Q: that is not religious content as there are no bible verses or rules mentioned. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving look who is bringing the religious content into the thread. -- budd cochran john 316-17 ephesians 28-9 romans 323 623 our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. it is wholly inadequate for the government of any other. john adams on fri 22 sep 2006 181942 -0600 budd cochran mr-d150@preciscom spam.net wrote take off the gloves when interrogating. the taliban wont be following any rules why should we because were a country whos laws were based on christianity kick butt when necessary. if the enemy is known to be in an area accept collateral damage if need be. again we dont do that because our country is based on christian beliefs. and stop listening to panty waist liberals. is that what you call christians now -- budd cochran beekeep -- posted via a free usenet account from http//www.tera.com .

azwiley1 wrote hey craig something i have noticed and has me wondering. if you are going to attempt to sway or moderate however you care to word it the discussions in here to stay only on the topic of dodge trucks how come you dont interject something in to every topic that goes off topic 1 i dont read every single thread. even if i did the occasional ot thread is normal imo. what has become abnormal is the frequency that tempers escalate over topics that are best left alone. 2 most threads that deal with politics or religion usually end up in a blood pressure explosion for one or more people including me ... in my recent past. 3 i still maintain that i am not attempting to moderate the discussion. it does not change the fact that the subject of this ng is not the war or your lack of or excessive knowledge thereof. 4 there are plenty of ngs that deal with politics and religion. why not go there to brag about your war knowledge 5 i highly doubt that *anyone* here subscribed to talk about religion or politics. as an example this topic started with and has been an off topic topic as indicated in the subject. the rcr thread started ot does not indicate that it is an ot topic in the subject line and has gone from nascar to football but no interjection to stay on topic as you see it and talk only about dodge trucks. selective moderation nope. just hoping that we can all just get along and talk about the thing we all have in common which is the reason we subscribed to this ng in the first place. i put budd in the killfile. i hope that i dont have to add you too. if memory serves your knowledge of dodge trucks has helped me and many others in the past. craig c. .

with a pair of gloves on.... nothing worse than gear lube on paw fur.... oh but there is.... gear lube in your face/mouth/nostrils. back when i was workspace-challenged and did my vehicle work on a creeper in my driveway i was attempting to remove a rear diff cover. i had most of the bolts removed and a gasket scraper tapped underneath the cover. as i pulled on the gasket scraper much the same way you would pull on a screwdriver to tighten an axle adjuster nut i pulled myself on the creeper towards the axle just as the silicone decided to let go and popped the cover up. not fun.... not fun at all. i smelled gear oil for the next several days. ah what a wonderful smell and experience. you didnt enjoy it tom bfg -- ---------------------------- -chris 05 ctd 06 liberty crd real trucks dont need spark plugs. .

o yeah lots of penetrating oil has been used and and hes tried to gently kick it open. well thats not good heres the other things they had to say about it its usally the lower latch that sticks i have to lube mine all the time. i bought mine with both door stuck. get a can of penetrating oil with the plastic straw on it and spray it in from the end as close to the latch as you can. let it soak and then yank hard on the door. good luck 1/2 can of wd-40 1 hour and about 50 really hard kicks my wife stood out side the truck holding the latch and tugging on it while i was inside kicking it like a mule and they came loose. luckily i never damaged the inside panal but i was prepared to. better keep them well lubed up for now on. thanks alot for the advice. too funny thats how i wanted to tell ya to open them but i didnt want to scare you away. there is an 8 mm bolt/nut that holds the actuating mechanism inside the quad door. when the door gets hard to open that needs locktite and retightening. be careful with the cable when you pull the door panel off mine broke and i had to buy a new cable. remove the screws that hold the handle in the door jamb then pull the handle and move it up and down to pull the rods a little extra if that doesnt work you can access the rods to the latches directly by removing the handle then pull the rods with vice grips. maybe denny or mike will have some better options for you. good luck to you. .

iggy it seems to that the lock was improperly installed. therefore the side adjuster backed off causing the ring gear to develop excessive backlash which would cause noise when taking your foot off the gas and the ring gear moved over enough to break off the improperly installed lock. i would remove the ring gear and carrier wash out the banjo with a full can of brake cleaner blow out with air. clean the ring gear bearings races with brake cleaner and air. re-install everything and previously described and you should be good. dont forget a new cover gasket. i prefer a gasket but a bead of silicone works too. i wouldnt recommend using a power washer as someone posted the water can be impossible to get out of the axle tubes and you will contaminate your new gear oil and get milky. you can try to get dodge to make the repair you have a good case but it might be easier to fix it yourself than deal with that hassle. while your at it this is a good time to install a limited slip differential ^ tony i discovered some fascinating things about where that broken piece comes from and why it fell off. it looks to me like it was improperly installed at the factory. http//igor.chudov.com/projects/automotive/drivetrain-noise-in-dodge-ram-1500-pickup/ i put pictures there of the exploded diagram of my 9.25 axle and highlighted how it should be installed. i then made very detailed pictures of what remained from the part that broke adjuster ring lock and how it looks like it was installed backwards and broke probably as i was driving home from the dealer on day 1. i want some opinions on this shit specifically - it is really wrong or am i confused - is it covered by any sort of recall or advisory given that my pickup is a 1999 pickup - did the problem with the left adjuster lock in fact could possibly cause my problems with the right outer axle bearing - just how fucked i am here can i possibly get by with just replacing the right outer axle bearing and perhaps changing the oil a couple of times and installing some rare earth magnet to collect metallic dust over the next month. your collective help has been invaluable to me and i cannot say enough to express my extreme gratitude to all contributors so far. thank you thank you thank you i .
