Q: testing complete. here the results sonar headlight tested at the oem plug battery shows 12v no tenths on meter low beam pos. with battery ground shows 10v with harness ground 10v. oem headlight low beam pos with battery ground shows 11v harness ground shows 11v. harness ground shows 12v with pos at battery. now than when the low beams are on i am getting a glow from the high beam indicator. high beams and low beams show 5v with the same testing points as above. i am assuming that the pos circuit runs thru the headlight switch and the dimmer switch. i am planning to directly ground the headlights to the batterys 2 group 27 deep cycle than installing relays on the pos side with pos directly from battery and using the oem wires for triggers. what do you think -- billy 1995 ram 2500 4x4 cummins .

you should have gotten this instead http//www.hughesengines.com/partdetail.asppartid=11698 -- ------------------------------------------ laszlo almasi ----cool toys formerly carolina watercraft works ----mack daddy trailers ----ice angels i got a fel-pro intake manifold gasket set part #ms 95392-1 for my 1998 5.9 liter dodge 4x4. the plenum is leaking oil into the manifold. my haynes repair manual tells me the intake gaskets should be marked left & right they are not. does the smooth side of the gasket go toward the cylinder also it says to put a light coat of rtv sealant on the cylinder head side of the intake before installing the gaskets. as these are the composite gaskets i believe they are impregnated with silicone which makes me think i shouldnt need to use rtv. they have a blue slick coating over the metal center of the gaskets. i have not started tearing it down yet but would like to get this done tomorrow 9-25-06. any help would be greatly appreciated. .

with a pair of gloves on.... nothing worse than gear lube on paw fur.... oh but there is.... gear lube in your face/mouth/nostrils. back when i was workspace-challenged and did my vehicle work on a creeper in my driveway i was attempting to remove a rear diff cover. i had most of the bolts removed and a gasket scraper tapped underneath the cover. as i pulled on the gasket scraper much the same way you would pull on a screwdriver to tighten an axle adjuster nut i pulled myself on the creeper towards the axle just as the silicone decided to let go and popped the cover up. not fun.... not fun at all. i smelled gear oil for the next several days. but with you it cleans right off maybe with a little elbow grease. could you immagine the stained pink fur! .

hi everyone. my husband is having a problem opening the rear door on his truck. the bottom latch will not disengage so the door will not open. he removed the inside door panel checked the rod that goes down to the lever arm. everything looks ok but the door wont open.he says that he thinks its something to do with the bottom latch mechanism which is mounted to the under side of the door but sice he cant open the door he cant get to it. he unbolted the screws that hold the latch mechanism to the underside of the door but since the door will not open there is no way to remove the screws completly.he previously had the same problm a few years ago when the truck was still under warranty and the dealer fixed it. it is no longer under warranty. is there a way to open the rear door so that he can get to the bottom latch mechanism thats is mounted to the underside of the rear door to fix or replace it thanks for your help. .

kenseth pushed his luck like he did at the earlier dover race but it did not play out this time. at lest gordon and johnson arent in victory lane! at 80 laps kenseth crew told him fuel wasnt a issue. he shoulda pited earlier anyway. gordon and johnson do seem to be on their ass a bit. like him or hate gordon does drive his ass off. cnat stand him or the hendricks motorsports crew. i am a dei and rcr fan thru and thru! though there are a few drivers from other teams that i like and follow. me either but ya cant take it away from him as a driver. ive followed kenseth for years back to a arca race i think. like his style most of the time you dont know hes on the track. roy ill agree with you but only to a point. i dont think that he would have the career and the sucess he has now if he had started with a different team. not saying that he would have been a failure or anything. hendrick sure gives him the equipment to do it. wait should i have disgreed with you bg not until later in the week.g have you taken a look at the seattle ny murder seattle has them down about 30 nothing at the 1/2. roy .

tom lawrence wrote okay - couple of things. if youre stopped brake applied transmission in drive and you let off the brake will the truck move or do you have to give it some throttle to get it to move is this when the jerk occurs can you avoid the jerking if you very slowly apply throttle if i am stopped and brake applied let off the brake and it will creep. if it creeps long enough then it will not jerk. it will definately lessen the jerk after it creeps. is there any adjustments that can be made thank you .

no roy the situation with budd has nothing to do with it. my point i thought should have been easy to follow. i disagreed with some one based off my knowledge and expertise on a subject a subject i have been involved with since 91 and as usual the derogatory insults and comments start not a rebuttal from the person i disagreed with with factual information. i then stood up for myself. understood. but yet its all ok as long as it comes from some in here but not others. i dont agree with all the postings made by budd about the religious stuff but i also dont agree with the way everyone here has jumped on him and jump on others as they see fit just because. i think history may have a bunch to do with it. is what it is i guess. can you elaborate roy come on tom lets hear from you the same thing that you got on budd about to me now. i guess you are starting to show your colors too. i suppose in your eyes its ok for anyone to start with the attacks and derogator comments to anyone that disagrees with something they say larry is the situation with budd the cause for your unusual angernot really the word im looking for roy .
