    I run Firestone Transforce. Came from the factory with them and I'm have stuck with them. I am in a 2 tire replacement cycle. I buy 2 new tires for the rear and rotate the rear to the front and replace the spare with a former front tire. I buy my tires from a local independent tire shop...

    What happen to A Team?

    But this sabbatical was unannounced. Let's hope he hasn't become a victim of HoneNone. A more positive scenario has him alive, well and practicing the Unannounced Sabbatical Reaction Drill.

    Will You Be Getting The H1N1 (swine flu) Vaccine??

    I have never had a flu vaccine, but I do drink fluoridated water. My son brought home the dreaded HoneNone from Mexico last April and was kind enough to share it. I was sick for about a week. Nothing serious; minor muscle pain, slight headache and was probably running a low grade fever for...

    Tigers - Twins

    The Twins are a young banged up team with questionable pitching, both starting and the bullpen. Last nights win may inspire them to have a respectable showing against the Yankees. They have been playing much better ball the last 3 weeks of the season and being the underdog may lessen the...

    basic van outfitting

    Here's a couple of pics of what I call a split bulkhead with pass through. This setup gives me access to the cab. I can sleep crosswise as shown or easily turn the bed and sleep lengthwise. With the Truck Screens in place, the Fantastic Fan on exhaust mode, the bed in the lengthwise...

    van plywood floor.. how to and other ???

    The insulation on the mat must be at least ½" thick which would require placing the plywood floor on top of ½" wood strips to create a cavity for the insulation. I think you would be losing valuable overhead clearance going this route. One option would be to use sill plate insulation. This...

    van plywood floor.. how to and other ???

    The floor mat in my van came with shredded fabric insulation. I used an old fillet knife to remove the fabric stuff from the mat. I insulated both bulkheads with it. Save the mat for when you sell the van. It will hide the holes in the floor. Before you put any plywood down, decide on...

    I didn't realize Cray was still around. That desk top model looks a wee bit smaller than the Cray 1.

    roll insulation

    Great Stuff comes in non-expanding and expanding formulas. I used the expanding (3x) to full the side door pillar and side ribs. Once it dries, a knife can be used to cut the overflow.

    Leo, it appears that the someone with two left thumbs and limited attention span is you. Welcome to the world of van expediting! I know you have been kicking the van idea around for a few years. At one point you were talking about going the over 10,000 GVWR route. Would you share your...

    gas engine 1st oil change and subsequent

    I have a 6.0 and run conventional Valvoline. First oil change at about 200 miles. I then change oil every 5000 - 7000 miles. Be sure to clean the drain plug. Both my Chevys came with Dexcool antifreeze. I had the system flushed and filled with good old green Prestone. 388,000 and I am...
