I think our Prez. will be upbeat and positive about the economy and that we have a long way to go on the war on terror.

 

I don't think he'll congratulate Kerry on winning the Iowa caucus :seeya:

I'm just glad we have a president with a backbone. We've had too many wimps who cower at the thought of conflict, and are too scared to enforce our freedoms.

 

This democrat "Dean" That guy is another LBJ waiting to happen. if he somehow gets elected and we have to go to war.......iit won't be pretty.

I personally will be glad when Dubya has spent his last day in office.

I disagree.

He has the courage to make decisions without taking

a public opinion pole first.

 

I believe he is doing what he thinks is best for our country. :rolleyes:

I voted for him, and so far I've not seen any Democrats who I would vote for over him this time. I love that he is so decisive with other countries and does not let them walk all over us. I've almost always liked Republican foreign policies more than Democrat's forgeign policies. However I often do have to question the Republican domestic policies.

 

I guess that's why I'm registered Independent, because in my ideal world the President and Congress would most likely hand foreign affairs like the Republicans do the the domestic affairs like the Democrats.

 

But so far I think Bush has done a fine job, and I truly believe that if it had been Gore in office these past few years we would be much worse off. I just wish Bush had a different stance on Social Security, Medicare, and Education.

"I don't agree with most of what he wants to do with this country if he is re-elected. "

 

Like what?

I would rather not start a political fight on the board (it will inevitably happen if we get into discussing political views). That is what PUTC is for.

I have my own reasons also, most of them due to mydemocratic tendancies and my dislike of how the Bush has handled things. I will not argue that he would or wouldn't have done better than Gore. Its not relevant. I just believe that 4 more years of his administration will not improve the countries situation or reputation. I don't think it is all Dubya's fault, but he IS the person in charge of making things happen and I just don't think he can do it due to the influence of his parties supporters. This country needs a serious tuneup and if we continue on his path, we will need a major overhaul in 4 years.

 

Not Flamebait, only my opinion. Notice I did not repute any statements by anyone else. :thumbs:

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      My truck is a ¾ ton but my placard also says 80 for the rear tires, I think I might have the upgraded suspension to the 3500 series maybe.   I put my air down to 60 and the light was still on, and there was no way I was putting over 60 psi in the rear empty and not towing because I knew the actual number Toyo gave me and I didn't wanna ruin the center of my tires!   And you actually can change it in the settings from metric or is and it will show kph or mph then when you go into your tire settings it will be either psi or kpa, but it would be nice to just change it directly on the tire psi page

      Common Sense Assembly   Your driveline is forgiving of the occasional mistake. It will even often forgive the random serious blunder. But it will not forgive a continuous bad habit.      What? Not everything needs to be a five thousand word essay.

      Gas Prices

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      We drove about 15 minute east today to visit a friend and saw a steep increase in price in the same county. About 50 cents a gallon steepper.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Sure about that? A degree wheel and a dial indicator would lower your degree of assurance in that statement. 😉    It why we have offset keys and dialable timing sprockets. Just say'n.... I've built a few and have never seen one "On the money".

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I will admit I haven't experimented much with pressure drops beyond the numbers I put in and part of that is that the numbers I used are fairly low and then found out it would trigger regardless at that 35 psi. Having said that I had tried before had changed the placard pressures and being that I have a 1 ton set to 80 on the placard for the rear I believe it triggered close to 60, the front I don't recall now for sure but thought maybe it could get close to 45 from that factory 60 placard pressure. So I never did figure out if it was a number of psi from placard pressure to the alarm or a percentage of the total placard number as some figured it was like a 25% drop from placard pressure would trigger it. So as to try and answer your question, I believe I set the placard pressure on the front to 47 or so and while I run the front tires at 40, they have dipped below that some if its colder and I haven't put "winter air" in yet and never once have had the front alarm go off. I would say that the answer your looking for is no, that if you set your placard pressure to 45, you have a certain amount of room to drop below that pressure before the alarm will go off.    The pressures you decide to run in your truck, that ends up being what makes sense to you based on what your carrying in your truck or if towing, then have to bump them back up to something that will carry the load in the rear and the fronts typically left at the same pressure. It all comes down to that chart I put the link to and using an accurate roadside scale to be your guide, both unloaded and then loaded to know your minimum safe pressures.    I just wish GM would allow a person to change the readings for the tire pressures to the English system of pounds as I have to look at that goofy metric reading that will never ever jive in my head and will go over and change it just to figure out what they are if need be and then change it back.
