but what does this have to do with the thread subject oh thats right nothing. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving no but you defended that erroneous statement what statement would that be you were the one to say that it was false and then went out of your way to prove that it was true. now before you completely spin it the key word was produce not create. you never said it was incorrect just jump on my correction because your correction served no purpose but to jump on somebody over semantics. you truly are an idiot incapable of admitting your screw-ups where did i screw up gary when you wrote how about 3% / 2% = 1.5% now spin as you will that statement is dead wrong admit it .

how about 3% / 2% = 1.5% yep 100% correct. - okay... i think this hole is deep enough.... tom - whats .03 divided by .02 hint it aint .015. no shit tom like i said a million times its 1.5. i understand what he is saying and was trying to prove a point one that i believe i clearly did. when he thinks he is right regardless of what i say he fights on and here he is doing exactly that. as harry potter would say mischief managed. but just a few posts ago see below you wrote the following how about 3% / 2% = 1.5% which is wrong so is your claim that a transmission cannot produce torque. it cant create it but it can produce it. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving .

hauling his fat ass around. bfg a couple of more holiday meals and he will be changing to 456s.gbmfg roy talk about not keeping my back covered...... vbg that is too easy so i wont.g i thought about that but id already hit the send button. i just waited for you to take a shot.. how ya been roy doin good thanks. tons of ot just waiting for the hot tub to arrive. you got that new cummins broke in yet nope been on the train to work saves a bunch of money on fuel. think i have about 7k on it. vacation the first two weeks of july so it will be used a lot more. where you headed this year have a question for ya. does dc offer a self dimming mirror for the passenger side tow mirror the damn thing is a pia at night it is blinding. ill check tomorrow but ive never seen one. ill let you know. the vn moving wall is here for a week. it was here about 6 years ago somthing that should be seen imo. if it is in your area try to see it late at night or early morning it is a totally different deal then. it went thru this area several weeks ago. about 3000 cycles followed it from beaverdam thru bowling green. i remember the paper said the line of bikes was 15 miles long behind it. denny roy denny .

i dont think that it has anything to do with particles. potatoes have oils as well and some of it must leach out into the cooking oil. when i worked at the drive-in as a cook god that was a long time ago we had a few deep fryers and the one used for fries could only be used for fries. if you fried anything else in it it would taste sort of like french fries and the fries afterward would taste like crap until you changed the oil. i would assume many things have oils that will exchange with the cooking oil and you will not be able to get it out but on the good side many say that it actually smells good unlike diesel -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving could something like that be filtered out how small are these particles im sure little bits of potato cant be all that good for the engine. i would think that it is the residual smell from the food that was cooked in the used oil. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving there recently were two stories in the connecticut press about burning used cooking oil the first was a woman who was burning waste cooking oil from chinese restrauants... all positive press the second was two- three weeks ago where a guy in winsted ct had converted his vw bug to burn waste cooking oil and a black bear trashed the rear window to get to the oil smell. picture in the paper showed a car i wouldnt wantto drive tochurch in on sunday but he supossedly got great milage when th think heated up and he converted from disel to french fry oil. the down side is his neighbors complained whenever he came home because everyone ended up smelling like they worked at bugger king. jem could the smell be from the oil not burning hot enough or is that just the inherent smell of cooking oil it would be interesting to see a comparison between used cooking oil and fresh cooking oil. .

the only ammo you are getting is being generated in your own mind. first you say that a transmission cannot produce torque and then proceed to prove that it can lol. hey i love a good fight as much as the next guy but please for the sake of all us spectators even those of us that occasionally throw an empty beer into the ring can you guys please start trimming your posts do you know how annoying it is to scroll down through quote after quote after quote just to get to the i know you are but what am i meat of the post cmon... think about the fans a little bit will ya can we kill the top poasters furst -- moparman---remove clothes to reply! --scud coordinates 32.61204 north 96.92993 west-- .

denny1 wrote snoman wrote but tbone you missing the point. when a engine it running well below its ve it still takes the same hp to roll truck down the road and the engine has to work harder and make more torque are lower rpm and reduced efficency to make the hp needed to roll truck. raise the rpm some and engien needs to make less torque to make same hp and is closer to ve to so efficency is better and less fuel is used per hp hour and to take it further if your cruise at say 1700 rpm and have a max torque of 70% of peak availible that give you only about 68 hp at flywheel or about 45 to 50 at wheel which is barely enough to cruise and the eninge will be working as higher cylinder pressure in a unefficent stay to try to make it and be using more fuel to make hp than it should not to mention higher bearing and ring pressure too which can lead to short than optimum life of engine snoman i can give you a real world example of gear changes. in my 95 1500 it came with 3.55 gears and i usually got about 17-17.5 mpg at approx 65-70 mph. i changed the diffs to 3.92 cause i needed more gear for what i use the truck for. since the change my highway mileage has dropped to 14.5-15 mpg running the same speed. denny my 2000 chevy k3500 srw with a 350 gets 16 to 17mpg on hiway with a/c on and about 13 in town with 4.10 gears and stock tires. my 89 4x4 burb with 3.73s and tiny stock tires gets 18mpg at 65 to 70 mph. my wifes 2000 cherokee with 4 banger a 5 speed and 4.10 gears gets 21 to 22 around town and 27 to 29 on highway on the few trips we have taken it on. i drove a 05 1500 silverado loaner with a 5.3 in it a few weeks ago for a few days and it had 3.42 gears and it was a dog on the highway in od and used about as much gas while i had it as my k3500 did which weighed more. in your case i am guessing you had a 318 or 360 which tends to be more efficent at lower rpms unlike the 4.7 we are talking about here. -- posted using the http//www.autoforumz.com interface at authors request articles individually checked for conformance to usenet standards topic url http//www.autoforumz.com/dodge-help-mod-2001-1500-quadcab-towing-22-motorboat-ftopict124505.html visit topic url to contact author reg. reqd. report abuse http//www.autoforumz.com/eform.phpp=611908 .

exactly. 3 repairs on same item...cant be fixed....its a lemon. -- laszlo almasi carolina watercraft works inc. in the battle between money and love money will always triumph i may have to change my signature......on second thought i was right the first time. why dont you just go after them under the lemon law and get your money back -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving my 2000 ram 1500 dodge truck was a great runner. no problems at all. good gas mileage. just a damn fine truck. then the service engine light came on. took it shottenkirk dodge on broadway in quincy il. the service manager said the code said it was a transmission problem. i have a drive train warranty so no problem. three months later. when i went to get it the first time and started home it would shift 1st to 2nd ok but when you went to slow down there was this clunk like it was trying to shift up or down. then when i went to speed up from 40 mph it started to shudder. after several times in the dealership sometimes for a couple of days sometimes for a week. they would change the shift patterns so the shudder would move up paqst 60 mph. but when they did that it screwed up the shift pattern. 1st to 2nd ok. 2nd to 3rd ok. 3rd wouldnt shift in 4th until 53 mph and at 52 mph it would downshift to 3rd. after 3 months shottenkirk of quincy il. gave me my keys and said they couldnt fix it. so i drove it that way for 3 or 4 months when another dodge dealer little jess dodge of edina missouri contacted me about a new truck. when i told him about my problem with shottenkirk of quincy il little jess said they could fix the problem. 6 solid weeks later he sent the truck to another dealer and told me i could go there and pick it up. now the truck is worse than before. little jess said they rebuilt the transmission completely. now from 1st to 2nd up to 15mph. but in 2nd you have to go faster than 35 mph for it to shift into 3rd and at 30 mph it will downsfit to 2nd. it will stay into third until 45 mph and under 40 mph it will downshift to 3rd. it will not shift into 4th until 53 mph and under 53 mph it will downshift to 3rd. when it is in 2nd and you speed up to say 32 or better and you let up on the gas it will clank and shift into 3rd and if you give it any gas it will downshift back to 2nd. the gas mileage has gone down 20%. i contacted dodge company and they said they cant get into any disputes and refuse answer any emails. i guess i will end up trading back to a chevy. .
