i work on the trans-alaska pipeline and a couple of years ago there was a picture circulated of a moose hit by a company vehicle 1-ton chevy crew cab or suburban...couldnt tell which from the picture. the moose was virtually decapitated and its head was lying on the dash of the vehicle! pretty spooky picture! hope everything turns out well for you... jay stephen ive heard that volvo tests for moose strikes too. when the first lh bodies came out circa 93 i heard stories that because of the profile of the body and during the braking nosedive a deer could be forced up the hood and through the windshield. i have not witnessed this personally but since momma has an lh it has always been of some concern. mike roy wrote glad to see that you are okay. there have been numerous problems with deer ill chime in on congrats for your survival. i suppose the new ram gets one new victory mark on the door for this encounter around here. moose further north have been coming through the windshield when hit. interesting story ive heard about saabs. dont know if its true but still a cool story. saab tests for moose actually caribou or reindeer i think hits which are apparently common in sweden. moose and caribou both have very long legs so the idea is in event of a collision the front end of the car is designed to allow the beast to slide up over the hood and windshield and over the car rather than through it! they have some sort of test dummy reindeer/moose/caribou that they test the vehicle with. hey like i said a great story no matter its truth! smh .

just how loud is a clogged or broken catsometimes i can drive my truck around and its fine other times you car hear something from the cat and its loud. even with the doors shut with the radio on you can hear it. but its not all the time. i can drive for days without a sound then i hear it all the way to work then gone again then back for a little bit then gone. its hard to diagnose or have the dealer replace the cat if its intermittent like that... any ideas 99 dakota sport 5.2 4x4 3.55 gears auto stock size tires. k&n fipk 10.8 mpg with mostly freeways new copper plugs cap rotor o2 sensor air cleaner belt synthetic oil trans service cleaned intake. trey i have a 99 dak sport and have had to have the cat replaced twice. they are notorious for going bad. also it is done by the dealer as part of the emissions warranty which is good up to 80000 miles. so get in there and have them swap it out. by the way my gas mileage now after my last cat swap out about 2 months ago is better then it has ever been. i am getting about 370 miles a tank. er .

well i got tired of watching it inch up .1 at a time. about 90 miles into the return trip i gassed it up reset the mileage meter and did 60-65 mhp for 245 miles to see what i could wring out of it. the end result was a reading of 20.6 mpg. from the look of the gas gauge its really pretty close to that. ill know exactly what it figures to when i gas it up tomorrow. man it was hard to keep my foot out of it that long . on fri 25 jul 2003 222215 -0400 mshackleford@fuse.net wrote 2001 2wd club cab 5.2l 3.55 auto short bed i had the average up to 17.4 for a while doing a lot of highway driving. thats having never reset the mileage meter. more typical was 15.9 with 46k on it. ill never know if it could have went higher. the last i heard it was in a scrap yard in upper ny state. i got rear ended by a 18 wheeler on 401 in canada. some stupid cu&t thought it was a good place to make a u turn. 2003 2wd quad cab 5.7l 3.90 auto long bed the average is up to 14.9 without resetting the mileage meter. whats great is it went up .2 last weekend on a 800 mile trip doing 70-80 all the way including 3hrs idling in traffic & road construction. its got 9k on it and i added a fold-a-cover last weekend after the road trip. im heading out on a 600 mile trip tomorrow. well see if it goes up some more. to ice the cake the 5.2l needed 92 octane to run without pinging. im putting 87 in the 5.7l and its running great. on tue 15 jul 2003 215410 -0400 jonathan kaplan insure10nospam@nospamyahoo.com wrote today i did it! 18.85 mpg. ram 1500 2wd with 4.7l 5 speed auto. 65 mph avg and tonneau cover. it almost made the epa rating of 19. the truck is a 2003 with 4700 miles. whats everyones record its a damn poor mind that can only think of one way to spell a word. -- andrew jackson its a damn poor mind that can only think of one way to spell a word. -- andrew jackson .

budd cochran wrote and you just proved that what i said about you the other day is true. thank you jerry. but i have to ask if you cant follow your own signature line when people are looking how can you expect anyone to think youll follow it when nobody is looking budd gee budd what did you say about me the other day you really dont expect anyone on here to keep track of your blabbering stupidity do you. didnt you tell theguy to butt out when he commented about something you claimed was directed towards someone else well ......... my comment was directed to mac so now i guess i get to say butt out. anyway it has been a very hot day here and i do appreciate the humor you provide all of us even if it is moronic. jerry -- character is doing the right thing when nobody is looking. .

stopjwlbal@epixspam.net jwlbal wrote the only difference being that the 3500 has the auxiliary extra leaves just like my 2500 w/camper pkg. am i correct that the auxiliary springs are the only difference between 2500 and srw 3500s a salesman told me that the camper package is no longer available on the 2500 because the 3500srw took its place. i assume that is the only difference too. dodge has basically forced you to buy the 3500 now if you want the camper package. so long.... =9b=9b=9b=9b=9b=9b=a0eldon ; http//community.webtv.net/ejutah/acpictures http//community.webtv.net/sodakid2/allallischalmers .

not in 62 when the song came out. they were still using the sonoramic on the wedge engines john. the short rat roaster came out in 64 on the hemi. budd john kunkel wrote 1962 327 fuelie smallblock. according to the background given out about the song the sonoramic 413 was in a 62 fury. the lyrics clearly state that the stingrays opponent was a superstock dodge. the term sonoramic refers to the long over the valve cover ram manifolds used on the full sized cars. the short ram max wedge was used in the intermediate body super stock cars. john .
