RE: Keith Olbermann's Special Comment on Bush 9/11 This would be a good Op-Ed but I can't take him serious enough when he is using the same hate filled lines and the same style retoric as others like the idiots who are doing the hunger strike c**p. but I look at this coming from a guy who...

>Sorry I won't watch someone who admits on national TV that >he is a drug addict and laughs about it. Great example for >the kids. "Here kids watch the news channel". Terrible role >model. Sorry, he at lease admits he has a problem. but if you think he is a bad roll model for admitting to...

ACW4478 Ok I got to tell you, that kind of bothers me. You know there are several things that I don’t get offended by. You did seem to do so with your park the van remark but my passion for my country does allow me to accept stupid remarks, no matter how insulting they are simply because...

I heard about them. I saw one at D-C. I almost got one free today (APU that is), had to make a stop at my local clinic for a random and had a truck lose his APU on the off ramp - he kept going through the turn until he realized something was wrong. He hit something hard in the consturction...

What? Cheri you must have been sitting in the same lot as I was - "hey Jean, wake up I locked myself out of the van again" pound pound pound. "Come on Jean, its cold out here... open the door" The only problem is that Jean was not IN MY VAN, she was in the van across the parking lot.

Tallcal, I am glad you are still out there, but I don’t think you have studied history much. See a while ago we fought a war that we didn’t start that ended up toppling another dictator, the one that I mentioned here in this post, Hitler. He declared war on us when the war in Europe was a...

Well Fuel cell technology has come a great distance but until we stop producing hydrogen from sources that produce co and co2, it really defeats the purpose. I still want to look at those hydrogen generators for trucks, it seems to be something about using brown gas (that is what the end...

RE: 2007 Hino 338 (Gearing Issues) Looking at New Frank, you are right. Sorry I wasn't clear on this and in hurry to post it. Now I sound like someone else. I am talking about component changes within the range of approved or offered specs, not outright modifications like Cab modifications...

Great... the season I hate to love. I have been in some fun situations, the best one was spinning out on M 14 on my way to Ann Arbor; around and around I went. My advice is don't be intemidated by the weather, but be alert. if you feel tired, pull over - winter driving will make you even more...

That is not good enough for me, how many years has it taken to win? It seems that the promise that Ford and Ilitch made about big wins when they got all that land and the money to build the stadiums haven't gotten fulfilled - ilitch raised ticket prices and complained that no one was going to...

I have a personal connection to 9/11 that I was going to write about and somewhat vent but decided against it – maybe. After talking to the mother of someone who was killed in one of the towers, I came to the conclusion that what ever I say will not wake anyone up. It seems that my...

Well I guess I got my wish - 9-6 Seahawks. Boo lions - I want my tax money back!!

You know that many of you can b*tch and complain but many of you actually don’t do much to change things. I am serious about this, so if you are offended, well do something about it - get involved. How many of you wrote to a congressman or senator that is on the oversight committees for...

>That's good thinking, Layout. I've read articles about >exactly that. People are working on a fuel-cell replacement >for truck generators. I think some prototypes are already >made, but I don't recall where I heard or read about them. NO NO NO, the brain power needs to be used to get an...

Phil, that is good advice, but I am surprised that many don't know about it. The other reason you idle the truck (for that matter any turbo engined vehicle) is to give the turbo oil under no load conditions to cool it down. The bearings can get coked up and sometimes seals fail. The other...

Streakn1 sounds like the people who did the paint work didn't know how to do the work. There are a lot of products that will take off the decals, adhesive and the paint so to have the box ready for a good primer, one is a great aircraft paint remover, Spurce aircraft supplies sell it. I use it...

ChuckWagon I would be with you if we can first get more realistic lawmakers to push the DOT in using the studies by the Military on sleep deprivation to determine the HOS. I read some of the studies the DOT used and don't agree with the findings and don't agree not using 60 years of studies that...

You know this subject seems to come up every 6 or 8 months. Carry a firearm in your truck at your expense. It is a felony to do so in a lot of states regardless if there is a reciprocating agreement with your state– a firearm in a commercial vehicle is different form carrying a weapon with...

The best post yet!

As much as I agree with the concept, there are other things that need to be done first, like more uniformed vehicle laws and more stringent controls on the companies themselves in the way of safety and education. As I am going through an investigation about my own authority, I find that some...
