I'm told they are really, really good shocks. But they are also really, really expensive. On a newer truck, they are probably worth it. On an older truck like mine, I'm not so sure unless you plan to take 'em to your next truck.

That sounds like a good option and may be the only safe option for a gas vehicle.

Kinda bossy don't ya think? Last I checked this site has moderators that are more than capable of "moderating". I'm sure if they need your help, they'll ASK for it.

Installation can be a job. It took me a couple days (partial days, at home...half-fast) to install mine in a straight truck. The biggest obstacle is getting the pickup tube into the fuel tank. I was lucky, my truck had some extra holes tapped into the tank already, with plugs. Drilling holes in...

That's the way I do it too... just use the #, then pick what your looking for. Always check the zip code once you have an address found.

Well yeah, but really..we all know you ain't right! :)

What T-Hawk describes is fair to both parties. As long as the owner/carrier keeps decent paying freight on the truck, you'll do well. The split that you've been offered (if it is truly 40% of the gross billed to the customer) is a an even better split for you as long as the owner/carrier is...

I can remember getting an email (and I thought I had seen it posted on here, but can't find either) about Bin Laden and Al-Queda's plan with 9/11. The 9/11 attack was part of a much larger plan where Bin Laden wanted us to attack in the middle east and cause a shortage of oil which in turn would...

Ark, just make sure your book is not an old book before the 11/14 rules went into effect, although you probably couldn't do what he claims on the old system either. If you need a newer book, I have 3 or 4 and would happily donate one for the cause. AND by all means take his freakin points...

Hmmm...that would be interesting. I know there is an update available that I haven't purchased yet for my 750. Phil, don't sweat it. I think you'll be pleased with the 750. I have very little trouble with mine. As for zoom, just tap the screen first, then look to the top corners of the...

Worth every penny at that price..or double that price imho.

Your welcome, one thing to keep in my mind is that this the first GPS of any kind for me. Many of the things I like so well are possibly featured on other brands and on the laptop mapping softwares as well. As for how arrived at the 750, it was definitely a process of elimination and I don't...

I spent quite a few hours researching Garmin units. I asked a lot of questions and got some very, very good information here: http://www.expeditersonline.com/forum/tech-shop/29375-gps-systems.html I also spent quite a bit of time comparing features on Garmin's website (VERY helpful)...

My truck ('01 FL) with the 12.7 Litre Detroit does the same thing. What I've always done is to kick the idle up from 800 to about 1050. That seems to smooth it out and after a while, I can usually let it drop back to 800 and it will run smooth. I was at a FL dealer last week and asked one of...

I would be intertested in the pricing as well when you get it. It looks like they have a good dealer network setup. I would definitely be interested if it is capable of keeping the truck cool. The amp draw doesn't look to be prohibitive as with the ac rooftop units. Turtle?

Team Caffee, Since you have a seperate tank for your apu fuel, I'm guessing you have tracked the apu fuel usage? I would be curious as to the manufacturer and size of apu you have also. Thanks, Rocketman

Thanks for the help Turtle. I do like some of the features of the 750 over the 660. I'll check into the traffic options later on. For now, this looks like the best I could do for under $400. If this unit holds up, I don't see me wanting anything more until somebody markets something with truck...

Well, I did it :) Although I did change my mind at the last minute! I looked over the units on ebay and realized that I could get the Garmin 750 for about the same price as the 660. The 750 has some features I thought I would like that 660 doesn't have. The 750 also comes with a DC power cord...

I'm really not interested in getting into this debate. I just saw where the guy is calling it a scam. There is no scam when both parties agree to a price and both parties follow through with their responsibility. If the load gets moved and the owner/operator gets paid what he agreed to, it's not...

Cool, I didn't realize the unit would have to be tied to the vehicle in any way for the dead reckoning to work. Other than that, my understanding of the operation was somewhat accurate. It is good to know that it's basicly obsolete. Thanks Turtle for the technical help. You've helped me sort...
