    Dems vs. Repubs

    robsdad, I understand where you are coming from but the problem is that in order for us, the citizens, to actually prosper, we need tax replacement - not tax reform. These guys in congress know that the average person does not know how the budgeting system works or how we are actually paying...

    Lighting

    Phil, don't get too excited.... settle down there ... the system still uses a light bulb :(, it is the way the reflector and lens disperse the light that is exciting or should be for Volvo owners. :D Can you imagine if you had the HID setup on your truck, how much of a difference that would...

    Republican meltdown??

    Rlent I am for reduction in involvement overseas, don’t get me wrong but I can’t understand why NATO still exists without the Soviet Union or why we are still putting money and man power into areas that are stable and not going to collapse. But I think that it is not all the time the US...

    Lighting

    Nope, no link but I have several lighting product engineering manuals and Volvo is one of the assemblies that is described (I had to cheat and look up the full definition because I am too lazy to think enough to type, sorry). This lighting system is exactly like the BMW Ellipsoid system that...

    Republican meltdown??

    I don't think that he would be able to actually do much with the IRS, others have tried and we ended up with a sub-constitution that is still ignored (remember the tax payers bill of rights?). Honestly if we look at a replacement tax and moved toward that, it may be the best thing for us and...

    Republican meltdown??

    You know I would rather see someone like Neal Boortz in there instead of Ron Paul. Ron Paul has two things that really scare me, one is the removal of the country on the foreign stage and the other is eliminating the IRS and not replacing it with anything. The system will crash hard if either...

    FedEx C C Snitches

    Well Cheri, most people don't remember me anyway even though I have converted from a suit wearing trucker to wearing jeans and a pull over to a more fitting representation of my profession; grubby looking - check food stain shirt (even after I washed it still food on it) - check sweats that I...

    Lighting

    Long version - never mind.... Short version.... the buyers of the trucks do not asked for or demand better lighting. I have seen more improvements with EU and Canadian trucks than I have NOT seen here in the states. I think that we are far far behind the curve on lighting technology and seem to...

    FedEx C C Snitches

    Yes Rich, I am so depressed over it I had to come home and hide in my bed with the covers pulled over my head. In retrospect I should have handed him one of my gold engraved meishi style business cards with my $800 suit on to stand out a little bit more in the room with the other drivers. :cool:

    I remember Phil, it was a load to Roanoke and you were heading north for something to do with the truck, maybe to Indy? Well too bad you don't remember, I think it shows that I do blend in.......

    Hearings begin in slaughter of 3 Christians

    David, Since the late 17th and early 18th century, the enlighten age, the Christians has been pretty much a passive group of people and allowed things to happen. In the 19th century we seen a surge of more passiveness and tolerance which was from a pull away from God is Vengeful, you will go...

    Looking at a truck, need opinions

    Well to answer your question first, I would not even go to the run it to it drops and replace it with something else - there is too much to do to justify the cost in refitting it with another engine. But I would look at the allison, I would also see what else is out there and try to find...

    Diesel engine

    OVM, Depending on the model of the alternator, it can be as low as 400 rpm (engine speed). I think and have to check on this, that Ford and GM both have a 'full output at idle alternator' models used on emergency vehicles and do know that the regulator is what controls the output at most if not...

    FedEx C C Snitches

    Yes Dave, LG.... .....there was a really good reason why.......I won't say why, Phil may if he remembers but I will say that I begged for that run to get me home to take care of my wife and FedEx didn't think twice to say no and offered me Tallahassee instead. :(
