    Truck has be castrated

    The point? The point of what? You mean the TA Discount thread from back in August, or the one from January? FECC TA discounts have't been mentioned in the FECC forum since that last thread in January. I promise you, the possibility of bad TA fuel dirtying up fuel filters is not a carrier...

    Truck has be castrated

    Of course they should be moved to a more appropriate forum. Stuff gets moved from the General Forum to the Soapbox or whatever all the time. The OP should probably be consulted before moving one from a carrier-specific forum, tho, to find out for sure whether they do, indeed not want responses...

    Truck has be castrated

    Company specific spreadsheet, yeah, but you're kidding yourself if you think the TA fuel discount is unique to FECC and that no other expedite carriers have the same exact program. Cause they do. Company specific, perhaps, but certainly not FECC unique. Many of these issues apply across the...

    Obama visits Normandy

    Actually, Doug, the UN sanctioned it, so there's your justification. Our intel was wrong, or so it seems, but so was the intel presented to the UN from people who don't like us much. We do know, for sure, that he had WMD's at one point. We know that because he bought them from us. In any case...

    Virtual Truck Stops

    So far it's not working at all. Can't see enough boards around you, can't see where the loads are coming from (by default, the old boards told you where not to go, and where the freight was coming from), can't see the location of any of the other trucks on any of the boards. Empty move? What's...

    Get Oiled Up at the Zone

    Two places, actually. Most synthetic filters have "synthetic" on the box to let you know it's a higher end synthetic filter. I know that's hardly the litmus test, as there may very well be synthetic filters that aren't labeled as such, and the filter inside the box can change on a regular basis...

    Late-term abortionist killed

    There are three types of morality, and they are very distinctively different from each other. They are: Descriptive Morals, Normative Morals, and Ethical Morals. You are confusing the different types and are trying to put all of your morals into a single type. No offense intended, I promise...

    Decent place to buy batteries?

    If you replace a $300 AGM battery with an $85 traditional battery, you'd better make sure you know what you're doing, or that you get lucky and it all works out OK.

    I checked, and the STP filters are made from paper and other natural fibers (the exact contents they don't seem to want to say). I don't have a Hengst filter handy, so I can't compare them directly, but I do have an STP, Mann and Fram filter at hand. Fram and Mann filters seem to be made of the...

    Fuel Treatment

    I didn't respond because I don't know if you are talking about Howes Diesel Treat, which is the anti-gel, moisture and lubricity product, or Howes Meaner Cleaner, which is the fuel system and injector cleaner. For the diesel Treat, one ounce per 5 gallons of fuel in every tank. In the winter...

    Aluminum Oil Pan Rethread

    Whatever you do to get it fixed, right after that at the top of your To-Do List would be to get a Fumoto Drain Valve to replace the plug. It will eliminate any possibility of stripped threads. And it's like $20 or something. Cheap at twice the price.

    North Korea declares war on U.S.

    They were convicted of "hostility toward the Korean people" and of entering the country illegally. The two women were reporting about the trafficking of North Korean women, and were arrested on the China-North Korean border just inside North Korea. They either wandered across the border by...

    Re: The Jewish Tax

    I wondered about this as soon as I saw it labeled as a Jewish "tax". We've been over this ad nauseum with thebeemer, or ratwell, I can't remember which one it was, maybe both, neither of which are still here. It's not a tax, no matter how many clueless people call it one. As someone who was in...

    This is a good read!

    I'll say it again, the only way to defeat this enemy from without, is from within. Talking won't work, fighting won't work. Look carefully at what Obama is doing and you might see something other than what you think you see. Don't look at it through the colored glasses of "I hate Obama" or "I...

    Maybe nothing. I've used several Fram oil filters, 8 I think, but they just don't seem to be as well built as the Mann filters. I usually change the filter-only at between 5000 and 7000 miles, which gives me around 17,000 miles between changes. If I don't do that, it drops to about 12,000 or so...
