    Been looking at trucks again

    You were very helpful! The 06 gmc in Hampton roads that you posted we are considering going to look at. We really do not want or need a new truck but with all the discounts it is VERY tempting. I am not in a huge rush, just keeping my eye out for something that suits us.

    Common Cold Remedies and Treatments

    Vit C, Echinacea, and increase fluid intake, supplement with gatorade/poweraid. Treat the fever with Tylenol, cough with halls cough drops and the rest with dayquil/nyquil. Most of the time lately in my area most people are over the "bug" in less than a week.

    How many sets of injectors has your truck(s) gone through?

    My Dad has 170k on what once was my truck, I had them replaced under warranty once. Since then no issues minus the injector wiring chaffing.

    I was looking to get another opinion on my 02 jetta tdi. originally the car would have a surge in idle, blowing white smoke. upon acceleration it would blow HEAVY black smoke unless at full throttle. I unhooked the vacuum line from the egr valve and it runs great now. while it was running...
