Q: ok thanks! this is my first non-carbureted vehicle and im like a blind man in a forest of cactus . . . not sure which way to go cause its gonna hurt!!! -- budd if it wasnt important enough for you to take time to vote then its not important to me to listen to you whine about who won or lost. you would be able to drive it and it would hesitate thats not your problem i was merely replaying to the post that said it only goes on one way if the sensor were on backwards and broken would i even be able to drive the car let alone get 28 mpg on a trip of 1000 round trip miles the car runs good above about 1200 to 1300 rpm. -- budd if it wasnt important enough for you to take time to vote then its not important to me to listen to you whine about who won or lost. you can put the tps sensor on backwards and it wont work...meaning if you flip it around it will screw on and not give a reading this will also damage the sensor no codes but ill clean the throttle body and see what happens. we just got back from a run to phoenix to the wal-mart . . .ok just kidding. went to visit my youngest in school down there and the little bomb did real good other than a bit of surge around town. lol even surprised a few ricer wannabes bg -- budd sorry budd mike is probably out checking the temps of his heated seats... g the tps on your 3 liter is non-adjustable. it only fits on one way with no tweaking allowed. is there any other codes stored the hesitation may be a dirty throttle body which is common on the 3.0 denny mike i just found out from my son that he had the tps off my lebaron 95 3.0 when he was trying to replace the map sensor. is there a specific adjustment procedure to installing it i have slight surge at low speed and occasional hesitation. thanks! -- budd if it wasnt important enough for you to take time to vote then its not important to me to listen to you whine about who won or lost. .

tbone wrote then i guess that would be another reason for gun control huh miles. gun control rofl. you gonna go door to door and collect em all most of the guns used in these shootings are not legally registered. they are stolen. ya gun control will sure help. sigh. lol that was a joke miles. california is on the opposite side of the country but yes i have driven on its roads a few times. they are really no worse than jersey except for the gun issue i guess its a costal thing. joisey freeways are no comparison to the la freeways. nowhere else in ca is anything like the la area not even sf which also had bad problems but still no comparison. every city has its bad gridlock areas during certain hours. la is gridlocked at any given time of day or night weekends etc. not just for a few stretches. more like 50 mile stretches on dozens of freeways at the same time. i was talking about the general attitude of the drivers not specific roads and i dont recall yu talking about la specifically. as for traffic jams the parkway has earned its name and continues to get worse as more and more people move to south jersey. that was one of the reasons that i left. either way you shouldnt get the highest insurance discount if you are a contributor to the problem. you think of it as a discount its not a discount. you get charged a premium rate if your driving record is bad. but this has nothing to do with whether or not big brother should be watching me to see if im a good driver or not. a black box cant let bb watch you either. you have to connect to it to get any data and even then unless you have a need for the specific data it holds at the specific time its meaningless data anyway. .

if you are going to buy an extended warranty buy one from the manufacuter there no hassle getting repairs done just make sure you undrerstand when the sales man/lady says it is bumper to bumper cause the extended warranty does no include wear items such as brakes. i highly recommend the max care with the zero deductible glenn beasley chrysler tech anybody here purchase the extended d-c warranty called maximum care supposed to extend the 3/36 warranty up to 7/100. do the dealers fix things right or is it a battle to get repairs covered under this plan i figured its a good idea with the 04 quad - given the 4.7 will likely sludge and in case they didnt figure out a repair for the front end bearings - that will come apart at 60k or so. thanks for any comments feedback. art 89 plymouth ahb 82400-162423 98 xj black 35948-45398 00 xj black 33600- 04 dodge dakota 7- i cant use what i cant abuse - garbage rip #3 go! #29 #88 .

miles wrote trey wrote no pretty much everything on the freeway is speeding. but i have already gotten an suv in my back side already. shit even the school busses are at least ten over the speed limit. well ive had a kids sports car into mine. also an suv is the only car i have seen up side down in the middle of the freeway. i have seen cars loose control and they just spin out straighten out and continue on their way. i pass accidents every few days driving to work. the majority are smaller cars plowed into the center median or another car. suvs are only dangerous when the person behind them hasnt a clue and drives them as if they were a sports car. case in point is driving north on i-17 towards flagstaff in the winter. it is common for the highway to be completely snowpacked. 3 out of 4 vehicles slid out into the median are 4x4s being trucks suvs and mini awds. people think that with 4wd they can just drive normally on ice. its not the vehicle its the person behind the wheel. what i would like is something along the lines of the german autobahn a truly amazing motorway. dynamic traffic signs that adjust to traffic conditions. monitoring systems to give you early warnings or traffic jams. weather and traffic smart speed limits that change with the road conditions. the autobahn is well known for its spectacular high speed accidents too. and only about 30% of the autobahn has no speed limit and there is a big push to limit the speed in those areas too. i am not in favor of the autobahn for the speed part but for the traffic management and build quality part. 4wd in an suv or truck creates a false confedence. you can have ten wheel drive ice is ice. .

while it is not 100% accurate it is a method to keep rates in check. tom im an example of a reason why it can never be 100% accurate. for the first 15 years or so of my current marriage i never bought on credit. nothing not cars not housing no credit cards. my credit listing as slow which meant inactive more than anything. why it was my choice to not use any credit for purchases and to allow my credit to recover from my exs misuse of it. i know i was not alone then and im sure there are people today that dont use credit. for a long time i didnt use credit cards either. i saw too many of my friends bury themselves in credit card dept and always believed not to buy something that you didnt already have the money for with the exception of a house. i still believe that but now use my credit cards for everything i buy and zero balance the cards every month. the point is that it is more than just your initial rating that is used it is your history as well. if you never use credit then it will not help you but will not hurt you either because you have no history. if you use credit and always carry an excessive balance of miss many payments it shows that you tend to be irresponsible and may increase your risk and costs. imho it should not be used to determine insurance rates. my insurance agent said that they have a time delay to give them time to research your dmv history not your credit rating. -- budd its not important to me to listen to you whine about who won or lost. is this a new modification to your sig line -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving .
