good bungee cords

What brand of bungee cords do you guys use? I have one that I have used for years and it is still good but I don’t know the brand. I also have some that I bought a year or two ago from Orschlens and they are junk. I also bought some at Wally World and they haven’t held up either. Anybody have any good ones that last?

A Truck Oil Question

I am coming up on my oil change on my Hemi. It will have 90000 at the oil change interval. I go 10000 miles between oil changes with Mobile 1 5W20 and my analysis on it says that mileage is just fine. I keep seeing Mobile 1 in a 0W20 weight that says increases fuel mileage. I don’t understand how it will save mileage because the only difference is at start up and at temp it is at a 20wt. Can anybody explain the theory and if I should just stick with what I have been using or give the 0W20 a shot.

Rear ended last night

Was rear ended last night sitting at a stop light by a woman I’m guessing didn’t even try to stop. She pushed us to the middle of the intersection she hit us so hard. My wife & I are o.k. (we just spent 4hrs in the emergency room to find out she has a cyst on an ovary). I haven’t even had the truck a full year yet!
Not sure what’s going to happen yet, the police report isn’t available yet. My insurance said they will start the claim when they get her info from the report.
This really sucks, I hope they total it.

dodge owners

OK so today I get this recall notice in the mail.
it made me Question " DODGE"
SO, it says this, dodge trucks from yrs 2003-2009 are having a recall on air bags
due to there is some issue with metal parts being in them and too much pressure
states, CAN cause serious injury or death if bag is deployed!
and then the best part
says, WE DON"T have the updated repair parts YET
BUT when we do, we will send you another recall notice that you can THEN take to your local dodge dealer and have repair done??

HUMM< so they just sent me a letter telling me I MIGHT have a very dangerous air bag that MIGHT kill me in a crash
BUT they don’t have any repair parts YET!
LIKE WHY bother even sending me a notice till they have the fix and parts???
MAYBE they just want me to have a lawyer on stand by NOW< , or maybe I should have me a fender bender and sue LOL
well MIGHT have to start driving in my old MX racing gear and a helmet HAHA!

OH well, just made me laugh I guess, sending me a notice about a dangerous condition and NO fix??
SO all you Dodge haters, here is some ammo LOL
I still like my truck
I did hit a deer at 75 mph and NO air bag came out, hell was still able to drive truck 1,000+ miles to get me home
RAM TUFF GUYS, proven here *well was a 10 point buck, NOT a ram so?? ) HAHA!
