It's for the Gays. Equal rights for all and they are showing that they are gay and want the same rights and not to be treated differently. The new rainbow sticker. At least that is what it means around these parts.

Hmmm... since I'm a male and I love my female fiance', would it be appropriate to put a white square with >? Lol.

Got nothing against gay people, do whatever floats your boat just keep that **** out of the government and out of my kids schools!

Answered my own question, 1995 Ford F-150 rear shocks but get the long ones of the two pairs. Napa part #RR 94281. These match my requirements with an extended length of 26.375" and a compressed length of 15.75". I got the pair, my cost for $40.28 with tax! I don't care if they perform as well as Rancho's, I'm just sick of my old ones thumping because they're old and blown out!

Unhappy Ghost problem

My 89 jeep cherokee pioneer won't start. All the electric works but it won't crank the starter. I totally cleaned the NSS out like new and everything. I put a new battery in it, starter works fine, and I cleaned and checked all the terminal connections and fuses. It will start and run fine after letting it sit for an extended period of time (usually overnight) but then just not start out of the blue, daily. I also tried to bypass the NSS however it won't start then either. I even went to the extreme of filling every single wire terminal connection with dielectric grease. Like i said, it runs fine then won't start other times. I put some flood lights on it and Hooked up my electric fan to an auxiliary switch but it was quite some time ago and it never gave me trouble even after I installed those. I upgraded the radiator system to an open system and it has worked fine but when I had the older closed system, it used to leak hot coolant on the wires under the hood. Regardless, it worked fine for about 2 weeks after I installed the new radiator system. . So i had no problems for about 2 weeks after all my costumization. Any ideas? Im at the end of my wits.

Like I said, they wont thump and will actually dampen the bumps I hit unlike my current ones, and I'm running a junkyard lift so it already rides like crap!!

So your problem is that periodically, the starter won't turn? Usually it's the nss but since you tried bypassing it and cleaning it to no avail i'd check your ignition switch and associated wiring.
