How ever did this myth of Air in the line get started???? The water pressure in a house is above atmospheric pressure so if you were to get a hole in the line water would spray out before air would rush in. The 2 exceptions to the rule are a venturi that is used on a well tank (very old school and rarely done now a days) or the water heater is scaled up and is boiling the water and creating hydrogen or oxygen gas to be released. Both of the issues will give you sputtering at the faucet not a loud noise. The loose washer in either a faucet or the angle stop valves can cause the noise but will only vibrate when you use the faucet that makes the noise. If the noise appears all by it's self then look at the toilet ballcocks if the flapper is bad then it will cause it to cycle even without anyone using it because the water level has stopped. The easiest way to find out which one it is is to turn one of them off and see if the noise does not appear. Work your way around the house doing one toilet a day and then replace the ballcock and flapper with a FluidMaster 400a ballcock and a good quality flapper (korky). If that does not resolve it then it is time to test the solenoid valves on the washer machine,humidifyer, or the dishwasher all of these will work the same way the faucet rule applies. The last check their is is the Pressure regulating valve that may or may not be located in the main water line were the cutoff valve is to the house. This check and job should be done by a plumber unless you can solder and are familiar with the testing because if you do it wrong you can flood the house or make it so you can't turn the water back on until it is fixed. Hope this helps Art

If you have an aluminum boat that sits in the water that has electric run to the dock/marina you should install EXTRA magnesium/zinc anode to a grounded part of the boat. The pitting and corroding you see on the motor is actually happening all over the boat. Art

Normally I would let this pass but you are spewing crap about a truck you haven't even looked at. How is it you can say the frame on the Nissan flexes it is a full box frame that is designed to be used on a future 1 ton vehicle but also their future diesel platform. It is a 1/2 ton truck rated to tow 9500 lbs and is very well engineered. The tailgate is easily removed by lifting it off two 1 inch bolt assy. if that's what your referring to it is not a flex issue so much as a convient and easily removed tailgate. The sheet metal on the truck comes from the same plant that the infinity are made at a car noted for superior fit and form on it's sheetmetal. Nissians are not for everyone and I wouldn't dream of suggesting that they are for everyone but to bash something you don't like with lies ain't right. I base this all on fact and I have owned and drive ALL of the big name trucks and for me at this time it is Nissan over domestic trucks. Art

I would find the average price thru the internet and coin collector forums. Then E bay with reserve. Anything that does not sell offer to the forums and then see if a dealer wants to buy the rest. Art

The salt also keeps them from sticking together. If you want to add salt to them make sure it is natural salt or kosher salt most table salts have iodine in it and it will destroy the baits. Art
