    If you think Muslims are dumb

    Wonder what would have happened if this occurred at an Israel airport? I do not think they would have been on a plane then.

    Rose Colored Glasses

    That is a great post Terry! I believe it to be the way it is (simple logic if thought about). In retirement a simpler home is my expectation,40' fifth wheeler(not brand new). Yep, call me a snowbird at that time. On a side note, what two states in the continental U.S. have you not been through?

    Canada border crap

    Got a NRA life member sticker in plain view. Never been searched and asked only once. I do not agree with many gov. policies (U.S. or any others). The Can. people have been kinder to me than many of my own fellow subjects. I would rather deal with Can. customs agents than U.S. customs. Please...

    Americans are ignorant about Canadians:

    Wendy's bought the great Timmy's? Please say it ain't so. Next to Kona grown coffee, Tim Horton's coffee with a double dip maple is paradise with your eyes closed.

    Fyda Freightliner

    All I gotta say about Fyda is " blow cigar smoke in my face and walk away, that just lost my business". Please think about that before buying from Fyda. By the way, Mr. cigar smoker(you know your name,in case you ever read this), I paid CA$H for the Century. Remember, looks ain't everything.

    Post #1063 in truck talk

    Hey everybody, look at this post. Item regarding "rumble strip noise" from trans. is a concern (I think, but I do not have experience with Sprinters). This co. says they are basically for the benefit of public schools (of course everyone needs a profit). Can anyone shed some light on this.

    Just acquired a well-loved 02 Sprinter; ISO genera

    RE: Just acquired a well-loved 02 Sprinter; ISO ge >4) How many of you with 02 Sprinters experience the "rumble >strip" tranny noise problem? Uh, to me any "rumble strip noise" from the trans. is a problem but I do not own or drive a Sprinter. I for one would like to hear a lot more from...

    AlumiBunk Got me

    Life is too short, it can end at any time. I gave up accumulating stuff, that's all it is, just stuff. I would rather be remembered as a good father, husband, and friend, not "Well he's dead but he left us lot's of stuff". I have my share of repairs, breakdowns, etc. it gets upsetting at...

    Gm and Ford auto trans.

    What miles are these 2 trans. getting before rebuilds are required? Would really like to hear about any tech. tips that have panned out. Teacel, are you out there still running vans?

    New GM diesel vans

    I have always wondered what kind of miles everybody gets out of GM and Ford auto trans.. Time for a post on that.

    New GM diesel vans

    The new GM diesel van will have a 4L85E trans. instead of the 4L80E. Gassers (I believe) will have, as in the past, a 4L60E. This is only my opinion but almost anything is better than a Ford auto Trans.(I prefer their manuals). As with the 4L80E, change the shift parameters to a hard shift to...

    fairy tales

    What's the difference between a fairy tale and a trucker story? A fairy tale begins with "Once upon a time" and a trucker story begins with "This ain't no bull----". Lame but kinda true.

    Bless the Pope

    I just found out the Pope passed from this earth, if this is your faith a prayer is appreciated. If not, think of the man that tried to do some good. GOD bless all of you.

    My decision was made for me

    Truckerbuddy, is that response to me? I did not go into detail like raceman (why not look for his post on that and ask him if he would like some wine?), don't have the time. That,like Raceman, was only meant to point out the potential problems that come up when you get into this, or any...

    My decision was made for me

    Good luck Raceman. Maybe someday I can buy you coffee and relate my horror stories (s/t burned to the ground,rearended at 70 HARD in van, another van needed trans. then backed into by t/t, van driver---uh, well he screwed up). I am at 1 s/t and 1 van now. If fuel comes down a bit I'll spring for...
