Q: spent some time today looking at both the garmin and the tom tom. i like the screen on the garmin as it seems more visible from the side and seems sharper. heres the problem i found. maybe it is just me not knowing what the hell im doingshut up dennyg anyway when trying to get from ma to fl it takes you over the gw bridge in nyc the last place you want to be at anytime. i couldnt get either one of them to use the tappen zee and the gsp. i tried to get around using all the options i could find but no joy. anybody larry chris mike........ another thought does the streets and trips have that capability mac roy roy i cant speak for the garmin or tomtom but s&t will allow you to route yourself around something you want to avoid. if it selects a route segment you dont like you can select an alternative more to your liking. i would be surprised if garmin or tomtom didnt have this feature also. s&t works great but sometimes it makes dumb decisions on routing mike .

mac weve discussed things before and without animosity. of that i am proud and i hope we will always be friends. weve even shared a few common interests besides dodges. i am trying to let this thread die because id rather discuss dodges anyway. but do look up what persecution entails. it comes in many forms and as with insults is generally determined by the recipient not the speaker/writer unless the objective of the statement is a deliberate and obvious insult / persecution. i was raised and schooled to understand that calling someone a name is a deliberate act of intended insult or persecution and is where the writer exceeds his right to freedom of speech. budd on sat 16 sep 2006 073932 -0600 budd cochran mr-d150@preciscom spam.net wrote there is its called religious persecution. look it up. -- budd cochran budd... i have no idea why im doing this since a wall has more chance of considering options but what the hell if someone tells me that im ann asshole because i argue religion theyre telling me why they think im an asshole... if someone comes into my place of worship and tells me that i cant practice my beliefs theyre getting into a religious issue and might be guilty of persecution.. for an example if someone tells you that you shouldnt talk about your cushman scooter in a dodge group i dont think youd have much of a case for scooter persecution... mac https//home.comcast.net/mac.davis https//home.comcast.net/mac.davis/woodstuff.htm -- posted via a free usenet account from http//www.tera.com .

im probably way off base here but it sounds like low oil to me.that would account for the rough running the hydraulic lifters going bad quickly and even the check engine light which does come on when oil/oil pressure gets really low.just my 1.5 cents adjusted for inflation. i have a 2004 durango hemi and a 2004 ram 1500 hemi. when the tailpipe goes under water both vehicles start to blow steam and the engine light comes on. last week just after leaving the engine runnig while i loaded the boat - the valves started knocking really loud and now i have a hefty repair bill to reinstall new valve lifters. does anyone have any ideas why none of my other trucks have ever had this problem. .

after you remove the brake caliper the rotor should just pull off. at least that is how it is on my truck. again your right the hub is kinda in the way it makes cahnging the u-joint a little more difficult. .

i did the u-joints on my 99ram 1500 4x4 not to long ago. one thing i learned is it is not nessary to take the hub apart. you can slide the axle shafts out from the knucklesaxle without the extra uneeded work of taking the hub apart. how exactly did you remove an axle shaft with the hub still bolted to the knuckle .

so iow a vigilante group or person with no official sanction can destroy a house of worship and not be prosecuted arson... vandalism... willful destruction of property.... tresspass... hate crime... plenty of choices to prosecute under. a civil rights claim could most probably be made in those circumstances as well. but surely youre not comparing craigs words to you in this group to a firebombing of a church because im a christian im harrassed and called names and i wouldnt be surprised to find there is at least one person that would want to beat me up for my beliefs. if i constantly interjected myself into the conversations of others telling them how wonderful i thought vegetarianism was over and over and over again.... and someone finally told me to shove my celery stalks up my ass i should feel discriminated against for being a vegetarian as i see it youre not harrassed i quote that because i dont believe it has risen to the level of harrassment or called names simply because youre a christian. i think people get exasperated with what they perceive to be someone preaching to them.... theres a big difference there. what laws were the kkk members tried under tom what theyre doing is no different. again you compare the burning of a cross on someones lawn and the lynching of someone in their backyard to someone on an internet group telling you to shut up. im sorry budd.... your logic is severely warped here. cussing cursing and name calling. emotional injury is as prosecutable as physical injury. if you truly believe that quote the section of the united states code that covers specifically someone in this group posting a message inviting you to shut up. dont give me this its the same thing the kkk members were prosecuted for... i want title chapter and verse. tom i appreciate your effort but i went thru worse than craig or any in here in another group. im not talking about another group!!!! for all i know someone in another group made threats against you... something that could be a criminal act. all i can speak to is what ive observed here. craig said budd shut up! and you threatened to have him charged in a federal court. thats nothing short of ludicrous. .
