punkin on aug 26 459 pm beryl terra...@coolbits.net wrote punkin ... see unlike you i do not constantly post about things i know nothing about sure you do headlight bulbs relays alternators motor oil jumper cables etc... you even work with things you know nothing about really! you really dont know shit than do you cock breath flash cock breath when you recover from a hdd crash or failure and you are starting from fresh some thing will need to be flashed for the system to work properly again. but fuck im only an it tech what the hell do i once again you just cant let shit go can you cock breath what a sorry and pitiful man you are. shame you have to continue to live life in the past. but lets see here i will play your little game this one time motor oil i was not wrong about it you could not and did not prove okay dope. the motor oil discussion again... i just bought a 2001 ram 3.9l. no owners manual. what is the reccomended oil viscosity for this time of year - kar if you want a good all season go with a 10/30 or 10/40 - punkin dont use 10w40. put 10w30 in it and read the manual when it comes. - big al why are you saying not to use 10/40 - punkin because it says in the manual not to use it. it says to use 5w30 or 10w30 depending on temperature range and specifically says not to use 10w40. at least in my manual it says that. thats why i advised him to read the his manual when he gets it. - big al because it is like the last oil grade you want to use if it is conventional. back in the 80s they thought is was the cats meow but they found out it is not and no new cars from detriot are approved for its usage and have nor been for years. it has to do with the hi vi content of oil the can cook out and gum up a modern hot running engine. grant that some 10w40 are better than other quality wise but it is best avoided use 10w30 spring summer fall and maybe 5w20 in winter if it get below zero a lot. - snoman my 2001 ram owners manual covers the 3.9l v-6 the 5.2l and 5.9l v-8s and the 8.0l v-10. page 195 says sae 10w-30 engine oil is preferred for use in all dodge trucks. theres a chart showing 10w-30 for temperatures of 0 degrees f. to beyond 100 degrees f. 5w-30 is for 32 degrees f. and below. the two viscosities overlap between 0 and 32. - beryl well i can tell you that when i lived in maryland with similar temps i ran red line or royal purple syn oil 15 or 20 w-50 in the summer and would drop to 10/40 for winters. here in az i run royal purple 20/50 all year in my truck and bike. - punkin you didnt even say which irrelevant vehicles you were talking about. all we know is that youre in arizona now with some unidentified truck and bike. youve given the op no useful information just uninformed advice. - beryl really i have not give the user any valuable information how do you figure better yet what have you provided to anyone that was useful - punkin the grades in the om are recommended that does not mean you have to use it - punkin me wrong either. it was a simple matter of the fact that you did not argee with what i said that does not mean i am wrong nor does it mean you were right. it means only that you did not agree. your advice to kar was less-than-worthless punkin. jumper cables hmm show me where we had a discussion about them and where i was wrong please. there was one comment made about that a memorable one. subject. again it does not and did not make me wrong. you just wish to believe that. hell tell me this what size is the cabling in a set of jumper cables - punkin alternators. again i was not wrong about it you could not and did not prove me wrong either. it was a simple matter of the fact that you everyone agreed the ops standard alternator wouldnt be a problem. you parrotted that then recommended that he replace it anyway. i do not believe that you would have a problem with this as long as the factory alt is not bad to begin with. - punkin so whats your advice do you recommend that he go ahead and replace his - beryl yes that is my recommendation - punkin did not argee with what i said that does not mean i am wrong nor does it mean you were right. it means only that you did not agree. headlight bulbs really where exactly was i wrong here i very clearly remeber that the discussion was that i had better success with a specific bulb than another person did. again a matter of fyi white or blue light is brighter then yellow - punkin disagreement not a matter of me being wrong. but again this is what you choose to see and believe. i never disputed that other posters claims i never stated he was wrong. so with all of this you missed relays. batteries went dead while truck was stored over the winter - fred check for an open relay - punkin one again i will ask the oh so simple question. other
