Very true. Last year on a business trip out of state my rental was a new Ford SUV. It was pretty nice, but all the heat and A/C controls were done through the touch screen--there were no knobs. It was infinitely frustrating trying to adjust things while driving. Key 'fobs', touch screens, rotary...

I went through a similar brewhaha with my '04 Ram after the DBW throttle stuck FULL OPEN getting on the freeway....thank goodness there was room for me to react and shut down safely. As I accelerated through the on-ramp the thing just kept going. Caught me by surprise for sure but I went key off...

RIP Cletus!

Red w/ white cool color combo!

That's likely not the rocker arms themselves, but the lifters or preload or oiling or the cam profile or any one of a dozen other things...setting up a valvetrain has numerous fine details and sometimes even then it's still noisy.

These guys are spot on...true converter bolts have thinner heads for clearance.

Good info here thanks guys! I'd never heard of 'Lares' before.

:thumbsup:

Hahaaa that's hilarious!:lol:

Get well soon Jerry and Mrs. Jerry! Wow I have a niece that's an RN and she just went through that same thing you did on her leg. Prayers for both of you!

You know you're in the country when a beer, a fishing pole and a rifle goes with you everywhere. And you're surrounded by dirt (that's what the beer's for--keeps our mouths clean!)

Orchids are so named after the Greek word for 'testicle'.....hmm I wonder why!

I guess not....maybe they know enough to set things up to oil correctly...

THIS is truth!

You bet they are....because at times we've actually been able to vote them out! Maybe it's time for an "electoral college" of sorts for states too.... :thumbsup:

I thought a big bonus of going roller was you can use any oil? I do know that my engine guy (and other pro builders ) do NOT recommend the higher zinc/phosphorus-type oils with roller cams, regardless of your spring forces.

...except that the "standards" are fluid and keep changing to meet whatever the new "carbon footprint requirements" and green blah blah blah dictate....a load of meadow muffins! How anyone with a brain can keep voting these guys in baffles the mind...

:D:D:D

What's amazing to me is now with all the car cameras, people still screw it up! I'm reminded of this commercial from years back (not specifically about parallel parking, but you get the idea..)
