David, All Trans ECMs can be 'reflashed'. The ratios are programmed into the ecm through the software and the shift points seems to be "learned" and then put into non-volatile memory. Many of the dealers can do the work and so can a lot of hackers. The typical ECM used is basically the same...

But Dave if UPS wanted to buy FedEx, it is possible to have a hostile take over with the Treasury department behind them.

Thanks, I know I won't be a progressive customer any time soon. I would rather see Oprah use her influence to actually do some good for the people, like demand states to tighten up driver's training and licensing - maybe campaign to raise the age limit to 18 for first time drivers. Most of...

I think you are getting too comfortable with the EO audience. :D

The rise needed if I remember right is about 11 inches. The one issue that hasn't been asked is how much is a conversion worth to the owner? I know of a few who can do the work but it isn't cheap.

This is not really coming from UPS but the teamsters and it is to expand their rank and file. If FedEx had such an advantage, then UPS would not be here today, so it is not really the issue. As for free market, unions stifle that - apparently as one commentator now turned politician noted...

Call your reefer dealer. I got mine for $150 each but haven't used them yet and they are sitting in storage.

I want to know something, maybe some of you older vets can answer this; When the military was segregated in 1913, there wasn't much said. When the military was desegregated in 1948, there wasn't a joint chief's comments in the press, there wasn't the need for a year long study, but one piece...

How do you know it was an "old" bug? They stopped making them in I think 2003.

Yea I expect it would, with almost all the weight up front, you would barely have any traction empty :p

Acceridation is relitive to what your goals are but what is more important is the quality and transferablity to other schools that really matter. The first issue with many of the online schools has to do with the quality of education you get. Many many of the accelrated degree programs are not...

I know you were talking to Pilgrim but I can't put myself in his place, I won't allow myself to be put into that position and no one else should. But Blizzard when is the right time to move? When the company goes down hill or changes something you don't like or when you are not making a dime...

Maybe they need the food manager from Laredo's T/A to move up to Olive Branch?

Because Straight Trucks are not RVs but maybe Trucks?

You both have it all wrong. See you miss something - it is bloomburg who is telling the people that they are too dumb to think for themselves so the state has to do it for them. Isn't he kind of like really rich and arrogant to begin with? I would think that the real problems are all based...

So last week, the WSJ reported that Obama's chief of staff called other democrats "f***** retarded" for their plan on trashing the conservative democrats who are against the health care take over. So Palin decided that this was offensive for some reason and jumped on obama to fire him, which...

Well CAFE standards didn't do a thing except push the engineering of the car ahead, the same goes for pollution control systems on the cars. Those standards, as silly as the UAW wants them to make them out to be did more for the auto industry than the UAW has. It forced the former big three to...

Actually I agree, people want to complain about the mess our health care is in, look at the VA.

sh*t I have yet met a politician who was honest enough not to be a snake. The "Bush" tax cut are going to expire the end of the year, which means we will get screwed. So the republican controlled congress from 2002 to 2006 didn't make them permanent, which would have made no sense at all...

Layout I would agree but here is the thing, most of what we experience with things moving off shore have to do with; 1 - taxes 2 - cost of living. It is a better deal to move the money out of the country, then to be taxed on it. The profit goes up enough to justify moving production out of...
