Locate an Auto Repair Shop in Garrett, Wyoming

hello -- I have to assume you're already aware that Routan is rebadged Chryler Town/Country. Chrysler does various annoying things with Entertainment system that have been addressed by company called Coastal Tech (coastaletech.com). The product you need is something called LockPick. I just installed a LockPick.v3 into our 2009 Routan SEL and it works perfectly -- unlocks all features (including ability to view ANY input on head-unit when in motion -- including rear camera, video_aux, video VES screen, etc). I bought off ebay ... but it's cheap solution to complex problem. current solution is now LockPick.v4. includes option to connect to laptop to upload firmware updates over time (regularly updated). -Garrett

As a prior small turbo (Garrett) diesel (1.9 to 2.0 L) engine consumer, I would want to get the 411 on who is producing the product for the Chevrolet Cruze. THEN the US version literally has NO track record in its intended markets. Not to sing the praises of the VW TDI, BUT it has been pretty bullet proof over some time (10 years) and many miles. In fact, I would see it as heads and shoulders more durable and reliable than almost any gasser engine VW makes. Keep in mind that w/w VW is second only to Toyota. I would also agree with gogogodzilla, many big names have indicated turbo diesels and have for one reason or another decided it was not worth the hassle.

I think it is more of a case of reality sinking in. AGW is about extorting money from the tax payers. Democrats for some reason believe that does not include them. And probably for about 75% of Democrats it does not. Here is an interesting case of opposition within the Sierra Club over GW and Wind Generators. Industrial Wind Turbines Threaten Western MD Forest's Wildlife The Sierra Club supports the development of substantial wind resources for electricity generation. Wind power is a clean, renewable resource that can help reduce our use of polluting fossil fuels (coal and natural gas) for electricity. The Maryland Chapter Sierra Club opposes wind energy development in protected areas such as State Parks, Natural Environmental Areas, designated and proposed state Wildlands, Wildlife Management Areas, Heritage Conservation Fund Properties, and other areas that have special scenic, natural or environmental value, including old growth or areas providing habitat for forest interior dwelling species (FIDS). In these areas, it is inappropriate to build wind turbines, roads, transmission lines, or any other structure related to wind development. The commercially viable wind energy development sites (onshore) in Maryland’s State-owned public lands (State Lands) occur predominantly on State Forests located in its far-western counties – Allegany and especially Garrett. A proposal to construct two industrial wind facilities on western Maryland's State Forests is under consideration by the Department of Natural Resources (DNR), who has posed this public policy question to Maryland’s citizens: "Is industrial wind energy development an appropriate use of State Lands?" http://maryland.sierraclub.org/action/p0133.asp In California we run into the same kind of NIMBY mentality from Environmentalists. In Maryland & CA it stands in the way of reaching their mandated goals of renewable energy. A lot of people in MD want Wind power. How many want it in their line of sight? Historically, Maryland has been a very eco-conscious state, boasting some of the nation’s most stalwart environmental laws. In spite of this connection, Maryland overwhelmingly relies upon the planet’s dirtiest fossil fuel, coal, to meet its electricity needs. Nearly 60 percent of Maryland’s electricity comes from coal-fired power plants http://www.marylandoffshorewind.org/

Will be skipping Detriot this year (would be there on the press days) but may make the Chi-town show for the press days. Will be "working" anyway but it'll still be cool. Oh, and steve & kyfdx, in terms of the food, it depends on where you go and if you're actually in the city. Chicago pizza is not deep-dish and there really isn't such a thing as "Chicago" or "Chicago style Pizza". And note the Giordano locations near and in downtown are really considered for yuppies and suburbanites. If you want the real deal go to the one in Hyde Park. This also goes with Portillos; you're best chance to get the real deal on polishes, hot dogs, italian beef and the like are at certain spots in the city, not downtown and certainly not at Portillos. And don't forget about Garrett's Popcorn. But honestly, with an 8 hour layover getting to the station, then down town & checking the sites, back to the airport & through security all in February

You asked ==> "Are you certain of that? What model number is the turbo... I seriously doubt a variable vane modern turbo would not have a watercooled center section. " I am ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN that my TDI VNT turbocharger is not watercooled. It is fairly easy to "coake" the oil in an oilcooled turbocharger. This is one reason that VW specifies synthetic oil. (resistance to 'coaking') Since you asked ...It is a Garrett model number "VNT15" Note: Some newer TDIs use "VNT17"
