    Firearm Choices

    Right on Leo, also look at Ruger revolvers and Kimbers. Kimber is a bit on the expensive side but they make a couple of nice .45 carry pieces. I carry a Ruger SP101 when I do carry. It is a 5 shot revolver in .357. Small, short barrel but a bit on the heavy side. It will do the job if needed...

    Fuel Mileage

    We run a 450 MBE with a Eaton/Fuller 10sp auto-shift. The worst we have ever got was 7.5mpg. We were loaded VERY heavy with strong head winds. The best was 11.7!!! Running VERY light and at 57 mph. So it seems we should run empty and slow!!! Layoutshooter

    &%*^%$ Pro Heat!!

    We stopped running it as soon as we heard the noise. We have all our work done at shops, I have NO mechcanical talent. I sure hope we did not blow up anything. Ours went out of warrenty in Jan. I would have NEVER bought this unit if I had to put one on. I bought a used truck and it was on it. It...

    Expediting for me? Opinions Needed!

    I agree, run for an owner for AT LEAST 6 months. We ran with one for 2 years before we bought our own truck. The lift gate is a must. Pays for itself fast. The reefer is a toss up. I am not sure if I would spec a reefer truck. Ours is but we bought it used and it came that way. I would also...

    Hazmat ?

    We NEVER leave the dock without all the correct paperwork. Shippers certification etc. We NEVER leave without the proper placards. It is not worth it. We have left a load sitting because they didnot have the right papers. It was a nice load and we could have used the money but after several...

    Hazmat ?

    I drive for FedEx and by in large the all mile rate is higher on hazmat than non-hazmat loads. There are hassles from time to time but I take them more often than not. They have been keeping me rolling the last couple of weeks. Layoutshooter

    M2 headlights

    I am glad to hear that I am not the only one that learned this the hard way. Makes me feel better!! LOL!! I was able to get the drivers side in. I put the bulb in first then connected the wires. I was able to put the bulb into the passenger side but there is no way to connect the wires. The...

    M2 headlights

    I had bought a full set of 9006's low and high beams but like a dummy I did not check them to see if they fit until I needed them. I thought I had planned ahead. Who knew there were to different shapped 9006 series bulbs. Guess I should have. Layoutshooter

    Income splitting

    That is exactly what the CPA has down for us. It just seems goofy to me. I guess it's my slow nature with numbers. I hate them!!! LOL. I guess I don't have to understand it if it keeps the IRS happy. All the numbers work so I guess we will keep it up. Thanks a million. Layoutshooter

    M2 headlights

    They are 9006 series. That is what I typed but the computer put 4006 to make me look stupid. Not that I need any help. I guess I will look at a FL dealer, I was just hoping to get them at Wally World prices. Layoutshooter

    M2 headlights

    I have a 2006 M2 business class. The book calls for 4006 series headlight bulbs. I took an old one out and it had 4006 on it. I bought a set of 4006 lights that said they fit all 4006 aplications, they do not fit. My old ones are straight at the conector and the new ones have a 90 degree angle...
