Well, are yall ready for 2004? Or do yall approve of what he is doing for the country so far?????

I think he's doing an OK job so far. I'm not sure where I stand on Stem Cell research, (I don't even know what all the fuss is about, have't been paying very much attention to that kinda stuff)

I'm not saying he's the best President ever, but I'm glad we voted for him instead of Gore.

"We" who?  Did they lower the voting age in Virginia?  ;)

I got into a political chat once.  No more thanks-

No, Virginia is not following Florida's footsteps and lowering the age of voting or COUNTING votes to 2 years old (JK, Sorry all loyal, legitimate Floridians who voted the RIGHT way.)

I'm just saying I'm glad we, as in the majority of the U.S voted for him.

 I think he's doing a good job so far. Look at all the whiners he has to deal with in Congress and he's still getting things done.

I believe if anybody was to do a honest side by side comparison with Bush's first eight months with Clinton's first eight months, they can only come to the conclusion that Bush is doing way better than Clinton did.  And that even with Clinton having a comfortable Democratic majorities in the House and Senate.

For example, with Bush, we got mid-year tax refunds, versus Clinton passing his record tax increase by one vote, without any Republican help, in August of his (Clinton's) first year.

How is it possible for the "Frat-Brat" to be doing a whole lot better than the "brainier" Rhodes Scholar?

i dont think hes doing that bad of a job so far

How can he do a bad job soo far??? I saw on the news the other night that he has taken more "vacation" than any other recent president in history during his first 8 months in office.  Something like 47 days so far.

I don't screw up when I don't go to work either...

Shaners, GE give you quiet a bit of training right?  Mervz, CCNA is neccesary certification right?  General, Hallmark doesnt just let you go down to Walmart on the first day right? jpshostrs spent ALOT of time with dad learning the farm and then ag-college right?

Not the office of the President.  No minimum standards.  No required reading.  No certification.  I ask this question without judgement of the man or his performance but what qualifications does he have to be president?  6 years as governor is all,  nothing else. hmmmm....could it be.....DAD?????

Are they not "working vacations"?  Do you think Bush just punches the clock and heads off to a vacation, leaving the Presidency behind?  Was it not during his "vacation" that he announced his stem-cell decision.

At least he doesn't fly off to some other country taking everybody and their uncle with him at the taxpayers expense!

It is my view that Bush hasn't committed any blunders (yet).  I remember Clinton tying up a international airport and airspace while he got, of all things, a haircut, costing the taxpayers (you and I) hundreds of thousands of dollars

What were Bill Clinton's qualifications?  Has all he ever been was a governor? :)Oh, excuse me, he was a lawyer for two years after getting out of law school.  His only real job outside of politics, ever!

      Trans Cooler Thermostat Valve Body Seals - 2022 10L80

      By Rick_ · Posted

      Does anyone know if the GM 85628205 and 85628208 are interchangeable?   The 85628205 is an assembly of the seals mated to a thin metal shim and the 85628208 appear to be just the rubber seals without being an assembly. The reason I am asking is that I'm installing a PPE Thermal Bypass Valve and it doesn't come with seals.

      Can anyone decode a VIN to determine if this truck has had emissions issues or a recall?

      By cherryred21duramax · Posted

      Thanks @newdude, guess I'll keep looking.  Test driving so many trucks that have obvious things broken, I'm thinking "if they couldn't even be bothered to fix the power seat," what else is broken".   Just drove a 2021 where the power seat motor was grinding/binding and wouldn't do anything but make a terrible sound.   An owner that puts dents on the bumper, doesn't fix a seat motor, and had spotty service intervals (along with missing major services) doesn't give me the best of confidence.   Amazed at the number of people that will finance a $60k+ truck, run it into the ground, then trade with a loan balance (every single one had "loan/lien reported" on the CARFAX at the last year of registration).

      Not true! I have been runing them since 2006 F250! suspension component that works as a sway bar, a traction bar, and a helper spring points directly to the RoadActive Suspension (RAS) kit. Works as a sway bar, a traction bar, and a helper spring.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Here's a starter kit:    CC Jensen, a Danish oil testing Concern gives us the following guidelines:   ISO 14/12/10 Very Clean Oil ISO 16/14/11 Clean Oil ISO 17/15/12 Lightly Contaminated ISO 19/17/14 New Oil ISO 22/20/17 Very Contaminated and not suitable for any service.   In addition CC Jensen gives a table showing how engine life is increased by cleaning up the oil. For example cleaning the oil from 19/17/14 to 13/11/8 will extend motor life by a factor of 6X.   But even cleaning it two “Life Extension Classes” will double motor life. So perhaps giving those classes would be useful:   21/19/16 20/18/15 19/17/14 18/16/13 17/15/12 16/14/11 15/13/10 14/12/9 13/11/8   *************************************   https://testoil.com/program-management/setting-iso-cleanliness-targets/   Third paragraph from the bottom will give a starting point.    Your next question should be, okay 10um at what Beta ratio and the answer is in the graph Beta 75.   Then the next question is what is your chosen filters profile? (Purolator PL series below) The red dot is Beta 75. This was the information I obtained from MANN a few years ago. So the best filters, Purolator One, AMSOIL EA, FRAM Ultra, Royal Purple, Bosch Premium should get a doubling engine life over filters like Purolator L, any service filter from any quick lube, WIX, NAPA, STP, Mobil 1, Purolator BOSS.    And as noted by CC Jensen a 2-5 micron @ Beta 200 bypass system has the capability of a six fold improvement. AMSOIL has such a system as does Donaldson.       Now having said all that testing is the touchstone. Test the oil NEW and test it with your chosen filter. Then test over milage. Do the work, get the result. But understand this in NOT absolute BECAUSE this is one factor in isolation.   Example:    A valve spring supplier can state that with cam X and a valve train of Y grams the valves will not float to 7K rpm. is that true if the builder choose a system 20 grams over limit? Common sense must be used and limits understood.

      This doesn't look like a GM truck. Not needed on a HD truck
