what preaching how about right after you said the bible teaches this is how just about every church service starts. only those that teach from the bible. you are correct and exactly what are the ones that are teaching from the bible doing how about preaching!!!! how many hundreds of times have you insisted in an argument with me that a definition is not fixed you say im preaching and i say im not. that is because you just dont want to admit to it but you are really not please explain exactly what you are doing. you better read this one again tom. either your english is getting worse or my computer doesnt understand what you write. but i will explain again though youll continue to say im preaching. if you or anyone else was to quote from any other book by copy/paste typing it out or by paraphrase you and the others would accept it without comment unless it was an obvious teasing. however if i a fundamental christian quotes for any non-preaching reason by any of the previously mentioned methods from the holy bible i am accused of preaching and i am derided insulted and abused for it. that is what im doing and the results of what happens when i do it. miles and i were discussing a point about my beliefs as compared to his. i gave some reference information. and that was what you were doing up to the point where you said what you did above. after that is was nothing more than preaching even though miles has said more than once that he didnt want to hear it. aw there ya go speaking for others again. just gotta do everyones talking for them dont ya whats the matter budd are ya getting upset because i speak the truth. no just the opposite. im not upset because what youre saying is a lie. he clearly said that preaching was not asked for and if i was wrong he would not hesitate to say so. when you make a comment that derides anothers beliefs expect them to respond defensively. his comment was that he could not accept that god would support the devil. i was pointing out to him that according to the bible god doesnt want anyone to go to hell nor does he support the devil. whoever led miles to that belief was corrupting what is actually in the scriptures. i was trying to correct a mistake again. any way you want to spin it budd you were preaching simple as that. in your incorrect opinion. it is not my opinion budd it is fact. even when mac suggested that you use the term imo you claimed that if it was just your opinion you would use it but it wasnt which says that you are making your claims as fact and that my friend is preaching. first you are not my friend you decided that a long time ago and i would appreciate you not calling me friend. secondly i will state once more i was not preaching. if i were to preach to this group then it would be in a seperate very long post. you preach to a group as a whole not to an individual. personally i dont care if you do or dont but if you claim not to and then flat out do it a few days later mr. the bible teaches someone is going to call you on it. well it had better be someone that knows more about preaching than you because what you do in these tirades is preach against me and my beliefs . . unfortunately you have no scriptures to support your preaching. oh please budd just about everyone in the ng has said that you are preaching including your friends. i am not preaching against you and even said that i dont care if you do it or not as clearly stated above and below this line. then why are you saying anything tom clearly according to what you have written you dont care one way or another and to jump in supposedly in miless defense shows the opposite . . .or that you are afraid you wont get your licks in. if you want to preach go ahead but dont do it and then claim that you are not and try and cover with some crap about correcting errors when someone asks you to stop. all that does is make you look like a fool and a liar. then you coinsider all christians to be fools and liars tom because im following the commandment of jesus to go and make disciples of all men matthew 2818-20 lol you are spinning so fast that you are spinning yourself. all christians do not preach and then deny doing it and how exactly do you make deciples out of all men without preaching to them all christians are called to spread the word to make disciples. if im having a cup of coffee with a persn and they ask me what i believe or we discuss a point of scripture and he becomes a christian as a result then ive accomplished both parts of the commandment without preaching. thats all im doing here. be glad i do follow christs lead for a while at least the southern baptist denomination was buttonholing and preaching to individuals. like christ i respond to the pharisees also. tom shut up. oh my god according to you

but its only been about 20k miles. i have a dakota 97 truck with about 87k miles on it. do i need to change the plugs i dont see any symptoms but im not sure what to look for. im just trying to figure out what maintanance i need to do. im thinking of changing the coolant fluid because its been almost 4 years. but its been only 16k miles. heres the thing though about 8 months ago only 3000 miles ago i went to a dodge dealer where i got most of my work done who tested the fluid and said its fine he said good down to 0 degrees or something like that and i shouldnt bother changing it even though it was about 3.5 years at the time. so i didnt change it...not sure if i shouldnve taken their word for it and i forgot to ask them about its protection against heat not just cold. and im not sure when to get it replaced vs. flushed. i think its always been just replaced. other than that based on my manual i dont seem to need any other maintanence thanks. .

1. there is no bearing pre-load on the carrier bearings only the pinion bearing and we arent discussing the pinion here. there absolutely is - what do you think the function of the adjusters is perhaps to position the ring gear and carrier in relation to the pinion gear. yes they also allow setting bearing preload but that is a given. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving .

i also rebuilt my rear axle recently for this problem and was very surprised to pull out failed timken bearings. i bought the complete bearing set from local hi-lo/ oreilly auto parts place for around $100. its the national / bower bca brand and everything went together fine with great input and assistance from this group and especially tom lawrence. i just wished i could have found a reasonable priced locker unit to put in the housing instead of the stock single track unit. i just didnt have the $450 that most places wanted. my truck is a 98 1500 quad cab with 81k miles on it. sounds just like yours pulled a few trailers but nothing near abuse. as far as changing fluids theyve all been serviced regularly but ive never seen bearing failure like this in anything ive owned. we also have a 2000 durango with 52k on the clock. i guess itll be next. curtis chinese bearings instead of us made timkens -- budd cochran john 316-17 ephesians 28-9 romans 323 623 our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. it is wholly inadequate for the government of any other. john adams there is nothing wrong with the design budd what is wrong is the cost cutting in the parts such as in the bearings used to make them now. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving whats really odd in my opinion is the old 79 d-150 my son now drives has the 9.25 axle in it with over 400000 miles on it afaik. i put one set of outer bearings in it at just under 300000 otherwise untouched. so whats gone wrong with that axle design since 79 -- budd cochran john 316-17 ephesians 28-9 romans 323 623 our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. it is wholly inadequate for the government of any other. john adams thanks people! i checked the pinion depth and mesh pattern before removal so i have a good reference. i suppose i could just go for it and use a new shim of same thickness then install and recheck the depth. if it comes up short i could add shims behind the bearing race in the housing. if it comes up long i have a problem 50-50 chance! im glad i read about the problems people are having with pinion bearings here. i started to get the whine that at first sounded like tires. i figured that at 70k my gears should still be fine but after reading about early failures i blocked up the rear and ran it unloaded and in gear...ugh! just as a data point the truck is a 98 w/70k miles 2wd 5.8l 1500 and has towed the occasional heavy load but in general has been treated well. the only other problem has been an annoying coolant leak at the thermostat housing. -bruce -- posted via a free usenet account from http//www.tera.com -- posted via a free usenet account from http//www.tera.com .

every morning i get in my 1998 dodge dakota 3.9l auto tran. 2wd start it up and drive approximately 7 miles. i then park it where it sits for approximately one hour. i then start it for the return trip. when i start it this second time without fail the brake and abs lights will remain on. this has been going on for better than a year. the speedometer works fine as does the cruise control. so do the brakes. if i start it later in the day if it has been idle for three or four hours the lights go off. if it has been a shorter time they may or may not remain on. i changed the differential speed sensor about a 18 months ago when the lights came on stayed on and the speedometer started to fluctuate. at the time i got an obdii scan done at the place that does my brakes and they came up with no fault codes however advised that i probably would solve the problem by changing the sensor. it did for about six months then this described above started happening. any one got a clue frank .
