Looney2: No, WiFi is WiFi, and if you have WiFi that will connect at motels, the same WiFi will connect at the Flying J.

I'm not really criticizing Coco, per se. I'm just saying I don't get it. I don't understand. "IMHO she did the right thing,hell if the mall won't let you park why should you shop and subsidize the malls rental revenues." If they won't let me park at a shopping mall, I'm not going to do any...

Couple, three, years ago, I was on I-70 headed out of St Louis to KC. Traffic was moving along at a nice little clip. I was in the right lane, not being passed, not passing anyone, and I was going about 80. A bus blew by me so fast I thought I was going backwards. May be the fastest I've ever...

"oil change/ annul inspestion" OK, now I'm even more confused. annul inspestion? Sounds like a job for Terminix. I'm just messin' :+ If a chicken and a half can lay an egg and a half in a minute and a half, how long would it take a monkey with a wooden stick to suck all the seeds out...

>A much more lasting impression was made on that grocery >store manager when I returned the groceies. Yep. That'll teach him to go out of his way to help somebody. >I'm not the kind of person who gives in when she gets her way. Then what is your goal, if not to get your way? >I wanted...

RE: Trucker Slang (revised) It's not trucking slang, it's trucker slang. :) Most are slang used on the CB radio. Like, when a 4-wheeler cuts in front of you and then immediately dynamites their brakes.

Oooh, Good idea. Yeah, which one? They're all great, though. Good food, good people. California, Oregon, Washington, Nevada, those people out there have no idea what they're missing.

Flying J's signal tends to be rather weak, especially for those of us sitting in the car/RV lot. Nothing worse than having a marginal signal to begin with, and then have an RV or something pull between you and the building. Most truck stop Internet connections are via satellite, which isn't as...

Count me in the stupid category. What does "PM/anual" mean?

hehe That insulation took five days. Five. Days. And they were really long, deep into the night/morning days. So much for the 3-5 hours I had planned. The deck and e-track is on the floor is one of the easiest things about outfitting a van, yet a lot of people make it really hard. If the...

Standard base GVW of the 2500 is 8550. But the high roof and extended cargo area, they come in differing weights (according to my dealer). So far, I've seen nothing definitive online, including at the official sites. For Curb, Payload and GVW I see things like NA or I see numbers that don't add...

Nothing quite like the satisfaction of a job well done. :)

Depends on the "profile" of the Qualcomm. The "profile" is the instructions that tell the QC how to behave under certain conditions, like when the ignition key is on or off. Most QC's are set with a profile that will have it go into QUIET mode a few minutes after the ignition is turned off. Look...

Well, I would mount them inside the van somewhere, if for no other reason it will keep the batteries at a reasonable temperature. Outside they get too hit, or too cold. Inside is juuuuust right. hehe Also, you want to mount the inverter as close to the batteries as possible, really close. You...

If you haul non-placardable HAZMAT, meaning placardable in amounts greater than 1000 pounds (from a single shipper), but not placardable in lesser amounts, you still have to have a HAZMAT endorsement on your CDL. Cargo van CDL's are Class C with either a HAZMAT or Passenger endorsement. A...

The problem comes from other truck drivers seeing a truck on a lot, then they think it's OK to park there, and soon the lot can turn into a truck stop. That's why they sometimes tell you to park in back, out of sight. When returning the groceries, after the manager made the phone call and got...

I don't think you'd want to have the vent open and the fan running while you are moving. Epsar of Michigan (in Romulus) also sells them. They will install them, too. Get the one with the rain sensor. Worth every penny. It has three speeds, and will draw roughly 1,2 or 4 amps depending on...

Before you jump into an 07, even a 2500, check the GVW. Many of them are greater than 10,001 pounds, which means logs and scales.
