    straight truck overhang

    Yesterday I saw this M2 with a 28' box and a lift out back, it had three panels coming just shy of the axle centerline so with the lift the overhang had to be right around 12'6" Try making a sharp right with that - HA!

    Pete 386 Straight Truck

    Mud slinging aside - sounds great, where to I sign? :) I thought it was interesting as other than the odd older day cab its the only Pete straight truck I've seen and it looked quite good. Got me to thinking that the 386 seems to have a lower hood line (and presumably better visibility) than...

    Pete 386 Straight Truck

    Yesterday I got a very brief look (truck headed other way on the highway) at a Peterbilt 386 straight truck, looked to have either a 36" or 48" flat top sleeper and probably a 24 foot box, dual chrome everything up front, tandem drives. First one I've seen, and it looked pretty cool. Anyone...

    straight truck overhang

    I have 6-7 feet out back and yes it does swing out a fair bit - roughly 2 or 3 feet at a guess though I've never actually measured. This can be a problem if you have to make a sharp turn and cars, or worse yet another truck or bus is beside you. Simple answer it to go out as far as possible at...

    Another Freightliner horror story

    YES - freaked me out, at the time I was going down a fairly narrow two lane (one each way) semi rural road, lots of traffic, dump trucks, etc in both directions in the early am, not dark but not really light yet either and then it starts. The whole dash illumination system (instruments, HVAC...

    Maybe Diesel MPG's Ain't That Great After All

    I've noticed over the last week or so that while gas prices continue to rise - diesel prices have actually fallen - local station near the border dropped from 5.05 last week to 4.99 and today dropped a whopping .10 to 4.89 but at the same sime gas went up around 4 cents across the...

    Paid tourism

    I have a 910 and they are great, (though this one does have some power connectivity issues with the mount) super easy to use, the 3D road view is easy to follow and only very occasionally is it off the mark on directions. The newer 930 is much thinner too. Can I ask where you have it mounted in...

    You've been where?

    Seasons worth of athletic tape to the BC Lions, and heating mats for Nicole Kidman's NYC condo. (although UPS took them most of the way)

    Truck Decal Removal

    There are two products you can use to get the adhesive off. First is called Goo Gone and is citrus based, won't harm the paint but takes a little more work to remove the glue. The other is call Goof Off and is substantially stronger and faster but can damage paint if left on too long - most...

    Unsure

    I drive in heavy traffic every day and as mentioned if you wait till there is 70 or 80 to move over you'll never get where you need to. I have no accidents and no tickets, I am very aware of what is going on around my truck. It isn't about being unsafe, or running anyone off the road but...

    Unsure

    2 years in a straight truck and still not comfy? Perhaps not for you then - IMO after a few weeks you should feel comfortable and by around 3 months you should be able to stick it in any dock you want. How does heavy traffic grab you? Can you make lane changes even when it looks like there's...

    2007 business class m2106

    Not identical but I drive an 03 day cab with a 3126, 6spd manual, twin 50 gallon tanks. I consistently get around 9.5. I've found the tanks aren't that accurate whether I've just filled it (reads about 2 needle widths below full) or when its showing E -which typically still has around 10...
