how much oil do you believe are in the reserves anyways 654 million barrels. since the usa uses 19.5 million barrels a day for everything the small amount released from the strategic reserves just might drop the price at the pump a half cent per gallon or so. there are hundreds of ships still on the high seas loaded with crude that havent even reached port yet but their cargo continues to gain in value because of market speculation. .

this time they have replied that my truck has 175 bhp and 230 lb-ft of good grief... thats the specs. for the 6-cylinder gas engine the 3.9l v6. guess they dont do much with diesels at that dealership huh rest assured if you have an auto trans your engine came stock with 180hp and 420lb.ft. of torque .

wrote i had only high speed and when selecting a slower speed the fan would stop and also thurn off the ac pump.i found a circuit card where i expected to find a card with resisters.cannot tell if it good or bad.after putting it back in i now have no fan at all but the ac pump will stay on 2001 dodge dakota club cab/v6 help hmmm i believe the rheostat is in the fan switch itself. perhaps your fan died. it shouldnt be too hard to check. hi lance i felt the card i found in the heater plenium was the culpritespecially after messing with it and then loosing all fan speeds so this morning i got a new card from my dodge dealer pn.5174618aa $15.26 and installed it.everything works again. thanks mw -- posted using the http//www.autoforumz.com interface at authors request articles individually checked for conformance to usenet standards topic url http//www.autoforumz.com/dodge-2001-dakota-fan-speeds-ftopict135682.html visit topic url to contact author reg. reqd. report abuse http//www.autoforumz.com/eform.phpp=659683 .

no. that product isnt listed in there. from what ive read and heard by people k&n kool blue and other similar filters are genuine products that do produce results. ive seen k&n filters used on horsepower tv spike tv saturdays & sundays and theyve gotten good results. one of the products mentioned in the article is the tornadofuelsaver. ive seen this advertised on tv in infomercials. people claim it does great things but this article tells the truth. i really cant believe the bums and crooks who are ripping people off with these products. j wrote theres an interesting even hilarious article in the sept. 2005 issue of popular mechanics that shows these devices that claim to increase mileage in your auto are nothing more than junk. some of them even do damage to the vehicle. all of them either showed no improvement or even performance degredation and one set fire to the engine. the article is really great. i highly recommend everyone to go the bookstore or library and check it out. k$n air filter at the top of the list .

denny yeah i know. there have been some large dry areas in the u.s. we had a real dry one in 2002. wheat went 11 bus per acre. this year june was nice and wet. towards end of july and beginning of aug we needed rain. tips of wheat heads dried out. then we got 1 a couple of weeks ago. helped to finish up my canola and the wheat. then last wed we had another 1 of rain. fifty miles west of here at maidstone clouds opened up they got 5 of rain. crops look good here. last year around aug 17 we had a bad frost. a lot of crops got froze. fifty bushel wheat crops were down graded to feed wheat. dale denny wddodge@woh.rr.com wrote 4wrqe.51354$2q3.37878@tornado.ohiordc.rr.com denny wddodge@woh.rr.com wrote what happen to this dodge truck group i been gone a few months and i see none or dont see any of the old timers jump right in answering questions. used to be a guy could post a question and three or four of the old farts would jump in the old farts are being very careful while sitting on their heated seats for fear of an unintensional ignition problem... giving advice sometimes slightly disagreeing but always quick to help. now i see questions going unanswered. too bad this *was* a good group at one time. yeah i know dont let the door hit me in the ass. dont worry i wont. but for anyone else that would care to give me a civil answer i would appreciate it. thanks. what happen to the good ole boys most are still around here but dont post as much. myself i just get tired of somebody saying this isnt rocket science while they give a wrong answer and then argue about it for a couple of days. denny and that pink bunny suit was getting boring dale shut up dale... vbfg you get much rain up that way this summer we had a damned dry one around here. denny .

just got a motorhome with the 1 ton ram chassis. we will be close to gvwr 11000 with the chassis and towing an additional 5000 lbs of boat. we will be putting a lot of miles traveling the country. we have 15k miles on it right now... question will the stock trans cooler be sufficient and if not which would be the better choice - a second cooler probably not in any significant airflow or a fan on the stock cooler pushing from the front. other constructive! thoughts appreciated... don .
