    America in Shock -Karl Malden died

    Karl Malden, little know fact that he worked for Qualcomm before he started acting. The unit I have installed in my truck has an "inspected by Karl Malden 05/26/48" quality tag on it, guess he did a good job.

    Ford Transit Connect

    " Up to 135 cubic feet of cargo room " compared with a Sprinters 600 cubic feet, how about what happens when you cross a Sprinter with a mailbox. Even an Astro had more cargo room that this!

    Ahhhhh a REAL Cummins!!! Nuf to make an old gearhead like me get weepy. Injectors...with pushrods!! Seems to me you really get a sense of how far trucks have come once you see the interior and dash of these old girls. Guess Pete figured you could reach for a few things in this one! Great pics...

    Nuvi 465T

    Every routing thing I own has the border crossings in it as favorites so I can add them to a route, otherwise as you said, routes you to Sarnia/Port Huron every time. never understood why, Detroit is shorter if you are westbound into the US 95 % of the time, and customs is waaaaay better at Detroit.

    Nuvi 465T

    I played with one at a Pilot the other night. I liked the feel and accuracy of the touch screen. It is better than the 1.5 year old nuvi 250w I have. But after reading some of the above comments I might hold off. Routing smart is just to big a requirement to have fail in a unit. I have a...

    I hear the poster will win a prize, something to do with a lawn mower and a can of car wax in the greater Cincinnati area. Odd that it also said wear appropriate work clothing.

    TA Phone Kiosks

    True, but if you're AT the truck stop, whats it going to cost to drive a D unit to the mall? Seems like its a license to sell crap, knowing full well most of your customers won't come back to complain.

    Express Center Q

    Rough Startup

    Check for a leak in the fuel lines supplying the engine. It may be that fuel is draining back to the talks after sitting a while, when you start it up that air gets purged out causing the chuggles. Easy place to start looking anyways......
