    Obama follows Constitution on Syria

    Back to the original question,Obama is letting Congress decide because he knows they will get done sonetime by next year after all the holidays & then he can blame them for being indecisive.

    Need to replace fuel pump in a chevy express van

    I replaced mine for the first time in my 2002 Savana last year & dropped it out,it isn't that hard of a job. Oh & if you don't know don't let gas get lower than 1/4 tank or it overheats the pump causing it to tie up. HTH Bob

    In Ohio when your over 10K-26K you need a med card,log book (when goiong over 100 air mi)&DOT #. If you have airbrakes in this truck you only need an airbrake endorsement if your hauling Hazmat or over 15 passengers. I read the rules when I got my truck last yr & that's the way I understand...

    The most reliable non CDL box truck.

    I forgot to mention in our state(Ohio) since it's under 26 K all I need is a logbook,DOT# & a med card to drive it. I wopuld need a CDL with the airbrakes if it was a passenger vehicle or hauling haxmat,I have been told I needed one by an ex trucker but proved him wrong in the rules. Bob

    Change truck rear end change ratio

    I'm guessing you want a better road gear?If so it would also help to know what trans you have some have an overdrive gear. So to answer your question a 3.70 would be better on the road.I have a truck that came a 4.10 ratio && @ 65 the rpm was approx 3400 rpm that's alot more than I wanted to...
