After about a year of using truck stop (or nearby motel) WiFi, I bought a Verizon Air Card a few weeks ago. As my runs take me to lots of places where there aren't even truck stops let alone WiFi, I've been quite happy with it. Speed is on a par with my DSL at home when it's cookin' and even...

Merc, I will be very interested in how the new unit works out for you. I just received an info package from ExecutiveAir, and I've got to say that I really like their thinking on this solution the No Idle laws. I spoke with the Owner/Operators who have their phone numbers listed on the web...

They must be tired of getting screwed by BigBiz!! Rex

Update on the progress of my HazMat renewal: When I arrived at the house yesterday I found a letter in the mail with a Transportation Security Admin. return address on it, contrary to what I was told by the guy who fingerprinted me. I am very surprised that the time elapsed from the initial...

Merc, Check with some local truck body installers, they should have some in stock. I was checking out some at Carnegie Body Co. in Cleveland a few weeks ago while waiting for their service dept. to fix some hinges on my roll-up door. Rex

A little background on HUEI type fuel systems that may clear up things a bit. These engines (Cat 3126 and International DT/HT) use VERY high fuel pressure when running....over 50psi is required just to get them started, and it will be higher when running. Cooling systems will usually have...

Out the door for $602....8 shocks and installation at an International dealer. The Monroe shocks have a 2year/200K mile warranty. If I replace them in 200K they will have cost <$0.004 cents per mile. You also have to consider that tires will wear longer and the truck and it's components will...

I can't comment on the Airtek suspension, but I can say that I just had all 6 of the shocks on my '99 International 9200 replaced with Monroe Series 65 gas charged units and the difference in the ride is astounding!!! I also had the cab shocks replaced with OEM units as Monroe doesn't cover the...

I would recommend that you get the truck to a dealer/repair shop for diagnosis ASAP! Rex

Here in Ohio it can take up to 8 weeks for the "Threat Assessment" to be completed. I called the 800 number that was in the letter I receiver, gave them the info required, had my VISA card tagged for $94.00, then drove 92 miles (round trip) to the nearest fingerprint station (there are only 4...

I bought my first Sirius set up just before Howard Stern announced he was making the move to SatRad. I carried a list of the stations he was syndicated to in my briefcase so I could catch his show while on the road. I initially chose Sirius for the NFL coverage (being able to listen to either...

After trying both Flying J(usually a fast connection) and TA (usually less speedy than FJ), I went out today and bought a Verizon aircard. Although it's pricier than the truckstop services, it will allow me to get online when I am laying over in a town waiting for a car dealer to open in the...
