There are 2 guys that are freightliner vetran mechanics,in Cleveland, that are extremely good, doing work on the side.They will do it right, or not at all.They...

    Air dryer filter

    The Bendix AD-9 is known as the workhorse of the air dryer industry.The other one, more commonly used, Wabco system saver 1000, has a spin-on filter, similar to an oil filter.I found it easier to just replace the AD-9 with a reman every year, before winter.They can be found from Freightliner on...

    T-Shirts

    I saw them, and tried the largest on, but was convinced that after a washing, they'd shrink to the point of not wearable.Nice shirts, but not large enough for my plump figure...They were snug new.

    So I decided to take my snow tires off last Saturday...

    Ya know, I never did get around to buying a set as I had planned earlier this year.But I was and am surprised at how well my Firestone Transforce a/t's did in the deep snow, ice, etc.They really surprised me.I may just skip the snow tire thing altogether next year.
