what make the difference is the beam pattern not the color. they are fog lights even though they are white. i almost never get shit when i have them on and on the rare occasion that i do i flash them back my high beams and that usually corrects the problem. some people just see more than two white lights and get all bent out of shape even though they are not blinding them. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving on tue 10 feb 2004 034925 gmt michael greenwood mgreenwood@pacbell.net wrote actually i think theyre driving or road lights... fog lights are usually amber or yellow.. i use mine on dark roads away from traffic... in calif. youre not supposed to use them if there is oncoming traffic or someone within xx feet in front of you.. i found out the hard way.. im just curious as to why pulling on the switch is such a hassle it seems that re-wiring the switch would be 100 times the hassle. personally i only turn them on when its foggy...thats why i thought they were called fog lights and not running lights. --mike rchkthfm@bellsouth.net wrote i have a 99 quad-cab. when i turn on my lights i always pull out the light switch to turn on the fog driving lights. is there a way to rewire the fog lights to come on when i turn on my headlights. thanks wow where do you live that has that much fog -- .bob 97 h-d fxdwg - turbocharged!! 01 dakota quad sport 5.9/auto/4x4 83 gmc jimmy beater 66 427sc cobra replica - project 66 mustang coupe - daily driver -----= posted via feeds.com uncensored usenet =----- http//www.feeds.com - the #1 group service in the world! -----== over 100000 groups - 19 different servers! =----- mac .

i own a kubota 2550 4wd 28 hp compact tractor. loader woods 6 mower. log splitter harrow and some other small attachments. i have had it since 1987 when it was new. i have had almost no problems with this tractor. it has never had any engine work. only oil changes battery every 5 years. i had to replace all the hydraulic lines on the loader due to rust. the woods mower needs wheels and belts every 5 years or so. very dependable. when i was looking for compact tractors i looked at ford mf deer new holland and kubota. at the time only kubota made their own engines. the kubota engines are known for their reliability. they are used on generators pumps chippers and tractors. that is what sold me on kubota. i think all the compact tractors these days are well made. but i think kubota is still the only company that makes it all themselves. i also have a ford new holland tractor. it is a 1992. i have only had it for 3 years. but it has high hours. still runs well. most of the repairs i did on it was to replace all the parts broken off of it from careless landscaper drivers. the hydrostatic transmission works well. no leaks at all. the engine smokes some but has plenty of power still. that is all i have experience with. except for my 1945 massey harris which still runs. john prowler99 wrote my dad is retired now and wants to spend my inheritance on toys. he told me to shop for a utility tractor with a front loader and a back-hoe in the 18-30 hp range. we are looking at kubota and john deere as there are no other brand dealers within reasonable distance from us. does anyone have any experience with this type of small tractor. is the deere that much better than the kubota to justify the 30% price difference do the kubotas hold up under moderate usage any advice appreciated. randy .

fwpp witnessprotectionprogram@imnottelling.com wrote in snipped same here. the advantage is clearly rwd because the drive wheels are different from the steering wheels. joe black 03 dakota 5.9 r/t cc calypso green 93 mustang 5.0 lx hatch with a few goodies actually that is what gives the rwd the disadvantage. with fwd the front wheels with the majority of weight pull in the direction you steer. if those front wheels are slipping the only place the car is going is out of control. no steering along with no drive traction = out of control. complete bull just because the front wheels are slipping doesnt mean that they have lost all traction just some of it. care to explain what partial traction is partial traction is a reduced traction force. perhaps you should look up the coefficient of friction and how it relates to static and moving sliding objects. if the tires lost all traction when they slide they would provide no force at all. this would mean that you could never do a donut or power slide and that a skidding car would never stop unless it hit something. when somthing is spinning it has lost traction. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving .

the 3.92s sure didnt help your mileage any. whats your rpm at highway speed just curious. o. my everyday stop and go/ country road type mileage went up about a mile per gallon and my highway dropped a couple. ill post back with the rpms i guess i dont pay that much attention to the tach. it only made about 200-250 rpms difference with the gears but i went from 31 inch to 33 inch tires about the same time. denny .

the other day i was down at the library looking through some hardcover chilton/motors professional manuals i happened to look under 1980 motorhome engines. there was a 446 listed. from some information i read years ago i had always believed it was a 440 bored .030 over from the factory. i got to looking at the bore and stroke which were listed at 4.125 and 4.18 respectively. there was no picture of the engine only a partial illustration showing it had spread port intake ports such as a big block chevy uses not the siamese ports typical passenger/truck chrysler engines used is this one of those weird chrysler industrial engines such as the 361 industrial or 413 industrial with a longer stroke its an international harvester sourced engine. mv404 mv446 family. this is the gas v8 that international evolved into the 6.9 and 7.3 diesel used in ford pickups. dodge basically used this 446 to replace their own big block that was being phased out of production. .

youre right but you can fire up the gasser in your driveway for a few minutes before you leave and have heat for the drive..... this doesnt work with the cummins and prolonged idling is not good for em. btw when it is cold i turn my fan speed on low and direct the air thru the i/p vents and i start getting heat in about 3-4 miles even though the temp gauge hasnt moved much.... it aint much but its better than nuthin on a cold winters morn...... a winter front helps a lot too..... mike i dont think a gas engine would give him any heat in two miles either. but yes driving for 15 minutes or so before i can get any heat is not fun sometimes. ive taken to running a small portable heater in the passenger compartment for a while before i leave in the morning... covers the slack until i can get some heat out of the vehicle. living with a diesel is well... different. you kind of have to like it or you wont like it if you follow my meaning. mike simmons wrote the other posters have given you some good advice but one other factor i feel that you should be aware of is that living in canada and having a commute of only two miles you can expect the cummins to generate almost no heat into the passenger compartment during your commute. chryco service manager member sae also what the other posters have mentioned about leasing is true.... unless you are using the truck in a business it makes absolutely no sense to lease. am looking for any kind of advice or feedback. i may put 12000 kms annually on the truck its used to go back and forth to work approx 2 miles some casual driving and then family travel. for most outings we have a jetta tdi wagon. although the cummins would be a great truck for towing i would not drive iit on a two mile commute! the commute and the low miles you drive each year would make a diesel a bad choice for you. if you drove 10-20 miles to work and more miles a year than the answer would be differant. greg . 222 277369 bc4a0012.198d4%yonzie@mac.com mygodisthereanamenotchosen@yahoo.com wrote i was pulled out of the muck while 4 wheelin in my jeep with a 1952 case tractor. she backfired a lot but yanked the ol jeep right out of the muck. i think well of the case name now. that tractor looked ancient!! they still do look ancient from a john deere and nothing but a deere owner dale .

so whats not right in your book should not exist that would make for an interesting world. it hurts you and your family somehow if a gay couple raises a kid you think everybody else should do things right in your book well in my book were tolerant of things that do us no harm. perhaps we should give my way a try for a while in this world clem by your logic then we should allow pedophilia why not after all it is an alternate lifestyle... after all who are we to judge whats right and wrong hmmmmmm at some point in time society has to decide what is acceptable and unacceptable behavior. this time is now. we have tried it your way and it is a mess! it takes no courage at all to be tolerant it does take courage to have convictions and stand up for em. whats right is right and whats wrong is wrong..... plain and simple! mike yup well i had my 2 kids a boy and a girl so ill take your sage advice and not reproduce further. close minded nope...im one of the most open minded people youll meet. its just not right in my book...period! i dont give a rats ass what folks do behind closed doors...its no ones business. when they flaunt it like the queer parade every year here in san francisco it bothers me. keep it behind closed doors. when they bring it to the courts to make it legal it bothers me even more. i aint a gwb fan but i agree with him that marriage is between a man and a woman. whats next a shephard can marry one of his prized ewes same sh*t as far as im concerned. ill now gracefully bow out of this discussion...g --mike interesting topic. but how far up others asses do we feel like we need to be if johnny and robbie want to raise a child who are we to judge im sure there are plenty out there who feel that anybody so closed minded shouldnt reproduce as well. all in all who cares what i or you think should it not be up to whomever if they want to raise a child its not like its automatically harmful because of having gay parents. its because of reactions from closed minded people. so the closed minded people should immediately stop reproducing. sure ma judges are appointed by the ma gov but its already a national issue wont matter who is in the white house or what he thinks most folks in this country dont think little johnny or little betty needs 2 daddys or 2 mommys i cant agree with you more on that point! what a friggin joke. and thats coming from someone in the sf bay area...one of the queer capitals of the planet! --mike kerry he will be the next president hillary wont let that happen!!!! shed have to wait too long to run bg remember that it was a court decision and our judges are appointed by the gov. sure ma judges are appointed by the ma gov but its already a national issue wont matter who is in the white house or what he thinks most folks in this country dont think little johnny or little betty needs 2 daddys or 2 mommys politics the gentle art of getting votes from the poor and campaign funds from the rich. .

i suggest immediate castration. 8^d i never said a queer wasnt a queer. my issue is just why does someone being a queer mean anything to you how exactly is it harming you it comes down to the morals of the issue. i dont want my kids to be raised in an environment where gays openly walk down the street arm in arm. do you think anybody has a right to judge you and your family i could give a fuck less what you or anybody else thinks. ill do what i believe is the right/legal thing to do. damn!! you gotta respect a outspoken rabbit that tells it like it is. you are nuts on regards this issue. but i know deep down inside that furry fat body you care a little about what i think. gbmfg just keep the carrots coming..... g did you sell your van yet denny .

john chall wrote well i guess no one has had or seen this problem and that is a good thing. if a bunch of you had seen the same problem id have to stop telling my chevy and ford truck loving friends how great dodge trucks are these days. cheers john i have a 1998 durango with the 360. a while back the gas guage started acting up when the gas level reached 1/4 tank. at that point the guage would alternate between reading 1/4 tank and well below empty not energized. this flip-flop would happen every minute or so. with the low fuel chime sounding every time the guage dropped below empty i was motivated to head straight to a gas station. on one occasion i was unable to pull over for gas. running late i decided to put up with the periodic chime alerts. on that 40 minute trip i developed another problem. i think they may be connected. i suspect that the flip-flopping guage and chime caused an electrical surge damaging another circuit. now my abs and parking brake idiot lights stay on all the time and my speedometer quit working. all this happened in one instant during a flip-flop. later i discovered that the door locks no longer lock automatically at 15 mph. ive checked fuses etc without finding a problem. i replaced the speed sensor but didnt get my speedometer back. anybody seen something similar to this have any ideas im ready to give up looking for the problem. thanks john i bet this is a main computer problem. you have to look at the point all these circuits have in common. afaik thats the main computer. i wouldnt waste time checking out the various senders and indivual circuits. i dont have a repair manual for a 98 but you should start by reading up on how these circuits work. -- ..bob 97 h-d fxdwg - turbocharged!! 01 dakota quad sport 5.9/auto/4x4 83 gmc jimmy beater 66 427sc cobra replica - project 66 mustang coupe - daily driver -----= posted via feeds.com uncensored usenet =----- http//www.feeds.com - the #1 group service in the world! -----== over 100000 groups - 19 different servers! =----- .

to all my friends in aadt as many of you know my son mike jr. is serving in the usmc and has seen action in both afghanistan and iraq where he was wounded. many of you may remember that he was awarded the bronze star with combat v for action in iraq last september. shortly after his return to the states he was selected by the usmc to represent the marine corps and receive the defense of freedom award which is presented by the american veterans association. he and his wife attended the awards ceremony in november in los angeles where he was presented the award for his action in afghanistan and iraq. the awards ceremony will be presented on the history channel sunday evening february 8th at 600pm central time. for those who have been very supportive of mike and us we invite you to tune in. www.avashow.com semper fi! mike simmons mike i couldnt find the ceremony on the history channel in my area but i did go to http//www.avashow.com/smdofaward03.htm and saw what it was all about. you kept a few facts out of your short post like how many marines will receive this award this year 1. what is the award i quote; service member defense of freedom award sponsored by at&t this awards program will honor a serviceman or woman from each u.s. military service who has been deployed outside the united states in support of u.s. armed forces involvement in international conflict and performed with distinction in defense of freedom. for 2003 honorees would be selected from those deployed in operation enduring freedom and/or operation iraqi freedom. for subsequent years should this program continue service members from new deployments and conflicts would be included. the overarching goal of this award program is to select honorees who are honored for two reasons - first for their own outstanding service and contributions and second as representatives of the many others in their branch of the armed forces who likewise have performed in this same capacity with excellence and distinction but not been recognized for their achievement. suggested criteria to date include but are not limited to the following a.. one person selected from each branch of the armed forces army navy air force marines and coast guard. a.. honorees may be active duty guard or reserve male or female officer or enlisted equal consideration given to ensure the 5 selected honorees are representative. a.. already have been recognized by his/her unit or service branch with a major service combat award. a.. deployed for at least 100 days in a recent conflict with 2003 honorees having participated in operation enduring freedom and/or operation iraqi freedom. a.. not previously recognized for an external award. mike the page has more info on your son and a nice picture. i know you are proud of your son and so am i. he didnt get this way all by himself though and im guessing your folks and inlaws are quite proud of you and your wife too for raising such a man. stand tall. fmb only one b in fmb .

first the reason you are blowing the infinitys in the truck is due to lack of power and high amount of distortion. if you by passed the factory amp and installed something from mtx or fosgate you wouldnt have this problem. if the speakers in the dak are like the newer rams i have worked on with the premium system the amp is on each from speaker and wired from there to the rears.so you would have to either replace the deck and speakers or add a separate amp. on the 2k dak you should have 6.5 7 up front and 5.25 in the rear. i would recommend audiobahn earthquake mtx or fosgate for speakers. audiobahn has a higher power handling ability as well as a high db efficiency rating. im looking to upgrade my factory stereo ive blown 3 infinity speakers now and im ready for something else. i want to replace the front speakers wtih better quality but the same size and put something a little larger in the back doors its a quad cab. my questions are does the back speaker set up have a cross over in the premium factory system would seperates or coaxial work better in the back anyone have luck running any larger speakers under the factory grilles recommended wattage ratings thanks. sean rec.bicycles.marketplace .

joel wrote greetings recently i purchased a 2001 dodge ram 1500 quad cab/ off road package with an automatic transmission with a 5.9 liter magnum gas engine. i love it except for the dismal gas mileage. on the open road holding steady at 75mph its getting 10 mpg. thats the best it does! its got one of those headliner mounted information centers that can display the current mpg. i turned the dang thing off because i dont want to see sometimes single digits for my current mpg cruising down the open road!! dodge engine normally get prety lousy mileage but 10 is a little low. start by checking to make sure the overhead console is correct. then do the normal tune up things. then start looking for bad parts like o2 sensors. plus with the cruise set and driving over some hilly terrain the transmission shifts up and down more than expected. thats pretty normal too. its an attempt to stay in od as long as possible to conserve fuel. and the cruise control is a little sensative it tries to maintan speed with rapid throttle movements. when it gets hilly either take it out of od or turn off the cruise control. oh and when i put it in four wheel drive the front steering seems like it really binds a lot. if its on dry pavement that is also normal. all 4x4s do that. thats why they tell you never to use it on dry pavement. -- ..bob 97 h-d fxdwg - turbocharged!! 01 dakota quad sport 5.9/auto/4x4 83 gmc jimmy beater 66 427sc cobra replica - project 66 mustang coupe - daily driver -----= posted via feeds.com uncensored usenet =----- http//www.feeds.com - the #1 group service in the world! -----== over 100000 groups - 19 different servers! =----- .

scott aleckson wrote the drive gear wasnt changed but if the interface in the new tranny was different than the old one obviously that would make for the difference on the speedometer. so this must mean that the tranny senses speed off the speedo output as part of determining shift points anyhow i suppose that is a starting point. thanks scott torqueflites of that vintage dont sense road speed off the speedometer pinion. road speed is determined by a mechanical governor on the output shaft inside the tail-housing. my guess is that you have two un-related problems. check the kickdown/throttle position liknage as i mentioned in the previous post. a stuck governor *could* cause the same problem *if* it were stuck in the stopped position but they usually stick in the high speed position if theyre going to stick not impossible though. if the throttle linkage is ok then go after the governor. requires transmission disassembly though so id actually go after the place you bought the trans. .
