I have a 2004 Dodge Dakota, changed the Transmission fluid back in August of 2007, truck had 48,000 miles. Saw the Mopar+4 oil in Wal-mart and picked up 10 quarts. Dropped the pan changed both filters and it took 7 quarts. Shifting is the same after the change. When the weather is in the 30's...

The best advice on this subject I had read previously, (somewhere on this site) was to use hydrogen, makes the car lighter - better gas milage. Makes more sense than nitrogen.

I had a 1989 Dodge Dakota that I traded in on a new 2004 Dakota had 249,000 miles on it, pulled a 17 ft skeeter fish and ski most every weekend of the year, back and forth to work, pulled a 16 ft trailer around the country helping my milatary brother move from Fort to Fort and never once changed...

Something you gentlemen may have overlooked in production of ethanol is the U.S. paper industry. I recently attended a conference that talked about this. New technology is being developed (already being used in a couple of plants) to turn papermills into biorefinerys. By extracting acetic acid...

Had a Glock 21 once, left it on the dash of my truck and it melted, took me all day to clean up the mess.

You can use a hair dryer on the mink oil, just use the low setting to heat it up and it will liquidfy and then rub it in, or gently heat the holster and the mink oil will melt into the leather. I do this on my boots every week and works well,I usually past the mink oil on then use the blow dryer...

Haven't seen the movie yet, but since you mentioned it I'll have to check it out, thanks. All three of my girls like Skynyrd but don't care too much for Rob Zombie, I'm sure they will come around. Uriah Heep!! Had an 8 track one time, can't remember name of the album, I was only about 10 years...

The mounts look like the ones made by weaver. Could someone have put scope rings on this light? If the light is a standard 1" you could use scope rings, just never thought of this before. Not sure how useful this would be because it would be hard to use the iron sights at night, point and shoot...

You guys need to check out the project at tomshardware.com. They removed the fans from a computer a dumped 8 gallons cooking oil to the case, and it ran! They talked about using motor oil but I guess didn't get around to it. OK guys put you heads together and help them out. They have alot of...

At our mill we have a complete oiling program. We have a dedicated oiling group and thats all they do is maintain oil levels on pumps and grease bearings and couplings. On annual outages we contract with suppliers who send in crews to change the oil in pumps (several thousand). When pump...

I just traded a 89 Dodge Dakota with 247,000 miles. Ran great, all I ever used was Havoline 10w-40. All my vehicles get the same treatment. 1995 Ford Aerostar 187,000 miles runs great, 1985 Dodge Ramcharger 4by4 199,000 miles, all 10w-40. All changed at 4000 miles. Bought a 2004 Dodge...

I saw a show last night "Max X". It Showed a bunch of crazy people doing crazy things. One I thought would be suitable to this board was a guy from Tailand who started out by eating gobs of grease, looked like wheel bearing grease, even made a grease sandwich with white bread. But the best of...

"Greedy!" I can't remember the last time I got greedy. Our last contract was 0%-2%-0%-2%. That doesen't seem "greedy" to me. Our corporate managers have gotten 15 to 20% raises every year that we have taken 0's and 2's. The raises I have gotten over the last 23 years haven't even kept up with...
