    Noisy Brakes

    I recently had my trucks front brake shoes and hardware replaced, the drums had no cracks or groves so they weren't replaced. The problem is that when applying the brakes in reverse they make a growling noise...the brakes seem to work fine except for this problem. Any Ideas would be helpful.

    Tandem axle straight truck load limits in Ohio, KY, Indiana

    If you're registering your new truck in Ky. and it's considered heavy haul you may not have to pay sales tax on the truck...It happened to me because the plates I was getting were for either a 54-55000 GVWR truck. I guess they do that because of all the dump trucks Kentucky has....something to...

    I've had my radiator blown out at a International dealer once and they used a piece of pvc pipe about 1/2 "dia. which was crimped at the end (looked like they used heat and glue to flatten and seal) and had holes drilled on one side of the pipe and it also looked like they heated the pipe to...

    NSA, watch what you say?

    I stand corrected...Ollie North worked with the NSC instead of the NSA....if the trial wasn't so darn long I'd read the transcript... that and the fact I'm not all that interested in it.

    NSA, watch what you say?

    Back during the Ollie North trials the Government said there was no such thing as the NSA and said they didn't know what he was talking about....now NSA is all in your face....I guess now that Congress funds the NSA it's okay...just wondering who lies about what?

    Hamburgers again

    We use to frequent Mom & Pop restaurant as much as possible but realized the food wasn't all that fresh...I guess to make any type of a profit they had to keep selling an item until it was gone. If there's a Mom & Pop restaurant around my home that's got good food then that's where I'll eat but...

    Bag-less Walmart

    I noticed a while back that Wal-mart started using white bags instead of the blue ones, I guess everyone could tell Wal-marts bags from everyone else's bag so they switched them. I went to one of the Wal-marts in Ca. with a buggy full of stuff and was confronted with the bag issue at the...

    Any such thing as a 5 year warranty?

    Lease purchase worked fine for me...just plan for the balloon payment at the end of the lease and if think you'll want to keep the truck then make sure there's a buyout clause in the contract or you'll have to hand over the keys at the end of the term. We claimed the lease payments during the 5...
