Q: i believe it was one of the generals in the area that suggested something interesting. he said we should have coalition soldiers only on the border to keep out the iranians syrians external al qaeda etc. then let the iraqi govt sink or swim with their army and police. i thought it has promise. at least our people wouldnt be at so much risk out on the streets in close quarters with the terrorists. bill it has been super slow sooo........ heres a subject that is getting more and more attention. sort of a 3 part thing. if we are to keep a large number of troops in the sand do we bring back the draft or do we continue to cycle the same troops through there tour after tour or do we pick up our troops and get out roy pick tehm up and pull out! it wasnt our war to begin with. this is turning in to another korea and bosnia .

well looking at the 07 numbers because thats all i have handy yes the axle is rated at 5200lbs. the curb weight on the front axle is a little over 4400lbs. whats the total weight of the truck not gvrw but dry weight a 9ft. plow setup goes a little under 900lbs. meyer shows 890lbs. for their 9 diamond edge model. the front axles overloaded and you havent even gotten in the truck yet. well figure this....that axle was originally rated at 3800 or so and the rating changed without any real change in design if any at all. plus the 01s and 02s had a cummins w/plow option iirc. ymmv. -- 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 the front axle on mine is rated at 5200 lbs the engine is only 1100 lbs. plenty of room for a plow. tires would be more of a concern due to weight ratings. well looking at the 07 numbers because thats all i have handy yes the axle is rated at 5200lbs. the curb weight on the front axle is a little over 4400lbs. a 9ft. plow setup goes a little under 900lbs. meyer shows 890lbs. for their 9 diamond edge model. the front axles overloaded and you havent even gotten in the truck yet. .

hello all i bought a 1998 dodge ram 1500 4x4 quad cab recently. which came with lt 285 75r16 all terrain t/a ko tires after driving for a couple of months i noticed tires looked low. when i had the oil changed i asked them to check the tire pressure. they told me that my tires where properly inflated at 35 psi. i went by local tire company to have them checked again as they still looked low. the guy there told me he added 2 psi to each front tire back rears were fine. tires actually say 65 psi. when i questioned him about this he told me they were fine. i understand that the door panel of the truck says 35-40 psi however these are not original tires they are oversized. could someone shed some light here thanks in advance gina fierro .

it would be their only fuck up since going with the cummins in 88. no there have been others. giving up the bragging rights of being top dog in terms of torque to the duramax is one. what about reliability and fuel economy not to mention design seen the specs on the new cummins the chrysler/daimler merger is one. thats not a failure of truck design or capability. the rampant lift pump failure issue is one. rampant according to whom yeah failures were frequent on the modified trucks but even then it wasnt rampant. the lift pump failures that did occur were in early isb models and the problem was cured easily. i keep hearing something about the #5 cylinder. so is the cummins the best engine or are you busy proving your claim that you bought for the cummins a poor decision dropping the jeep cherokee for the liberty is one. hardly. the cherokee was an old model that had run its course. to stimulate sales a bigger vehicle had to be built for the now middle aged cherokee owners and a smaller vehicle had to be built for the new generation of yuppies. its called marketing. the only vehicles not subject to obsolesence are the mustang corvette cj and pickup trucks. killing the tj is one. see above. going with a v6 is one carries far more significance in jeep circles than truck groups. hardly. this jeep thing you hin at is rubbish... we do understand we dont fucking care. those of us in the trucks also like the inline six..... have you seen the cummins design lately there are plenty of fuck-ups im only saying this will be their daimler/chryslers not just dodge biggest to date. if we followed your criteria for fuckups ford and gm would be in worse shape than dc..... wait they are. i guess dc didnt fuck up all that badly. the kcar was a big hit certianly but it died as fast as it rose. sadly... you are wrong. the k platform served for over ten years finding itself under sports cars luxury cars and minivans. restyle was great but surely you dont think it would have been as successful with a foreign diesel yes i do. the cummins wasnt a huge success in the early version and made its biggest impact in the 98.5 and newer models. styling was the major impact on the marketplace as evidenced by gm and ford copycat design in the late 90s. ford has been trying to get their hands on the cummins for some time. ford has had the cummins in the 450 and up models for some time. for years ive felt that ford builds the best truck on the market and putting the best engine in the market will be the boost ford needs to get back on top. it hasnt worked yet theyve had the 450 and up market to themselves gm and dodge dont market a pickup in that segment. if ford isnt successful there with a cummins its hard to say where they would be. sure but that has less to do with sales than marketing. just the fact that it says cummins on it sells engines. todays duramax is consistantly getting better mileage than todays cummins and its producing more power with less weight yet its popularity is dying. wonder why its in the design not the marketing. your example proves my point and kills your argument. german diesels are better designed than hybrid japanese americans. german diesels can and will beat the duramax at its own game should they be selected to compete in the same marketplace. sure they are arrogant but... the german designed diesel is a very good product. most anything german is a good product but again we have marketing to joe six-pack. at the prices of todays pickups joe sixpak has a degree or two owns his own busines or works for a large corporation and knows a bit about who makes a good engine. the cummins is very popular but the replacement if there is one will be at least as good regardless of popularity. being as good and selling as good are two different matters entirely. true and my point is.... the german diesel will sell as well. sadly deiter zeitsche is far from being an elitist german doesnt matter much as he is perceived as such. joe six-pack doesnt like arrogant foreigners and this is critical if youre trying to get joe six-pack to give you his money. see my comments on joe sixpack and his level of sophistication above. dr. z is the only reason chrysler and dc as a corporation are still operating successfully today. i dont agree. the top sellers were in place since long before the merger. sadly you are again wrong. take a closer look at what happened after the merger and take note of the huge dip in profits dc saw from is chrysler corporation. a huge house cleaning was done and jergen schremp unwittingly put his replacement in the ceo chair. dz then returned the early 90s philosophy to chrysler and new designs began to flow forth as well as a rise in sales. iow dz is what kept chrysler from being in the same boat as gm and ford today. agreed but......were back to joe

i bought the best truck and the best engine on the market. im not so hot on the newer dodges and ford engineering has been shit for years. the more i see the more id be inclined to buy a used 2000 ram cummins if i won the lottery. if dodge goes to a mercedes diesel i might be tempted to take the weight advantage of the cummins for the power/weight ratio of the mercedes equalling great mpg for the power. the only thing that matches a good american diesel is a german engineered diesel. but the dodge/mercedes diesel would be a second truck not a replacement for the 00 in the driveway. -- 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 on sun 15 oct 2006 182530 -0600 nathan in montana im@home.noway wrote would you oil burners stick with mopar or look at both i didnt buy a dodge i bought a cummins. when chrysler replaces the cummins with a mercedes ill have a new king ranch cummins. thats what i was wondering nate... ive heard a few folks say that they didnt buy a dodge they bought a cummins with a dodge wrapped around it.. mac https//home.comcast.net/mac.davis https//home.comcast.net/mac.davis/woodstuff.htm .

dropping the cummins will be their biggest fuck up to date. it would be their only fuck up since going with the cummins in 88. since then the truck line has consistantly grown in sales until the recent fuel pricing. cummins saved dodge from bankruptcy and has kept them alive since. rubbish. chrysler was saved from bankruptcy by the k-car. restyling the pickup was what made the trucks sell more since 5 years of cummins availability 88-93 did jack shit for sales volume. this is typical german arrogance....afterall their product simply must be superior to anything we could make..... their diesels have consistantly made more power for the weight of the engine. these two key numbers are what makes a vehicle get better fuel economy and performance. sure they are arrogant but... the german designed diesel is a very good product. and it will be their undoing. they just dont understand the american consumer the cummins is very popular but the replacement if there is one will be at least as good regardless of popularity. such as thinking commercials of an elitist german answering consumer questions actually appeals to joe six-pack. sadly deiter zeitsche is far from being an elitist german about as far as lee iacocca was from being an elitist italian immigrant. certainly both were upper class and well off but neither was elitist. both realize that to sell cars one has to market an affordable product to the masses. dr. z is the only reason chrysler and dc as a corporation are still operating successfully today. want proof look no further than the board of directors who dumped jergen schremp in favor of zeitsche because deutsch bank demanded some one who knew what they were doing be promoted. chrysler was still making a profit when mercedes started heading for the tank several years ago. you want an elitist german his name was jergen schremp. you want elitist americans look at the execs that sold chrysler to the krauts in the first place. how about really elitist..... like fomoco dumping 10000 white collar workers to cut costs..... how the fuck do you hire 10000 extra people who are not directly involved in production easy..... you elevate your cronies so they too can enjoy the upper class payscale. how about arrogant..... like gm deciding that in order for delphi to be able to proceed without rolling bankruptcy all the workers had to take 55% pay cuts to $10 an hour. yeah thats down from $24 an hour. exactly who do you figure would take that deal willingly face it at this point chrysler is the only american manufacturer that is running anywhere near the black ink and isnt scurrying for solutions to insolvancy. they must understand something about the american consumer. -- 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 thats what i was wondering nate... ive heard a few folks say that they didnt buy a dodge they bought a cummins with a dodge wrapped around it.. dropping the cummins will be their biggest fuck up to date. cummins saved dodge from bankruptcy and has kept them alive since. this is typical german arrogance....afterall their product simply must be superior to anything we could make.....and it will be their undoing. they just dont understand the american consumer such as thinking commercials of an elitist german answering consumer questions actually appeals to joe six-pack. -- nathan in montana http//concealedcarryforum.com http//1911tech.com http//glockcarry.com .

99 ram 1500 im thinking of swapping the circuits for the power windows and power seat so that the windows go up and down and the seat does not move with the ignition off by running short jumper wires between the respective circuit breakers in the drivers side fuse/junction block location. they are both 20 amp breakers. the way i envision the setup is to have the circuit breakers out of their normal location with jumper wires running to the junction block connections. neither circuit breaker has ever tripped but i have 2 questions... 1 do the ciruit breakers need to be mounted to function - that is do they need to press against a stationary mount in order to trip 2 the power window circuit output from the junction block is 14 gauge wire and the power seat is16 gauge. i assume the window circuit is larger to handle more heat because it is usually used more often and for a longer period of time or both windows may be operated at the same time and contact maintained after the windows hits a stop either up or down. does anyone know if the circuit suppling power to the breaks in the junction block is the same size i realize the difference between 14 and 16 gauge is small but it is a difference. -- it is the soldier not the reporter who has given use freedom of press it is the soldier not the poet who has given us freedom of speech it is the soldier not the campus organizer who gives us freedom to demonstrate it is the soldier who salutes the flag who serves beneath the flag and whose coffin is draped by the flag and who allows the protestor to burn the flag. --father dennis edward obrien .
