Gotta be an IRS, those 2 aluminum pieces look exactly like control arms....

"If more Ford pickup buyers tested out a Ram, Dodge might find itself short of trucks and long on cash." Funniest thing i read all day, i drove both.... I'd rather have an f150 thanks. Besides the Hemi (which has good power) the dodge is a pathetic truck compared to the Ford...

So is it gettin the 6 speed or just the 230 pip 3.0l?

here is a picture from the funeral today http://images.ctv.ca/archives/CTVNews/img2...eral_080116.jpg It just tears you apart seeing 7 young men laying in caskets A picture of the van http://images.ctv.ca/archives/CTVNews/img2...rash_080112.jpg

Living about 20 minutes from bathurst, it was a pretty horrible event that broke just about every heart around, including mine..... The roads were horrible here that night and i mean horrible, almost the worst roads we had so far all year. Freezing rain, ice pellets and snow mized together isn't good. The roads in montcon weren't all that bad so they continued home that night and after they got close to bathurst the roads were quite bad but they were only 5 mins from actually being home, so they kept going but they never made it..... The van hit the shoulder and went into a fishtail and he couldn't bring it back and was nailed by the transport which was probably doing near 55mph. It ripped the van to peices and ejected most of the boys into the snow. there was 12 passenger in the van, 8 were killed. One police officer could only do 30mph on a 60mph highway on the roads that night to get to the accident scene.... Shows how bad they were. I know one of the kids that made it out alive and from what he says, those few moments were pure horror..... He mangaed to walk with a broken pelvis, leg and arm. Checking upon his teamates ejected from the vehicle trying to keep them alive until help arrived but sadly none did.... No 15 passeger van would of made a difference unless maybe it had advancetrac.... The funeral was today in bathurst at the arena and was on many news stations live... i watched it and probably one of the worst things i ever went through, when your have to bury 7 people younger then yourself in this community.... The coach has driven this vehicle before without trouble i believe, they have had the van awhile and has been a coach for years.... In the end, there really is only one thing at fault, the weather. people can throw blame here and there, but 8 people died.... and it's been an awful week so far for everyone but it shows how much everyone cares with the support that has been coming in, from messages from the pope, the prime minister, toronto raptors having a moment of silence etc... It's just been unbelivable to see how much a community can come together in times like these... I know quite a bit about the story if anyone wants to know anything else.... Both the boys from my community here 20 mins from bathurst were lucky, the co captain was sick and stayed home that night and the other came out alive but like i said, has a broken pelvis, arm and leg. It would of made it even harder ( like it isn't hard enough) if any of the 2 boys in my small community were killed.... Bathurst is a city of only 13,000+ people.... RIP to the boys in red....

I got a chance to see a new black SD today, was driving toward me and it looked great.... Much better then in any picture. Great road presence to it.... Looks good rolling on the street. Much better then any heavy duty out there.

Mark fields, what do i win now ? :happy feet:

My 2004 taurus i just bought is missing the usual built with pride sticker? I wish it had one.... I am sure it was built in atlanta and wa wondering why it never came with one and since it's doesn't have one, can i get one?

Why is everyone blaming navistar for this, or ford? Ford or navistar can't forsee injectors(being made by siemens i believe) leaking, and diesel pooling up in the particulate filter then catching fire.... The particulate filter i imagine must need to run at high temps(like a cat) to take all the harmful gases etc... out of the exhaust. We were bound to see some teeting problems here and there with this engine since it's new.... A few leaking injectors out of 67,200 injectors? Not bad.... If a engine has leaky injector now, atleast now the filter won't catch fire or shoot flames out the pipe. The problems have nothing to do with a poor navistar design....

OMG oh no, the van is ugly please humpty dumpty don't by anymore of them for your delivery trucks.... These trucks are by far the best in their class, the GM ones are unreliable and i rarely see them compared to the ford ones. Don't get me started on Ram vans This is the best utility truck on the market, nobody gives a damn what they look like.

I seen a new escaspe limited loaded at my dealer yesterday.... It's a very nice vehiclke and the changes are striking like said earlier. I was very impressed with it myself. As a side not when i got there, the expy max they had was sold, the only 08 super duty they got in 2 days before was sold along with 3 new 07 f150's were sold.....Not work trucks either...

Here, Irving Oil and just about everyone has been making/selling low sulfur diesel for awhile and it's not marked on any pumps....

I heard the issue was solved and we would never see a vehicle like that again... for their sake i hope so.

The only real GM's i can agree on are the cts, the rest are kinda forgetable. The enclave is nice even with it's busy interior. The outlook and acadia are also quite nice but interiors could use some better materials on the inside and the exterior styling could be a little better and a less ho-hum vibe they give me. Great offerings though, just GM still has alot of trouble going the extra mile. The vue though, that thing is just bad..... It's downright homely to me and wouldn't be caught dead near one... GM did a horrible job redoing this Opel. They should of just left it alone, instead of downgrading it like they did. I hope to god they don't make the astra as homely. The malibu, though much better then the current, still isn't all that great, I still like the aura better. The malibu Seems to have all the same short comings interior wise as the aura,lousy material in many places, horrible rear styling (how that got by is beyond me) and a front end that is totally forgetable with the new ugly chevrolet front with it's 10 year old headlight design. The grill looks 2 times to big for this car and just gives it this bulbous feel. The car is a total letdown when parked against the fusion, aura and the rest. GM improved on the g6 with the aura then fell back down again with the malibu.... It's a plain vanilla car. GM is getting better but i see nothing that's ready to blow me away..... Yet
