It's the new moderator, he over moderates and deletes all the posts.

Here's a link to their homepage: Metro Express America , located in Minneapolis, Minnesota, We deliver expedited and hot shot LTL loads nationwide. I don't know anything about them and have never seen their equipment.

I think I once saw a 1970's porn flick that was a spoof on 1950's horror movies titled: Rooting A Droid.

What am I missing here? This link Witnesses said they were forced to hide video after Beach shooting - Miami Beach - MiamiHerald.com shows a shaky video shot from several floors above street level. It shows what is presumably police officers opening up on a car. My suggest is if you want to...

I've always run 245/75R16 on my vans. My GVWR is 9600 lbs. The GAWR for the front axle is 4300 lbs. and GAWR for the rear is 6048 lbs. My Firestone Transforce HT's are rated at 3042 lbs. for a single. I have a 155" wheelbase Chevy so I can place the load without going over on either axle. I...

The new GM's or at least my 2004, the fuel filter is part of the fuel pump. My 1998 had the fuel filter located along the fuel line. If one were to add an external pump in-line it would be drawing fuel through the original fuel pump's fuel filter, if like Denis mentioned it is even possible...

Thanks everyone! Mother, father and daughter are all doing fine. This is my first time being a grandparent and yes, she has more hair than me. The miracle of birth still blows me away! . .

Below is a link to a short video shot from inside the cab of a GMC Astro. Watching this reminded me of our old E.O. friend Dieselphreak. He once posted an audio clip of a Detroit 71 series running up on a dyno. Nothing quite like the sound of a Driptroit 2 stroker! YouTube - ‪Shifting a GMC...

Linda, an Astro is or rather was a truck. It had a huge 2 piece windshield typical of cabovers. It also had a very low dash. .

That was common among the late 90's and very early 2000 era GMs. Those vans had an in-line fuel filter mounted along the frame rail. A $10 part and very easy to change. I would replace fuel filters twice a year, spring and fall. I also kept my tank above a ¼ full. I believe this practice...

I don't know who they are or what kind of warranty you have that covers a fuel pump at 72k miles but you should make a huge issue of this with GM. My 2004, 6.0 has 525,000 miles on the original fuel pump. My 1998, 5.8 went about 180,000 miles on the original. When that was replaced, the...

That was me parked next to you Wednesday night.

Don't forget uniforms are also tax deductable Linda, have you ever driven an Astro or Titan?

Look for an ASE certified credit mechanic. .

The glass in those Astros and Titans did let in a bunch of light and solar energy. You couldn't even "adjust" yourself without the whole world seeing you. Hope you were wearing pants!

I realize you were referring to information technology and it's effect of further dumbing down truck drivers. The popularity of the technologies I mentioned opened up truck driving opportunities for another group of "scumbag", women and thin armed pencil pushers. Trucks no longer require...

This set-up looks very familiar, in fact I just saw it Wednesday night in Kearney, Mo. That was me parked next to you at the Pilot. Had it not been for the rain I would have stopped by to say hello. Had to get up early and be in Trenton. Is that a Yamaha generator? Very, very quiet.

Technology is probably what got you and Diane interested in trucking in the first place. It wasn't all that long ago that air ride suspension, automatic transmissions, power steering, air conditioning and all the other amenities were the exception rather than common place and expected...

Howdy hoser! (smiley face) No luck? Ever been to Tucson or Tucumcari? Driveaway is more than delivering a tractor. The driveaway industry includes driving all types of trucks, buses, motorhomes etc. It also includes the delivery of new semi trailers and RV trailers. Way cool on the...

You certainly have more faith in the American people in general and Democrats in particular than I do. I hope you're right, but my $100 is still on Obama.
