    FL series owners, got power door locks?

    Fr8 Shaker, my problem is the opposite, the button is so hard to push down I usually lock the door with the key. I am going to take the door apart in April when I start rebuilding the sleeper. And I learned my lesson of being locked out, I carry a spare key and have one hidden on the truck.

    This is how the Anti War Protestors

    RE: RE%3A This is how the Anti War Protestors WARNING – this is a long long post, please turn off your screen if you don’t want to read it. Tallcal, It seems that you’re the paranoid one here. Please take the emotion out. I realize that you can’t possible look at this in a logical...

    another new driver

    I really don’t want to discourage you, but I find this a perfect example of, well jumping into something with no rhyme or reason. Ok paying cash for the truck is one thing but how about insurance? What about a reserve just in case? Any contingent planning done if this fails? Willing to...

    FL series owners, got power door locks?

    I am told that the FL50/60/70/80 (maybe M2) had an optional power door locks. I would like to add them to my truck for a couple reasons, one is security but I ran into a wall - part numbers. I asked my sources who have not been able to come up with the part numbers due to changes taking place...

    MPG

    "I'm dispatched for Monday if the Colts win so I won't be getting a run between now and then" You too? If the bears lose, which may happen, I get to head down to indy with some runs but if they win, I am tied up all day in near zero weather.

    hey

    Well I am going to say that I am so suprised. Don't take this personal bambam, I mean that the owner of the truck is not going to be there with her, take a test drive with her and make sure that the investment that they made is not going to end up in a ditch somewhere a few miles down the...

    Visteon to close Connersville, IN plant Sept 1

    Lawrence, As much as I would love to support the auto industry with the two remaining US car companies, I simply can't. Starting with GM and their recent "crisis" that never really was, they have shifted a lot of things off shore under the guise of the crisis. They have been in Mexico for a...

    Looking for input on building a C-unit

    Thanks Moot, I knew it was something like that but could not think of the name. I like the idea of polished aluminum, bright and shiny but on the other hand bullet proof (I assume a combination of Kevlar and carbon fiber) sounds good too so when I go through Detroit my cargo will be protected...

    Scales???

    Scaling in Michigan is for ALL vans over 6500 lbs GVW (someone correct me if I am wrong on that number) that are used commercially. They came up with this change in 2005 and it hit us in January. Well documented thing. Many of the scale house people will say don't worry about it, a few will...

    QC and the Cold

    There is a definite problem with the cold and the antenna system on the QC. The antenna system is mechanical, actually moves around looking for satellites and is moving all the time. The unit does not like the cold if it is old or has not been serviced properly (meaning taken apart, cleaned...

    MPG

    Thats great. I too average 10.5 to 11 if I keep my foot out of it and drive at 64 MPH. I find that if I push the truck hard, shift hard (above 1500, like 1600) and get in a hurry, it drops to 9. Although I am concern with my last run, around 570 miles round trip, the fuel gauge dropped more...

    swimming pool

    I agree that we should not waste money over there but the truth is that in any conflict, in any rebuilding be it Lebanon, Saigon, France (talk about waste helping france rebuild was a big waste) or Iraq, there has been a lot of waste involve - nothing is ever ever perfect. the problem here is we...

    Global Warming, the religion of the nuts

    Well I got to ask, why is it that this report has been called a scientific report when there are no established science methods used? I mean harkening back to a South Park episode, Gnomes, where the Underpants Gnomes who are a community of underground gnomes who steal underpants, notably from...

    This is how the Anti War Protestors

    RE: RE%3A This is how the Anti War Protestors Tallcal, I got a really dumb question for you, why is it that the information was allegedly fabricated but why then did a lot of democrats who knew far more about what was in those reports vote and supported the war? The other thing that really...

    swimming pool

    I think you both missed the point. Yes they were minorities at the time but you may have forgotten how our government works. The dems had the power to play games with the republicans on a lot of issues, one thing is the filibustering of things in committee – for example the cr*p that they...

    BroomPilot...Camera System Question.

    Broom, A few questions. 1 - who made the system? 2 - how big is the monitor (viewing area from corner to corner diag)? 3 - how many cameras? 4 - you mentioned rewind, does it use a vcr tape? 5 - does the system have an overlay on the screen, meaning if it is the rear camera, it says rear...
