    Democrats caving?

    Ultra right dictate policy? The President is a Republican and the Republicans control the House and Senate. It's the RINOs who are afraid to align with Trump that are responsible.

    2015 Ford Transit Maintenance Costs

    My first giubo replacement wasn't initially covered by Ford. Finally Ford admitted a problem and a recall was issued. I was refunded the cost of the replacement. All other giubo replacements at 30,000 mile intervals and the "final" fix, a real U-joint, are covered under the recall.

    Exactly! I did 4 loads in December for the same customer. Load paid out at 252 miles but actual mileage was 271. No biggie, but on a short load. Also the weights on the offer were never right and the times were always off. After the first load I asked and received $100 bonus. After...

    The cost of staying warm

    I never ran mine while sleeping and always turned the valve off before turning in. My first heat source was the 1 pound propane Buddy. Occasionally when using the Walmart brand1 pound propane cylinders, the cylinder would leak after unscrewing from the Buddy heater. Never encountered that...

    How did Turtle hookup his new fancy schmancy Digi-Max D1000? What did Turtle do with the grey wire? Moot would like the details. :D

    The cost of staying warm

    No. I probably should cover it with some size screening that won't restrict the air flow. The duct is already 4' long with two gentle, 90º bends.

    How would you choose?

    Age is a huge factor in making a decision like this. She is 18 years old, determined and has her whole life ahead of her. Myself, I've had a good life and at my age I think I would probably cash in all my chips.

    The cost of staying warm

    The Digi-Max may have a temperature sensor but I believe it must be connected to a separate thermostat. At least the manual seems to suggest that. Turtle has the old style controller with a thermostat and rheostat. I don't know what he replaced this with. Scott has a digital controller, an...

    No crazier than van expediting and very similar. When I was a kid we had a fishhouse on Mille Lacs Lake. We would drive 100 miles and spend the weekend out on the ice. We had a 4-holer with a 2 burner propane stove, 2 propane lights and a propane heater. At night my brother and I would sleep...

    Those are all portables. Nothing better than spending several days and nights in a real fish house listening to the ice crack and groan.

    payload for 2500 promaster high roof extended?

    I agree and it looks like it can be had with a manual transmission. An option I would like but probably wouldn't be offered to the North American market.
