Cars & Transportation - 8 June 2007

I was watching tv, and I saw a ad for toyota, for one of their trucks.
It was.. When they took what looked one of those new GE locomotives, and have a chain connected to it, going a the trucks frame (just a frame) and the train went, must of ben going 20 mph and the frame stoped at some polls, making the train instally stop. Then the chain broke.
But there is no way that is possiable.
have you seen this ad?

It gives you the assurance that a train is coming. Even if you are the only person on the platform.
With todays gps technology it should not be that expensive.

With my husband deployed, his truck sits more than it is driven and where it is parked is under a lamp post where it becomes target practice for bird poop. Aesthetically I'm not really concerned with it, since I barely drive it and it needs a good detailing anyway before he gets home, but is it going to severely damage the paint if I leave it go a few weeks at a time?

Oklahoma does not require a front plate - so there is no base for it.

There are 2 lil marks in the plastic underneath the grille where I MIGHT put it - but they're way wider than an actual plate - my Earnhardt Junior plate will not fit. I don't want to drill into the plastic under the grill.

to about 65. Sometimes slower and faster. I have spent quite a bit, front end alignment, wheel balancing inside and out(twice). I have visually checked the tires for out of round, etc, and they seem ok. Had ball joints replaced. Motor mounts are ok. Mechanic looked at ujoints and said ok. All front end parts seem ok(steering , etc). It has firestone tires(indy 500) and magnus wheels. How could I tell if it is a wheel? Someone said it could be a tire coming apart on the inside. I am so tired of spending all this money and getting nowhere. Firestone didn't seem to want to help except do what has already been done. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Oh yes, someone told me that u joints could be bad but hands on feel ok.

On Off/On Off/On doesn't work. Parking brake set/released, in gear/out of gear, has no effect. I read somewhere that 98 and up Rams won't give you codes and need a diagnostic tool to read them.
Any MOPAR guys versed in these later vehicles. I've been Mopar since the 62 short rams but the newest I've owned, besides this truck is my 76 Volare. Now that I can work on! Thanks.

EVERYTIME I look & turn around my Vw Beetle has to have new tires. We got the tires//car from the dealership last May & we have already replaced two of the four tires. Its really making mee mad. Anybody think the tires weren't good in the first place. Another thing is my tires are always low all the time.. Thanks.
