Question re Combustion Chamber Cleaner

From : Annonymous

Q: if you ignore the fact that every agency involved mandates reviews into how the job could have been done better. and this translates into a congressional investigation how it doesnt and i never said it was. but the fact is that every emergency response agency be it the local fire dept. or the state police or the national guard etc. all do at least a debriefing to determine where they can improve. all of this is a matte of public record if done properly. and will all be shuffled away never to be seen again as usually happens. also greatr if you ignore the fact that a number of different promises of investigation have been made by individuals on all sides of the issue. lol and which ones are actually going to be listened to. please give a list of who and what they are investigating. obviously they are investigating the entire set of events or does that fact elude you http//www.wkbn.com/global/story.asps=3819562&nav=81al2qer http//www.8austin.com/content/topstories/default.asparid=145153 http//www.woodtv.com/global/story.asps=3821624 http//www.npr.org/templates/story/story.phpstoryid=4835851&ft=1&f=3 http//www.allheadline.com/articles/7000067288 http//lieberman.senate.gov/room/release.cfmid=245277 http//.yahoo.com/s/nm/20050902/plnm/weatherkatrinasenatedc need more all of those are congressional leaders looking to delve into the events leading to the disaster. take note both parties are represented. but if you actually read most of these links you will see that this panel will be more partisan than desired and have limited ability which will probably make it completely ineffective pretty much like every investigation that has occured under this administration. this is a prime example of how you ignore facts. no this is a prime example of where you try and turn complete bs and typical smoke and mirrors into facts. lol yeah facts that seem to be littered all over the fuckin net. until it actually happens it is not fact just speculation. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving .

anyone know the year when dodge fixed the serpentine belt problem by that i mean this belt slipping off when wet i have a 2000 70k for mile. it never once happened to me and i drove in rain plenty of times. i had the vehicle in last week for an unrelated repair and had the belt replaced also the tensioner at the dealer recomendation. today it is raining and the belt is off. they gave me a song and dance about it but eventually agreed to tow my disabled vehicle so they could have a look. during this conversation is when he told me about this problem. i advised him i never once had this problem and it seems very coincidental that the belt comes off the first rainy day since last week when they replaced it. any help or guidance here one be greatly appreciated. dave lee .

fred wrote hi group! i have a 1999 2wd ctd and using it as a tractor for my 28 foot 8000lb 5th wheel. getting tired of turning on the heater fan in heavy traffic or when backing up the unit to keep the transmission coolant temperature down around 200f. does anyone in the group know of any auxillliary electric fan mods for these trucks tia fred have you considered a more agressive clutch for fan and a more agressive fan as well the same thing that can work for a gas motor can work for a oil burner too. i have a 2000 k3500 gas truck and it has a hd 4 core radiator clutch and a 10 bladed fan and it is the coolest running truck i have ever had no matter what i do it never gets above 200 even idling in traffic on a hot day with a/c on while towing. given your units age the clucth fan could be getting a bit weak too. -- 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-electric-fan-gen-cummins-ftopict138172.html visit topic url to contact author reg. reqd. report abuse http//www.autoforumz.com/eform.phpp=669558 .

truck has just had batteries replaced and cable connectors replaced. problem still persists that after glow plug light goes out i engage the starter and the voltage drops to @8 volts and a clicking sound is heard. i can continue to try to start it and it will start after a few times. it started a while back but has gotten progressively worse. pep boys checked the electricals twice and said everything is fine including the starter. what are they missing dont know if you checked the cable lug at the starter. anyway there is a rubber boot to keep all the crap off the connection it has a drain hole that gets plugged with crap and corrosion sets in. roy how does that make the voltage drop to 8 do you think he measured it at the starter bolt could have i guess... bet that starter terminal gets hot plenty fast when this happens al .

miracle stuff. probably premature to jump for joy but i did the cc cleaner today and after a 4-hr soak ran the piss out of it. no skeeters for miles... ; initially after first start-up and several hard revs while belching clouds of blue smoke we picked up a whole host of new codes; p0300 p0306 p0308 jeeze. by the way the engine really sounds neat with the air cleaner off. whoumpa..whoumpa... racecar! put the air cleaner back on and took it out on the tollway for a 25-mile hard run $4 bux worth of tolls and multiple wot upshifts bseg came back into town on the side streets w/multiple stoplights heavy slow traffic with lots of idling waiting for lights to change etc. no codes! praise the lord and pass the beer. arguably too soon to say for sure but it looks promising. the truck certainly seems to be running better. film at 11. .

wrote i have a 2001 dodge ram 1500 ext. cab 4x4. black with gray interior. dash cracked front to back in several locations. had to purchase the top dash cover from dodge. called several dealerships and all but 1 said i couldnt just buy the top piece. they said i had to buy the whole dash and it would cost over $800. finally 1 dealership sold me just the top panel. it cost $194.00. the dealer was weinberg dodge in grandview mo. phone number 816.763.6800. i switched the top panels. it was pretty easy to replace. i did have to remove the passenger air bag. be sure and disconnect battery for at least 30 minutes before removing air bag. the part number is 5gk45rc8ab. willywally i also have the top dash cover i have purchased. can you give me some advise on replacing this part -- 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-1999-ram-dashboard-ftopict57222.html visit topic url to contact author reg. reqd. report abuse http//www.autoforumz.com/eform.phpp=669457 .

suddenly without warning kluter exclaimed 13-sep-05 602 pm recently the blower motor for my a/c went out. when i turn the a/c switch on i hear it kick on but nothing is blowing from the vents. im assuming this means that my heater and defroster will not work either. i plan to check the blower motor and blower motor resistor but am not sure where these are located. can anyone provide a diagram for me or at least point me in the right direction thanks. welcome to the club! most likely its the blower motor resistor; quite a common problem with our 2001 daks apparently. ive been through two so far. do a google on this group for blower motor resistor and youll get plenty of info. it looks pretty easy to replace its located just under the dash on the passenger side just to the left. it looks like youll have to remove the ductwork though to get at it easily awkward location. someone here did provide me a diagram but i cant seem to find it now. also theres some discussion that its actually the blower motor drawing too much current thats blowing the resistor so if it happens to my truck again and i can still get the part ill probably replace the motor as well as the resistor. jmc .

fine but none of them had any idea what was making it do it everything else was tight and the alignment was perfect. i finally had it replaced anyway and it totally cured it. it did seem ok when i pushed on it after it was replaced. later on the service writer told me they had a bunch of them come in after me with identical symptoms at about 65-75k on them. bdk . 222 305725 isave.5149$jp.491042@twister.southeast.rr.com tbone wrote who said that bush is to blame or completely to blame for this. please name even one time where he ever said that he may have been wrong and took the blame for it without even including anything that has to do with this disaster. i guess that so far he has been the countries only perfect president. why is your rants close to 100% directed towards bush and cabinet lol it isnt. that is just your paranoia and spin. there are actually two discussions happening here. one is finding out what went wrong here and who if anybody is to blame for it and the other is the fact that the bush administration never takes responsibility or accountability for anything well anything negative that is. why so blatently in one single direction with your whining sorry dud but you are the one who is whining and distorting what you see. oh i know you briefly mentioned local authorities in a fleeting moment so you can say its not just at bush...but look tbone your main concern clearly is with regards to bush. you wont admit that though. i wont admit it because it simply is not true. the biggest failure that i see from bush himself here was in his image of leadership or complete lack of. also take notice how rebuild contract are already going out to bush buddies and chennies old company. chenny will be a billionair when he gets out of office at tax payer expense. oh i kinda figured youd mention this. heck whatever dems put in the you jump right on it and echo it here. ya we should have put it out for bid and delayed help further so your ilk would be happy. sorry pinhead but i didnt said this. perhaps you should learn how to follow a thread. we are a long fucking way away from really rebuilding anything short of the refineries so there would be no delay is setting up a fair and valid bid. sorry miles your spin is simply lame anymore. they are already there bonehead! geez. no delay...lol. besides clinton is the one that chose haliburton for contingency projects like that in kuwait and iraq as well as nationaly but im sure you already knew that. the other issue is that this doesnt set precedent it its actions at all. its just that dems/liberals need anything they can get to rant about in their own self destruction of hatred. sorry miles but the real hatred is on the right which is obvious by the way you are responding to this post. what the heck are dems for anyways we know what they are against. heck just a few weeks ago it was a dem senator that blatenly asked other dem leaders what the dems are really for and that its time they actually stood for something. someday they might. read above and btw wht exactly does the right stand for besides me myself and i. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving .

snoman wrote the idea is find out what if anything went wrong make people not holding up to their responsibility all of them accountable for their actions and make changes to prevent what went wrong from happening again. that wont happen. see politics get in the middle. its all about scoring points for the next election. name an investigation that ever was truly unbiased and not for political reasons...not many of them. not many is not the same thing as none and it seems that the delayed ones are the ones that become nothing more than scoring points for the next election. what do you expect they probaly voted for him too. if bush is a true master of anything it is of dodging the blame. lol a disaster happens and your type can only think about how to blame bush. thats whats truely important to you right now. who said that bush is to blame or completely to blame for this. please name even one time where he ever said that he may have been wrong and took the blame for it without even including anything that has to do with this disaster. i guess that so far he has been the countries only perfect president. also take notice how rebuild contract are already going out to bush buddies and chennies old company. chenny will be a billionair when he gets out of office at tax payer expense. lol ya we should put it up for bid and delay the help even further. we are a long fucking way away from really rebuilding anything short of the refineries so there would be no delay is setting up a fair and valid bid. sorry miles your spin is simply lame anymore. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving .

tbone wrote more rubbish. i think that democratic governor should have her ass handed to her but she is not alone in the blame department and i think that even you know that. now if no blame at all comes to the current administration then it would be complete bs and pretty much business as usual. you are more interested in hanging someone that actually helping the victims of katrina. thats where your interest is it would seem. fix the problem...meaning work to help the individuals. when thats done then worry about pointing fingers. until then your rants do one thing...slow the help down because everyones running around pointing fingers at each other looking for political points. poor spin miles. it is you that will cry foul if any blame falls on the current administration and decisions made by them that in part lead up to this. you want political fallout i want those that are in need to be helped. i would say that you vote right down the party line every time without even reading the names never mind what they actually stand for. then you would be wrong but thats not unusual for you. .

my 1990 caravan le just started dieing today. the engine just shuts off. if i select park turn the key completely off and restart it will start right up for a bit. then it will just shut off randomly. i can go anywhere from 10 miles to 5 feet. doesnt matter. the fuel pump was replaced about 5 years ago. could it be the fuel pump relay i purchased a new one for $12.00 but i cannot find where it goes. both my chiltons and haynes manuals dont list it anywhere. any ideas on this it was running warm for a few days but i just replaced the radiator and t-stat today. temp is on the cool side now. now it kills. augh. -dave .
