The interesting thing about the 5,000 mi/yr limit is where the running total of miles for the year comes from. I suppose it is self reporting. Are they going to be sending out auditors to check, or ask you to prove it at a roadside inspection? I don't think we are required to carry our IFTA...

I don't think Katz recommended to keep showing a AGI of zero or less. The IRS will change your classification to "hobby", then let's see what's deductible, and after they audit the past 3 yrs returns, your AGI will equal G with no deductions, tax plus penalties plus interest will be due upon...

Wife needs coverage, so when her PCIP ends this year, will be forced to the exchanges. Me, to heck with insurance for now. My first visit to the healthcare.gov website gave me the feeling as though I was being sold a lemon by the little ole lady in Mayberry with words like, "great news"...

We park in front of our house outside the garage/shop in rural E TX. It is important to me to be able to work on it while home. I had one of those very realistic 3D color dreams the other day. There was a nice neighborhood where one of the streets was about 50' wide built especially for...

To sign or not to sign. Are they going to black flag my truck if I decide to join in and maybe get the $1089 they say I would receive?? Hummm. My 1st thought is to throw it in the trash like all those stock trade class action suits involving insider trading, you might get $5.00 back, but...

I have a 22 ft Supreme box that had water leaking up and down the sides and front. I closed a high pressure air hose in the doors as best I could and had someone pump air into the box while I soaped it up along the top edges and found the aluminum drip rail leaked where it met up with the alum...

"wind up with big dirt filled grease balls" I always wondered why the shops left a large blob of grease on top of the kingpin caps, makes you wonder if they even got any in the intended location. I started doing my own chassis lubes after I got tired of telling the truck stops about the 5 or 6...

Am I completing the circuit when I am washing my truck and I feel a slight tinge of electricity in a small cut on a finger when wet, even though the battery ground is connected? I've had this happen more then once and, especially noticed it when I had a small splinter under a finger nail. I...

I read somewhere that lithium is predicted to be a over demanded, under supplied item in the near future as more and more power comes from lithium ion batteries. Lithium as a earthen product is not abundant and is found under dry salt lakes or some such nonsense. I don't see lithium dropping...

I posed the same question at an Allison shop and the service manager said he could change the shift points for around $120, but, he said keep in mind the factory sets them where they are now for a reason. Anything different may be harder on the powertrain, so I left my where it is. I do...

Back in the 70's we'd drive old Ugly, our 4 dr F250 with rifle shells on the floor board, accross the border into Acuna (before ZZ Top sang about it even) for the evening and feast on an awesome game plate w/ quail, cabrita, venison, a mass amount of food and Raul would mix us the finest of...

"Check this link:Flexibility Stretches - Wrist Extension And modify this stretch to do while driving." I spent the good part of a day last week hand sanding and squeezing a high speed polisher trigger and experienced the fingers locking up and muscle pain in my forearms. I just did the...

Had my M2's strg column replaced early on under warranty because of the weak telescopic lock but now I wish I didn't since it is doing it again and have gotten used to it, and moron who installed it a the FL dealer in Texarkana LEFT ALL OF THE GUTS OUT FOR THE AUTO CANCEL TURN SIGNAL AND PRIED...

Just a follow up. Cleaning out under the bunk the other day I found my saw and started to take it out. Just curious, I tried to stall the engine by placing one of my vinyl curtains over the breather. The top of the breather sucked the curtain tight like a giant vacuum form toy *remember...

'07 M2. The only shift points I know are 4th to 5th, average acceleration is around 45mph, 5th to 6th occurs around 64mph. I have serviced it every 130 to 150k mi.s.

i know my Allison 3000 HS in my M2 is on borrowed time at 880,000 mi.s but she still works great. I have serviced w/ transynd and the 2 internal filters since about 300,000 mi.s. At the 450,000 mi. service, the fluid was full of gold (brass?) metal filings, but none since. I am either missing...

I have the same w/ my M2 but I don't want to spend the money to have the computer re-calib'ed, yea, cheap I know. Use the yard sticks for a set amount, say, 10 mi.s, and compare to your dash odom. Figure the percentage, my is 2% off, or .2 more on the odom in 10mi.s, 2 in 100, 20 in 100, 2000...

Any comments or experience with an ultracapacitor?; Maxwell Technologies Engine Start Modules Ultracapacitors Application Specific Modules I am strongly considering one of these with the idea that a cheap bank of 1050CCA Group 31's would last so much longer by not having the draw of cranking...

Nice job. I have a 4800 btu Hyundai unit in our AA 98" sleeper mounted in place of a window and one would be surprised at how much cold air these things will pump out. I paid $89 for it 5 yrs. ago with my Price Chopper discount card and haven't had a minutes problem hooked up to the EU2000...

My M2 ABS modulator valve was replaced because it was leaking air out of the bottom area (after 860,000 mi.s) causing the air pump to cycle more then it should, found it by spraying soapy water on all the air components and connections. ABS Mod valve was around $300 and installed myself...
