There are a lot of things that make driving for a living scary. Bad weather, black ice, crazy 18 wheelers, etc. What scares you the most? For me it's people texting while driving.

Is this a short? I was testing my batteries with a volt meter this morning and discovered something odd. With the ground cables removed from the batteries I tested between the negative battery post and the fuel tank and got a reading of 12.8 volts. I repeated this test at several other points...

So here I am, sitting on a dirt road in a cornfield in Iowa. Why? Because I made my delivery early and must now take a 30 minute break before I can go to a truck stop to get some sleep. Sent from my EVO using EO Forums mobile app

Our starter died yesterday. I called my local shop and they have a mechanic that contracts with them to do mobile work. They (2 mechanics) did an excellent job testing the electrical system and determined the starter was indeed bad as one of the connection terminals had corroded completely off...

Sometimes when we turn the key to start our truck nothing happens except the lights on the stereo dim. No clicking noise or anything else. We turn the key off and then try again in about 15 to 30 seconds and then it usually starts. This only happens occasionally. Once a month maybe. Is this a...

I'm planning on adding an extra battery or two for a house bank. What size isolator will I need? My alternator is 160 amp so I am assuming I need this size or larger.

I bought a Nexus 7 yesterday and would like a map app that will work offline. No wifi or phone service needed. I would like to be able to enter a beginning city and state and ending city and state and see the route. I do not need turn by turn or voice directions. I intend to use this when...

My restart becomes available at 1900 on Sunday night thru 0500 on Tuesday morning. I would like to adjust it so it starts one day earlier. 1900 on Saturday through 0500 on Monday. I will be home OOS for 2 weeks. How would I get the CLink to adjust? Keep rejecting restarts until that time or can...

Does anyone have a state by state list of what they consider a truck for the truck speed limits. I know California is 3 axles or more and Indiana is over 13 tons declared.

We just added a Keurig coffee maker to our truck. Is anyone else using one and how are they holding up in a truck bouncing down the highway? Full disclosure: we already have one at home.:)

My wife and I both had 34 hour restarts on Monday, July 1st. Mine at 0032 and hers at 1000. We are at home out of service from July 4th until Monday July 8th. Will we be eligible for restarts on Monday July 8th, 168 hours since our last restart?

I need a new anti virus and internet security provider. I have been using PC Tools Spyware Doctor for the last several years but it will no longer be available after mine expires in two weeks. They want me to switch to Norton. Any suggestions?

Is it safe to put our winter coats and heavy clothes away yet? Down here in Florida winter ended in March but this seems to be the winter that wouldn't end in the north.

My neighbor just told me this story. He said a few weeks ago his car battery was dead. He had no way to jump start it or a charger. He claims he removed the belt from the alternator, attached a 1/2 inch electric drill to the alternator and spun it a full speed for 30 minutes to charge up his...
