leery of the cheap feel of the factory rack. it seems the whole thing is made of plastic and is held down by only four screws. i cant find much info on this on the net so im throwing it out there. questions for anyone who has an opinion 1 do you know of any decent aftermarket roof-rack that will hold a canoe mopar or otherwise for the 2003 durango and 2 do you consider the factory rack adequate to hold a canoe thanks ps question 3 is why does dodge put such a crappy rack on there i have been looking at other vehicles racks and they all seem to be better than mine. .
