Taxes went up additional $400 year. I am paying $2200 a year for 1/3 acre of land in a rural town. Home prices in the area are between $150-200K. This is Iowa, not Chicago. I also get a discount for being a veteran. -Muzzy

He's right. People (and corporations) have been living well beyond their means for some time and the chickens have come home to roost. What were the big three thinking when they are continuing to produce vehicles that aren't selling? They were way to slow to adapt to a changing market. Not...

Two years ago the assessment on my property jumped $11K in one year! I contacted our county assessor and they stated I could file an objection to their assessment, but it would likely get denied since they will only review cases where the assessment goes over $20K in a year. They also stated...

"properly operating government"...:rofl: I would like to see an example of that. Weather man is the second best job to a government worker. You can be wrong 90% of the time with the weather and not get fired, but you can be worthless all the time and still have job with the government. Next...

I don't think he liked the truck. I could be wrong... -Muzzy

How many have had a failure with the stock engine? How many have had failures on engines with quality aftermarket internals (pistons, rods, bearings) with a power adder? I haven't read any, but could be wrong. The SRT guys thrash any of the SRT engines prior to production to ensure they will...

Man you are way ahead. I lost my license for 6 months when I was 19. Then I was on another three months restricted license. Too much street racing got me. I then started taking the hot rods to the track and bought a 4x4 for a daily driver. Haven't had a ticket in 18 years. You'll be...

Merry Christmas Everyone! -Muzzy

I have seen damage like that in many factory pistons. Much more so in the past ten years or so. This is mainly due to design changes to help a couple things. First, by moving he top compression ring closer to the top of the piston you reduce the amount of unburned gases from combustion. That...

I had used phpbb for like 3 years. It is a decent forum application. As you pointed out because of it's popularity, it is also a big target for exploits. I religiously kept up with the updates and on more that one occasion has my site defaced or XSS problems. There isn't anything out...

I did read the thread and there is good info in it. I appreciate the work you put forth in selecting the bolts that you did. I did some research of my own and selected the ARP fasteners that I have listed. I have an ARP catalog since I have bought fasteners on many occasions that aren't...

Go Daddy is good. Both of the sites I host are through Go Daddy. You can't beat their hosting packages or options. Good place to start. -Muzzy

I changed the fluid in my rear diff (RP 75w-90) and could not stand the site of the corrosion on the rear differential cover bolts. I ordered a set from Summit Racing to replace them. In case anyone wants some, here is the info: Summit Part Number: ARP-613-0750 ARP Part Number: 613-0750...

phpBB = bad. I used to use that, but there are numerous security holes that allow your site to get hacked. Their patches come out slowly. I use SimpleMachines instead. They have some pretty cool templates. It is very easy to manage and upgrade. I use Joomla for a Content Management...

I guess I do not understand how the rest of the American people suffer? You mean it would be better for GM to not write off their loss and fire more than 74000 employees? Companies create jobs, not the government. The quicker GM returns to profitability, the quicker they will be able to grow...

I remember seeing something like this earlier in the post...hmmm :confused: The reason the lands of the pistons are so small and the rings are pushed close to the top of piston is for emissions control. By moving the top compression ring close to the top of the piston unburned fuel/carbon...

The problem is with poor crankcase evacuation on these engines. Especially on a boosted engine. Your blow-by gases are pressurizing the crank case, which is cause oil to get pushed past seals and gaskets. The only way to fix it is to install a serious crankcase evac system. A good crankcase...

Selling a Dodge for a Chevy is like selling Jessica Alba for Rosie O'donnell :laugh: I guess beauty really is in the eye of the beholder. -Muzzy
