I just had a new Rigmaster installed on my 2004 M2 a couple of weeks ago at Espar of Michigan. This past week I was in the East, and one afternoon it was 95 degrees in New York, with a heat index of 105. I fired up the Rigmaster when I shut down the truck that evening, and I was actually cold...

Often when people request info about a carrier, or request comparison of two carriers the responses become info about why not to go with the carrier. I thought it would be interesting to ask people who have stayed with a carrier for 3+ years to list why they stayed. It would be interesting to...

Has anyone used the Centramatic balancing rings and what were the results? Did you use them front only, or both front and rear?

I heard a guy call in to "Hank's Place" on XM radio who said he was having problems with fuel gelling at -25 degrees in northern Maine. A guy from Michigan called in later and said that the guy with gelling problems could resolve the problem by putting 2 gallons of gasoline in each diesel fuel...

Does anyone have a good source for information about actual bridge heights? New York and New Jersey are important to me. I know that the heights posted in New York have some margin built in--I have heard that it is "snow height", or the height required if there were packed snow on the road. I...

I have appreciated the mechanical info from Weave, and have printed some of his information for my files on my truck. I have 334,000 miles on my FL70 with 3126 cat engine. A number of owners have told me that before I reach 400,000 miles this engine will blow, and that I should have a new head...

This week I had an unexpected, and expensive, experience will loss of oil. I have a 98 FL70 with the CAT 3126 engine, with 312,000 miles on the vehicle. I was driving at a fairly normal rate of 65 MPG at 1700 RPM and 35# oil pressure. Suddenly my oil warning light came on, and the oil...

I just read the article on GPS on this website. I became interested in GPS in the mid-80's when I attended some safety seminars for private pilots (my favorite hobby). I purchased a handheld GPS which was programmed for all the airports in the US, and was amazed at the difference it made in...
