sure it does. it brings forth the torque it received from the tc which brings forth the torque it received from the engine. transmitts and brings forth mean pretty much the same thing here. nope. not at all. the converter converts and the transmission transmits nothing more nothing less. your usual grab at semantics to save your sorry knowledge base isnt working. sorry max but you are the true master od semantics. in order for the converter to even get its name it has to convert or produce something. that is one error for you. the transmission also both transmitts but also converts and changes which also has it producing something thats two wrong for you. nope not the same thing at all. the convertor converts really what does it convert and what does it convert it to gary went over this with you. i read it you should have too. and converting is just another way of producing something. thanks for agreeing with me. sure it does. it brings forth the torque from the engine and brings forth more of it than what it received so in a way it grew builds makes or p r o d u c e s more torque than it receives. nope. cant do that. the engine can but the trans cannot put out more than it gets in. lol neither can an engine or anything else for that matter or you would have perpetual motion. while it cant put out more than it gets in it can use one thing to produce something else and in this case it consumes rpm to produce more torque. consumes rpm geez... never heard of that one before.... for the record rpm is merely a measurement of velocity rpms have zero energy. lol actually it is a measurement of angular velocity and anything that has a velocity contains energy which can be consumed or used to produce something else. rpms are just a unit of measure. you can jump on the semantics if you want but it really doesnt do much for your credibility. methinks you need to hit the library for some serious research. ditto -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving .

it wouldnt but what does this have to do with anything. these two numbers will always = 1.5 when divided this way regardless or the units or the size unless like you did ya put a % in back of it. at that point youve written .015 not 1.5 your problem is that you dont understand relationships between the numbers. and while i hesitate to explain this because i know you will not understand ill give it a shot. if i have 100 objects on the counter and i toss 2 of them in the can ive gotten rid of 2%. if i now toss out 3 of another set of 100 ive gotten rid of 3%. now i go into the trash and i find 2 objects in one can and 3 in the other. by percentage there are 50% more objects in the can with 3 objects than the can with 2 objects. you are hung up on the objects on the counter when its the stuff in the can you should be worried about. remember its not the dirt on the filter thats harming the engine its the dirt that gets through. yup its 50% more objects in the can just like its 50% more dirt getting through. -- max give a man a match and he is warm for a short while. light him on fire and he is warm for the rest of his life. how about 3% / 2% = 1.5% just like 3 / 2 = 1.5 not 150. you are truly math impaired sorry gary that would be you. since when does 0.03 / 0.02 = 0.015 it wouldnt but what does this have to do with anything. these two numbers will always = 1.5 when divided this way regardless or the units or the size provided that they are the same iow .0000003 / .0000002 = 1.5 just like 3000000 / 2000000 = 1.5. the reason that it is fuzzy math is because you are playing with the units to make the equation say what you want it too rather than the actual value of 1.5 iow fuzzy math. do the math boy and stop making an ass of yourself i did and the answer is always 1.5 and btw thanks for proving my point on two levels. 1. you dont stop posting when you think that you are right 2. this really is nothing but fuzzy math. care to try again i dont have to try again you just made my point far my forcefully than i ever could have ! thanks for playing chump ! back to name calling i see. how did max put it oh yea the first sign of a losing argument. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving .

on wed 22 jun 2005 145431 gmt tbone t-bonenospam@nc.rr.com wrote how about 3% / 2% = 1.5% just like 3 / 2 = 1.5 not 150. you are truly math impaired sorry gary that would be you. since when does 0.03 / 0.02 = 0.015 it wouldnt but what does this have to do with anything. these two numbers will always = 1.5 when divided this way regardless or the units or the size provided that they are the same iow .0000003 / .0000002 = 1.5 just like 3000000 / 2000000 = 1.5. the reason that it is fuzzy math is because you are playing with the units to make the equation say what you want it too rather than the actual value of 1.5 iow fuzzy math. perhaps a better defense would be the battery must have been low in my slide rule. just let it go and dr. greasemonkey will think he is the superior intellect. then he will disapear for awhile while he reads thousands of posts looking for a mistake or typo so he can do it all over again and give his selfesteem a boost. beekeep .

hahahaha a lever by definition is a shaft or solid length of material attached to some pivot point or fulcrum moron. http//www.webster-dictionary.org/definition/lever um its a shaft ok.... mech. a rigid piece which is capable of turning about one point or axis the fulcrum and in which are two or more other points where forces are applied; - used for transmitting and modifying force and motion. specif. a bar of metal wood or other rigid substance used to exert a pressure or sustain a weight at one point of its length by receiving a force or power at a second and turning at a third on a fixed point called a fulcrum. it is usually named as the first of the six mechanical powers and is of three kinds according as either the fulcrum f the weight w or the power p respectively is situated between the other two as in the figures. show us the word shaft in that definition. the rigid piece could be a shaft but i see that you are probably referring to the shaft as the fulcrum. i never said a lever did not have a pivot point. in fact the lever does have a pivot point but that pivot point is not the lever it is the pivot point. dont confuse the two. actually max a lever is a simple machine and the pivot point is what makes the rigid object a lever and it simply cannot exist without it. a force on the lever causes it to rotate on its pivot point and that maxi is torque. http//www.physics.uoguelph.ca/tutorials/torque/q.torque.intro.html notice how the drawing depicts the lever as attached to a shaft sorta like i said it had to be. hahahahahaha you just dont understand models. notice that they call it a pivot point not a shaft because it could be anything that allows the arm to rotate or pivot. the model is only concerned with the torque being created at the pivot point from a force or group of forces on a single moment arm. if you are using a lever you would create another moment arm and calculate the torque there as well and then combine the values to get the net result. back to school with you. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving .

the guy who rebuilt the carb for me said that the reason the truck took so long to crank when it had been sitting on an incline was that old fuel pumps lose their seal allowing the gas to slowly run back down toward the tank. i dont know how much pressure i have; when i checked the flow i held a regular plastic cup and the stream of fuel was hitting the center from just outside the edge 2-3 inches. anything else i need to check .

and i expected nothing less than name calling by you. btw guys i get 5 points for the little mind comment. who is at the top of the leader board right now -- max give a man a match and he is warm for a short while. light him on fire and he is warm for the rest of his life. only in your little mind max but i expected nothing less. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving doesnt appear to matter what the subject of the thread is you are incorrect on both counts. -- max give a man a match and he is warm for a short while. light him on fire and he is warm for the rest of his life. sorry max but the percentage thing isnt the subject of the thread. but hey ill admit that i wasnt paying attention and got the percentage thing wrong as far as the 3% / 2% thing wrong big deal. the fuzzy math thing is still correct and is also not the subject of the thread at least not the intended subject. the actual subject was garys attack on a poster about being accurate on the inability of production of torque from a transmission and then went on to prove himself wrong. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving as is your defeat in the actual thread subject. tbone wins!!! he gets the tbone math answer as his share of the goods.....so lets see.... 3% / 2% = 1.5% gary will get the real math share at..... 3% / 2% = 150% winner tbone.... wait um..... tbone ya wanna calculate that again -- max give a man a match and he is warm for a short while. light him on fire and he is warm for the rest of his life. ignoramus13822 ignoramus13822@nospam.13822.invalid wrote in message on wed 22 jun 2005 174139 gmt tbone t-bonenospam@nc.rr.com wrote 3 / 2 = 1.5 thats correct. and when you can disprove that then you win and until then it is just fuzzy math. while 3 may be 150% more than 2 thats incorrect. it can be said that 3 is 150% of 2 or that 3 is 50% greater than 2. lol and i made that same argument more than once my mistake. 3 / 2 is still only 1.5 regardless of the units attached to those numbers. correct. 1.5 is the same as 150%. the rule is actually simple a percent is 1/100. i know that but a percentage of a percentage is just fuzzy math. i never said that the math was incorrect which is something that gary just doesnt seem to get. it is called fuzzy math because it doesnt always accurately represent a given situation. small percentages can sometimes reflect huge numeric differences and microscopic differences can be reflected with huge percentages both of which can deceive the person reading them especially if the percentage is all that they see. no you wrote 3% / 2% = 1.5 % you really need to stop digging its not helping and you really need to stop proving my point. like i said when you think that you are right you fight like hell even to the point of starting all new threads on the subject. where are the threads or even responses on the origional quadcab thread point made conversation over. your surrender is noted as is your defeat in the actual thread subject. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving .

ill call this a cautionary tale. the jack for my 2002 ram 1500 just broke while in use. its second use. get yourself a decent bottle jack and stash it in the cab somewhere. i will not replace this jack with another identical dodge jack its a poor design weak and hard to use. thankfully i was on my driveway when it broke not on the side of the road. it rolled very slowly forward - i was behind it. still damn scary! it came to rest with the hub on the inside rim of the spare and didnt bend anything. dont have to buy a brake rotor! my neighbor has a floor jack i can borrow. i know i need to get my own! .
