Q: speaking of spark plugs i just came across a picture of the v10 under the hood. how on earth do you change the plugs! i do not see how you can get to most the spark plugs on the ram v10 what about reliability i have heard that the v-10 is not very reliable. is this true dont tell this to either of my v10s 95 with 105k mixed driving 98 with 38k of abusive-type driving. early v10s had some faulty intake manifold gaskets later v10s had some head porousity problems. both problems affected a relatively small number of engines. you want to see reliability problems go talk to a gm guy with the 6.1l or 8.1l vortecs... ask em how their pistons are doing or talk to the ford v10 guys wait for em to catch up... that engines a might slow if theyve managed to find all the spark plugs their engines have jettisoned or... if you really want to hear about it ask a 6.0l powerstroke driver darn near anything about his engine. be prepared for some cussin... .

tbone wrote oh please jerry dont give me the standard bs conservative reply. i never said anything negative or degrading about the national guard but many americans did join it at the time so they would not have to viet nam including our president. the real difference is that most of the others fufilled their obligations and duty and didnt bail out early on daddys money and influence. that says plenty about his character and yours for thinking this is ok. bull shit now your back peddling like the weasel little moron you are. oh really jerry show me exactly where i did. oh thats right you cant. no one argued that some did indeed join the guard or reserves thinking the chance was less for not going to nam. now again what is your source that stated bush joined the guard to get out of nam http//www.awolbush.com/ why did he have to get into the guard so bad that daddy had to help him get in. the air force was looking for people at the time if he just wanted to be a pilot. oh thats right then he might actually put himself at risk. ............... thats right you dont have any do you and dont give me your usual spin bs with no support. once again you speak out of your ass. btw if he is as great as you claim why doesnt he make his great military record public perhaps because it will show him for the man he really is and that is far worse than anything clinton was. you did however call him a deserter which is moronic even for a one cell brain fart like yourself. look up the definition of desertion buttwipe. bush was awol for a year and by definition 30 days or more of awol becomes desertion but when you got the money and influence these little things like desertion just seem to disappear. get over it jerry you and those like you elected a deserting coward as our president. a man afraid to go to combat himself but has no problem putting our men and women in harms way under false reasons as long as the money is there but you are so far to the right you will never see it never mind admit to it. then again it just may be that you are an idiot but it is probably a combination of both now gfy. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving .

good point! could end up throwing good money after bad. this deal is to screwed up. sounds like woever had the paper laid it off to whoever in nev. probably at a real high interest rate so they probably will be real slow in processing things. roy what i cant figure out is why in gods name youd ever buy a vehicle you didnt drive first short of an aston martin vanquish or something. makes absolutely no sense. i would wager this is a too good to be true kind of deal. .

the republican party is now what the democrats were 40 years ago. the democrats are now nothing more than a socialist party. if you dont think so then simply do some reading of history that you always like to claim you know so well. if i were to look up the history of democrats and republicans it woud confound you as to how many tiems the two have swapped positions. but go figure they are politicians. go on about your fact devoid is that better rants. max anvils dont kill cartoon characters cartoon characters kill cartoon characters. .

shearer331@earthlink.net posted here is the situation i have a 98 4 cylinder dakota. actually my wife does. well i go to check the oil the other day and find oil on the underside of the hood and all over the passenger side of the engine. i check the oil and find nothing but a chocolate milkshake substance all the way up to the dipstick opening. first thought was blown headgasket but i have no clue how that would happen. the truck has never overheated no detrimental running issues no smoking the coolant is perfect. someone told me to watch out for a cracked head but they dont just crack for no reason. any clues. i dont have the time to tear this motor apart 2 car-2 job family. any one hear of this happening or care to shed some light here thanks ken it *might* not be as grim as youre imagining. i had the same thing happen to a older camaro. changed oil and would turn to a tan froth pdq. first thought i had was plugged pcv valve but no such luck. hose connected and blew clear. compression and rad. pressure test ok. eventually found the underside of the pcv hose had become gooey-soft and was collapsing like a letter c under the slightest vacuum. new hose one more oil change and everything was back to normal. .
