I really appreciate all of the help here but it seems to be costing me lots of dough.. still confused, but nothing new here...,, now go pick on someone else...
CWtheman will be disappointed in your treatment of the tires. You better post this in the tire forum. I don't think he roams down here.
Oh, and that rebar. We will need to know if it is domestic or foreign steel. We will need a Positive Material Identification to ensure it does not exceed FMIA regulations. (Foreign Material in Antennas). A trace history from the steel mill is required as well. Iron ore source is not needed at this time, but retain the records for any future audit. Per federal regulations you understand.

This thread is awesome. Maybe you all can help me with the issue I am having with my truck. Under lite acceleration everything is normal but when I really get after it the engine makes this roaring sound and if I'm at a stop and do it my traction control lite comes on. I can't figure this out at all. When its doing this i feel myself being pushed into the seat and my fuel economy goes down. Any ideas.....

When I see a advertisement about a live band, I always have to chuckle a little, I thought they were always alive, is there such a thing as a dead band? I guess there might be if they were no good or a no show... LOL

If you're having problems trying to find a metric Crescent wrench, Amazon has them. They are actually $4 cheaper than SAE wrenches in the 6"/150mm size

Howdy All;

Strange ... thought the metrics would only be $0.62 to the dollar ...

Is that for the right hand or left hand wrench? It says in manual don't use a right hand wrench on a left-handed nut. Could get cross threaded....6

Right and left hand don't have anything to do with the wrench, it's which hand you hold the wrench in.

Has anyone put the double stainless piston pullback springs along with the chrome plaged air difuser switching valve? How do you set pull back timing at part throttle?

I'm thinking he was standing on his head looking upside down.

Wow, what great ideas. This is a super forum. For my part I increased my MPG significantly when I swapped out my Montana's electric brake fluid filter for an after market one. Can't remember the name brand of the one I put in though, sorry.
