need help with 1990 dodge d150

Q: yea at that particular time which with a little creative tuning has nothing to do with what is normally comming out of the tailpipe every other day of the year. ok...... really it can be temporarily tuned to burn fuel far more efficiently than it actually does under normal conditions which is dishonest now isnt it burning fuel efficiently means its burning correctly which also means its at optimum power output for the amount of fuel input. say thats sounds like a performance objective.....maybe the engine is tuned to pass a sniffer and its making its best power lol best power and maximum power usually have nothing to do with each other. also and unfortunately with current emissions standards in many cases the engine must be tuned leaner than maximum efficiency to pass. if you are worried that someone will modify after being checked with a sniffer all the other tests and inspections suffer the same flaw. i am not worried about it but it does happen and while it can still happen with many of the current inspections many of the more recent ones make it much more difficult to do especially the odbii one. bullshit you arent worried about it both your previous statements say exactly that you are thinking someone will cheat on a sniffer test. talk about spin you say twice that someone could tune to pass the test and retune for the rest of the year. then when i say someone could do it to any test you say you arent worried about people cheating. wtf decide what you think then write ok jeese talk about spin. there is a big difference between worrying about something and knowing that it can and does happen. like i said many times comprehension is not as big thing with you. talk about mastery of the language or the lack of it in your case. at least with the sniff test we know the car is meeting the emissions regs not just looking like it will. it means no such thing unless of course the person owning the car is honest and brings the car for inspection tuned the way it is the rest of the time. gee there is that honesty thing again. gee theres that im not worried about it but i keep mentioning it thing again. yea and whats your point oh thats right as usual you dont have one. people can see what is happening without worrying about it. face it if its a matter of tuning and we have proof that the car is not putting out excessive emissions its probably not far from that the rest of the year. lol if that were true there would be no reason for these improved tests. actually the odbii test is designed to save time over the rolling sniffer test and it just happens to be a little harder to fool. its certainly better than a it looks like itll pass but we have no idea whats coming out of the tailpipe. what does this even mean if the computer is functioning normally and the sensors are sending the correct data to it the engine has to be at or near its lowest possible emissions. if a sensor fails the computer is usually quick to notice it and flag a code but even if it didnt it still reports sensor outputs and any competent tester can see if the output of something like the tps doesnt look right. if the computer itself fails the engine in most cases doesnt run at all so there is no it looks like it will pass bs about it. in that scenario we have to worry about cheating but we also have to worry that the stuff isnt working even though its there. actually there is much less chance of that with the odbii tests than a sniffer test where the engine could simply be rigged to pass the test but you know that right i can see your argument going circular so ill let you blabber away at this point. ive made my point even if you are too dense to understand it. no you realised that once again you have no valid argument and are tyring to save face as usual. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving .

ball joints were replaced under a recall. the previous owner should have taken care of that if theyre at all competent. i have heard about any other issues. my 02 has been great. no probs. hello i am looking real close at a 2001 slt plus with 24000mi and a 2002 r/t with 36000mi. i am hearing alot about ball joint rear end transmission ac and brake problems with these suvs is there any truth or are they just internet rumors. can anyone let me know what i should look for before i step up and buy one. thanks if the r/t is in good shape and you dont mind spending some money on gas its a blast to drive. its got the 360 and i believe a 3.92 limited slip rear as well. joe black 03 dakota 5.9 r/t cc calypso green 93 mustang 5.0 hatch with a few goodies .
