Buy a Airplane

Saturday, May 30th, 2009

Where would you go to buy a airplane? I think that the Internet is the best place. Firstly you can use it to search around and see what is available. Then you can use it to read reviews of the various planes and which is the best. Then you can use it to communicate with the seller and find out about the plane that they have for sale. The Internet is wonderful for bringing buyers and seller together like this and it can mean that you have far more choice available to you than you would have had if you were just relying on magazine and newspaper advertisements.

It is amazing how many websites there are with used airplanes on them. It is great to have such a good selection as it can be a really big decision, knowing which to choose. Anyone who has tried to buy aircraft before will understand why it is important to get exactly the right one and to find out all about it before you buy it. With on line reviews of things, it is easier to decide which of them would be the best model to buy and then you just have to find out which specific one, that is for sale, will be the best for you to buy for yourself.

What is the function of a tranny crossmember?

Saturday, July 19th, 2008

I am about to do some exhaust work on my truck, i.e. replace my existing exhaust. I have never done any kind of work to my cars before (always wanted to but was afraid that I would mess something up). I have gathered enough courage to do this myself. Though I have never done any kind of mechanical work, I am pretty confident if I have the right set of instructions, I can do this by myself. However, I learned that I have to hold the tranny cross member up while I remove the exhaust and replace it with new one. That keeps me thinking what the function of the tranny cross member is - can anyone explain what a tranny cross member is and may be what it looks like or refer me to a picture? Thanks.

I really don’t want to cut the exhaust; as long as I hold it up I am not going to mess up the transmission, right? Also, if I don’t hold it up properly can I mess up the alignment of the transmission? Do I need a transmission Jack for this or a regular floor jack?

It is an 07 RAM 2500 Cummins…

You didn’t mention what kind of truck.

I don’t know of any truck that requires removal of the trany crossmember. Good idea for you to talk to a repair shop or a dealership service tech of your vehicle. They can at least tell you if removal of the crossmember is required.

As far as what is the tranny crossmember–Its a support bracket that holds the rear of the transmission in line with the driveshart and engine. ITs critical to the function of your truck.

Understand your enthusiasm to do your own work. Exhaust work can be very rewarding or a pain in the butt. Its easier to work on the truck if you will place it on Jack Stands, also, makes the work safer. Be sure you have some basic tools, like, end wrenches, Penetrating Oil to spray on the rusted nuts and bolts, hack saw, socketts and rachett will help to keep you knuckels from being cut.
Plan your work. Make sure you have the right parts for your truck. Replace all nuts and bolts with NEW.
When you install the new pipes and mufflers,,,start out by handging the pipes and mufflers but don’t tighten everythig to tight–just tight enough to keep things in place–then alighn the pipe and muffler on one side. Make sure the parts are not touching anything except the pipe hangers; level the muffler and pipes to there proper position and start tighning hanger bolts starting from the engine and proceed towards the back of the truck….do the same on both sides. If your patient, don’t mind getting very dirty it can be a fun job., also, if you have a friend who can assist it makes things much easier.

Over 30 years twisting wrenches.

 

…………………..

Go to an autoparts store and buy CHILTONS or HAYNES books for the make and year model of your car!! They will help you alot with pictures and diagrams and tips and specs! IF you want the answer to your question, the cross member is the support for the transmission. In order to route the exhaust you may have to remove these. First you need to get jack stands. Then you put the vehicle on the stands and make sure that it is sturdy before you get under it!!! Then you place a jack under the transmission JUST ENOUGH TO TAKE THE WEIGHT. You loosen the bolts on crossmembers and take them down. Do the exhaust work and put the crossmembers back. Check the exhaust system for leaks!!!

The crossmember is a long irreguar shaped box that holds the transmission in place, it bolts to the sides of the frame rails.

You can cut the old exhaust out with a sawsall, and put the new one in without messing with the crossmember.

……………..

the crossmember is what holds the back of the tranny up. just block up the tranny, to keep it from falling, then you can just take the crossmember off, to get it away from your work. on your truck, the crossmember goes across the back of the tranny and bolts up to both sides of the frame.

………..

the cross member hold the rear of the tranny up( also known as the tailshaft) it holds the tranny mount that dampers the vibration and twist of the trans. the crossmember is a means of connecting the driveline with the frame. formed piece of steel that runs from one side of your car to the next.

Do you get rid of your car insurance when you get a DWI?

Saturday, July 19th, 2008

I don’t understand,.. when you get a DWI and license taken away, wouldn’t you not need car insurance anymore for a year since you won’t be driving your car? All the talk about having insurance go up etc, and $1000 added onto the bill every year, does the receiver of the DWI have to keep their insurance or something?

As long as you have a car with registration, you need to keep the insurance.

May sound funny, but there’s a chance that you (or somebody you allow) will drive the car. It is registered after all.
===
If you don’t want to insure it, then turn in your plates too (and make sure you park you car in private land, like a drive way).

……..

For automobile insurance the quick way to get a low quote is do a rate comparison on car policies. Make certain that you choose similar options with the same deductibles, auto make, location, etc so that all things are a good comparison.

What I usually recommend is an internet comparison quote at http://www.InsureAutoNow.info since they have lots of insurers and can give several prices on auto insurance polices.

………….

You would need to get rid of that car. The Police computer can pick up late D.U.I offenders that drove, that car in the past. In other words, it has a History. Also, You will need a SR-22 insurance and can’t own a car, for the next 2yrs.

Group riding?

Wednesday, July 9th, 2008

I realize that many sure dont know how to ride in a group. side by side is a no-no and very dangerous! but then many people dont like to stagger formation, how do you ride?

 

 

Very good qeustion. Our group consist of all very experienced riders and we ride in this fashion
AA/staggered on the open road
BB/in line nose to tail around curves
CC/pull up alongside only when stopped at intersections
DD/passing initiated by the lead dog, but each subsequent rider makes his/her own decision when to continue passing.
EE/no lane splitting as a group ( allowed in certain staes and I think that California is one of them)
FF/All inexeprienced riders ( anyone qho has never ridden with our group or who is unfamiliar with group dynamics) is defnitely in the rear. Most likely if one guy goes down or makes a very severe lane adjsutment-braking maneuver-aversion to road hazzard)this will effect many behind him…) We feel that the odds are heavily in favor of this happpening to the lesser experienced group rider than not. For this reason they are at the tail of the ride.They quietly observe how the pack rides / the speeds/ thre cornering on exits / the signaling / the passing protocol / the rhythims of the riders crusing along the highway,etc
Above all, we make every effort to ride safe while at the same time enjoying the ride

…………

you really dont need to ask this question. if its safe ride side by each. if its not safe dont do it. never ride side by side with someone unless you know -THEIR RIDING ABILITIES-. riding side by side with your best friend is cool and all but if your best friend cant ride than you are in danger. respect also has a lot to do with it. if your riding side by side and you come to a hazard and your only two options are to either avoid it and take your buddy out or just hit it…. be curtious and take the fall yourself.

……..

Solo.
I generally avoid group rides. Lots of reasons.
When I do get to group ride, it’s usually a large group, made up of people from different groups. As you see in the other answers, groups don’t all work the same. The result is a large number of bikes with groups within groups and nobody really knows what everybody else is doing. Clusterf_ck waiting to happen. In those cases, I pick a spot to the rear so I can see and avoid what’s clearly going to happen. Most groups I’ve been with use a stagger, but it always falls apart.
When I rode with the guys from work, it was only the three of us. In stagger, me at the rear.
Side by side is allowed in some places, yet it’s dangerous.
I do it with only one person. We ride together and get in synch before riding side by side

……….

our club rides in a stagger formation on roadways that are wide enough to do so safely. We maintian a 1.5 to 2 second interval between you and the bike directly in front of you. when roads narrow, or get to twisty, the lead rider signals for single formation. We only ride side by side in parades.

……….

It is illegal here in Ohio to lane share so we stagger with the least experienced toward the front in the middle of the pack.

…………

it depends on how many people and the overall skill of the group. However stagger is the safest

Enhance Your Dodge Truck with Nerf Bars and Bed Rails

Saturday, June 21st, 2008

Have you just bought your own Dodge truck? Congratulations! It certainly is a wise investment and you are ensured of great quality. Now, you can enjoy the spacious interior of your own Dodge truck together with tuned steering and strong brakes. You can think of further enhancing the appeal and functionality of your truck by attaching a nerf bar to it.

Actually aside from nerf bars, there are still other truck accessories that you can install in order to further enhance the appeal of your truck. For instance, you should look into the various truck bed rails being sold online or locally.

Dodge nerf bars, including bed rails, are great truck accessories. With a nerf bar, you will be able to climb up or step out of your truck just as easily. With nerf bars, you’d be able to avoid truck damage caused by debris or flying rocks. Most nerf bars are made of 3 or 4-inch aluminum or stainless steel. They are also wrapped with non-slip step pads. You can find nerf bars in various styles – some with black powder coats, others with polished mirror finish and there are those that come in thick chrome plating.

When choosing Dodge nerf bars, you have to take into consideration the truck’s design and its other accessories. If most of the parts of your truck are made of chrome, then it’s a good idea to get a chrome nerf bar. The same goes when you’re specifically looking for truck bed rails.

Travel Packages

If you’re finding yourself being tired, losing enthusiasm for your job and hobbies, perhaps now is the time to get away for a vacation. People often say that between budgets and busy schedules, it’s not easy to set aside time and plan a getaway. But getting away with any of the travel packages, even for a short period, can do wonders for your well-being.

Traveling is a great way to reduce your stress. Even if it’s a business trip, just being in another city can be great for your mind. Traveling also reduces the feeling of monotony that builds up after we do the same things day after day. Escorted tours can provide you with a break from the norm, and that alone can inject you with energy. When you travel, you also get a wonderful chance to experience the great outdoors. Even if you’re not hiking in the mountains or lazing on a hammock on the beach, you’ll be breathing more deeply, re-oxygenating your blood, enjoying the sunshine. Whether your plans include hiking, white water rafting, or just playing beach volleyball, chances are you will wind up being much more active on a discount travel vacation than you are in your normal routine. This opportunity for a full workout can do wonders for your body.
