I've heard that these trucks are supposed to be pretty smooth, but apparently no one told mine that. It's a 2001 RWD SLT Plus with the 4.7 L. It's gotten progressively worse over the last 2 years I've owned the thing. I feel a lot of the road underneath the truck, and it takes speedbumps and potholes way rougher than I know it should. I know it probably needs new upper ball joints/control arms because I can wiggle the front driver's side tire a little when it's jacked up (the tire is mounted to the hub just fine), and the tires won't align perfectly, but I know that can't be the only issue.

Things I've replaced so far:

Rack and pinion

Inner and outer tie rods

Rear tires (now running 255/70R16 Valera H/T's, front tires are Cooper 255/65R16's that are about to get replaced with tires identical to the rears)

Lower control arms (both sides)

Front and rear shocks (running KYB Gas shocks)

Two front wheel hubs, one rear

What else could be going wrong? I can't tell if the rear leaf springs or the front coil springs are bad, how would I determine that? Could it possibly be the body bushings? I was at a loss after I replaced the shocks and there was no difference. Any help is appreciated.

Hey everyone, I ve got a question about my air conditioning in my 2001 Durango SLT, 4.7L RWD. It never seems to be blowing as cold as it should, even though I have a brand new compressor and it s full of R134a (so far s I know). I don t believe it s my receiver-drier or accumulator, I don t have the associated smell. It s not the blower motor either. We checked the blend doors inside the dash, they seem to be working properly. It just never gets very cool during these hot summer days in Florida. It blows semi-cool in the mornings and evenings, and it s certainly cold in the winter, but I m roasting in there during the daytime. It should be much colder than it is.

Oh, and I m only getting hot air out of the front passenger side vents no matter what I do with the controls.

What could be the problem here? The pressures were all fine when we filled up the freon, and the blend doors appeared to be working properly when we took the dash apart.

I'm a 21 year old male trying to get back into shape and I'm about to begin a keto cutting session to lose body fat in general. What I'm stuck on is the training method for my legs. For whatever reason, most of my extra weight concentrates in my legs and my lower stomach, and my legs look disproportionate to my upper body (they have more muscle mass too). Aside from training my upper body to catch up, how do I train my legs to either lean them out or at the least keep them the same size, to change my bodily proportions?

I keep hearing conflicting info on this. Some people say a low volume, high weight, 2-3 minute rest approach is best, others say that doing light weight with high volume (15+ reps) is the way to go. Others say you should skip weights and just do bodyweight exercises and plyometrics along with long distance slow pace running.

What's the real answer here?

I currently have 13 strands of the mini Christmas lights (non-incandescent) connected to a 6-outlet wall adapter, which is plugged into two wall outlets. Is it possible for this to overload some circuits? Some electronics at the front of my house are not working, like my garage door opener and my sprinkler control pad. The two outside plugs that all the lights were connected to via extension cord are dead too. Would it be possible for that many strands to burn them out? There are probably 2300 lights in total out there.

I've got a 2001 Dodge Durango SLT 4.7L V8, 4x2, automatic transmission. Several months back I had a problem where the engine would overheat, water was not properly flowing throughout the radiator system. Only the top hose was hot, the bottom was cold. This seemed to go away after replacing the water pump, thermostat, and bleeding the system for air pockets. Yesterday, I put more water in the reservoir and I opened the radiator hose, saw there was no water in there, and filled it. It also had issues with the crankshaft position sensor, the original burned out, I replaced it, then the replacement burned out, and I replaced that one with a Mopar OEM part.

Now today, I'm getting the same symptoms from the car that tells me the fourth CPS is going bad: overdrive coming on and off, RPM surging, stuttering and jerky driving. I shut it off for a while, started it up again, seemed to be mostly doing okay and then I started getting the overheating problem again. I don't know if maybe they're related somehow? Also, the first CPS went bad before I started getting the overheating problem.

I can think of a few explanations for the CPS: the connecting wire for the CPS is bad, or there's some other short in the system. I don't have a volt meter to test things out with.

For overheating: more air pockets in the system, or another failed thermostat. Or, the used AC compressor I installed (it has a loose front end where the belt loops around, it squeaks a little bit) is damaging the belt.

I live in Florida and I just bought a used car in a private sale. It was a weekend so we couldn t go to the DMV to get the title that was saved there electronically so the guy I bought it from said he would get it and mail it to me. I don t think he was trying to scam me, because when we were originally planning for me to look at the car he suggested I come on a weekday so we could go to the DMV together. The VIN check also came up clean. He called me from the DMV two Thursdays ago to confirm he got my name right, and I haven t heard from him since, or seen the title. I ve tried calling, texting, and even mailing him, trying to get a hold of him. What recourse do I have besides suing in small claims court? Is it possible to get the title if my dad (who was there) and I make sworn affidavits and say we tried to contact him after he promised a title and got no response? I do have a bill of sale that he wrote with both our names on it (it s not an official DMV form) and one of his license plate numbers that was originally on the vehicle (he let me borrow it to drive it home). What can I do?

I hear a lot of mixed opinions on the subject. I'm a 19 year old guy in college and a virgin, and it doesn't really bother me personally, I just haven't had the right opportunity with someone who's worth it to me. But I do sometimes worry that the majority of girls would be turned off or less interested if they knew I was completely inexperienced, with both relationships and sex, simply because they might look at it as "oh, no one else wanted him, what's wrong with him?" Or "he's less attractive." And I'm asking about the opinion of all types of girls, those who've been around the block a few times, to a girl who's had maybe one or two sexual partners, to a virgin. And it's not like I'm ugly, many girls have told me I'm everything from handsome to hot to just attractive. I personally think I have a lot going for me in other ways too.

So, does it matter to any of these groups of girls?

Would it be different for a hookup vs a relationship?

Do women automatically expect a guy to "know what he's doing" and to please her?

I'm a 19 year old guy in college and a virgin, most I've ever done is kiss a girl and that was only one time. Do girls really care about this? Both from the hook up and relationship perspectives please. It doesn't bother me really, I'm just worried about what girls may think. And I'm not completely clueless about sex, I've read a lot.

Let me explain why I'm inexperienced. Didn't date in high school because the only girls I thought were worth it were already taken. In college, I've had no time to get to know a girl well enough to ask her out or she's already in a relationship. Tinder hasn't done anything for me. I also wasn't truly ready for a relationship until about a year and a half ago, and I wasn't that good looking until about two years ago. I've had multiple girls tell me I'm a great guy with lots of great qualities and a lot going for me and that I was attractive. Bearing that in mind, is this a bad spot to be in?

I'm an almost 19 year old virgin guy, would this be an issue to most girls around college age? I mean when it comes to dating, not a one night stand. I've had no previous dating experience and I've only kissed one girl, that's as far as I've gone sexually. I consider myself good looking and multiple girls have told me I am, but while I'm fit I'm not particularly impressive physically (yet) and my dick is only about 5.5 long and 5.25 around. I know these are somewhat superficial things, but would these pose any kind of issue to a typical college girl who might want to date me?

So I'm a college freshman, nearly 19 years old, and I haven't yet dated anyone, I'm a virgin. But I've read a lot about sex, so it's not like I'm clueless. However, I feel it's safe to assume that most girls in the age range I'd be looking to date in college probably won't be virgins themselves. Part of me is okay with this, but another feels a bit jealous over it. I'd be losing my virginity to someone who'd already lost theirs to someone who wasn't me. Logically, I know it probably shouldn't matter, they're with me and not them and all that. It would also depend on how many people they'd slept with and under what circumstances. But there are times I feel a mix of anger, jealousy and a little resentment when I think about it. Maybe I'm letting my primal instincts get to my head too much. How am I supposed to know if they really value me and our relationship, and maybe even wish I'd been their first, or if I'm just another notch on the post to them? Any help would be appreciated

Please guide me step by step, I'm very confused

I'm an 18 year old guy, never had a girlfriend, and a virgin. For good reason, I wasn't ready for a long time and I even had a couple opportunities where I could probably have had sex but decided not to, and when I was ready I couldn't find anyone truly worth it. But my question is, what would most girls think about this, especially around the college age? How would you girls react coming from the scenario of a potential hookup, or for a potential real relationship? I feel like most girls would run away from a virgin because the guy is expected to "know what he's doing" and because girls don't want to risk the guy getting clingy. I would just not tell her, but if I'm not all that great the first time or three I want her to understand why...I have done a lot of research and I know a lot about sex but it's very different from actually doing it, experience is the best teacher. Thoughts ladies?

So I'm an 18 year old guy, and I've never had a girlfriend, I am a virgin. I'm definitely not bad looking, and I think (and have been told by multiple people) that I have a lot going for me. Things just never worked out for me romantically, the girls I liked were usually either already taken, uninterested, or sometimes both. I've only kissed one girl, once, and never gone any farther than that. There have been a few opportunities I could have probably gotten sex but I chose not to because I knew in the long run it was a bad idea, and I knew I'd probably regret it later.

Honestly it's something I do feel insecure about. I feel like in sex, as the guy, there's a lot of expectations on me and I'm supposed to know what I'm doing, and while I have done a lot of research it's different than actually doing it. And I'm told that any girl worth dating will be understanding and willing to help me learn, but I don't want to feel like they have to make special allowances for me or take a few disappointing rounds before I actually get good, I really care about the girls experience for the sake of my own ego, and for her enjoyment. And I don't want to be looked at as sweet, cute and innocent either.

Basically, girls, what's your opinion on the situation? Would I still be considered desireable, hot, sexy, even though I haven't had previous experience?

I was talking to a female friend of mine, same as as me (18) and I really, really like her, but sadly she already has a boyfriend and she's not interested in me like that. Last night we were talking and I asked her about her evening and she said she'd spent it with her boyfriend (of 2-3 months), and in the middle of telling me what they did she said "and um lots of other fun stuff," and of course I know what that means. Basically, I just get extremely jealous that she is with, and has sex with, someone else, and I know I have no right to control her, and I don't want to. I only feel this way because of how strongly I feel and care about her. It also doesn't help that I'm a virgin who's only kissed a girl and she's had sex with two guys now. How do I deal with this?

And I should mention that she rarely ever talks about this with me because she knows how it affects me

I already asked this but I wanted to expand on my situation. Some girls say it's a turn on, and while I have done a lot of research on sex I haven't had it, never had a girlfriend either, only ever kissed a girl (one). It bothers me only because I care about the girl's experience, and I hate the idea of being looked at as cute and innocent, makes me feel a bit uncomfortable and less masculine, which is what I thought most girls wanted. I'm not really shy about the subject either.
