    Ranger may need clean out

    I have a '88 Ranger that has about 190K miles on it. I'm sure it's somewhat gunked up inside. Someone told me I could run diesel motor oil in it and it'll do some cleaning since diesel oil, like RPM, is higher detergent than auto oil. Any comments?

    Do you 'spect counselor Whittington will sue the VP(in good lawyer fashion) for pain and injury, medical bills, bodily damage, punitive, etc? If he does(and most certainly will), and is awarded judgment, who do you think will pay? Does the VP have any special dispensation?

    Cheney

    As most know, VP Cheney went to the hospital this AM and was there for about 4 hrs for shortness of breath. It's thought it was brought on by fluid retention caused by anti-inflammatory taken for a "foot problem". Reports have said that the VP has suffered from gout in the past.<br /><br...
