You might see a little improvement but don't expect miracles. Fish oil won't do anything for for her arthritis. The three most common supplements for arthritis are chondroitin, glucosamine and MSM. MSM seemed to give the most improvement with some of my old dogs. Glucosamine worked better...

One question at a time. I have a 1996 Ram 1500. It isn't much different that a 94. I have towed over 5,000 pounds on mountain roads without any trouble. Mine did not come with a factory towing package so I added an aftermarket transmission cooler and trailer brake controller. I drive on...

I have the same truck. 1996 Ram 1500 SLT 4X4 with the 5.9 engine. It has been driven that fast numerous times and the tach never has hit the redline. I didn't even know it had a rev limiter. It sounds like your transmission might not be shifting into overdrive. I can't say anything...

An engine rebuilder near me advertises 318 non magnum engines for $995. That includes a 4 year/40,000 mile warranty. I'm not going to guess horsepower or mpg. There are too many possibilities of camshafts, valve sizes, compression ratios and carburetors. It depends what you want. Discuss...

They are good little cars. I would also take a hard look at a Ford Escape. Ford and Toyota have been rated the same in reliability for the last few years. Fuel economy is about the same and the Ford has more interior space. The Escape and RAV4 are about the same price but when parts wear out...

The Ford 4.2 made 27 more horsepower than the Dodge 3.9. The 3.9 is a more reliable engine. Don't mess with it. When the Ford dies the Dodge will still have 100,000 miles of life. Who gets the last laugh? 5 horsepower isn't worth the hassle of changing a manifold and risking breaking...

I recently bought a fishing boat and am going to get my guide license. I have a 16 foot aluminum boat with a 28 HP outboard. It's nothing fancy but it's comfortable for me and three sports and well equipped with downriggers and a fish finder. Mostly I will be trolling for landlocked salmon...

Go to the Dodge web site and build the truck you want. Then click the search button and they will find a dealer with that truck in stock.

Get the Ford. All of them are good cars and will go a quarter million miles with proper maintenance. That maintenance will be less expensive on the Ford because Toyota parts are expensive.

The paint you buy at a craft store is probably not intended for exterior use. Read the label or check the manufacturer's web site. Exterior house paint will last and you might be able to get 2 ounce sample cans for a couple dollars each. The worst case scene would have you buying quart cans...

I am not familiar with the Super Chip. I installed a Jet Hyperchip in my 1996 Ram 1500 with a 5.9 (360) engine about 110,000 miles ago. The truck has 227,000 miles now and is still my everyday transportation.

I am going to buy a mini-van. I found a 1994 AWD Grand Voyager and I 1994 front wheel drive Grand Caravan. Both are clean one owner cars with about 120,000 miles. If I buy the AWD version will I be looking at expensive repairs that could be avoided by buying the FWD version?

It is a good deal for an Explorer that year and miles. I know of several Explorers with over 200,000 miles and one with 300,000k. If it has been well cared for it should have many miles left before it dies. You don't say what is wrong with your Chrysler but with only 80,000 miles it shouldn't...

No. While waste can be burned for energy much waste is very dirty to burn. Because of the air pollution caused by burning certain waste materials the damage to the environment is more than the benefit from the energy. Therefore not all waste should be used as an energy source.

Are there any high school or college dropouts in congress? John W33, How much schooling did congressman Frank have? avg joe, can you be more specific? Give me names and educational background.
