so now once again you are attacking some one elses beliefs. how mighty christian of you. funny you can preach to us all that we are bigots and that we are heathens and that we hate religion yet proven by your own statements you are all the above. i never recall anywhere in my catholic school days anytime during my confirmation days or anytime before i denounced now please read this carefully organized religion not religion completely where jesus has told anyone to do anything but love and accept his/her brother/sister. where is your acceptance and love of others messenger budd cochran wrote if youre actually lds youre a darn poor example. but then i follow a jewish carpenter not a con artist. budd and how do you know you getting more pussy -- christopher a. young you cant shout down a troll. you have to starve them. . i confessed my sins to god. he forgave me. budd actually budd it was both. but at least im man enough to admit to it. what about you -- -- posted via a free usenet account from http//www.tera.com .

on thu 11 jan 2007 133649 -0800 ring wrote have you looked the whole truck over or just under the hood i have a 99 3500 diesel that had a weird rattle at exactly 1200rpm. anything over or under it would not do it. it sounded like the noise was coming from the engine. i looked all under the hood thinking to find something loose and could find nothing wrong. it wasnt until a week later i climbed under the truck to grease the front and found an exhaust clamp rusted loose and dangling on the pipe right under the cab. i removed the clamp and thus removed my engine rattle. so far just under the hood/frontend. ill have to expand the search area. .

hey how about get into some kind of sect that has total immunity from everything. get into a group thats got total political correct. so you can claim offended by everything you dont like. buddist might do it. never know.... -- christopher a. young you cant shout down a troll. you have to starve them. .. okay to keep peace in the flock and to appease some of the members who made valid points for a change. mainly keeping my young ass out of trouble real or imagined i am converting from pussy to drum roll please... buddism!!!!! thats right buddism. it has its perks that we can all use equally. if somebody disagrees with you ya can call him a bigot or accuse him/her of bashing. you can accuse them of all sorts hate crimes threaten them with all kinds of violations to the bill of rights the constitution you name its covered. most importantly you can live your life in a state of total denial. you automatically become correct in every thing you say every hair brained idea or thought you have becomes gospel. you can say things to piss others off and it doesnt matter because you have embraced buddism. the one big difference of this sect of buddism is your friends are still your friends. im sure others will start their own sect of buddism thats wonderful cause there is a bunch of people in this world that havent been pissed off yet by budddism. oh one other thing. this sect of buddism does not require you to become totally blind or give up your political beliefs or surrender your common sense. so i figure miles and t-bone can join with no problem at all. .

you forgot to mention how they took the day off for a ball game . . . . budd tbone wrote of course you will say that miles especially since your party as pretty much screwed the pooch and most americans for the past 6 to 7 years. so far the dems in just a short period have already gone against their own bs campaign rhetoric. pelosi stated her first order of business would be this so called 100 hours to pass 6 bills regarding 9/11 committee recommendations. she stated over and over how this would be the very first thing on the agenda. well guess what. the first thing on her agenda was to get a bill passed making it much easier to raise taxes. had nothing to do with 9/11. there were several other bills passed as well. pelosi is a flat out bs artist just like those she accuses. -- posted via a free usenet account from http//www.tera.com .

you will be accepted when you decide to accept others for who they are instead of telling them they have to be like you. miles i told you what was different between our beliefs systems and what the bible said exactly about them. you chose to take it wrong. so be it. budd -- posted via a free usenet account from http//www.tera.com .

i wonder what kind of law suit he was trying to bring against gm - if you repeatedly over heat your engine trying to keep up with a dodge ctd it enters leap home mode obviously dodge is the superior product but what kind of damage did this fool do to his own truck also the idiot should get out of the left hand lane if he cant keep up with traffic! thanks for the post i was considering a duramax for a while. it might has helped if he had the uhaul truck facing to the front without all the wind resistance. pehaps but it was probably loaded that way to put the weight on the trailer wheels. he made a claim that he was totaling nearly 23k in weight. is that correct my dodge vehicle manual shows about 20k max. i think so. he said during the video he was 300 lbs. under max weight rating i think ford is claiming close to or over 25000 with their tow boss package my 96 3500 club cab automatic 4x4 3.54 gears was max trailer rated at 9700 lbs. my 01 3500 quad cab six speed 4x4 4.10 gears is rated at 14300. .

max - hows your puny 47re doing behind your cummins 6+ years and still going right doing just fine at the 72500 mark. i recently pulled a loaded car trailer 93 s10 blazer 4dr from state college pa to bloomsburg ran at 70mph across i80. slowed to 60mph and manually dropped to 3rd gear to run the hill outside lock haven. had 0 problems and got an average of 14mpg doing it. prior uses of the trans include dragging many vehicles home on the trailer mostly in od. numerous runs to the eastern shore of maryland at 75+mph and one incident where i hooked on to a loaded otr rig and helped pull him off a patch of ice. iow i dont exactly take care of the trans like a mother hen.... in fact ive changed the fluid exactly twice in 72k. yeah these things are loaded with problems. not. -- max join www.devilbrad.com and find out what free exchange of info is all about. there are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty soap ballot jury and ammo. please use in that order. -ed howdershelt author i have noticed the high number of automatic transmission troubles on this and other groups yes - automatic due to their nature are more prone to wear. this isnt . type automatic gearboxes fail. only truck automatics in the same class as the big allison 6 speed will be reliable over time in this application and they are expensive and are not offered. max - hows your puny 47re doing behind your cummins 6+ years and still going right so why do so many ctd owners insist on automatic gears when this observation is so easy for anyone to make suvs are known to suck up more gas than econo-boxes. why would anyone choose to drive such a huge vehicle clutch on my ctd is a 13 in seriously heavy duty unit and it is very easy to trash this clutch with just a little abuse. perhaps you ctd owners with automatics could satisfy my curiosity by explaining your rational for making that choice. for me personally the convenience of the auto - the better performance especially with a turbocharged vehicle - the ability to upgrade it and put more power through it than a manual you can upgrade your clutch all you like - the gearbox is still only rated for a certain torque input then gears start to shear. even the late model gears are simply not up to the task. says who the 48re has been extremely reliable i believe dodge and ford are about neck and neck when it comes to number of failures during the warranty period with chevy a distant 3rd. the 68rfe will be even more reliable since its designed from the ground-up with two overdrive gears the 4xrh/es od was an after-thought and suffered as such. these trucks have 1000000 mile motors and 100000 mile gears. well 350k at best before an overhaul good for two overhauls. why cant you give the transmission the same allowance treated properly a modern automatic can easily go 200k before an overhaul and as others have pointed out a very small percentage of people will keep a vehicle over 200k - let alone 1m not saying there arent the rare exceptions - but thats just it... rare. notice the new trend in diesel-powered trucks the one where the manufacturers are de-tuning the engine output when mated to manual transmissions chevys doing it - dodge will be doing it this month and fords right behind when their new engine. .

hi all ive been hearing a moaning/rubbing noise coming from my front driver-side wheel. i took it to a shop and they said the wheel bearing is bad. they wanted $500 to replace it $380 for the part $120 for the labor... at that price ill do it myself the part is $200 at napa. anyway looking at images of the part it doesnt look like too complicated of a procedure. the truck is a 99 dakota sport 4x4 with rear wheel abs not four-wheel. can someone post an outline of how to replace this part most helpful would be mention of additional parts apparently theres a nylock nut that has to be replaced too torque settings etc. thanks! -adam .
