Thanks for stepping up and fixing a problem KJ!
You're welcome. I'll pass along the sentiment to Stacey. All I did was ask her to sew up some flags.

Yeah, not getting picks in for the first several races hurts the overall standings.... Next year I'll sign up on time.

Re: Stock Market

The Hemi and the Diesel are completely seperate deals. The cummins turbo diesel is 6cyls at all times. Its supposed to average approx 15mpg combined with 3.73 gears. After breakin that can improve some. The emissions crap apparently hurts mileage so, previous 5.9L versions are capable of much bette...

Re: New $5 Dollar Bill

I was told that $75 is the max the visa/mc people will cover in a disputed transaction, thus the typical limits. If any body is successful in getting it raised by calling their card co, please let me know. I'm bumping on $75 to fill up the M3. What credit card are you using that has a $75 limit?? V...

Re: New $5 Dollar Bill

The $50 and $75 limits are pretty annoying when it costs more than a $170 for a full tank. This is usually your card's imposed limit. Most the time you can call the card company and have it raised.

Re: Course Finish Standard

I'd say, go to the fabric store, buy a small amount of Green outdoor suitable fabric, pick up some nice thick dowls over at the home depot. Staple the fabric to the dowls with a staple gun like the current ones are. Bring'm to the next event and receive the accolades of your peers. I can handle that.

Re: $50 sparkplugs

Really? Even with that weight? Guess a V-8 with 414HP makes a difference. As for $50 spark plugs, it'd better win with that price tag! Have only seen it once or twice on the street (both times parked). One in white, one in red. I never would have guessed it, but one article had the TT911 over 100# ...

Just don't let it sit out in the sun all day before using it. Getting sprayed with warm water doesn't have that same, refreshing feeling.

Re: Truck tires

The new truck has Michelin LTX A/S 265-70-17 tires on it. They are rated at 3200lbs at 80psi. Any opinions on these tires? Michelin used to be good. But now who knows! I haven't seen many good OEM tires on Dodges. That gives me a rear axle load cap of 6400. Should be okay with an anticipated tongue...

Re: 2500 versus 3500 Trucks

The current F350 dualie is rated at 18,700 for towing a gooseneck or 5th wheel. Dodge 3500 is 16,350. Silverado HD, 16,500. Neither Dodge or Cheby specify hook-up method or number of rear wheels, but it's certainly dualie and goose/5th. Pickuptrucks.com did an extensive comparison test last year th...
