max dodge wrote and ooowheee its got glow plugs its still a v8 where an inline six is better. since when is glow plugs bad one way or anoher you have to get some heat in a oil burner to light the wick in cold weather. also but what rule of logic is a inline design always better than a v engine a compact v8 does rev smoother and is shorter so it allows for shorter hood or less intrusion into passanger compartment firewall. above 2500 rpm the dmax is a lot smoother than the cummins because though the cummins will rev to there and beyond it do not feel happy about it because the basic engine was designed from day one bore stroke and balance wise for operation at about 2200 rpm or less. which engine i would choice would depend on what i planned to do with it because they both have pluses and minuses and i have issues with a 1400 lb motor cummins in a p/u anyway. -- posted using the http//www.autoforumz.com interface at authors request articles individually checked for conformance to usenet standards topic url http//www.autoforumz.com/dodge-ram-cummins-diesel-killer-ftopict138912.html visit topic url to contact author reg. reqd. report abuse http//www.autoforumz.com/eform.phpp=673115 .

i had the front brakes done on my 02 durango a couple of months ago. about 2-3 weeks ago i was hearing what sounded like a rattling coming from the drivers side. this was when i went over bumps driving around town. i took it to my mechanic and they adjusted some dust shields and wheel well shields in the front tire areas and i thought that would take care of it. however the next day i heard the noise again called my mechanic and they suggested i take it back to my dealer which is what i did. they found that some clips were missing on the left front side that hold the pad in place. i took it back to my mechanic again since they did the brakes originally and they put the clips in place. since then ive had no problems. i dont know if this is the same for you but its something to inquire about. hello i replaced the front break on my 2002 dodge grant caravan with a new pair of pads with the rotors tuned last weekend. i checked and everything seemed to be done properly. but i noticed that when i applied the break especially when going downhill a kind of rattling noise came from one side of the break. this happened only when the break was applied somewhat heavily. i double-checked calipers rotors etc. and their installation and couldnt find nothing wrong. i would appreciate any advice or insights. thanks. - p .

just because they called themselves socialists doesnt mean they were. a poly sci prof once explained it to us as a big circle with a gap. on the right side of the gap is fascism on the left socialism. the nazis went all the way to the left promising great things to be shared with all germans. when they finally took power they jumped the gap into fascism. this was easily done because the public felt that it was necessary in order to have all the things promised come to pass. oddly this same thing happened in the ussr which called itself communist. the basic flaw in both situations was that in order to achive a truly socialist state what ever leader brought it about must step down. the ussr failed because true communism makes no allowances for supporting a military or for any structure to control that military. this was compounded by leadership that was unwilling to step aside or lower its importance. in the case of present day france germany england and canada all of which are socialist democratic republics in one form or another they maintain a successful balance by changing leadership. -- max give a man a match and he is warm for a short while. light him on fire and he is warm for the rest of his life. craig@metronet.com wrote once more braniac the federal government could do nothing until the n.o. mayor and la governor requested it i already acknowledged that idiot. now please explain how bush doing nothing in wash dc is better than bush doing nothing in crawford image of leadership. is this really so hard to understand i work from home some of the time but when something goes wrong my presence is required if nothing else to show that the problem is being handled. femas headquarters are in washington along with the guy bush appointed to head it michael brown. nothing like face-to-face ass chewing to get the ball rolling eh regarding your link laffinattheleft.blo ... i wont read that trash because by its very address marks it a right wing cover-my-eyes-to-all-of-the-facts-if-they-put-the-republican/conservative-view-in-a-negative-light ... just like i wouldnt read a laffinattheright ... website for the same reason. imo if youre too far to the right ... youre a nazi. too far to the left and youre a communist. both sides are equally mis-informed and dangerous. so where do you stand brainiac craig c. hate to reanimate a dead thread but nazis were socialist last time i checked that was a left leaning ideology.................. just because they called themselves socialists doesnt mean they were. they were basically as right wing as they get with some odd leftish stuff thrown in. .

case closed... i took the truck to san diego dodge today and had the transmission pan dropped filter changed and bands adjusted. then he hooked it up to a tranny machine flushed it and recirculated in new fluid. grand total- $ 265.00 ouch.... i thought this was the best thing to do since it had never seen a service. i feel better about my upcoming trips to northern ca and wa state. thank for the tips +advice. .
