A dynometer is a machine that measures the power the truck puts out. The drive tires sit on a platform that has rollers hooked up to a computer. The ECM is the Engine Control Module. It holds the history of the engine. Speed driven, idle time, miles...

RE: YES Passionate The good thing about a debate here is we can easily see what everyone is saying. Hanity and Colmes quickly becomes just so much noise with everyone yelling at the same time. If the liberals would just admit they're wrong and be quiet we could hear what needs to be said.:+ :+

T-Hawk, I would ask someone to show you the 15 minute thing. Sounds like urban legend to me. In 15 minutes a person could totally rewrite history. That's like the old Federal Marshall story.

DieselDoc, that was very informative. An excellant example of a long post that is worth the read and not just full of words. I'm considering switching to gas and I appreciate the specific numbers you included. LDB, you've been a proponant of Sprinter wheel well modification and I just talked...

Fantastic news! Thanks for the update.

One year, my ex made up great big orange vests to put on her horses during deer season. It even made the local paper.

RE: YES Passionate Is it just scientists who are "quacks" because they don't agree with you? Even those that yell loudest about green-house gases, admit that it isn't proven fact. The fact that the planet has experienced extremes of every kind since the beginning is a much stronger argument...

Like you, I also pulled the 53's. The reason we recomend starting with a fleet owner is to experience the difference in expediting. When I was driving t/t, it was drop and hook and a regular route. Very predictable. With a fleet owner you can get a taste without spending anything. The waiting...

First, was'nt it hypocritical for Issac Hayes to quit just because Parker and Stone picked on his so-called religion? The standard answer here is to work for a fleet owner to get your feet wet. I chose to get a cargo van and try it that way. If it doesn't work out it would probably be a bit...

Streets&Trips is fine for me being in a van. But, I had a D-unit friend call me for some directions and I had him looking at a grain elevator with 10' of clearence and no real easy way to turn around. When he called me back it went something like, "Now, I'm not really MAD at you, but..."

All the best tommorow.

Now that I share my home time with an English Bulldog, I can't help but chuckle when I see a picture of a "mean" Bulldog on a truck. This dog is about as big a wuss as you'll find. If someone came in to rob the place, Bob would just hope that the guy would play with him for a minute. He drools...

RE: Connecticut Attorney General's Office, Press R The annual inspection is a federal requirement. For a state to have one in addition to that would just be redundant.

Good primer! It is big and my dogs did, indeed, bark. I hear it is somewhat bigger than when I attended in '01. My priority this weekend is the Supercross in Detroit on Saturday. But, if the moon and stars align properly I'd like to do both.

RE: Connecticut Attorney General's Office, Press R If I'm not mistaken, and someone PLEASE jump in and correct me if I'm wrong, are'nt trucks allready required to have an annual inspection?

It's always been my understanding that the rules are the rules, period.

Greg, just wondering if you have an opinion on who makes the best pocket protector.;-) :) ;-)

I just finished a post taking issue with something Ateam said. But I, and others who sometimes have a difference of opinion with him, will also give a cyber "high-five" when I agree with him. Debate can be interesting as long as it's done in a civil manner, and it usually is done that way here.

O.K. I took it as you did'nt know empty weight at all. Your payload sounds more realistic than I've heard from some others.

The addictive nature of these devices has earned them the nickname "crackberry".
