Q: hi all we all know you can reverse the key on the trucks either side up but can you cut one pattern on one side of key and different pattern on other side for our other dodge and still have the key work could use one key for both trucks this way .

the driveline vibration at 65mph that has been a more than irritating is no more. over the past few days the service department had both driveshafts balanced. that removed some of it. next they did the fix that has worked for a couple of folks on the tdr. they loosened the motor mount bolts and the transmission mount moved the truck about 100 feet in each direction shut it off in neutral so there was no bind and then torqued everything down. nice and smooth now. roy .

tbone wrote what i should spend $20000 on a new hybrid so i can save a few $100 a year and feel good about sacrificing good grief. on one hand you whine and complain about us being dependant on foreign oil but on the other hand you are unwilling to do anything about it. make up your mind dude. oh geez. your logic is pure absurdity. ok how about you send me $20000 so i can buy a hybrid. youd benifit from the cleaner air. what you wont make that sacrifice too funny. absurd not at all just against your way of thinking. tell me miles what mileage do your current vehicles get lol completely untrue. i am well aware of what is going on today and we had this conversation over a year ago. at that time i was criticizing the american car companies for having their heads up their asses as usual as they were building bigger and bigger vehicles and investing nothing in hybrids or fuel efficient vehicles. development like you state is a long term goal. not a short term one. a year ago they were investing millions into more fuel efficient vehicles. they have been under development for well over a year. your short term plan is to bitch about the consumer. ya real effective plan for solving short term problems. lol if they were working on them for over a year where are they funny how the japanese manufacturers have them now and are gaining market share. looks like typical conservative short sighted thinking to me. as for bitching about the customer i am doing no such thing. i am simply stating the real problem whic you claim to agree with me on. you otoh said they were doing the right thing since there was no need or market for them and that the ones building hybrids were wasting their time and money. where do you come up with this crap i never said developing hybrids was a waste of time and money. good grief youre nuts. sure you did many times. even now you are saying that buying on is a waste of time because you will never recoup the total cost in savings on your fuel bill. the only way to get out from under these problems in both the short term and long term is conservation and looking ahead. looking ahead is the long term solution. what you said is nothing mre than short sighted idiotic thinking. you need to look toward the future to make decisions today that effect both tomorrow and into the long term future but like most conservatives you cant see past the end of your dick. iow if it doesnt bring you immediate satisfaction it isnt seen at all. conservation today sounds great. will bitching at the consumer solve short term problems hell no. you have any other short term solution other than to say consumers are wastefull and need to conserve some sort of real solution that is effective thought not. just bitch at consumers. ya thats gonna change short term problems. why is it that any time someone mentions what the problem really is you call it bitching once again i hate to burst your bubble but bitching has nothing to do with it. i am just stating the problem as what it is and the only real way to fix it. you on the other hand just want to hide the symptoms and pretend that the problem isnt there. the problem with that is just like many times in life if all you do is treat the symptoms and deny the actual problem the problem continues to grow until it is incurable. lol you said the same thing last year and look what is happening now. 6 month waits for those pipe dream hybrids and the american car companied in big trouble because they doent have anything. no they arent in trouble. the american car companies have invested millions into development that far exceeds whats currently out from foreign companies. in denial once again i see. last time i looked ford was trading under $10.00 not much for the #2 auto-maker and gm is begging with the union for medical benefit concessions and just closed another plant and then you can add the fact that gm has lost 20% of its market share. not exactly the picture of health to me there miles . you look at whats on the road rather than whats being researched and developed. because what is on the road and working is what counts. like in the stock market until you sell it you havent made a dime. besides these hybrids are not a short term solution. they arent even a long term one. theyre only part of ongoing development into longer term solutions. small tiny commuter hybrids are not a workable long term solution. they just allow a manufacture to learn and develope something better for the future. please explain exactly why they are not a short or long term solution and btw they are neither tiny or just commuter hybrids anymore. conservation is a short term solution as well. you just dont want to hear about anything that could impact your lifestyle in any way. i never said that everyone shoul
