I took it back. He said that there was a coating on there & it had to wear off. He did look under there & kinda shouted out "no, these look fine!!" while he was looking under there. When he got back up from under the van he told me if I have any problems to bring it back. I didn't get the...

Dave, Ice, & Greg: Thanx for the comments. This is the exact kind of help I was hoping to get. 2000 Ford E-250- 150K miles I'm not sure if it's disc or drums. I paid $220 for the job. Not sure if that tells ya anything or not. Ok, so no adjustment time. That helps. I'm leary if...

I'm not mechanically inclined so I'm wondering about something. I just got a rear brake done & here's my challenge. Yesterday I took my van about 30 miles to get a bulkhead installed. Near the end of the trip I started smelling something burning. I had thought it was the engine. At the...

I don't know which one is the best for sure. I'm partial to Mobile 1 though. Others may be just as good. Again I don't know. I'm happy enough w/ Mobile 1 that I'll keep w/ it unless I happen to find out another brand is even better. So at the very worst, ya can't go wrong w/ Mobile 1 as...

Key point there. I would be inclined to agree w/ this. They help, but nothing is going to stop them 100% of the time.

We've probably all had at least one occurance w/ a cell phone driver & a drunk driver by now. A situation in Cincy happend that could have cost a lot of lives. Of course the person who caused it would have just kept driving up the road, oblivious to what she almost caused. Fortunately, this...

ok, this was the funniest story I've read in awhile. I've been there too, though not quite this bad. I'm laughing w/ ya & not at ya. Thanx for the grins.

I disagree & believe him 100%. First of all the credibility of the poster. A+. Next is the fact that I have a 2000 van getting 18+. Not at all times mind ya, but I have stretches where I do. His is a few years newer than mine. I totally believe him. I'm actually more suprised that there...

btw/ which Flying J card do ya use? I have a Frequent Fueler card & a Rewards Member Card. It's been a few years since I've used either one. Do I swipe one of those in the machine before I get my fuel? Do I take it inside to the desk after fueling? Something else maybe like 1 at the pump...

I'm not sure if I understood ya, but I read it as you'll get the first oil change w/ synthetic & then doing oil changes at 3k, but not using synthetic for it. If I understand that correctly, I'd say ya actually don't need to change your oil every 3k using synthetic. For that matter, you...

On the gas not being able to get a credit I hope she was wrong. I'll find out soon enough hopefully. On the 30 gallons getting a full credit, I may have stated that wrong. I should have wrote that she meant you get a half credit at 15 gallons & a full credit at 30, but most vans don't get...

My deepest condolances are with you. I am glad that you frequently told each other how you loved one another. You're so right in that you never know when it may be the last time.

Dennis, I was just in a Flying J today. I remembered your post about the expiration so I asked. You get 1 week from the time you get the credit to use it. Also, she told me it was only good for diesel, & not gas. Last but not least she said 30 gallons would indeed get you a full credit...

Synthetic oil makes a difference for sure. I have a 2000 E-250 & got over 18 on a trip down to Knoxville & back. I drive at 68-69 on the speedometer, but it's a bit off, actual speed is about 65-66. I recall a thread on synthetic oils 2-3 years ago. I don't remember exact milage difference...

with 4 runs in 2 months, I can't see a change of carriers being any worse. They've told me that I'm not on anyone's S-List, just that nothing originates from Michigan. I dunno though, something tells me somewhere I must have messed up somewhere. At first I thought it was because I was w/ 2...

I meant to add, I'm also looking for something that I can use in my house also. My electric bills in winter are $200 for a 700 sq. foot house.

I actually came back here to say that the heater I brought up might not be the best idea. At least for a truck. A lot of people are using them for their home & for the most part have given it favorable ratings. Between when I posted the first time & posting this, I've been studying...

At Home Depot for $59. 23,000 BTUs. Will be real toasty. Challenge from my understanding is there's no thermostat control. So the thing is either on or off & will roast ya out of your truck. Also will have a less than great smell when ya shut it off. Still, all in all not a bad price if ya...

Your nephew is gonna have as many cards as the rest of the class combined. =) If I ever get a run I'll pick one up from wherever the destination is.

I'm not sure if this qualifes as dumb, a bad day, or if there's a protocal that I'm not aware of. Last week I called to let em know where I was sitting. He starts screaming at me "DONT DO THAT!! DONT DO THAT!!" I wasn't exactly sure what not to do, so I asked. He told me to not check in...
