Q: you fools are just too much! not only does snojob give out deadly advise that will get people killed of they follow it on a bunch of groups i have had the misfortune of the fucker stalking me on he now has total bullshit back up! he/it just must love the abuse for his bs there can be no other reason for a sane person posting. read the original post!!!! to quote on startup ammeter needle swings from full charge to midrange. loud squealing when ammeter needle swings to full charge. end quote. the op has a squeal on start up not a whine when running! mike 86/00 cj7 laredo 33x9.5 bfg muds glass nose to tail in 00 88 cherokee 235 bfg ats - gone to the rust pile... canadian off road trips photos non members can still view! jan/06 http//www.imagestation.com/album/pictures.htmlid=2115147590 more off road album links at bottom of the view page wonderbreath wrote and again from a third source confirms this whining a whining noise can be caused by shorted diodes or stator or by a dry rotor bearing. a quick way to test for the cause of a whining sound is to disconnect the wiring to the generator. then start and run the engine. if the noise is not there the cause of the noise is a magnetic whine due to shorted diodes or stator windings. use a scope to verify the condition of the diodes and stator. if the noise remains the cause is mechanical and probably due to worn bearings. dont have the url handy its from the autozone site 4ax.com on 5 aug 2007 164302 +0200 wonderbreath wonderbreath@madeup.org wrote he explained that when a diode fails the unbalance in the alternator magnetic circuit causes the whine. about 6 months later the alternator had to be replaced and of course the noise was gone. this is true usually in the form of a loud whine that varies with rpm. alternators are 3 phase delta wound and have 6 output diodes for full wave rectification of each phase. when you loose one output will drop some. if you have access to a scope you can find/verify a bad output diodes in a flash ----------------- thesnoman.com .

gordg wrote long time lurker here with a question. i currently have a 1999 ram 1500 with a 5.2 2 wd auto 150 k kilometers 93 k miles basic truck with air and cruise. im pulling a 4800 pd. dry weight travel trailer and finding its really underpowered for hills and windy conditions. i have a line on a 1999 ram 1500 with a 5.9 4x4 auto 120 k km with air cruise etc. assuming the standard gear ratios are the same can i expect to see a relatively favourable increase in towing capability both trucks are in very good condition. the 5.9 is slightly bigger so youll see the a slight increase in power. unless the 5.9 truck is otherwise better than what you have more options better condition its generally cheaper to increase the power of what you already have. as long as your truck has been taken care of theres still plenty of miles left in it. anytime you buy a used vehicle you could be buying somebody elses problems. -- ..bob 2006 fxdi hot rod 2001 dodge dakota qc 5.9/4x4/3.92 1966 mustang coupe - daily driver 1965 ffr cobra - 427w efi damn fast. .

i have not started to remove parts yet so i dont know if i should use the special tool or if i can use my generic set with either a shorter bolt or with the vibration dampener as a spacer in conjuction with the stock bolt. i realize that the depth of the special tool will provide a more square seating provided the depth of the hole in the timing chain cover is greater than the depth of my generic set. just remove the old seal and install the new one when the covers off. no special tools required at all. it sounds like the dodge tool is for replacing a leaking seal without removing the timing cover. well yeah if you want to do it the easy way. ; thanks for the suggestion and the link. and yes thats what the special tool is designed for. see http//www.pavementsucks.com/tech/timingchain.php for lots of good reference pics. .

on aug 6 529 pm mike simmons mike...@yhti.net wrote is there a standard for the proper sizing of an ac/hvac unit to a home meaning if you have a 1600 sq ft single story you should have if you have a 2200 sq ft two story you should have yes ashrae has standards based upon several factors. some of the factors are 1. insulation value of the building 2. max/min ambient temps 3. max humidity 4. sun load 5. household heat load 6. desired air changes per hour 7. square/cubic footage bigger aint necessarily better when it comes to hvac. mike you have a link that i can look at correct i know bigger is not better in this case but too small is not good either. .

i just bought an 89 dodge ram g250 extended van. it runs great and aside from a little rust on the door bottoms and a few other minor repairs its in excellent condition. but there is a bigger problem. on the passenger side the front section of the frame is all rusted leaving little metal left. the rust starts at the coil spring and goes up to the front bumper. because of this deteriorated frame the front torsion bar is no longer attached to anything and bangs around all the time. i fear that the coil spring will soon break away if i dont repair this. the problem is how i can weld but making something fit in there is beyond me. the frame is fine from the rear of that coil spring to the back and on the drivers side. i just need this 3 foot section. aside from finding a junk yard that has the part is there any place where i can order new frame sections i assume the body shops must have a place where they can get things like this but where does anyone know try a frame shop. there are usually shops that specialize in those areas all over the country. replacing one side of the front would be tough to get right. most do a sub-frame replacement from about the firewall area forward. it is done safely all the time especially after accidents or customization. it is something you would not want to get into yourself unless you have all the jigs and equipment to do it right. ed .

azwiley1 wrote ok so let me ask this if i were to replace the current ac unit with something larger 4 ton vice 3 ton and with a higher seer rating what brands would you recommend and why carrier or trane. easier to find qualified techs as well as parts when needed. my family was in the a/c business for many years until retirement and those brands became the standard. .

marksegal@optonline.net wrote it is an automatic so no clutch. its the same type of smell though. another thing that i notice is the heavier the payload the less travel i have on the brake pedal. i dont know if that is a safety feature reduction of brake time/making the brakes more sensitive. thanks! hmmm thats a tough one. no built in safety feature like that. the only real differance between empty and loaded is the height of the suspension. check and see of a line is pinched doubtfull. also check the emergency brake cables. see if they are getting stretched when loaded. that would activate the parking brake. -- ..bob 2006 fxdi hot rod 2001 dodge dakota qc 5.9/4x4/3.92 1966 mustang coupe - daily driver 1965 ffr cobra - 427w efi damn fast. .
