Dodge or Ford
From : matt
Q: you can put me on the list for a diesel dakota. i have been looking at the vw diesels with gas at $1.80 maybe they will put a diesel into a half-ton and show ford dodge and chevy that people actually do want a diesel in a smaller truck. shoot they need to put one in the frontier too! some people like the diesel for its power some like them for their fuel economy. probably the ford. dodge is more of a show truck. looks great and all but for the hard work i would get the ford or wait for the nissan titan diesel to come out. is nissan going to have a heavy-duty truck anytime soon i thought they were sticking to competing with the 150/1500s. .

@aol.compost says... lol! how old are you ive owned many vehicles over the years both with and without anti slip and on the ones without it the right tire always lays the rubber. this is not rocket science. obviously older than you as far as my mechanical knowledge. this has been explained several times it is not always the right tire that spins on an open differential. anyone who has gotten stuck in the snow knows this by experience. and no its not rocket science its a matter of friction and which tire has less. somehow a bunch of you just dont get it. max anvils dont kill cartoon characters cartoon characters kill cartoon characters. ok ok whatever you say max. bdk .

but since the right axle tends to spin more than the left one it is still favored. lol favored whatever..... again the conditions existing determine the axle that will spin. neither axle is more prone to spinning or more affected by those conditions than the other. a mechanical contraption designed to allow a difference in axle speed with no bias built in will not favor either axle. not that im god or anything. but i think both ideas are correct. a differential is designed to not favor any side and it doesnt. true enough the wheel with less traction always spins. but torsion of the chassis leads to a general condition of one side having more downward force holding the tire to the road under heavy acceleration. so that would mean the other side would have less traction because its not being pushed down on by torsion of the chassis even though both wheels are on similar traction surfaces. but i think we all know that what ever tire is on the ice... if the other is on bare pavement.... will spin no matter what side its on providing the traction control doesnt stop it. .

i checked my brakes about 3 months ago and found my right drum was metal to metal but the left side had more than 50% of the lining left. i replaced the shoes on both sides and 1 drum . shortly after doing this it felt like the right side was applying before the left side. it has now gotten to the point that right wheel is locking up. the brakes have been adjusted 3 times and i know thats not the problem. also the brake pedal is very touchy. i think it has something to do with the abs but im not a mechanic so thats just a guess. does any body have any idea what my problem is thanks in advance for any comments. stuck wheel cylinder on the right side if you jack it up and spin the tires does the right drag more than the left .

make a lot of money fast & easy - no scam believe me seriously no scams! a lot of money maid fast and completely legal. this method really does work! this really does work and is a very easy way to make fast money. a little while back i was looking on the web for easy ways to make money and i kept thinking that all of the ways i was reading would never work and were just scams but not this one! the article that i had found said that i could make thousands of dollars easily in a matter of weeks with only an initial small payment of $6.00. i thought yeah right this must be a scam like most of the rest but like most of us i was curious so i kept reading. anyway it said that if i sent $1.00 to each of the 6 names and addresses listed at the bottom of the article that i would make great money but only if i followed the following steps. after sending the $1.00 to each person you were then instructed to rewrite the list by taking the 1st person off of the list then moving the 2nd person to the 1st spot and the 3rd person to the 2nd spot etc etc. finally you should be left with the number 6spot empty and this is where you place your name and address. after reconfiguring the list you then must post it on about 200 groups doesnt matter but the more places you post the more money you make!. there are thousands and thousands of groups from around the world so this task is easy and that was it when i was done! no catch. so after thinking it over and talking to a few people that were on the list i thought about trying it. i figured what have i got to lose except 6 stamps and $6.00 right like most of us i was a little skeptical because it seemed so easy and a i was a little worried about the legal aspects of it all. so i checked it out with the u.s. post office 1-800-725-2161 and they confirmed that it is indeed legal! after reviewing the pros and cons of the investment i decided to carry out with it. i invested the measly $6.00 and guess what... within 7days i started getting money in the mail!! i was very shocked! i figured it would end soon but the money just kept coming in. in my first week i made about $25.00. by the end of the second week i had made a total of over $1000.00! in the third week ihad over $10000.00 and its still growing. this is now my fourth week and i have made a total of just over $42000.00 and its still coming in rapidly. its certainly worth $6.00 and 6 stamps. now let me explain to you how this works and most importantly why it works. also make sure you print a copy of this article now so you can get the information off of it as you need it. step 1 get 6 separate pieces of paper and write the following on each piece of paper please put me on your mailing list. now get 6 us $1.00 bills and place one inside each of the 6 pieces of paper so the bill will not be seen through the envelope to prevent thievery. next place one paper in each of the 6 envelopes and seal them. you should now have 6 sealed envelopes each with a piece of paper stating the above phrase please put me on your mailing list your name and address and a $1.00 bill. what you are doing with this letter is creating a service. this is absolutely legal! now mail the 6 envelopes to the following addresses 1. terelle rahming nassau bahamas p.o. box ee-17369 2. gary johnson 2927 ironwood dr. nashville tn37214 3. julien r amanrich 5330 desiard street # 41 monroe la 71203 4. michael mitchell 88 mutual street toronto ontario m5b 2n3 5. joseph brown 14 mount pleasant street winchester ma 01890 6. tim johnson 1224 shakopee ave e. shakopee mn 55379 step 2 after you have mailed out your letters creating a service and making this legal take the #1 name off the list that you see above move the other names up 6 becomes 5 5 becomes 4 etc... and add your name as number 6 on the list. step 3 change anything you need to in this article but try to keep this article as close to original as possible. now post your amended article to at least 200 groups. i believe there are close to 24000 groups in usa alone. all you need is 200 but remember the more you post the more money you make! directions ---how to post to groups step 1 you do not need to re-type this entire letter to do your own posting. simply put your cursor at the beginning of this letter and drag your cursor to the bottom of this document and select copy from the edit menu. this will copy the entire letter into the computers memory. step 2 open a blank notepad file under accessories in windows and place your cursor at the top of the blank page. from the edit menu select paste. this will paste a copy of the letter into notepad so that you can add your name to the list. step 3 save your new notepad file as a .txt file. if you want to do your postings in different sittings youll always have this file to go back to. step 4 use netscape or internet explorer and try searching for various groups on

i checked the manual but it says to access the bulb through the access door. unfortunately you have to bypass all the crap in front of the access door. no problem from the passenger side though. did you look at the owners manual i thought i had the same problem with my wifes 01 tahoe. a drl went out and when i opened the hood to replace it all kinds of crap was in the way. i figured it would take me an hour or more to get to that little lamp. so...i went to that big book in the glovebox before i started tearin stuff apart. turns out that theres a *very* accessible l shaped pin that you turn and pull. the whole lens then slides out from the front. replaced the bulb put the lens in and replaced the pin. it took longer to find it in the manual than it did to replace the bulb. g did the other side at the same time. good luck. --mike anyone my wife has a 98 caravan and the drivers side turn signal bulb died. i went to go replace it thinking this was going to be a simple 2 min. job. turns out the fuse block is in front and so is another large piece attached beside the wheelwell. is there some sort of trick to getting your hand in theer to get at the turn signal. my wife tried and she has very small hands.......not even close to getting at it. any ideas .

i hate to tell you this but you just told every program in the world what your e-mail address by posting that link--they may not be able to tell what your address is from your return address but they look for xxxxx in links on well known servers. that format for a user domain has been used for twenty years on unix machines. i had the same problem that you have been having. i was getting over 500 spams a day at the account evans@cox.net. i started to get e-mails from various servers saying that this user or that user doesnt exist. evans@cox.net is an easy one to guess and many people named evans want to use an e-mail address that looks real on any application that they can find. id get rid of some spam by various methods not replying is a good one but it would always come back. id get some e-mail from subscription services where i could click on a link in the e-mail and change that persons account--bitterness is a good thing sometimes. i called a woman in irvine ca that gave her phone number which i got off of the e-mail to a wedding site and wished her good luck with her new husband. you know it scares the shit out of people if you echo back their personal information like physical address phone number etc. i was getting e-mails from people who cant figure out that there cant be spaces in e-mail addresses like jim evans@cox.net. i was getting e-mails from people just typing in the word evans. i didnt want to buy software to fix my problem and my e-mail program was taking forever to filter out all of the bs so i just changed the account. my main account was a daughter of the evans account and cox just moved it under my new address. if i were you id buy a spam software package or change your account. if you must have a web page dont point to it like you just did. use tinyurl.com or something like it. it may help. .

ok gang this discussion is going nowhere fastg. everyone is correct as far as i can see to a certain extent. let me add more food for thought. a single engine airplanes prop turns clockwise as viewed from the cockpit. when the engine is revved up for takeoff the natural tendency of the plane is to turn to the left due to the physics of the accelerating propeller and engine. this is called gyroscopic precession. there is no way around it other than giving right rudder during the take-off roll to stay on the runway. could this same phenomenon be translated to a car/truck with an engine turning in one direction i dont know which which causes all things being equal the right side to slightly twist down giving it more traction thereby giving the illusion of it being the drive wheel theres got to be more rotational force in a truck engine than a light airplane. just thinking out loud here but it makes some sense to me. --mike but since the right axle tends to spin more than the left one it is still favored. lol favored whatever..... again the conditions existing determine the axle that will spin. neither axle is more prone to spinning or more affected by those conditions than the other. a mechanical contraption designed to allow a difference in axle speed with no bias built in will not favor either axle. not that im god or anything. but i think both ideas are correct. a differential is designed to not favor any side and it doesnt. true enough the wheel with less traction always spins. but torsion of the chassis leads to a general condition of one side having more downward force holding the tire to the road under heavy acceleration. so that would mean the other side would have less traction because its not being pushed down on by torsion of the chassis even though both wheels are on similar traction surfaces. but i think we all know that what ever tire is on the ice... if the other is on bare pavement.... will spin no matter what side its on providing the traction control doesnt stop it. .
