i just bought a cover for it for the winter snow and ice. but if hail is in the forecast i probably will attempt it. i will probably have to have someone else pull it back out though. the garage is off-set just slightly so it makes the situation even worse for pulling back out. i have already backed back into the gate that is between the detached garage and house with my old car. i can just see me backing straight back into the corner of the house! holy crap. lol numan if its cummins powered you could use the truck to move the house out of the way. bfg -- ---------------------------- -chris that is a funny mental image for sure! - -- tim mcbride a.k.a. numan .

so ive finished all the interior of my truck now stem to stern of the cab was sandblasted fiberglassed primed covered in thick undercoating and topped off with a nice new carpet. which brought me to the seats. the drivers side seat was trashed both the fabric and the foam - and then it dawned on me ive had a pile of black leather hiding in my closet for the last decade and i think its time to bring it to good use so im thinking black leather seats with one of those back massager/heating cushions put inside the seat before it goes back together and the most /absolute most/ soft cushy foam i can find to replace the standard foam that comes from the factory. basically you know those 100000 high end sedans with the ungodly awesome leather seats in them.. i want to make some of those for my truck. the only part of this that i need help with is figuring out how i can make it ungodly soft and squishy to sit in. 1 what specific types of foam do i use for this 2 do i use just one type of foam or do leather upholstery professionals use combinations of secret things to make the ultimate comfortable seat 3 do any of you know any sites you have bookmarked which discuss these types of questions - and can you share them with me ive done some asking around locally but aside from using sewing foam which is necessary for sewing to the leather - and then rebond foam which is not comfortable they almost always use the pre-existing factory foam and just cover the seats with the leather. which is what i dont want to do out resident seat expert mike might have some ideas. roy .

stormin mormon wrote a friend of mine has an early 90-s dodge truck. 4 wd and v-6 engine. throttle body fuel injection. sometimes it wont start when its cold. spins nice and fast but just wont catch. i was there one time when it did this. starter for a couple seconds. wait a c ouple minutes as we chat and then it fired right up. says its getting worse and the problem is worse when its cold. he replaced the ignition coil. i ws thinking cap and rotor but it runs fine after it starts. he says someone suggeste fuel pump may be going weak. any ideas what the problem might be i had a v6 ford that had the same trouble. i was to cheap to buy new parts so i cleaned the inside of the cap and the rotor with a good grease cutter dawn dishwashing detergent. problem went away -- ..bob arrived 2006 fxdi red. 1997 hd fxdwg - turbocharged stolen 11/26/05 in denver 1hd1gel10vy3200010 co license j5822z 2001 dodge dakota qc 5.9/4x4/3.92 1966 mustang coupe - daily driver 1965 ffr cobra - 427w efi damn fast. .
