on nov 8 101 am abby.normal back....@nospam.net wrote stop!!!! call off that bed liner insert as soon as they open! they are all crap and will ruin your paint and rust your bed underneath. the dealer installed one in my 07 dakota quad cab and after a month the paint was ruined around the entire bed on the rail tops and top of the tailgate. i ended up having a rhino squirted in and they had to come up over the rails to cover where the clear coat was rubbed off. those inserts are just crap and even look like it after a short time. the rhino squirt-in doesnt cost much more. dont do one of those do-it-yourself kites either. they are stupid looking and are not much more than wrinkled paint. youve been warned.... i had a bedliner insert for 10 years in my 97 and never had any rust problems with it. there were indeed a few places where the paint got worn down but none of it turned to rust. my rust issues were all on the trucks front bumper! .

suddenly without warning abby.normal exclaimed 11/8/2007 331 pm stop!!!! call off that bed liner insert as soon as they open! they are all crap and will ruin your paint and rust your bed underneath. the dealer installed one in my 07 dakota quad cab and after a month the paint was ruined around the entire bed on the rail tops and top of the tailgate. i ended up having a rhino squirted in and they had to come up over the rails to cover where the clear coat was rubbed off. those inserts are just crap and even look like it after a short time. the rhino squirt-in doesnt cost much more. dont do one of those do-it-yourself kites either. they are stupid looking and are not much more than wrinkled paint. youve been warned.... does anyone in here know if a 2008 dakota sxt extended cab has tie- down brackets in the front of the bed i just bought one and had it for one night and today i had to drop it off so they could fix some paint chips and install a bedliner. the bedliner theyre going to install does not have cutouts in the floor which makes me wonder if this truck has tie-downs there or not. i do recall seeing two rubber plugs in the bed floor near the front. before i left the dealer today i asked the sales guy about this and he said those are just drain plugs but im not sure he knows what hes talking about. i looked on the dodge website and found no pertinent information unfortunately. my 97 dakota had tie-down brackets recessed under the bed floor near the front and its mopar bedliner had matching cutouts - so i have to wonder about those rubber plugs in the floor of my 2008s bed. if there are tie-downs under there and my new bedliner covers them up then that aint gonna fly... so i want to try and figure this out before going back to the dealer tomorrow. thanks! dakota2112 well rhino or line-x. i had line-x put in my 2001 dakota about 5 years ago and its still awesome. it hasnt faded much at all even in this really intense desert sun we live in presently. jmc .

this guy has more bs than the idiot!!!! at least he can spell though. with the cost of crude oil hitting a new record of $100 a barrel this is something you cant pass up! this is not a scam and can save you real money. a quick down and dirty of how this works 1st - by using this product engine efficiency is gained. you will see 7% to 14% increases in your gas milage. http//www.saveongasmormpg.myffi.biz/ 2nd - no longer use the high grade of gasoline. this in itself saves quite a bit of money since 87 octane is alot cheaper than 92. once your engine is conditioned to the formula which only takes a little while you can start using the cheap gas. http//www.saveongasmormpg.myffi.biz/ 3rd - even if you do not buy my product i have prepared a special tips and secrets to saving on mpg without my product! i believe in this product so much that if you use it and follow the 23 tips i outline below you will save a fortune over the coming year! even if you do not use the product remember that following these 23 simple tips makes for a huge money saver as well! i am looking out for the rest of us because i too am tired of paying almost 4 dollars a gallon! it is ridiculous and until we can finally get off of gasoline there looks to be no end in site to the rising of oil prices! 4th - earn extra income by becoming a reseller of this fantastic product! sign up on my webpage to become a reseller. http//www.saveongasmormpg.myffi.biz/ http//www.saveongasmormpg.myffi.biz/ as promised even if you dont buy my product at least follow these helpful tips and secrets. it will help us all save in the long run! 1. anticipate use your brakes less and dont accelerate quickly. look far down the road ahead even if far means half a city block. get into position for turn-lanes smoothly and early so that you dont have to accelerate to get in front of traffic. remember that the guy who leaves the stoplight the quickest also pays more at the pump. anticipate stops or slow-downs ahead and take your foot off the gas try to coast much more than you brake. see a long train at the rr crossing ahead get your foot off the gas immediately. you can idle forward in drive for a long way without braking for 30% less fuel than sitting in drive and nearly the same fuel use as sitting in park. remember any additional distance you coast will save fuel and extend your brake-pad life. 2. minimize idling and idle smart engines only need 10 to 30 seconds for warm-up and idling your engine for more than a minute typically costs more fuel than re-starting it. so avoid the drive-thru lines at the bank and the fast-food shop instead of sitting in line park and go inside. but when you must idle with an automatic transmission put the transmission in neutral or park while youre waiting this will cut your fuel usage at idle by 15-35% depending on the vehicle. if you have a manual transmission dont use the clutch to keep from rolling back - use the brake. this will save fuel and extend your clutch life. 3. use cruise control. its proven to save fuel. but heres a secret... its not just for cruising. using the resume button on your cruise control can be a handy compromise to provide reasonable acceleration times that dont irritate drivers behind you without wasting excessive fuel. 4. overdrive and gear selection. if you have an automatic with overdrive use the overdrive. if you have a manual transmission shift early to keep engine rpms lower and be sure to use the highest gear for highway cruising. 5. slow down. as you increase speed above 60 mph wind resistance starts increasing dramatically as a percentage of total fuel consumption. estimates are that every mile over 60 mph costs you 1% in fuel economy. in other words when you speed youre paying more at the gas pump. 6. watch your tire choice. replacing your tires/wheels with wider and/or taller ones may look awesome but keep in mind that your choice could have a 1 to 3% penalty in fuel economy... or even more in extreme cases like monster truck tires/wheels. 7. carefully consider your route and the time of day traffic flow is a huge factor. for example see the picture to the right. those vehicle-following-distances are typical of traffic in many large cities. if this highway traffic is stop-and-go fuel economy will be bad. on the other extreme if the traffic is moving smoothly and fast at 60 - 80 mph then your fuel economy is going to be superb those rushing vehicles create a jet-stream of air which dramatically reduces your wind-drag losses - 10 to 30% improvements are possible. for maximum fuel economy follow a larger vehicle and use your cruise control just bump speed up/down 1 mph to adjust. also keep in mind the wind direction if theres a strong wind blowing in from the right and you drive in the right lane you get no

bill p. wrote 2003 ram 1500 qc 4x4. i bought the truck new in may of 03 and had to take it in under warranty in january of 05 to get the mode door replaced at 10k miles. the door broke and would only blow out the floor vents nothing for defrost. i just got the truck back from the dealer this evening to have the same repair done again at 21k miles. this time they told me they replaced the mode door and mode door housing as they were both broken. they gave me a one time customer satisfaction repair and only charged me 50%. cost me $250. i told them i couldnt be coming in every 2 years or 10000 miles to get this pos door replaced. having to pull the refer charge draining coolant pulling the dash to change a piece of plastic is bs. why isnt the door made of steel anyone have similar problems the a/c door on my 2004 durango broke. front a/c and heat worked fine but no a/c or heat to the rear vents. just blew ambient temp air. door cost $500 to get fixed and i was out of warranty. that was a year ago and so far so good. .
