Yes, I DO have a motorcycle and YES I do plan to ride it every chance I get. In Wisconsin here the mornings are still pretty cold so I'm NOT ready to freeze my ***** off yet when I'm going to work at 4am. Yes, I am an organ donor as well and 4 years ago I ALMOST doned, but I got lucky and after 3 surgeries later I'm still riding today. Maybe next time. LOL I shouldn't joke about it as it could happen sooner then I expect, but I figure the good ole lord is going to take me when he needs me no matter what I'm doing at that given time. As long as it's during sex or riding my motorcycle I will have a smile on my face and have happy thoughts, and I guess either way I'm going to be saying "oh ****, here it comes!"

 

Or you could be driving your truck and live through it just fine, rather than meeting God with a smile.

I'm sorry, its just my personal opinion. I call motorcycle owners "organ donors" because, if it were up to me, those things would be illegal except for off-road and show. So I guess 99% of you here are glad its not up to me. I just think they are no where near as safe as a normal vehicle, no matter how good a driver you are.

 

Well that's a given that a 4 wheel vehicle is safer than a 2 wheel vehicle. In any event though, one can have an accident in either one and still meet our maker. We can be walking across the street and get hit by a vehicle and NOT even be on or in one and same results. We're all going to meet our maker sooner or later, so might as well have fun before that day comes.

 

Please someone correct me if I'm wrong, but the intake is actually a two peice system. The brilliant minds at Chrysler, apparently in an effort to get us to buy new, made the bottom of steel and top of aluminum. The two metals have different expansion factors, so the contant warming/cooling tears the gasket apart, allowing the intake to suck oil in from the lifter valley. The burning oil leaves carbon deposits on the plugs and o2 sensors, reducing their effectiveness. The only ways I'm aware of to fix it is to weld the two together (different metals don't weld very well though) or to replace the steel pate with an aluminum one, like I plan on doing.

 

My 3.9 V6 gets 16-18 mpg. Has it ever seemed strange to you that, with the exception ofsome but not all v8 owners,so many people report basically about the same mpg? I mean, straight shift, automatic, overdrive, v6 or v8, why isn't there more variation?Has it got anything to do with the computer?

 

after reading all this and being from wisconsin also thats basicly it. ride the bike when you canor do some things to the truck to help it breath better. although you wouldent be getting the mpg of a honda its better then getting it of a topfuel dragster.
