nice and easy not out to race with it how hard are you driving it -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving i just bought a 2005 power wagon 2500. i have only driven it 200 km on the highway now since i got it a few days ago and the computer says i am getting 11.8 mpg. this sounds really bad. my window sticker did not show an epa rating and when i called the dealer they just said that it will get the same as the 1500 with hemi with to me sounds like a quit bullshit answer. anybody else out there driving a 2500 ram with hemi that can tell me what kind of city/hwy gas mileage i can expect i imagine that the gas mileage will increase after break in period of the truck right i am also planning on towing a 5500 lb dry travel trailer across country with it and was hoping for 10 mpg with that but if it is 11.8 mpg with no load i am concerned ! .

how about 3% / 2% = 1.5% yep 100% correct. - okay... i think this hole is deep enough.... tom - whats .03 divided by .02 hint it aint .015. no shit tom like i said a million times its 1.5. i understand what he is saying and was trying to prove a point one that i believe i clearly did. when he thinks he is right regardless of what i say he fights on and here he is doing exactly that. as harry potter would say mischief managed. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving .

on wed 22 jun 2005 174139 gmt tbone t-bonenospam@nc.rr.com wrote 3 / 2 = 1.5 thats correct. and when you can disprove that then you win and until then it is just fuzzy math. while 3 may be 150% more than 2 thats incorrect. it can be said that 3 is 150% of 2 or that 3 is 50% greater than 2. lol and i made that same argument more than once my mistake. 3 / 2 is still only 1.5 regardless of the units attached to those numbers. correct. 1.5 is the same as 150%. the rule is actually simple a percent is 1/100. i know that but a percentage of a percentage is just fuzzy math. i never said that the math was incorrect which is something that gary just doesnt seem to get. it is called fuzzy math because it doesnt always accurately represent a given situation. small percentages can sometimes reflect huge numeric differences and microscopic differences can be reflected with huge percentages both of which can deceive the person reading them especially if the percentage is all that they see. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving .

is the t-case lubed when the driveshaft spins or when the input shaft spins i know on the np231 in my jeep if i flat tow with the rear driveshaft connected ill burn up my t-case because the output shaft bearing wont be lubed but will be spinning thanks to the driveshaft. carl we want to put a tow bar on the front of our 98 3500 dually 5.9l 5 speedto help us speed up the equipment moves between fields. we would like to tow it behind one of the grain trucks or tractor depending what is being moved. someone said we should see if this is possible with this truck and i thought why not ask the experts...so here i am. can it be done in the middle of the kansas wheat harvest marilyn .
