He favoured Ontario and Quebec, Newfoundland a little bit, with the rest of Canada be damned. It's why those opposed to his precious NEP, especially those in Alberta, bacronymed Petro-Canada to be "Pierre Elliott Trudeau Rips Off Canada." Canadian natural resources constitutionally fall within...

I don't have a problem with most of them. I can just stay clear of the annoying overhangs at the speaker (at most places) and at the window I'll keep my distance and get out of the Sprinter and take the couple of steps to the window. I rarely use a drive-thru when the dining lobby is open, however.

If I'm not mistaken, and I certainly could be, when white smoke belches from the exhaust at startup, and not at normal operating speed and temperatures, it is usually due to deposits around the piston rings. Condensation in the fuel line can also cause it. It happens in a diesel engine when the...

The ease and low cost of maintenance. :jester: The biggest benefit is that so few carriers will even take on a cargo van these days. When a Sprinter leaves the fleet, they have no interest in replacing it with with a cargo van.

The response would be to shut off the switch going the other way, as well. And knowing Trump, he'd flip all the switches. Just close the border. Pierre Trudeau was a disaster for Canada. He had Alberta wanting to leave Canada and join up with Montana. They still don't like Ottawa much out there...

Insulation and a roof vent fan.

I also like how the press is falling all over itself to report the negative comments that Colin Powell has about Trump, but is largely silent on Powell's comments regarding Hillary, like, "Everything HRC touches she kind of screws up with hubris." Ouch!

Here it is again. New poll, new article. Trump Halves Clinton's Lead First paragraph quickly points out that "Hillary Clinton is leading Donald Trump by 5 points nationally, according Quinnipiac University poll, which showed Clinton ahead by 10 at the end of August." Then it goes on to list the...

Ciprian? Hey, I know that guy! Congrats to Ciprian and Patrick! :clapping-happy:

That driver should win at least a Load One Kewpie doll.

It cracks me up how many people will refuse to pass you using the far left lane on a 3 lane road. You're in the middle lane, not impeding traffic at all, and here comes someone in the middle lane behind you, and they will not move to the left lane to pass. They will wait until it's clear, then...

Hey, I started the thread, and then it took me a little while to compose and edit the reply. :p

It has to do with how a jump starter works, versus how a charger works. For jump starts, it's about joules, which is power supplied over time, much more than cold cranking amps or something like that. Most of the Lithium-Ion battery pack jump starters are essentially a 12000 mAh battery, just a...

Gonna move this discussion to another thread.

Definitely not the QC. When the MCP 200 is on and fully operating it draws a maximum or 1.5 amps. That 1.5 amps is with the screen set to full brightness and the unit actively sending or receiving messages, doing a position update, or actively seeking a better WiFi or terrestrial connection...

Thanks to all. Weird birthday today (but then again they're all weird in expediting). I spent the day trying to track down a 1.65 amp draw on the battery when the key is off. Pulled every fuse and relay and still can't find it. Next step is to take it to a professional. On a side note, I can...

Another Virgo. Yay! Happy Happy!

Look up the Carmack Amendment. It establishes minimum time frames for filing a claim and for filing lawsuits for a denied claim. It's 9 months for filing a claim, and a minimum of no less than 2 years from the date of a denied claim. But there are plenty of exceptions. Generally, the time frame...

Again, yes and no. The original, older legacy Omnitracs system (the little dome bubble and standard keyboard display unit) that a few carriers are still using uses standard GPS for tracking, and which is accurate to standard consumer-level GPS of generally 0.90 to 1.20 meters. The new MCP...
