    Little Light Thingie

    Electrodes attached to your testicles and set to send an electric pulse every 2 or 3 minutes would probably get your attention! Plus it would keep you awake on those long boring stretches of highway.

    Alternative Fuels. Bad Corn/Good Corn

    Thanks Bob, I think? I really didn't expect any replies to this. I was just emptying my mind of all this global warming stuff and other related information. I usually see at least two sides to every issue. So I thought I would post something that exposed several sides and made random sense of...

    Alternative Fuels. Bad Corn/Good Corn

    Bad corn is also know as evil corn. It is the choice of European colonists who brought to this country gun powder and chicken pox. Good corn is also known as maize. It was introduced to the European colonists by Native Americans. The same people that gave them tobacco and peyote buttons...

    Looking for input on building a C-unit

    and some sort >of 16 inch or higher aluminum or steel panel along the side >(I forget what it is called). Greg: It is called a scuff wall or scuff liner. I would stay away from steel in a reefer because of humidity and corrosion. Aluminum, heavy fiberglas or ballistic plastic scuff walls...

    What is a glad hand ?

    Broom: For a cover buy another gladhand and put a cap or plug on the air fitting to keep dirt out. Use a small chain as a keeper to attach to the dummy gladhand so you don't lose it when your air hose is connected.

    I'm in Heaven!

    Ryan: Nice numbers for a B unit. My calculator makes that out to be $2.01 per mile. Does that include f.s.c. Don't tell anyone who you are leased to. People will flock to that carrier and you will be running for .80/mile if you run at all. Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

    ScanGauge Revisited

    I purchased a ScanGauge last summer for $122.00. I see the model I have has been replaced by the ScanGauge II. This new model is more compact and sleeker than the old version. It also sells for $169.99. I believe this device has paid for itself already. I have pulled fault codes and reset...

    Sprinter Cargo Securement

    Great picture Turtle. From RLENT's picture I couldn't tell if it was possible to mount the E-Track on the main horiztonal and still be able to bolt to the verticles. Your pictures shows it can be done. I think this is the best way to mount one row of E-Track on each wall. Looks very secure...

    Sprinter Cargo Securement

    RLENT: I question your use of pan D-rings on the floor. I assume that the lip of the pan will be set below the top of the plywood so pallets don't snag it when loading and unloading. But another problem with those is when loading tanks, wire baskets and tubs with legs. The legs will get...

    Building a C-Unit

    Mike I'm curious about access to your bikes and grill. Do you have a curbside door? If you sit over a weekend with a sealed load do you just forget about the bikes and grill. Would it be practical with a non-reefer unit to install a wall inside the the box with a curbside door and use this...

    Sprinter Cargo Securement

    I carry 2 straps with ratches and 4 straps with friction cam lock things. All straps have E-Track ends. I also have a 24' tow strap with hooks, a 12' chain with hooks and pallet tongs. I rarely use the tow strap but occasionally I have to loop it around a pallet or crate to get it to the rear.

    What is a glad hand ?

    >you can also buy new rubbers for your gladhand at almost any >truck stop when needed.;) It is cheaper to buy in bulk from a drug store than to pay .50 apiece from a truckstop vending machine.

    What is a glad hand ?

    TeamCaffee: What type of connection do you have, gladhand or a regular air fitting? Did you plumb it yourselves or was it a factory spec?
