Tire size / transmission question

From : davenport

Q: i know there are two camps on this. however from the first time i became aware of them over 10 years ago i formed the opinion that they increase safety - especially on undivided highways. since drls are the law in canada i reasoned that vehicles built for the us market especially canadian built should be easily retrofitted using off-the-shelf chrysler parts. thanks for your input! on tue 24 may 2005 210005 -0400 ns mhdevaux@rcn.com wrote hi i have 00 & 05 us model grand caravans. the 00 is us built while the 05 is canadian buit. i would like to enable the facory drls using off-the-shelf chrysler parts - if possible. as a last resort i would consider an aftermarket retrofit kit although i would be concerned about any negative interaction with the vehicles bcms. has anyone been sucessful with this thanks! ============== i sure have not....i wnet the other way and disabled the darn things on my gm products... bob g .

when set up properly you dont have to think about the controller nate.. it does the thinking for you when you step on the brake pedal. my concern is readjusting as the load changes. id like to be able to send my wife on pickup runs and trust that shell be able to readjust the controller based on the weight of each particular load. i suppose this is where the strength of the brake smart system would come in. ill probably change over to their system if they ever get caught up on their production/shipping. -- nathan w. collier http//7slotgrille.com http//utilityoffroad.com .

i really wanted to order the brake smart brake controller from http//brakesmart.net but several days after emailing them i got a response saying that if i ordered now i could possibly get a unit within 6-8 weeks which is unacceptable. im currently considering two readily available units and would like feedback on both. 1- prodigy http//www.tekonsha.com/prodig.html it comes highly recommended from many in this group. i like to boost feature and feel that unless its over-rated marketing fluff it would be a good feature to have. 2- jordan http//jordanbrake.com i like that it reads in amps and not volts tells you if the brakes are actually working. both look great in their websites but id like informed opinions on both before i buy. thanks! -- nathan w. collier http//7slotgrille.com http//utilityoffroad.com ive used all of them over my 54 years on this planet. the prodigy gets my vote. its easy to install and setup practically nothing to do anyways and let her rip...for a hundred and twenty bucks its hard to go wrong. amen on the prodigy! i have had one since they first came out and have recommended the unit to many of this ng... mac is one i think. i also have many friends in our rv club with the prodigy and i have yet to find someone who doesnt like it. the boost feature is great as tom said. get the prodigy wiring harness and you will be installed wired and ready to go in 15 minutes! mike you recommended it to me too...fyi yup now i remember.. i think nate will be happy when he gets his. mike -- moparman---remove clothes to reply! --scud coordinates 32.61204 north 96.92993 west-- .

anyone know why a 2004 5.7 hemi 4x4 slt engine would cut out during normal turning. i have had this happen twice in two months. first time i was stopped and then made a left turn and made it into the lane and then the engine cut out on me and i was lucky that the traffic in front had stopped. put it in park and started the engine and drove off with no problems. second time sort of the same i was in a car park and was turning into my space and the engine cut out. started fine and no problems afterwards. anyone else experience this or know what maybe wrong i know what the dealer will say if i bring it that they cannot reproduce the problem but ill have them do an inspection anyway just because its a safety issue and they should not charge me. thanks .
