Deadheaded home from Ioway for the extra long weekend that begins now!

What about replacing coil packs and/or ignition wires at 100,000 miles. My last 2 Chevys got new plugs, wires and serpentine belt every 100,000 miles or sooner.

I think he would like to know more about you being a Teamster during the Hoffa era. I know I would, hence my query as to what Hoffa era you were referring to. Your timeline appears to be a bit fuzzy. Jimmy Hoffa "stepped down" as the IBT president in 1971. You would have been 18 years old ...

Exactly! That's in line with what OVM posted. Large carriers also pushed for EOBRs.

Leo posted this several years ago. Some of the info may be out of date but the basics should keep your wife entertained for hours. http://www.expeditersonline.com/for...4465-diesel-price-versus-cost-whose-20-a.html

The following was taken from the OP's link: “This is basic physics,” NHTSA Administrator Mark Rosekind said in a statement. “Even small increases in speed have large effects on the force of impact. Setting the speed limit on heavy vehicles makes sense for safety and the environment.” If this...

Which Hoffa, Jimmy (canned Alpo) or little James? I too was a teamster but I don't recall the government fearing truckers. I don't recall the government fearing organized crime either. I do recall the IBT endorsing Ronald Reagan for president in 1980. What kind of god fearing labor union...

It doesn't matter what Max Bialystock or anyone else claims in their advertising brochures. The only accurate way to come up with a maximum legal payload is to weigh the van when fully outfitted for expediting. This weight should include driver, personal gear etc. and a full tank of fuel...

The fringe 3rd parties like the commies, greenies and anarchists might be "demo spin offs" but Perrot's Reform Party which Ventura originally belonged to was more centrist. In Minnesota's 1998 gubernatorial election Ventura drew equally from both major parties to win.

The Ventura Project? Are you referring to the Ventura Effect? The Ventura Effect is a medical condition where a restriction in a cerebral artery reduces blood flow to the brain. The result is inflated ego, paranoia and hair loss. Ventura did shake up the status quo of Minnesota politics for...

No problem. We're all going to vote for him. It's like the Jesse Ventura thing in Minnesota. Democrats and Republicans voted him into office but none would openly admit they voted for him.

Just delivered to a mud hole in the middle of a cornfield, aka Central Iowa Expo.

Thank you Scott. I see the recall only applies to the diesel engine so you can sleep peacefully tonight. ;)

Yeah, his ineptitude paved the way for Reagan to get elected to two terms.

I haven't seen any mention of this on the Transit Forum. Do you have a link or any specifics? I need a pic of your odometer when it turns 900,000.

My score: Jesse Ventura 87% Gary Johnson 86% Donald Trump 84% Hillary Clinton finished last at 15%

My first presidential election I voted for the Peanut Farmer. I attribute that vote to youthful ignorance and a vote for Ford was a vote, like, for the continuation of, like the whole Nixon fascist pig trip, man.

Yes? No!

My point is, if people would have supported and voted for a moderate 3rd party candidate years ago maybe we would have a viable 3rd party candidate to vote for this year. I've heard the wasted vote rubbish since I voted for John Anderson in 1980. At that time it wasn't considered a wasted vote...
