    Loves Tire Pass service

    I recently used the service for the second time, and have had a good experience both times. The system will air up your tires to your desired pressure, but will not adjust down. The printout gives you the pressure of each tire before and after service is complete. I have to say that I don't...

    New DPF

    I just had the DPF changed out in "08 Cascadia with Detroit 60 series engine. At 557,000 miles, I had a check engine light come on and pulled into Tom Nehl Freightliner in Lake City FL.

    '07 M2 Gremlins

    My 2007 M2 Business Class has a couple of electrical quirks. One is when I turn on my turn signal, my wipers come on and take a couple swipes then turn off. The other is my headlight randomly goes off, then comes back on, usually after a few seconds. I thought they might be common problems for...

    Educate the Public

    I was wondering why the Government doesn't spend some money on making some public safety messages that address the do's and don'ts on sharing the road with commercial vehicles. So often, a driver in a personal vehicle causes a truck driver to make a split second decision to avoid a collision, I...

    I've been hearing on cable news for a couple of days about the major offensive we are going to perform in Afghanistan.:confused: Maybe I'm naive, but why do we feel it's ok to let the enemy know our plans?
