Sludge

Site works fine here. No proxy used. IP address reported by nslookup is same as above. I also tried telnet 69.56.130.147 on port 80, and I can GET pages manually. It's an Apache web server, by the way...

I don't want to post the author's email address without asking, but here is his reply to my email.

"Yes, the site is still up.

If you have any questions feel free to ask. Regards Aaron"

Your beginning to remind me of the famous Dead Parrot scene in Monty Python.

This parrot is dead No its not dead, its sleeping. Beautiful plumage Never mind the plumage, this parrot is dead!

Hey Tegger.... he's waitin' for ya!

This is getting curious.

My iStop DSL account comes with a built-in backup dialup account with a company called tht.net. Since I came up totally blank no matter whether I used my ISP's name server or my own, and no matter whether I went through port 80 to the IP or not, I just now tried dialing up and connecting to rms13.com with the dialup. The dialup DHCP server does not appear to replace my name server with its own, which is odd.

Well guess what? It worked. It's there. And just like Car Guy says, it says "Welcome Tegger!" (I'm famous!)

I have emailed tech support for my ISP to see if they have any info on this issue. Will report back as soon as I hear from them.

Yeah. I just emailed tech support for my ISP. This is getting weird.

Do me a favor if you can? Go to that page on tegger.com where I said you changed your oil every 3K. If Earthlink has flushed its cache, you should see 4,500 in place of the 3,000.

If you see 4,500, then Earthlink flushes its cache in hours not days, and I've got an issue with my ISP.

And so was the PR move on the 1MZFE.

False, check Chrysler, they have sludge showing up too.

Not only that, it can be completely eliminated.

And thats a fair statement. From what I've seen, if you went over all the time by a bit, no problem, but if you went way over by a bunch, ie

12,000 miles (and there is plenty out there that will do it) you will have sludge. We have seen them up to 23,000 miles, no oil changes. Naturally, it was all gooey inside. Granted, other engines in the Toyota line can go a long time with no problems, these are just not as well at taking abuse. And I mean abuse. Ed, this is from what I've seen and we have never had a sludge customer who had a record of service, if he did, it always had a huge hole in it. Funny, the sludge shows up mainly in Seinnas. While other rigs like the Camry, none. But the type of people who'd drive a minivan are less likely to take car of their rigs than a Tundra owner. ANd I can tell you, the most meticulous custoemrs as far as servcie goes in is the Tundra guys. These fellas are top notch when it comes to service. Camty guys are pretty good. Landcruiser/Sequoia guys are about 50/50, either anal or awful, no gray area.

If their is sludge, reflect on your 7500+ intervals. ;-D

Favor accomnplished. I find no passages whatsoever regarding my ol Prizm at all. (sniffle).

Nicely written sludge treatise!

I was being ... indirect ... suggestive of what SHOULD have been done. Must have thrown you for a loop, eh? LOL

Sounds to me like your ISP has issues and needs to fix some things.

Thank you.

The pages are not particularly well-organized.

I got a return email from iStop. They are able to access

with no trouble.

On a hunch, I tore down my router's firewall, which restored connectivity to

Looks like I have a firewall config problem to fix. Odd that it only affects this IP...

I apologize to Aaron for calling him a spammer.

Excuse me, but do you block incoming port 53 on your firewall? I manage a fw or so and have heard that some noises about blocking the DNS port, but never heard practical reasons yet not to block it. If you had a problem in this area, I'd like to hear about it.

In particular, if you know that another DNS server answered, other than the one(s) that your caching DNS server contacted, that would be helpful. Thanks.

In the letter I received there was never any admission to any fault or defect. Toyota reiterated that proper oil changes are necessary to prevent engine damage and due to some negative rumors they were going to extend the warranty, if needed, if I could provide documentation I had serviced the vehicle only once each year. Pretty responsible and caring company I'd say. Try to get one of the Big Three to do that for you after you neglect your vehicle like the 1/10 of 1 percent of Toyota owners did and are now misrepresenting facts. davidj92

David, Chrysler is having sludge trouble and they told the customers to stuff it. Of course, its neglect, and this is the correct path IMHO, but Toyotas extended warranty was a PR move.
