Why you gotta mess with people trying to make a buck. Imagine if the shippers or cons played jokes on us. Geeze Anywho, i really like listening to Jim Florentine when he messes with them. I dont mind telemarketers as much but when they dont get no after the first 50 times i get mad. Usually...

I wish i had a Dakota R/T that would be even more of a stress relief. No i just have the 5.2 in it and a few mods done. Plus a heavy foot doesnt help. Gas has been dropping though but of course when i was home on vacation it was at the peak. Pretty much i havent been home to do some...

Let me clear on how to do the paperless logs and a DOT wants to see them. If the officer is determined to see your logs you tell him you have paperless, he will then ask to print them out which you will reply you cannont and the only way is to get a fax number from him of his home base once he...

Also about nitrogen that i dont think was mentioned is that nitrogen doesnt fluxuate in pressure like air does. When air gets hot it expands and vice versa. Nitrogen will keep close to the same pressure no matter what the temp is. Paintball players will know what i'm talking about :+

I'm on my way from Seattle, WA to Detroit and the temps have been near the 100 mark and the new overflow bottle is working well. With no overflow system i was able to take the radiator cap off with the truck running and no fluid would squirt out because there wasnt enough in the system cause it...

I'm in the process of doing some research on adding an overflow bottle to our trucks. I have an FL-80 with a cat 3126 motor. And i noticed that the way these truck systems are set up that if there is any extra fluid is just purged to the outside and there is no way to bring the coolant back into...

Alot of the time on diesel engines they reccomend you tow something every so often or the engine till tend to fail sooner. I'm not a diesel tech so i dont know how/why its like that.

I'm sitting in the seattle area right now. I hear alot of loads come up from Cali to the seattle area. Mostly government freight. Thats how we got up here. Picked up a load from Seal Beach, CA to Port Hadlock, WA and hear that panther is up near Port Hadlock quite often. As i sit there is 2...

I think on diesel engines you have to run regular oil in it for a bit to seat the rings. I know on gasoline engines you can run synthetic right out of the factory because the piston rings seat the first time the engine is started. Now if the gas and diesel uses the same type of rings then its ok...

I was on a load from San Diego to New Jersey but had to turn it down since the truck has been in repair shop. So Today would mark one week in San Diego, hopfuly i can get something nice out as soon as the truck is fixed.

For an amsoil powersteering fluid you could probably use transmission fluid in it. In my Dakota I run Amsoil in everything that will take it. I also add lucas aswell.

Well i looked up the info and it talks about being a Locker and a LSD all in one. I guess i'll have to do some research about it. But if i had the option i would get it. EDIT::: Not much shows up about it but its also called Command-Traxx which seems to be made by Eaton. It only locks up in...

I have yet to see a locker be put in a factory vehicle, never has dont think ever will really. A locker has a new driving habit you have to get use to, especially when turning corners and giving it gas, your locker will chatter and the wheels will chirp/hop going around corners. I think its...

Well from his myspace it looks like he resides in Ohio and drives a semi truck for gravel i belive in Ohio. I've sent him a few messages but no replies... Too bad it didnt work out i guess. I wish him luck and hopfuly can get back on his feet and try again. Or maybe come back and work for a...

Our fleetowners have Nor-Pass in the truck and it also goes off with Pre-Pass as well. Not many places it doesnt go off at.

Well as an update. I figured out whats wrong with the generator now. The "plunger" that opens and closes the choke seems to be bad. If i have my g/f try to start it from the inside and then push the plunger in a bit it starts up and runs like a champ. Has anyone replaced this or know how much...

So what your saying is Lawrence will be sporting a new UPS shirt drinking coffee from his UPS mug (which by the way is like twice the size of a normal mug) and playing with his matchbox car sized UPS Truck (with flames)...

RE: Speaking of T/Stops Petro Truck Stops Sold to Man too much reading for me but i did read most of it. One things that comes to my mind when mentioned that TA and Petro will be their own reminds me of a little company called Daimler and another called chrysler... I wonder how that story...
