    You May Want To Avoid This Shop

    Sylvester Tire, Goodyear dealer in Avon, OH right off I-90 at the 151 exit. Morons!! One of my drives had picked up a nail and went flat over the weekend. At Sylvester's I told the write up guy to have the tech be careful as I didn't want my DuraBrite wheel nicked or scratched. Sez he, "I'm...

    airtabs and the expo

    I've been running AirTabs for nearly 3 years. Any fuel mileage improvement is hard for me to quantify, but the handling of the truck with the AirTabs improved so much, that I can't imagine not having them. Cross winds and bow waves from other trucks that would have my truck jumping around are...

    Straight Truck Lifts

    P51, nice work finding the KW Body Builders Manual!! The Weight Distribution appendix is good stuff! My truck has an all steel, 3300lb., Interlift ILFS unit, and it is one tough piece of hardware. All pivot points except the deck hinges (I spray them with Dupont Teflon lube about once a month)...

    22' or 24'

    I've got a 26' box, but the price for the box is a 51" sleeper on my Class 8 truck. You have to decide what your freight capacity vs. creature comfort priorities are. Rex

    Better Than WD-40

    Some of you may have already used Dupont Teflon Multi-Use lube, but if you haven't, it's GREAT stuff. I use the spray for everything from the hinges and rollers on my box door to lubing the chains on my motorcycles. It dries quickly so it doesn't pick up dirt. Lowe's stores and some ACE...

    navigation software

    One thing that really chaps my butt is paying a fairly large chunk of $$ for a GPS program and NOT getting a printed User Manual!! It is a real pain to have to toggle between screens or print out a relevant page from the HELP file when trying out a specific feature. Yeah, I realize that...

    single screw or double

    Actually, the weight of your truck, as it crosses the scale when entering the toll booth, determines toll class on the OHTP. The next time you're on the 'Pike, look at the back of the ticket, it is imprinted with the toll class. My truck ('99 International 9200, 10 wheeler), without freight, is...

    Slight Dilemma…we don’t what to do

    Since the Shipping Mgr. initiated the conversation, I would have no problem entering into discussions with him. Had your husband initiated the conversation, IMO, you would be seen as attempting to "steal" the Courier Co's. customer. It might be a good idea to read your contract with the...

    Just Curious....

    I seem to remember that UPS was getting an expedite division going a while back. Did they ever get it off the ground? Rex

    Class 8 owners how's your mileage?

    I'm usually just a bit under 10MPG with my 9200 International. If I were to set the cruise at 65 rather than the usual 67.5, I'd probably be a bit over 10. Rex

    Is it worth it?

    In addition to the cable adapter, you will also need the appropriate software for the application....Cummins, Cat, Bendix, Allison, etc. for your specific components. This can get quite expensive, and in some cases the MFGs. will not sell software to the end user. Another alternative is an...

    LED Lights...

    When I bought my truck, one of the first things I did was begin installing LED lights in every possible location. Replacing burned out bulbs is a PITA. Rex

    Best Tire Gauge

    I use a stick gauge. It is a Firestone gauge that someone posted a link to quite a while ago. To check it's accuracy I compared it to a couple of the Technician's similar gauges when I was at my friendly neighborhood International dealer getting some service work done. All of the them read + -...

    Heads Up On Husky Fuel Stops!

    When ever I travel to a foreign country, I always try to make any purchases with the "coin of the realm". Seems to grease the wheels of international commerce. Rex

    Passports

    To give an idea about the time frame for getting a passport: I applied for a new passport on 3/2/07. My old one had expired in '85. I received the new passport via USPS Priority Mail on 6/14/07, considerably longer than the 8-10 week wait the nice lady at the County Clerk's office indicated...
