Q: possibly the governor pressure sensor/transducer inthe transmission my truck would rev up then bang into first sometimes but it would initially start rolling in 2nd gear. something to check. smal wrote i have always been a dodge owner most of my life there was one big ford mistake years ago which made me an even stronger dodge manwell anyway i got my current 97ram with 56000 miles on it and so far have had nothing but problems startera long hesitation when you place it in drive sometimes where it just sits like its in nuteral and yes i checked the fluid level and its ok and eventualy with a loud clunk it goes into gear finally on its own it also has that viberation at about 45 mph is when it starts almost like a front end viberation i have goodyear tires when i put it in 4wd and turn the wheel hard right or left it does make noise and seems to kinda bump along oddly the brake lines went broke between the gas tank and frame of the truck so i had to take it in to have it repaired because of the location which required it to have to be put up on a liftand funny how when i called they told me exactly where the rupture in the brake line was a defect in design which causes it to rot out there well all lines were in bad shape after 56000 miles and had to be replaced i saw the lines they were horriablethe damage $500.00 bucks now what makes me wonder is i hardly ever go off roading with it and only put about 10000 miles on it a year at best seems to me thease problems are a bit premature for the light use it gets anyone else having similar problems by the way be prepared to pay $200.000 for the cheapest starter you can get but you do get a core charge back for the old one still way over priced for a starter. smal .

budd cochran wrote i really wish someone preferably someone not a friend and not biased would take a closer look at my replies and they will see that in the reply message bodies i do not proselytize or coerce and only very carefully in an informational form mention my beliefs and then post that fact for the benefit of craig theguy beekeeper and roy so i can drop the subject and go on with what im here for answering questions. ive tried to show this but some minds are in a rut and dont want to change course ok budd here you go. i have been a member of this group since 1997. i dont always post but i read it everyday. i am not your friend and i am going just by what i have read here. budd i think you have finally lost it. i dont say this to belittle you. but i truely believe you have lost it. i say this so you wont make a further fool out of yourself. so there is your unbiased opinion. now im crawling back under my rock. bob sorry bob thats not what i asked for. what you posted is your own viewpoint about me and my beliefs. i asked for an unbiased search by someone that is not a friend or an enemy your comment shows bias about the content of my posts and replies not what you think of me as a person. budd -- posted via a free usenet account from http//www.tera.com .

on 14 sep 2006 104850 -0700 fp@odonnelldrg.com wrote i have a 2004 durango hemi and a 2004 ram 1500 hemi. when the tailpipe goes under water both vehicles start to blow steam and the engine light comes on. last week just after leaving the engine runnig while i loaded the boat - the valves started knocking really loud and now i have a hefty repair bill to reinstall new valve lifters. does anyone have any ideas why none of my other trucks have ever had this problem. you did not state is the exhaust was stock or not but i have a theory i have a theory too. my theory is that before you give anymore bs answers you should revisit all the other threads in which you have posted incorrect info answers and advice. you probably should start with the v10 thread. then move to the transmission bolts thread. im sure even you can grasp the theory. roy .

how about its a hate crime based on the words used in public forum obviously he hates what i represent christians. no... a hate crime is a crime first motivated by hate. even if he hates what you represent there was no underlying crime committed - therefore no hate crime. burning a building is a crime arson - therefore burning down a church because someone hates christians could be classified as a hate crime. telling you to shut up in a group isnt a crime. why not a hate crime is a hate crime. so you really see no difference between someone posting here hey budd - back off with the religious sermons and cold-blooded murder amazing... all that i said was an admission that others had been far more brutal than those in this group. relax tom it was a compliment of sorts for the folks in this group. was it also a compliment when you insinuated i hesitate to use the word threaten that you could have someone up on federal charges for telling you to shut up see thats my whole problem here budd. i have no problem with anything else you posted - none of it. granted i found myself getting a little exasperated at times with some of the debates that started out on some other subject and morphed into a sermon on christianity disavow it all you like - thats how a lot of it came across but i simply hit the delete key and moved on. but when someone starts throwing around statements about ill sue you ill have you arrested etc. - for something that doesnt even come close to rising to the level of a crime... i gotta admit it gets under my skin a little. then you apparently dont see my point for some reason. so be it. im done discussing this. nope - i obviously dont. well agree to disagree on this. .

so iow a vigilante group or person with no official sanction can destroy a house of worship and not be prosecuted arson... vandalism... willful destruction of property.... tresspass... hate crime... plenty of choices to prosecute under. a civil rights claim could most probably be made in those circumstances as well. but surely youre not comparing craigs words to you in this group to a firebombing of a church how about its a hate crime based on the words used in public forum obviously he hates what i represent christians. because im a christian im harrassed and called names and i wouldnt be surprised to find there is at least one person that would want to beat me up for my beliefs. if i constantly interjected myself into the conversations of others telling them how wonderful i thought vegetarianism was over and over and over again.... and someone finally told me to shove my celery stalks up my ass i should feel discriminated against for being a vegetarian tom i hope youre not accusing me of forcing my beliefs into conversations that have no religious content. i dont understand how correcting an error is forcing my way into the conversation and ive only done that a couple times when there was a misquote or mis interpretation.. again no one has actually proved i did what you said force my way into a non-religious conversation. stop and think tom the whole thing started some time back when i commented during an argument with t-bone and theguy on my beliefs because i apologized for using language i do not want to use and they began the attacks. and it really hasnt let up whether i mention my beliefs in a post or not someone drags it in or causes me to try and correct a possibly deliberatly wrong quote or misconception by themselves just to drag it out knowing i believe i must corect errors. its a hate crime and they are just bullies. as i see it youre not harrassed i quote that because i dont believe it has risen to the level of harrassment or called names simply because youre a christian. i think people get exasperated with what they perceive to be someone preaching to them.... theres a big difference there. now you hit the nail on the head. its what people in their bias percieve as happening and then refusing to admit they went overboard much more than they claim i have. what laws were the kkk members tried under tom what theyre doing is no different. again you compare the burning of a cross on someones lawn and the lynching of someone in their backyard to someone on an internet group telling you to shut up. why not a hate crime is a hate crime. im sorry budd.... your logic is severely warped here. is it crimes of hate take many forms. there are more ways to hurt people than most people realize. cussing cursing and name calling. emotional injury is as prosecutable as physical injury. if you truly believe that quote the section of the united states code that covers specifically someone in this group posting a message inviting you to shut up. dont give me this its the same thing the kkk members were prosecuted for... i want title chapter and verse. no one where you live has ever been arrested tried and convicted of stalking spousal abuse harrassment or assault/battery/maiming/murder on a person of an ethnic group religion or sexual persuasion i keep trying to drop this mess but . . . .well you look up the laws on hate crimes etc. i just want this whole mess to end. i just want to believe in my god as i understand i should. tom i appreciate your effort but i went thru worse than craig or any in here in another group. im not talking about another group!!!! for all i know someone in another group made threats against you... something that could be a criminal act. all that i said was an admission that others had been far more brutal than those in this group. relax tom it was a compliment of sorts for the folks in this group. all i can speak to is what ive observed here. craig said budd shut up! and you threatened to have him charged in a federal court. thats nothing short of ludicrous. then you apparently dont see my point for some reason. so be it. im done discussing this. budd -- posted via a free usenet account from http//www.tera.com .

roy right off the top of my head i do not think that you have the option to choose which route you want to use. spent some time today looking at both the garmin and the tom tom. i like the screen on the garmin as it seems more visible from the side and seems sharper. heres the problem i found. maybe it is just me not knowing what the hell im doingshut up dennyg anyway when trying to get from ma to fl it takes you over the gw bridge in nyc the last place you want to be at anytime. i couldnt get either one of them to use the tappen zee and the gsp. i tried to get around using all the options i could find but no joy. anybody larry chris mike........ another thought does the streets and trips have that capability mac roy roy i cant speak for the garmin or tomtom but s&t will allow you to route yourself around something you want to avoid. if it selects a route segment you dont like you can select an alternative more to your liking. i would be surprised if garmin or tomtom didnt have this feature also. s&t works great but sometimes it makes dumb decisions on routing thanks mike. i nor the salesman could get it to route around the gwb. well i could get it to take me through the tunnel which is worse. roy mike .
