I know running headers and 2-1/2 in pipes down my truck along with the aluminum high-flow intake and the bigger carb helped out on both ends with its power, I just wish I could find a good set of headers and an easy way to eliminate the exhaust crossover and everything for my Impala and help it out too.

The easiest way to cheat and see who the oil is made by is to read the product label on the back of the bottle. Like on the back of our CQ oil is says "bottled by Ashland Corp" which is how I know its Valvoline.

If I remember right from the last time I did a tune-up on a Camaro with a 3.4 you had to remove the alternator, but that's it. there's a rather simple test to see if a coil is going bad on those cars (move the coil to another set of cylinders, see if the skip moves). Ohter than that, the only real recommendations I have for it is to use AC Delco plugs and good, quality set of plug wires.

CQ's oil is produced and marketed by the Ashland Corp, same people who bottle Valvoline, and every time we get new information about our oil, it always comes as "Valvoline has added this new product to our Car Quest Oil..." So yeah, its a steal, considering Valvoline is about 3.00 a quart here and our CQ-branded oil is only about 1.60 a quart.

that's what I immediately though myershift. Not just a camper shell.

well, as someone who works for an auto parts store I have to say that our CarQuest branded oil is Valvoline, just without the white bottle and high price tag. When I was at AutoZone, if I remember right, their PB oil was made by either Kendall or Exxon/Mobil.

somewhere close to nill. probably have canabalized most of the aircraft so that they can mantain what few they DO have.

Ahh, I gotcha now fly, at first I thought you were talking about an ACTUAL camper top on the truck, not just a shell.

I've given a new name to any car that has gained 2ft of ground clearance due to 20" + wheels. Stump Jumpers because the car looks like it has 4WD and is about to go and jump stumps.....

I see E85 usage as nothing but a good thing.

I wouldn't mind seeing a larger Atlas I6 to match the increased displacements of the I4 and I5, although I wouldn't mind seeing displacement moved up to...oh about 4.9L

a camper top on an Avalanche and Sport Trac, how?

I have to agree, its kinda like I've started to see more and more people agree with me on this one when they come in for parts and I call it exactly what it is, a FAR overpriced Honda. It just seems like whatever heart and soul that Acura had is gone....dunno where it went, but it doggone sure ain't here now.

Toyota Camry and a trailer hitch.

You could say that again fly. The F-4 Phantom is a tough bird, sure it can't turn tighter than a modern fighter, but the only other plane that beats it in a vertical fight is the F-15 which was the plane to naturally replace it anyway. From what I've read most of North Korea's fighter forces consist of MiG-21s, MiG-23s and -27s, and and smattering of MiG-29s and Su-27s, nothing really to worry with. Of course there are still numerous MiG-19s and MiG-17s flying too.

Lets see, the rules say "INSTALL THIS SAFETY RESTRAINT SYSTEM", Toyota says "WE'LL DEACTIVATE THIS SWITCH" Hmmm, those two things don't add up.

Mine are posted

I've been thinking of running a second pipe down my Impala's underside, but right now I have to get ahold of some of those nice things called money.

Hey fly, I don't zactly call F-15s and F-16s "second-line" jets. Now some of their other planes, yes they are truly "second line" but the Eagle and Fighting Falcon are front-line combat-ready fighters. Another thing that the South Koreans have is the THAAD (Theatre High-Altitude Air Defense) variant of the Patriot missile, designed specifically to intercept ICBMs, SRBMs, and MRBMs.

At least you don't have to see my truck's expression every day "Damn you, get me fixed, damn you!"

I honest to goodness don't remember the rating.

I agree with you YJ, I really do. Although this has gone on long enough both of my Grandfathers' served in Korea from 50-53 and seeing this really stirs up my only remaning Grandfather because he's been there once already....

I'll say this. We shouldn't have stopped Patton in WWII when he reached Germany, we should have let him march right on and fight the Russians and we should have let MacArthur and Nimitz take care of the Japanese then move straight to the Chinese and Koreans. I say that they could have met in India and had tea with the British.

Well think about it, most of the farm land in North Korea is in the nothern parts of the country and that's where North Korea's major nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons testing sites are. Therefore, they can't grow their own crops except in the low lands which get flooded out every year during the rains. With that, they have to ask for help from everyone, although I believe that there is probably a substantial amount of food and other aid stockpiled in North Korean military bases so that even though the common people starve, the military and Party members can still live high on the hog. I really don't think that Japan should necessarily attack North Korea over the issue, although I can definitely see where they're coming from. Really and truly we should have let McArthur do his job back in '52 and just nuke 'em...
