given that only the cummins trucks have a vent and that the gasoline engines havent got a vent but a positive crankcase ventilation system its reasonable to assume that the op has a diesel. since the pcv system wont leak oil externally....... but you and snohead knew that right -- 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 skippy ... on may 23 944 pm tom lawrence tnloaswpraemnmcie...@earthlink.net wrote either you have a bad or plugged pcv valve pcv.... on a diesel.... now thats funny. what i want to know is what told you its a diesel the op !! tell me - what do you think would happen if you introduced crankcase vapors - oil mist - to the intake of a running diesel well idiot we are waiting heres all i see from the op i have a 99 dodge ram 3500 and it has just started leaking oil from the blow by vent valve. any ideas on what to do thank you! melody -- this explains it all!!! he was home schooled and his mommy made his ges diploma for him out of needle point to go with his pin head and needle dick. -- punkin .

seeing as we have people that are varied maybe one of you can answer this. what do you think is a reasonable deposit on a house valued around 400k i dont want to get tie up with a idiot that is messing around. im of the mind that if you are serious then put up some serious money. does 25-30k seem unreasonable if so what is a reasonable expectation i think that i can fairly say that you have a snowballs chance in hell of getting anything like that. $1500 is the going rate for a deposit on contract so unless your house is the only one in the area and worth about twice what you are asking for it you will get no offers. who in their right mind is going to tie up 25-30k on a house that they know nothing about and even if they did how is it going to help you the buyer could still be an idiot messing around that happens to have a lot of cash lying around and could still waste your time with unrealistic expectations after inspection and then drop the deal and get his money back anyway. sometimes shit happens that may prevent the buyer form being able to close so why would they risk so much money would you i dont know of any responsible realtor that would allow their client to ever do such a thing as the risk is way to high. good point tom. just that sue has put a deadline on selling the house regards her staying up here and teaching another year. i just dont want to be up here another year. so im trying to find a way to really elminate the serious buyers from the dreamers. the problem is that there is no solid way to do that. as someone suggested put in a pre-qualification requirement. this will eliminate a good portion of the dreamers. i dont want to have to pass on offers because im sitting waitng from some guy who is scratching his ass and jerking me around. i understand that as well. what you might want to consider is hiring a home inspector of your own to inspect your house right now. make sure that he does a thorough job and then sit with him / her and go over it. see what he feels are real problems that other inspectors will jump on and that need to be addressed. then show it to your realtor and ask what on there he / she sees as real sticking points on getting the sale that also need to be addressed and take care of them. this entire house recieved a total remodleing everything that could be was replaced was. all with the proper permits im not at all concerned about a inspection. the house is like new. then you can decide what else you are willing to deal with and what markdowns you may need to make for what you dont do. nothing is going to speed up the sale faster than the right house for the right price and you do have some control on both of those points. very true. when we set the sale price i asked the realtor to come up with a price that the should move at. he sold my other house a couple of years ago in about 30 days. hes real good with his estimates. it should prove interesting to be a interesting exercise. in a few weeks we will be back in fl and wont really be involved with it. then again i may be putting to much pressure on the whole thing in my. desire to get the hell out of here this year. i cant blame you for wanting to move on but applying too much pressure can actually slow down the process as it may scare away serious buyers. i would talk to your realtor and ask them what the average rate of sales in your area is. at least then you would have some idea of where you stand. done that. well then it looks like you are ready to go and this is a good time of year for it as well. good luck with the sale. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving .

nell terrapin@coolbits.net wrote wow and to think that detroit has been doing it wrong all these years. you should patent your idea as quickly as possible. this discovery of yours is going to rock the world. wish i could claim credit nell but i read it in an rv magazine decades ago. kind of funny that its still to you. yup. the notion that more electrical power can be gotten from two 6 volt batteries compared to two 12 volt batteries -is- to me. whoa! hold on nell did anybody say anything about more electrical power there isnt more nell why did you think so there are still twelve cells still the same size same volts same amps same power. but now each cell is blissfully and chemically together with itself as one in the same case instead of being divided into pieces. now not only the electrons but also the +ions can be happy. let me ask you something; if one cell in your two 6 volt in series battery invention goes open circuit will the vehicle 4 way flashers work without clever design no way! and theyre of great importance with a disabled vehicle. so let me ask you can you imagine a solution its clear nell you never learned a whole lot about electricity. this conversation about simple batteries tells me that. -- this explains it all!!! he was home schooled and his mommy made his ges diploma for him out of needle point to go with his pin head and needle dick. -- punkin .

on wed 23 may 2007 110054 -0700 beryl terrapin@coolbits.net wrote throwing away an available gear ratio seems backward to me. a continually variable transmission cvt would have to be the best. that gives you infinite ratios and the engine can operate at the speed where its most efficient. this is ture but if you want to save gas with a manual you do not want to accelrate quickly or skip 4th. if anything you want to get out of 1st and second quickly without taching it out. especailly first. do not slip clutch much either airplanes use constant speed props to do that. add throttle and the propeller blades twist to take a bigger bite out of the air while engine speed remains the same. airplanes do it mainly to maintain peak hp rpm while accelerating and climbing out as air desinty and speed changes. when you go for max economy on a piston powered airplane with a constant speed prop you actually reduce prop rpm too along with manifold pressure. take a bigger bite at a lower rpm because the prop consumes power slicing through the air too and in a econ cruise you can save fuel by reducing prop rpm. ----------------- thesnoman.com .
