    It is official, we are in a recession.

    The secret to success in business??? return the phone calls. Anymore, it shocks people when you do return the calls.

    Warm it up ?

    Manufacturers advice is to warm up slowly as you are driving. I don't typically see temperatures that low, but there are times that I can see cooler temperatures and I do just turn it on, put it in gear and wait until I see the truckis fully warm before I put it in Hyperdrive.

    Will my speedo read faster or slower?

    My experience doing the exact same change is that I went from doing 58 when the speedo read 60 to being spot on. I have tested it with a GPS and radar cameras, and it is dead nuts accurate now with the larger tires.

    Playing with a Idea

    5000 gallons is a lot of diesel. The thing I would worry most about is the supply source. And then, what chances that you have of them actually buying fuel from you. It is harder to break into these trucking companies than you think.

    I HAVE NEVER...

    so you cant work on the truck, get to wok on the quads. Be happy that your Dad was willing to help. Too many aren't. He sounds, just from the bit that you told us that he is a decent man. Probably because he sounds like m own dad.

    Can police ignore accidents if they're off duty?

    Here if they stop, they are put on the clock and get paid OT. I think that they should be required to stop. Especially driving a cruiser.

    How do you wake a sleeping bear??

    My in laws are both dead. Father in law died 18 years ago on Halloween and was one of the most miserable human beings I have ever met. Mother in law passed away 4 years ago. Near the end, she was banned from my house. She had stolen our check book and my wifes wedding rings when she came to...

    Dang, those are some heavy trucks. Every truck I ever drove weighed at most 32k empty, but that was flats and tanks.

    Sell F250 for F150?

    I searched and found an old Honda years ago because I had a job that required driving. It was definitely a beater that I paid $900 for. I drove it a year, and got paid mileage ;) But it got 30mpg and I drove the heck out of it and sold it for more than I paid for it. Beauty of a car like...

    Loose Connection on my 6.0 (what does it do)?

    some kind of ventilation? It could be causing your truck to suck air, and that could have an effect on your fuel mileage..

    How to Deal.....

    As hard as it sounds, you are lucky. Marriage should be a lifetime commitment. She left before the commitment could be made. Obviously, it shows the type of person she is, and if it was me, I would not want to have to live with that type of person. There are plenty of wonderful women out...

    Excursion Towing Problem Question

    It sounds like a ton of issues going on here,a nd I am sorry that I did not jump in earlier. I tow a 31 foot jayco with my excursion. Tongue weight is important, and how far the hitch is from the rear axle comes into play, as well. I am thinking that it is further from the hitch to the rear...

    Warn 16.5ti Installation Problem

    As short as it is, and judging from the location and schematic, it looks like a ground to me, too. Of course, i would call Warn and get their opinion.

    YOUR FIRED!!

    I have fired people before, but usually they know it is coming, because I have talked to them and let them know if there were problems. As for taking time off, I think that you need to get your butt out there and get back in the game. You do not have to be in the Rental industry, but if...

    Sad day in the hot rod world.

    I feel bad for those that were close to him. I knew him, and did not especially like him as a person, but he was dear to many and they will feel his loss.

    YOUR FIRED!!

    That stinks. It is probably because of economic concerns. Time to hit the streets and find a better job. That has always been my solution when I have been laid off.
