I would NOT switch from synthetic to conventional if Dodge (and MB who makes the motor) says to use synthetic (and they do on my '06 ...) It's false economy. If your dealer is recommending that you do so and Dodge says not to, I'd start looking for another dealer. (Sounds kinda like mine -...

On the missing records - if you can't get access to the actual records you may have to reconstruct them as best you can. One other to know - if you prepare an affidavit (sworn under the penalty of perjury) for such items, the IRS agent auditing you is legally bound to accept them as though...

Good advice so far - but also scope out: Publications by Dan Pilla He has written a number of self-help books on how to deal with the IRS - particularly with overzealous or out-of-control agents. He fully explains how the system works (Did you know an auditor's determination is not...

And yet another false dichotomy ...... the Rev. says the Repubs are the way to go and Robsdad says nope, go with the Dems they have the solution ..... These don't have to be the only choices folks. In fact, the best choice might be "anything but ...." Greg, you nailed it - they are...

Yup - would totally agree. If the fluid was actually black it would be a huge concern. My question is did anyone other than the dealer actually observe the fluid or the metal shavings ? Or was that just what the dealer said ? And what explanation did the dealer offer for black fluid on...

My grandmother's 60's vintage Rambler had a push button automatic (although as I recall it was cable operated ......)

King ..... did you happen to read the the link I posted - or the other post in that thread ? Particularly the one where Andy says: "-Are you experiencing transmission related malfunction codes and/or symptoms of transmission malfunction despite having proper fluid level? -Is your dealer...

Re: I thought Americans would know about RE: Anyon I wanna a diagram .... or maybe some actual pictures ....

Dunno ... but I have passed a number of their cargo vans that were out delivering around here in the last week.

Sounds pretty smart to me - I like it. I would think that it's gotta be good for all concerned. Seems like one result is that it would be more transparent I would think - one would have a better idea of what is actually occurring .... although I'm only basing that on how my carrier operates...

Blowby from the combustion chamber past the rings into the crankcase ?

Rather than just "a third party", I'd rather a number of "third parties" would prosper and grow, the Greens and the Constitution parties among them. (A friend of mine's father - Howard Phillips - helped found the Constitution party and ran as it's presidential candidate three times.) I think...

Fair enough - reasonable scenarios by both Terry and Leo. Being a fan of less governmental regulation as a general principal, I hope I don't see it in my lifetime.

I'd say that you have made some astute observations. A friend of mine, who is politically active in DC, and I were talking about McCain .... he made similar comments as well .... that was around 8 years ago.

Like I said you asked. It is a distasteful subject ..... Extreme .... yup .... probably so. It's also pragmatic. You think that this type of thing (torture and brainwashing) doesn't happen ? I just was watching the History Channel I think it was, the other day. They had a real...

I didn't serve myself - the draft ended just a few years prior to my becoming eligible. But our families had a few that did: My father - USMC in WWII. My stepfather - US Army, SSGT, mechanic, in WWII, served at the Battle of the Bulge in the Ardennes Forest. My cousin - USN, WWII...

Ya gotta think that unless there was a significant exemption (say the 150 air mile radius) that requiring vans to log would result in a huge increase of workload, record-keeping, etc. ..... Leo - you sorta been pushing "vans will be required to log" for awhile here - I'm curious .... what...

Well .... this is a rather distasteful subject .... but you asked .... With all due respect to the Senator and his military service - for which this country owes him a huge debt, this man was in the hands of an avowed enemy of the United States whom we were at war with (although not formally...

Ark, What was the t-shirt ?

I gotta go with Phil on this one - yes it is a relatively easy business to learn, however in spite of that, some clearly fail to learn it. Probably for a whole host of reasons. As but one example, I had a guy who was just starting out that I was trying to help out (a case of the blind...
