Q: install a pyrometer. since this only happens under a heavy load maybe you are overfueling the engine. the pyro will help you find out. too much fuel causes lots of heat that the cooling system cant get rid of. you dont mention what speeds you are going what gear overdrive what are the highway conditions etc. ive had a 1999 dodge ram cummins for 5 years now and have noticed that whenever i pull my 25 camper in temperatures above 93 degrees f. it overheats. is this a common problem i bought the dodge so i can pull my camper in any temperatures and obviously the dodge isnt cutting in. any recommendations chevy ford .

there are a lot of scams and a lot of snake oil out there but one thing i did try years ago did actually work. unfortunately the parts i used were not designed for such use or in the environment i was using them and so after a few days they failed. but during that time gas on the test car my daily commuter which was going about 80 miles per day went from 22-23 to 25. i had only gotten 25 a couple of times before - long flat non-stop highway trips at 55-60 mph. this was tested in mostly city driving. however since it involved helping things atomize quicker/better and the efi/tbi/tpi all does that just as well today there isnt any point in me trying to build one again. so occasionally you do find some of these that do work. you just want to not get too involved in expense looking for them or you could buy more gas than you will ever save. steve wrote with the cost of crude oil hitting $90 a barrel this is something you cant pass up! this is not a scam and can save you real money. a quick down and dirty of how this works magnets on the fuel line or the turbonator behind the air cleaner lololololol .

how about leaving tubes a and b open to the atmosphere would there be a difference in the heights of the mercury in the tubes i assumed both tubes vented to air. if water is rapidly pumped through the main tube its pressure will be high as compared to the air which means that it will look for any exit point the venturi will lower the pressure thus higher in a than in b seemed like the correct answer an interesting experiment would be to fill the system with mercury make sure that tubes a and b were over 33 inches long cap tubes a and b and ensure that the main tube had a reservoir at least 33 inches high. the level of the mercury in tubes a and b and the main reservoir open to the atmosphere should be the same. then turn on the pump and measure the height of the mercury in tubes a b and the main reservoir. i guess that the level in tube a would drop the level in b would drop more that in a and the main reservoir would rise. fmb wrote frank will wrote why is it too bad they changed the question instead of changing the answer its an easy one now nothing special about it. what do you think about question 44 with the water rising higher in tube a or b i think that tube b will suck air. iirc the answer they wanted was something like water in a would rise higher than b which would be correct even if b was sucking air. i also think b would suck air as that is how an in-line foam eductor is designed not to suck air but foam concentrate. if water is pumped rapidly through the pipe as shown it will rise higher in tube a than in tube b higher in tube b than in tube a in tube a only in tube b only |a| |b| | | | | | || | -- -- / i answered in tube a only and got it wrong. its like the vacuum apparatus we used in chemistry lab. always bothered me to watch that water go right down the drain. http//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/aspirator .

frank will wrote ok when i checked out the test it had the triangles so i dont know what it looked like before. looking at what you drew using standard keyboard symbols it seems to me that box b is 3 times the distance from the fulcrum compared to box a. wouldnt that make box b 1/3 the weight 100kg it would if b was 3 times the distance. but its 5 times. thats assuming that the beam has no mass. the beam is centered on the fulcrum. im new to groups but know a little about fixed width versus preportional width fonts so i cut and pasted your picture into a fixed width font program and it looked the same to me. i apologize if im not getting the picture. as i see it the left side of box a aligns with the 4th . in other words there seem to be 3 units to the left of box a. each of the beam is one unit. box a covers two there are four more to the left of a. box b also covers two and there are four to the left of b. at any rate as i see your picture its the same as the test with the triangles. they made the triangles fit the old answer rather than change the answer to fit the old boxes. too bad. i must admit it was a fun test. if it hadnt been a multiple choice test i might have missed the mutliple pulley question. fortunately while trying to reconcile my answer to one of the choices i found the view larger image option and it made sense i dont want to give away the answer to anyone else who may try the test. beryl wrote frank will wrote wtf are you talking about tom lawrence wrote i got a 94... i wish i knew which ones were wrong. you can review the answers and it shows you which were incorrect. i missed one but ive got an argument. it was the one that asked which would take the least force lifting the weight with no pulleys with one pulley at a 90 angle or with two pulleys one at a 90 pull the other with the rope hitting it on a tangent. i answered the one with no pulleys because of the added drag the pulleys would introduce. technically im right - but they wanted the answer theyre all the same. hmph.... then you missed question 31 too. theres no correct answer. i sent the site a note about the error. they changed the question. used to be two boxes now two triangles and standing on their pointy ends so its clear where the force is applied to the horizontal beam. the correct answer previously with the boxes was 60kg. that answer wasnt among the choices. question 31 square boxes 2 units in width. box a occupies first boxwidth space left of fulcrum. box b occupies third boxwidth space right of fulcrum. | | | | |a | |b | / / if box a weighs 300 kg how much does box b weigh 50 kg 100 kg 150 kg 300 kg .

with the cost of crude oil hitting $90 a barrel this is something you cant pass up! this is not a scam and can save you real money. a quick down and dirty of how this works 1st - by using this product engine efficiency is gained. you will see 7% to 14% increases in your gas milage. http//www.saveongasmormpg.myffi.biz/ 2nd - no longer use the high grade of gasoline. this in itself saves quite a bit of money since 87 octane is alot cheaper than 92. once your engine is conditioned to the formula which only takes a little while you can start using the cheap gas. http//www.saveongasmormpg.myffi.biz/ 3rd - even if you do not buy my product i have prepared a special tips and secrets to saving on mpg without my product! i believe in this product so much that if you use it and follow the 23 tips i outline below you will save a fortune over the coming year! even if you do not use the product remember that following these 23 simple tips makes for a huge money saver as well! i am looking out for the rest of us because i too am tired of paying almost 4 dollars a gallon! it is ridiculous and until we can finally get off of gasoline there looks to be no end in site to the rising of oil prices! 4th - earn extra income by becoming a reseller of this fantastic product! sign up on my webpage to become a reseller. http//www.saveongasmormpg.myffi.biz/ http//www.saveongasmormpg.myffi.biz/ as promised even if you dont buy my product at least follow these helpful tips and secrets. it will help us all save in the long run! 1. anticipate use your brakes less and dont accelerate quickly. look far down the road ahead even if far means half a city block. get into position for turn-lanes smoothly and early so that you dont have to accelerate to get in front of traffic. remember that the guy who leaves the stoplight the quickest also pays more at the pump. anticipate stops or slow-downs ahead and take your foot off the gas try to coast much more than you brake. see a long train at the rr crossing ahead get your foot off the gas immediately. you can idle forward in drive for a long way without braking for 30% less fuel than sitting in drive and nearly the same fuel use as sitting in park. remember any additional distance you coast will save fuel and extend your brake-pad life. 2. minimize idling and idle smart engines only need 10 to 30 seconds for warm-up and idling your engine for more than a minute typically costs more fuel than re-starting it. so avoid the drive-thru lines at the bank and the fast-food shop instead of sitting in line park and go inside. but when you must idle with an automatic transmission put the transmission in neutral or park while youre waiting this will cut your fuel usage at idle by 15-35% depending on the vehicle. if you have a manual transmission dont use the clutch to keep from rolling back - use the brake. this will save fuel and extend your clutch life. 3. use cruise control. its proven to save fuel. but heres a secret... its not just for cruising. using the resume button on your cruise control can be a handy compromise to provide reasonable acceleration times that dont irritate drivers behind you without wasting excessive fuel. 4. overdrive and gear selection. if you have an automatic with overdrive use the overdrive. if you have a manual transmission shift early to keep engine rpms lower and be sure to use the highest gear for highway cruising. 5. slow down. as you increase speed above 60 mph wind resistance starts increasing dramatically as a percentage of total fuel consumption. estimates are that every mile over 60 mph costs you 1% in fuel economy. in other words when you speed youre paying more at the gas pump. 6. watch your tire choice. replacing your tires/wheels with wider and/or taller ones may look awesome but keep in mind that your choice could have a 1 to 3% penalty in fuel economy... or even more in extreme cases like monster truck tires/wheels. 7. carefully consider your route and the time of day traffic flow is a huge factor. for example see the picture to the right. those vehicle-following-distances are typical of traffic in many large cities. if this highway traffic is stop-and-go fuel economy will be bad. on the other extreme if the traffic is moving smoothly and fast at 60 - 80 mph then your fuel economy is going to be superb those rushing vehicles create a jet-stream of air which dramatically reduces your wind-drag losses - 10 to 30% improvements are possible. for maximum fuel economy follow a larger vehicle and use your cruise control just bump speed up/down 1 mph to adjust. also keep in mind the wind direction if theres a strong wind blowing in from the right and you drive in the right lane you get no break in wind resistance. 8. plan and combine errands to make fewer trips. think like your great-grandparents did.

is the squeal while it is running or just when shutting down only a just-installed serpentine belt will not squeak for a week or so... then it will squeak because of the inertia of the accessories when the compression of the engine stops the engine. the squeak is pretty normal unless it happens when the engine is running. .

im thinking there is a series of adjustments or add-ons that need to be done together to form a cohesive power upgrade without any harmful effects. absolutely correct... adding power requires modification to several different components. for example tweak injection pump and upgrade injectors to get more flow... need a better lift pump to deliver the extra fuel need a better turbo to build more boost to add to that extra fuel need a better intake/intercooler to cool down the boosted intake charge need a bigger/freer-flowing exhaust to take away the extra heat/exhaust gases. powertrains need to be strengthened to deal with the extra torque. it keeps going. .

unfortunately this is a common problem especially with aluminum heads. the problem you are facing is that very likely the threads are already destroyed. if they are then the only recourse you have is to remove the head restore the threads with a helicoil and overhaul/rebuild the entire head. the large cost is the labor whether you do it or a shop does this. parts are cheap labor is expensive. my advise if you are a mechanic is to remove the head as is bring it to an automotive machine shop and have then check the valves seats and guides. replace or regrind as necessary check the springs for set or cracking reassemble with new seals. at the same time they will check the deck for straightness and retap or replace all sparkplug threads. this machine shop service is not expensive because they have all the tools and machines required. the whole head can be done within 3 hours 4 hours tops if all actions must be taken. very often helicoiling a sparkplug thread can only be done from the combustion chamber side because of thread access limitations of the retapping tools or the coil staking tool. when reassembling the engine always use antiseize on both the headbolts and sparkplugs infact every bolt if threaded into aluminum. steve 1997 dakota 3.9l w/ 170k miles. sorry in advance; for me to explain this thoroughly will require a lengthy post. two years ago i did my 150k mile and most recent complete tuneup and when i went to remove spark plug #5 at that time it just about wouldnt budge. i dont recall having any such spark plug problems before... but for some reason at 150k miles that #5 was a bear to remove. i did get it out and to my surprise the threads on the plug looked ok w/ no extra metal or chewed threads. then when i went to put the new plug in with anti-seize it wouldnt finger tighten past about 1 or 2 revolutions. i carefully tightened it the rest of the way with a socket and it was rough going but i got it tightened and never had anymore problems with it... until now. over the past few days ive noticed a definite misfire under acceleration but it isnt constant... it comes and goes. well today i pulled a p0305 #5 misfire code. i put new wires on and it made no difference. i inspected inside the distributor cap and everything looks uniform ie #5 doesnt look any different than the others. so i hesitantly tried to remove plug #5 and just like last time its really hard to turn. i backed it out about 1 revolution and then chickened out - it wasnt getting easier it actually started getting harder to turn. i am fairly but cannot be completely sure that i never cross- threaded it - i always finger tighten the plugs. im perplexed because the plug threads looked ok after i fought to get it out last time. ive come up with 4 potential explanations for this new misfire 1 some plug holes just become stubborn and maybe i inadvertantly damaged the plugs insulator while trying to get that new #5 installed last time and maybe its now starting to bleed voltage in a short circuit on occasion. this is my best case scenario. 2 maybe the threads did get damaged or crossed despite my finger tightening rule and despite the threads looking ok last time i had the plug out after fighting with it. rust or crud could have hitched a ride into the threads 2 tuneups ago and welded the plug in place. the idea here is that its losing compression or something due to screwed up threads. can damaged threads do that maybe time for a helicoil 3 could be coincedental. maybe injector #5 is clogged or bad. 4 could be much worse... worn or damaged valve or seat blown head gasket cracked head etc. so i suppose my question to you all is does it sound like the stuck #5 plug could be related to my new #5 misfire which if any of my 4 explanations sounds most valid any suggestions im scared stiff at the thought of trying to remove that plug right now. thank you... dakota2112 .

ok i found out the problem was the bmc does anyone know what all this controls we own a 1997 dodge grand caravan se sport 3.3l. i am having a problem with the door locks. i do not have a remote door fob for this vehicle but i suspect it can operate with one. this vehicle has the factory alarm. when using the key to unlock the doors the locks are hard to turn they jump up and down some times it takes as much as 5 mins to unlock the door and get it in not so bad in the summer but with the winter coming i could use some help with this problem. any suggestions tony .

first thing the other morning the brake warning light red one not the abs one came on and the blower wouldnt blow. when i turn the blower switch off the brake light goes off. also in reverse the reverse lights dont work and the same brake warning light goes on. i notice in the wiring diagram that the blower motor & reverse lights get power from the same point on the ignition switch. but i dont see the connection to the brake light. i assume ive got a bad connection or ground somewhere where to get started .

youre probably a little ahead of the game with the 45rfe behind the 4.7. the 46re behind the 5.9 has the concern with the od unit which went south on my co-workers 00 durango. granted he wasnt the best at maintaining the transmission and he did tow with it quite a bit. imo the big problem with the 46re was the number of clutches in the front clutch pack. behind the 5.9 three clutches isnt enough. with maintenance it should last quite a while but still isnt bullet proof. max .

1997 dakota 3.9l w/ 170k miles. sorry in advance; for me to explain this thoroughly will require a lengthy post. two years ago i did my 150k mile and most recent complete tuneup and when i went to remove spark plug #5 at that time it just about wouldnt budge. i dont recall having any such spark plug problems before... but for some reason at 150k miles that #5 was a bear to remove. i did get it out and to my surprise the threads on the plug looked ok w/ no extra metal or chewed threads. then when i went to put the new plug in with anti-seize it wouldnt finger tighten past about 1 or 2 revolutions. i carefully tightened it the rest of the way with a socket and it was rough going but i got it tightened and never had anymore problems with it... until now. over the past few days ive noticed a definite misfire under acceleration but it isnt constant... it comes and goes. well today i pulled a p0305 #5 misfire code. i put new wires on and it made no difference. i inspected inside the distributor cap and everything looks uniform ie #5 doesnt look any different than the others. so i hesitantly tried to remove plug #5 and just like last time its really hard to turn. i backed it out about 1 revolution and then chickened out - it wasnt getting easier it actually started getting harder to turn. i am fairly but cannot be completely sure that i never cross- threaded it - i always finger tighten the plugs. im perplexed because the plug threads looked ok after i fought to get it out last time. ive come up with 4 potential explanations for this new misfire 1 some plug holes just become stubborn and maybe i inadvertantly damaged the plugs insulator while trying to get that new #5 installed last time and maybe its now starting to bleed voltage in a short circuit on occasion. this is my best case scenario. 2 maybe the threads did get damaged or crossed despite my finger tightening rule and despite the threads looking ok last time i had the plug out after fighting with it. rust or crud could have hitched a ride into the threads 2 tuneups ago and welded the plug in place. the idea here is that its losing compression or something due to screwed up threads. can damaged threads do that maybe time for a helicoil 3 could be coincedental. maybe injector #5 is clogged or bad. 4 could be much worse... worn or damaged valve or seat blown head gasket cracked head etc. so i suppose my question to you all is does it sound like the stuck #5 plug could be related to my new #5 misfire which if any of my 4 explanations sounds most valid any suggestions im scared stiff at the thought of trying to remove that plug right now. thank you... dakota2112 .

seats no rear air. front end shows minor damage but nothing major. carfax shows the vehicle originally listed in michigan as a leased fleet vehicle and shows a total of 6 owners no differentiation between 1 and 4 uses same slot. perhaps lease renewal or something. overall it appears to be the cleanest of everything i drove today with exception to the 2001. brother lean in the steering wheel needs aligned probably and a very slight vibration in steering wheel at 75 mph. the 4.7 was surprisingly perky. truck has a trailer brake controller installed which means the truck did tow not necessarily a bad thing. tranny fluid appeared new. 4x4 indicator did not work dealer says 4x4 works. so far im strongly considering the 2000 durango with the 4.7 @ 87000 miles and the 2001 durango with the 4.7 @ 41000 miles and could go either way at this point. i like that the 01 has only had 1 owner and has 41000 miles on it. i like that the 00 has the third row seating as well as cloth seats instead of leather. - is there any real advantage to the 4.7 over the 5.9 both felt stronger than the 5.9s. - are there any known tranny concerns with either - is the 4x4 indicator known for going out none of the 3 different 00s i drove indicators worked. - anything else i should know or consider before purchasing thanks -- nathan in montana http//concealedcarryforum.com http//1911talk.com http//hipowertalk.com http//glockcarry.com http//p99sw99.com http//ppstalk.com http//p7talk.com . 222 339875 13hl6ehronftncc@corp.super.com http//tinyurl.com/379fuh that should keep him occupied for a few days weeks or months. beekeep it occupied me for about 10 minutes. sneaky bastards on some of those questions. i got a 90 denny i got a 94... i wish i knew which ones were wrong. mike .
