harding harding@cs.umass.edu wrote bdk wrote hmm i had michelin ltx a/ts on my last truck a 2000 sierra and they were by far the best tires i ever had on anything i ever drove. i only got them because there werent 4 ltx a/s tires the right size available the night i got them so i guess it worked out. they were noisy but a lot better than the goodyears my 2003 ram came with especially in wet weather.. i agree. i was rather surprised to read the negative report on the michelins. until now ive only heard positive opinions on them. i was never pleased with the oem goodyears on my 98 1500. they lasted about 50k though but i was glad to move to the sears michelin offering. i think they are called michelin lts in a/s form. supposed to be the same tire as the ltx just sold by sears. a *much* superior tire in my mind. they grip reasonably well in snow handled well are less noisy than the old goodyears. rain performance seems more than adequate. however...im pleased as punch with my new cooper snow tires from last year and im thinking im going to give cooper a try when these michelin a/s tires wear out. smh check out tirerack.com .

yes my truck was shipped from dodge with atf+4 its on the dipstick also to use atf+4 i am going in on sat. to get changed back over. here is the e-mail i got back from dodge. dear james thank you for your recent email to daimlerchrysler motors regarding your 2002 dodge dakota. when servicing your vehicles transmission it is recommended that atf+4 be used. thank you again for your email. jay smith wrote am i reading this tsb wrong it says atf+4 is recommended for all chryslers except those listed above. well above it lists just about everything! it even lists my new 2004 durango that was factory filled with atf+4 and whose manuals specifies atf+4. my 2001 ram was also factory filled with atf+4 and specd as such. jay it doesnt really say that so as i said before read very carefully and check out your own vehicle. what it does say is it is recommended that all vehicles with chrysler automatic transmissions. recommended is the key word here. if your vehicle came from the factory with atf+3 then there is no need to change over unless you want to. once you make that change you cant go back. the list you refer to lists vehicles all the way back to 1989 and correct me if im wrong but atf+4 wasnt around then was it. my truck is a 1999 and came with atf+3 which is what i keep in it. having said that if your vehicle came with atf+4 and atf+3 was put in then you need to get the dealership to correct this right away because you in fact do need atf+4. make them pull up the tsb and read it in front of you then see what they say. if they still insist the atf+3 okay then i would find another dealer asap. jerry .

1. you have the self centered idea thta it was to you he offered an apology 2. you then play petty bullshit by complaining about his use of your last name like thats something unheard of among men who often use last names instead of first when the reality is he could have called you many insulting names and been just as correct 3. then you say when you stop i will stop hell which is yet even more petty and proves just how mature and polite you really are. why is it you expect to be treated with respect when you havent even grown up let alone proved deserving of respect max life liberty and the pursuit of any jackass that threatens it. embellished usnavy slogan .

btw continuing to use my last name without my permission is a bit hateful and spiteful and rather childish dont you think your permission you plastered it all over the ng. i dont see useing it as spiteful or hateful you get into a pissin match the first rule is there are no rules. perhaps one should think about that before banging the keyboard. like i said roy people see what they want to see. how many years ago did i use my name and what is his purpose for using it now especially when he has troll and troll baby that he likes to use. he is doing it to be spiteful and you know it. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving .

mike simmons wrote what tires do you have on your truck my 03 has michelin ltx a/s and they arent worth a durn in rain or snow. ive always wondered why dodge continues to put those things michelin ltx a/s on their trucks. my experience is they are okay on wet or dry pavement but not worth a damn in snow or on ice and if you are near any mud dont even think about driving there. im running cooper a/ts right now and find they work pretty good in all conditions and at half the price of the michelins. probable better tires out there but for the time being ill stick with these. jerry jerry i dunno either. they wear like iron and at the rate im going they will last about 120k miles but i wont be able to tolerate em that long. i have looked around and there are darned few all-season/mud & snow tires in that size which are load range e. i would like to find a set of goodyears but they dont make em with that load range. im definetely not impressed with the michelins. mike .

here are some tips from a diyer on repairing or replacing the in-tank gas-level sender on a 96 dodge ram 1500 5.9 v-8 and no doubt many other similar models i bought this used with 109000 miles on it. the gas gauge was inoperative and stayed pinned below empty with the warning light on. the haynes truck manual had a schematic diagram which was quite accurate although it showed the cable using six active wires. my connector contained the six wires but only four were used. the middle wire in the upper row and the middle wire in the bottom row were dead end. this made me wonder if the unit had ever been replaced although i assumed it had not and there were no visual signs that any thing had been disturbed. i tried very hard to get the electrical connector plug out in the cramped space available but had to cut the wires to be spliced back later. even after i had the unit out i had to destroy part of the cover to get it out. however the main part of the connecter remains in good condition and can be spliced back again. only four wires will be used. be sure to observe the polarity on the two larger wires. they run the fuel-pump motor and it would run backwards if you reversed them. on mine the +12 was green and the ground was black. actually the green will end up connecting to the red wire on the autozone replacement. the polarity of the two smaller wires doesnt matter since they are simply the variable float resistance a two-terminal rheostat. my high-presssure gas-line was a snap-on type with o-rings. you have to compress the twin nylon tabs furthest back to release the line to slide off. you will have to transfer the latching device to the new unit. be sure to notice the angle of the gas-line when you re-install a unit because the short stiff connecting line is rather unforgiving. the book and the autozone directions make a big point of relieving pressure stored in the gas line. mine had sat overnite and i found almost no presssure when i removed the snap-on connector although i took the precaution of turning off my drop lite in case any gas were to spray out and break the glass bulb. i mentioned the option of repairing the old unit. if you dont mind the work and want to save $240 plus dont forget the exra $65 you had to give the irs when you earned that or about $340 if you buy it at the dodge dealer......i found that the only problem on the bad sender was that the little springy contactor points had to bent to more aggressively slide on the printed-circuit rheostat element. actually it was a rather poor design because the nylon bearing support for the wire float-arm was rather sloppy and caused the springy contact fingers to do a lot more flexing than they should have to. it was not a matter of wear because the new one was exactly like the old one. i was still pondering whether mine had been replaced because i was surprised to see that the old one was exactly like the new autozone product. also it too only used four wires. maybe someone can enlighten me. if it had been replaced i probably wasted my money. at least it has a lifetime warranty. to continue on what might be some useful tips for a diyer to prove whether the problem is indeed in the tank unit you can short the two rheostat wires on the wiring harness ill assume you cant get the connector out. you can trim a little insulation off which is easier or you can force a small safety pin through the wires in order to short them together. be sure its the small wires and not the larger motor wires!. again its not the middle wires of the top and bottom row. if the dash and external wiring is ok this will make the gauge read past full ignition on of course and prove that the problem is in the tank. normally the float rheostat would offer about 12 ohms almost a short when the tank is full. another tip when you start to remove the tank it will be much easier to remove the two rubber hoses going to the tank if you first remove the three phillips screws near the gas cap and withdraw the the steel filler pipe to the inside. when these are separated you would have access into the tank to siphon out gas if you need to. in my case i drove the car in town until the engine died and then put in a little over a gallon to get home. i left about a gallon in the tank throughout the job since it only added about 7 lbs of weight. of course i heeded all the usual warnings about working with gas. i also stuffed rags in the filler hoses to minimize fumes coming out. the book mentioned removing the heat shield but i left it attached with no problem. i found that i could handle the tank alone im about 80 years old and just let it lay on the ground with the shield side down. it is now convenient to remove and install the unit out horizontally. i found the large retaining nut to be very tight. fortunately i discovered that a piece of steel about 1/8 by 2 would bare

let me say this succinctly . . .you were not on the list i offered my apologies to due to the fact youve refused to apologize to insults to me and my family you have made in the past and you are not man enough to ever admit youve called me those names. now just go to hell ok as i figured budd it was not a true apology just another attempt to suckup to people everyone except me lol. i dont remember saying anything about your family and if i did it was a long time ago and was not meant that way. but either way i shouldnt have done it and for that i apologies. as for names i call you i never denied doing that but i am no different there than you are. sure you like to come up with lame justifications for doing it but name calling is still name calling any way that you spin it. when you stop i will stop hell except for the suckup name that fits you so well i already have and when you stop even that name will go away. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving .

ken a few things need to be considered when comparing two different brands of vehicles. for trucks for example tire sizes vehicle load ratings two or four wheel drive and vehicle ride height all play importantly in how a vehicle handles. is the dodge significantly higher than the ford is it heavier are the tires sizes much different especially if you had wider custom tires under the ford a slide-in camper any high mounted options like a triple tube roll bar with 24 lights stacked up on it just a little teasing and it could be youre just not really used to it yet. it sometimes takes a while. how long have you had it the more information you can supply the easier it is to diagnose the problem. -- budd i just purchased an 03 3/4 ton with the hemi in it. of the three trucks i have owned over the years this one handles the worst around corners and over wet pavement. heck its so bad that i dont dare go over 60 around a certain broad sweeping freeway curve i used to take at 80 with the ford i used to have. i know its not a sportscar but this thing feels like a roller skate. it needs help in a bad way. does anyone have any ideas they have tried which work thanks! ken .
