    Cigarettes today cars tomorrow.

    Maybe Arnold needs to cut the Attorney General's budget and do lay offs at the CA Attorney Gernerals Office to save the taxpayers some money. They must have too much time on their hands to pull these stupid stunts!

    Help pick my new police car!

    Get the hemi Charger. Local op ed piece on news about the Hemi charger in County Police Dept. Officer commented it was the nicest cruiser he had been in, most comfortable and efficient. I would opt for the Hemi since the 3.5 is a PITA to change stuff on like water pumps. Also doubt the 3.5 is...

    Amsoil Upset with FTC.

    So you dont like some of their sales people?? I dont ever recall having a Amsoil "Sales Droid" ever knock on my door??? If you become a dealer, Amsoil does not make you buy any oil, you pay your 20$ fee and get their magazine and that is all you hear from Amsoil. To put this in perspective, my...

    Jeep CRD Differential Oil Service.

    I would drain the diffs and T-case just to get the wear metals out. DIY, simple job. I did my Jeep at 3000 miles and do it every 30K. I mean it costs a whole 5 qts of gear lube and 2 qts ATF. I use the Amsoil so maybe 45$ worth of fluids. Cheap insurance to make sure my WJ lives a long happ life.

    Bypass spin on filters (AMsoil?)

    So one installs the sandwhich adaptor to the block, mounts the spin on oil filter to the adaptor and runs a feed to the bypass filter(from the sandwhich adaptor) and a return from the bypass filter to the sandwhich adaptor. If so sounds like a much better method to run a bypass filter in...

    Is anyone bothered by complexity?

    Kesta I am an EE and work with high voltage power equipment(12KV -345KV). All out equipment in a Substation operates on battery back up. we spend 100K per station for batteries so I dont buy the line they will last 10 years. Hybrids are simply a propoganda tool for any OEM but are a waste of...

    Is anyone bothered by complexity?

    But they havent tested the batterys for 10 years?? They have mimic some type of end of life simulation and then claim 10/120. But what about the poor fool who buys the car at age 7 yrs with 95K on the clock. 3 years later he is looking at a expensive repair. Also you now have a transaxle, gas...

    What is your favorite Cold Air Intake System?

    My favorite is stock air box, cold air intake=big waste of money. Have scene dynos test and you would be hard pressed to gain any HP on engines I have scene tested back to back. Also tough to swallow the 150-250$.

    What car do you own that has the getrag, I know they supply for a few OEM's. In the 80's they supplied the high capacity gear sets for Chrysler for the Shelby turbos T2/T3 and T4 cars from 87-93. Very stout pieces. I have them in my other cars. Chrysler used to spec ATF in them thru 1987 but...

    On the plus side the 4.7 holds 6 qts of oil and I think it is a internet wives tail that they sludge. Some on JU and DOC board have 200K miles on the 99sh model DAKs, durangos and WJ's and no issues with the engines if maintained. Of course if people want to push the intervals out and dont...
