    And just why are you tormenting me this way? It sure would be helpful backing up to my trailer when I am hooking up at night.

    SMART CAR's are pretty tough...

    And the beauty is, after crashing into that barrier, it will fit in a standard 100 gallon garbage can.

    For those of you that need to watch closely, diesel is going to get a .25 spike in the next day or so. Probably tonight. Might want to go top off.

    What's the labor rates in your areas?

    Rick, the program you are talking about is SCORE. It is an excellent program, and there are many minds there that have a ton of golden bits of information that can only be learned by experience. And yes, cleanliness goes a long way.

    What's the labor rates in your areas?

    I think that starting lowball is ill advised. But that is just me. If you start there, you will stay there. One advantage to charging teh $60 an hour is, if your business is run properly, and have some projections, you shoul deasily make your revenue streams. Figure that you will need bill...

    What's the labor rates in your areas?

    I am not a mechanic, but I do own a small business. I would make my prices closer in line to the GM and Ford shops. In our area they are over $100 per hour. In you area, I would probably go no less than $70 an hour and would probably even go $75 per flat rate hour. You don't want to be known...

    Old Bed Rework...........

    Nice construction. Growing up I had a trundle bad. I basically slept on box springs because we never got around to putting a mattress in it. Mine did not have the guids though. It was just basically a caster set up and could roll freely around the room away from the rest of the bed. I...

    I may be wrong. I thought the 4000 was the same as the D3, which is what I have.

    double din install

    That needs to be clearer. The green wire entering the harness needs to be moved from teh slot it is in, and put in the slot above it. If youlook, there is a little tab that needs to be depressed and then it pulls right out. Then you can insert it in the hole above on the harness in the same...

    comment Prices of Veg oil and Peanut oils take off

    First, ethanol and Vegetable oil are mutually exclusive. Vegetable oil is actualy profitabel to use, and takes a lot less resources per gallon than ethanol. Second, as I posted in a previous thread, Canada is the number one supplier of oil to the US. Saudi Arabia is number two and Mexico is...

    Predictions: 12-15 bucks a gallon !

    During recent testomony to congress the oil companies all said that they were at only 80% production capacity. Also, Canada and Mexico are our largest oil suppliers, not the mideast. The US does need to increase oil production. There are multiple untapped fields available to us. The Dakotas...

    Question Mileage Question

    There are a lot of thigns that are causing parasitic drag on your truck. 1. It is a four wheel drive. They are heavy, there is a lot of extra mass to turn and keep moving, and they are higher in the air and so are pushing more air. It is part of the cost of having four wheel drive. 2...

    Rotors

    From my point of view. On our excursion, I spent $1000 on the front end trying to get rid of the shimmy when applying the brakes, including new rotors, pads, the whole thing. I went to multiple shops, the dealership and private shops, and they all said the exact same thing as above, did a...

    note PSA...May 11th

    Sure, you have any ideas? Flowers, jewelry and chocolate are out. She hates all of them. Anything under $1000 is on the table. Meaning, she probably has it if it is under $300.

    butt whippin' NEEDED

    Seems to me that the little twerp needs to learn that it is not all about him and that he needs to learn to worry about others. A few months mowing widows lawns would help him a lot.

    PowerStroke Diesel Being Replaced By?

    When they first came out with the superduty, there were mules running all around here with the engine and the old body style. Couple of things to notice, it is probably the new frame and old body. That means that they have to adjust the body to fit the frame. The black things on the side...
