Meh, I'd tell them they're both f***ing retarded and that my 2400 HP Honda Civic with 42" Tires could output both of their trucks together ' rofl No, seriously... if they want to do a competition like this... don't. Otherwise, the ONLY winner will be the shop that gets to rebuild the transmissions on both trucks...

I'm in Virginia now - we're staying the night, then going to the Baltimore Aquarium, and Hard Rock, and then heading home I'm still curious about how the heck I made the trip with my oil-fill cap off... without it falling off my Dizzy Cap... 0o' Lucky I guess

WOOT! I'm a married man now *grins* Hells yeah:D So, anyway, took the pathy on our honeymoon trip (still there actually ) - week long stay down south! If anyone lives near Mt. Pleasent SC, give me a yell SO, anyway, made the trip down to Petersburg NC, where we were SUPPOSED to stay with friends, and I opened the hood to show my friend the engine - lo and behold, we made the ENTIRE trip down with the oil-fill plug off and sitting against the distributor cap... DOH! My mechanic left it off by mistake... and I drove almost 650 miles with it off... surprisingly I haven't lost ANY oil and NO lights came on... lol! Long story short - my friend was going to put us up in their "furnished" garage... yeah, no. So we drove down to SC and are staying with some of my relatives near the beach. *grins* And as of Monday I'm 21 and last night I had my first drink - a Kahlua Mudslide WOOT! Being buzzed feels funny I've now done over 800 miles this trip, and we haven't even headed home yet So far, the ole gal is taking it very well... other than the normal "weeble wobble" on the highway when the Torque Converter locks in during long, gentle, left-hand turns, she rides like a dream I'm a little iffy about putting so many miles on my BFG A/T's, but they don't look like they've worn at all. I'll update a bit more when I get home - doing this on the laptop atm

Thing is, I'm looking at the stock lego wheel, so I can't get different size wheels because of this deal It'll have to wait though - grandmother collapsed today and had to go to the hospital... not sure what's up atm

Aighty It's a set of wheels I'm looking to get so that's why I was confused Thanks for the intel guys! Hopefully I can get the wheels and tires together and mounted before my trip to NC EDIT: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/Sizes.jsp?ma...model=LTX+M%2FS GRR! They don't mention the 31x10.5 at all... this mean I'm SOL for this brand or would the 235x75R15 s work?

Well, I guess my question is - what on a wheel do you measure to figure out what size tire to use - I'd assume it's a radial measure?

Dumb question - how do I know what size I need? Lol...

well... I don't have a body lift yet and I'm using stock legos for the 1990 SE I don't intend to get another full size spare just yet... I'll purchase that when I go in for my first rotation As for balance/mounting/et al, I can have that done free or near free by a friend Just need the tires themselves first

Aighty... well, my BFG A/T's have served me well and have plenty of life left in them... However, I don't plan on doing any kind of off-roading anytime soon, and their rolling resistance is incredible to say the least... I'm hoping to grab a new set of legos tonight from one of the guys here (thanks again for the patience mate!) and am looking now into a good, low-cost set of street tires. The plan is to keep the BFG's for winter use and use the other tires during spring/summer/fall - I can also swap the BFG's out if I want to go off-roading, since I'll have them on the spare wheels. Question is, what IS a good normal tire for our trucks? Preferably tires that won't run me 500+ a set 0o' Reason I'm asking now is in 15 days I'm getting married And after the wedding, my wifey and I are running down to North Carolina for our honeymoon... and yes, we're driving... debating now if we want to taket he Pathfinder or her Subaru Legacy... Legacy rides better, has AC, and gets normally slightly better mileage (AC cuts into the normally far better mileage) but the Pathy has far more room and we won't need a tow behind, which is something my girl has never driven with and doesn't feel comfortable using... So, yeah, any advice? Looking for a set of good, "cheap" tires that aren't cheaply made

Oil cooler is a MUST. Leave distance to brake, and keep speeds within reason. If things get dicey, pop your hazards on and slow down even more, hugging the right shoulder so you have an escape route if something goes bad. Good peddle control will save you lots with an automatic - don't hit her hard and let her do the work for you... work with her and ease the accelerator and the pathy won't come around and slap you for it Above all, be SAFE.

I think part of the problem is it seems our power band is a little higher than most - I know for me personally, my engine seems to have the most "oomph" around 3000-4000 rpm...

While the truck won't LIKE you for doing it... she'll pull that vehicle home. Just be careful on the hills, and make sure you don't burn out anything going into and out of overdrive - if she won't comfortably stay in it at speed on the highway, take it out of OD - it'll hit your MPG but save your wear and tear. Though an external tranny cooler is HIGHLY recommended, even if you aren't towing anything. I still haven't installed mine simply cause I haven't had time and I don't really know where to put it

You guys realize I was joking, right?

Swine Flu, Bird Flu, AIDS, HIV... man... people need to stop having sex with animals for fskcs sake...

my K&N has never given me issues... just dont' over-oil it

Can't be plugged anymore - the thing stays cool perfectly fine... I don't know what to make of it... I'm thinking air pocket as they were trying to fill it via the reservoir, and I filled it via the radiator cap... which pushed out a LOT of air. It still leaks... but it isn't overheating now and as long as they keep it full of coolant is should be good in the short term till they cna get it fixed, right?

Okay, get this - it IS leaking coolant... but only seems to do so after half an hour to 45 minutes of driving... an even then, only when it's at idle... wtf... Meh... strangeness... it's why I love my pathfinder *hugs sheila*

Interestingly enough, I chickened out and had a place look at it- they proudly proclaimed cracked radiator and gave us a $500 estimate... I told them to go get touched gently somewhere special and decided to check for air pockets - wouldn't ya know it, when I topped off the radiator directly, air came bubbling out... so far it's run fine all day without overheating... *shakes head at his own stupidity*

That's good news - so I'll have to get the t-stat and do that for him today - it shouldn't be difficult... anything out of the ordinary I need to knwo about?

*nods* That was my thought, just wanted to confirm it with someone more mechanically knowledgeable than myself Once we replace that I'll check back if it doesn't fix the problem - I'd assume then I'm looking at a bubble, blockage, or water pump, right?

C'mon... anyone able to give a certainty on this one before I go ahead and do the T-Stat?

1999 Jeep Cherokee... overheating to the point of burning off coolant from overpressure. I can't feel any heat getting thru the block, and I don't see any coolant on the "outlet" side of the radiator, nor do I see any coolant flow when the cap is off. Possibilities? Air Bubble in system 0 apparently the 99 cherokee's don't have a weep valve... doh. Bad Water Pump Blocked radiator Stuck T-Stat Any suggestions? I'm looking at replacing the T-stat today or tomorrow for him... but if coolant is leaking out the inlet of the radiator I'm worried something may have already been damaged...

Like Spears... who openly admits to lip-syncing! ROFL!

Simons face at 4:27 was hilarious... GO SUSAN! http://www.suntimes.com/entertainment/zwec...boyle21.article

Oh, I'm sure... I'm just looking for all the electrical/mechanical things that affect MPG... the higher those are, the better the result from gas-conservative driving
