What part of MI are you located in? I too live in MI and went into expediting for ecomomic reasons. I agree that a 260 is a bit light. The truck I have been running for the last two years is a 435, the one I just bought is a 450. I will be home most of the day today, if you want to talk, give me...

RE: looking for answers to a couple of questions t I too was told about a helium shortage. I was told this at a Praxair depot when I was picking up a load. The guy there told us that the helium mines in Texas were drying up. I had no idea the stuff was mined. He said that if they did not find...

We will drive a good distance to take a route that will avoid the need to chain up. One time last winter we took a more southern route. It added about 100 mi to the run, but saved 4 days. Donner pass was closed and we talked with many truckers that had been shut down for 4 days waiting...

I agree and my truck will have a locking differential to boot, BUT, some of the Western states will ticket if you get stuck and do not have chains on. Layouthooter

*SIGH* I guess I will have to break down and get a set. ALL that weight and expense for something I will seldom, if ever, use. Wish I could afford the automatic ones, at least I would not have to grovel on the ground in horrible weather to put them on. I have used chain for years on my pick up...

Good luck in the BWCA, good time of year for smallmouth. I agree with nightcreather, I don't think chains should ever be used EXCEPT to get off the road if you get in trouble. I was just wondering what most of you carry out there, if anything. Am I right that D.O.T. does not require them? What...

I need to buy tire chains before winter. I have been reading the laws and now I am REALLY confused. Am I right that in Colorado that all wheels on a single drive axle truck. Cables are not allowed and the only legal alternatives are automatic chains and wheel sanders. What does everyone carry? I...

Hey LostandFound, The ATeam is right, all the toys in the world will not insure that you can find where you are headed for. One of the hardest things I had to do when selling gps systems was to convince boaters that they still needed to own charts for where they were boating and know how to use...

RE: reducing brightness of the monitor Hey India, I use the laptop because I am too cheap to buy a standalone gps. I also like being able to do my input from a keyboard vrs a touch screen. Some Garmins come with key pads but I don't know what they do. Not being in that business anymore I am no...

RE: reducing brightness of the monitor We use our laptop and Delorme mapping. We bought a gps reciever and mounted on the mirror frame. Works perfect. I will lose C-link and XM radio signals and still have a working gps. The laptop has been working like this for almost 18 months, no problems...

Hey Dave, where are you seeing 5.5 to 7.5% Is that for new or used. The best I have found for used is 7.5 for model year 2006 sliding up to 10.5 for 2001 or older. I got approved at the local bank for a used truck loan. Now all I have to find a truck to buy. It has to be REALLY nice, HUGE...

RE: Special Seal RE: Seal on truck We considered getting bolt cutters to cut seals since we have had long waits while the recieving party found something to cut the seals off. We changed our mind. IF the seal gets cut/broken and the freight damaged/stolen etc it will be harder to be blamed for...

Yea and the HP/torgue etc would be nice. Put which tranny not just auto or 10sp. Try putting Eaton-Fuller autoshift or somthing so we know what the deal is. Layoutshooter
