MPG and my .22-50WTF

From : mopartee

Q: the forgeries youve seen in your group are the product of an entity collectively known as dippy to .admin-net-abuse.email users. his attacks consists posting forgeries & cross posting to random often conflicting groups with the followup-to header set to nanae. hes also been known to do direct attacks by forging a nanae regulars email addresses in a reactive post to several random groups. because of this nanae and several regulars have become flooded by these what the f***! posts none of which are as easily filtered out as the tens of thousands of the sporgeries a day we usually get from this little slimer. if you reply to any of these posts youre just adding to this distributed attack on our group http//groups.google.com/groupsnum=50&hl=en&lr=&safe=off&q=hipcrime&btng=search no response to these forgeries is the best response; we do not want to see them and were more then capable of filter out this dip slime in our own group. so if you must respond to any of the posts please be kind and only reply to the group you read it from. thank you. this has been a semi-automated reply... post #578 -- the tech zero maxx pollare - traveling without moving... .

i hate to seem so naive but im relatively new to these discussion rooms; could anyone tell me what those postings are with all the nonsensical phrases and adjectives regarding moammar and etc. who writes/reads it and why i posted a similar question a little while ago in another room and nobody responded even to just say they dont know. .

hello i have a 98 dakota with a 318 automatic in cold weather it has a problem shifting from second into third. after the engine heats up the problem goes away. i remember reading about similar problems on this group a few years ago but i dont recall the fix. could it be as simple as changing the transmission fluid or is it possibly a sensor problem thanks for any help. je it riles them to believe that you perceive the web they weave the moody blues .

hello i own a 1996 ram 2500 v8. this is my first truck and i think its awesome! i want to make sure its running great so i dont mind putting some money into it to make it run better! i just drove the truck 200 miles ski trip i averaged between 70 miles an hour with some stop and go driving in one small town and some mountain driving small mountain. from what ive read i thought my truck would get 14-16 on the highway. the problem is that i only averaged 10 mpg. i know im not driving a compact car but i thought my highway mileage might be a little higher. does 10 mpg seem a little low i think there might be a problem already checked the tire pressure it was good im going to 1 check/change the fan clutch 2 change the spark plugs and wires 3 check the u-joints i do hear something 4 check the calipers anything else to check the truck does have wide mud type lets just say they arent street tires on it could that also effect highway mileage also is there an electric fan modification for this engine i would say that your tires are a big part of it especially at 70 mph. mine 97 1500 can get around 16 highway with the 5 speed highway but that is the best that it can do and it is usually a little less. since your truck is a 2500 it probably has the 360 and it does weigh more than mine so i would expect it to get a little less right off of the top and with those tires... it would not be a bad idea to check the things you mentioned above just for the sake of maintenance alone. you can put electric fans on just about anything but if you are doing it to increase mileage i dont think that you will see any measurable improvement and certainly not enough for them to pay for themselves. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving .
