    Van Body repair in Atlanta?

    Can anybody suggest a good shop that can repair a roof on a van body? Something close to Commerce, GA? We managed to put two holes in the roof, and put a major dent in my QC dome. Low tree branch on US-129 in North GA. Now, here we are, on Saturday night, out of service. It will be noon Monday...

    Inexpensive laptop mount

    I searched high and low to find a laptop stand that didn't attach to the passenger seat, with no luck. Anybody else with a T300 knows that the cabs are quite tight, even more so if a co-driver wants to sit up front for a while. I purchased a home-fabbed stand from a Jevic Transportation driver...

    This doesn't look right.

    I had these attachments sent to me by a friend. I told him the price didn't seem bad, but I'm wondering If i'm the only one that thinks the placement of the drive axles is a little off. I don't think they actually stretched this tractor, just attached the box. Or am I seeing things? The box is...

    Just thought I'd pass this along..

    I know sometimes we all tear a strap, or bend a load bar and need to replace them. Ellenbaum Truck Sales (advertised on this site) has good used cargo securement equipment. E-trak straps are $6 and load bars $25. It's a bit of a drive north from detroit, but if you ever ended up in Saginaw or...

    Qualcomm Stand

    Where can I find the qualcomm mount that is a post-type? It looks kind of like a laptop stand. A friend of mine had one in the truck he bought, but won't part with it. I'm going to try to make a laptop stand out of it. I know, they sell laptop stands all over. I'm too cheap to spend that kind...

    Freightliner/Cummins Idle Timer

    I drive a 2000 FL60. Cummins 8.3 Liter. I occasinally idle it for a few hours, but it seems to have an idle timer. After 5 minutes it shuts off, unless i use the cruise and set the idle up. Which automatically sets it at 900 or so, at the perfect point where the truck is shaking like all hell...
