    What Kind of Oil?

    Blocked DPF, extra maintenance down the road, the oil may not hold up as long as it should. The differences in the oil is small, but it matters. Using an oil with out the right spec can void a warranty as well.

    Vans chaining up...

    I wouldn't trust this system with my worst enemies life, let alone my own. Are they even legal in Colorado and such states? What tests back up there claims? Are they DOT approved? Sure they may give some grip while driving, but what would keep the chains under the wheel when braking? Friction...

    Looking to buy a nice camera.

    I have the t1i. I love it. I've used my mothers nikon before, don't remember the model but it was equivalent to the T1i, and its colors were nice and it felt solid. I've taken over 20,000 photos with the T1i, and have close to 4000 on filckr. The shutter is doing great, haven't had problems...

    Obama Speaks, Markets listen

    I don't have much, and I'm only using a mutual fund, but I'm still putting more into it now than I had planned to at this point in the year. I'm hoping it drops another $1 or $2 from what it is now. (My fund) Although....that would require even more negative responses from the economy..

    HI from... The oil guy!?

    I'm used to sitting now as it is. In my current gig, doing marketing, I drive 40,000 a year if even. I either sit in hotel rooms, the sleeper, or in the trailer while talking to people. I am also on the road 9-10 months of the year, with one week home during that time. I see having slightly more...

    HI from... The oil guy!?

    So I've been browsing these forums since the expedite show. I was there with speedco/shell Rotella, and got my interest peaked after looking at the straight trucks sitting in front of me. I've considered doing expedite before, usually in a T/T since thats what Im used to, but the sleepers...

    MotorKote Lubricant

    I'm impressed. Normally, in my job, I am having to explain this to people. Motorkote claims to not have any chlorine, but that could also be lawyer speak for not having liquid chlorine poured into it. Virgin oil analysis, as shown on bob is the oil guy forums, have shown levels of up to 28%...

    It's fairly nice. There is a weigh station in front of it north bound side, a cargo or freight yard on south bound side,and a gentleman club (i think) next door. But that's it. It's been a while since I've stayed there overnight, but I've stopped there many times, as I live north of Dallas and...
