Q: laugh all you want dude but others have already posted in this thread that they and people tha they know have gotten rid of them and avoided them because of their tendency to fish tail on wet roads in corners. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving first dont believe everything that you read especially when it sounds as off the wall as that. second dont repeat it and expect other people to believe it. third rotflafao anyway. fourth if there was a chance that someone really believed this i would think they would be smart enough to realize that what really caused the back end to break loose was their heavy foot on the gas pedal. denny .

only one b ill bet you think the govt is only acting in your best interest dont you unless youre the lead sheep the views always the same. hi ive just bought a 04 ram 1500 quad cab and am very happy with it. i have an 8 year old daughter who goes everywhere with me and i need to disconnect the passenger side air bag to make it legal and safe for her to ride in the front with me. the quad cabs dont have the key switch in the dash supposed to stick the kids in the back seat. i think i found the plug above the glove box yellow with an orange plastic tab but am unsure about messing around with it and getting the bag to function with my noggin right in front of it. is this the right plug how do the air bags actuate thanks merlin. merlin if you are so concerned for her safety as you appear to be then put her in the back seat where she will be safer. quit trying to beat the safety system in the truck. if something happens i hope nothing does and she gets hurt in the front seat you will alway wonder if it was partially or fully your fault for not having her in the back where she belongs. -- fmb only one b in fmb .

if that is the case then statistically there should be a 50 / 50 chance of either axle driving under similar conditions and that is not the case. it is the case. what you seem to forget is that the driveshaft torque is part of the conditions. it is also a condition that can be countered by various means. the fact remains under equal not similar equal traction conditions neither axle is favored. any way you look at it the right axle is favored and is why it is thought of as the drive axle. pure bullshit. max anvils dont kill cartoon characters cartoon characters kill cartoon characters. .

mike wrote finally got a day off and went to change the filters in my furnace. trane natural gas. the furnace was running when i went into the util. closet so i went back and turned it off via the thermostat lux tx500 programmable. it had been running for about 5 minutes. well i get the filters in and go to turn it back on and it wont do anything. i waited and waited and it would never kick back on. i even switched it over to ac and even to continuous fan and still nothing. the panel opening for the filters is on the opposite side of the wiring on the furnace so i dont see how i could have tripped up anything or pulled any wires loose. i thought maybe the digital thermostat might have went bad. i even switched it back over to the old mechanical thermostat and it still wont do anything. any hvac people have any ideas on what to look for checked the fuse box..nothing tripped check the glass fuse on the units power box..its good. pilot light is on. what else is there wife says its cold... check the front panels to ensure they are on properly and flush. i think there is a cutout switch that trips if they are not positioned just right. you beat me to it. i know of this one through personal experience. ;- jeff jerry .

heck if the front seat is soooooooo dangerous for an 8 year old why would it be safe for an adult if thats the case i wouldnt let my wife ride in front either. in fact why should the driver be put at risk then it sounds like it would be safer to be a back seat driver. be realistic here. there are advantages to safety being in the back but riding in the front is not an automatic death sentence either. geeze get a grip already. by the tone of your response you are right some people shouldnt have kids. other parents dont know how to properly raise kids to be civil and mature adults. your parents seem to fit one of those categories. on thu 12 feb 2004 235117 -0600 yonzie yonzie@mac.com wrote c6swb.173828$rj7.1100132@twister.tampabay.rr.com mmc merlinuxo@yahoo.com wrote hi ive just bought a 04 ram 1500 quad cab and am very happy with it. i have an 8 year old daughter who goes everywhere with me and i need to disconnect the passenger side air bag to make it legal and safe for her to ride in the front with me. the quad cabs dont have the key switch in the dash supposed to stick the kids in the back seat. i think i found the plug above the glove box yellow with an orange plastic tab but am unsure about messing around with it and getting the bag to function with my noggin right in front of it. is this the right plug how do the air bags actuate thanks merlin. so what is more fucking important your 8 year old daughter safely in the back seat or putting her at risk in the front seat. some people shouldnt have kids dale .

i checked my brakes about 3 months ago and found my right drum was metal to metal but the left side had more than 50% of the lining left. i replaced the shoes on both sides and 1 drum . shortly after doing this it felt like the right side was applying before the left side. it has now gotten to the point that right wheel is locking up. the brakes have been adjusted 3 times and i know thats not the problem. also the brake pedal is very touchy. i think it has something to do with the abs but im not a mechanic so thats just a guess. does any body have any idea what my problem is thanks in advance for any comments. .
