    Changing lanes, BEWARE.

    I know that some states have signage stating the left lane is for passing but this is all together different because you may be passing a car or two but you happen to notice Mario coming up on you at a high rate of speed so you try and get over to get out of his way but you may find yourself...

    Changing lanes, BEWARE.

    Going through Austin, Tx. will always find me in the middle lane...well before I get to Austin and well afterwards too. In Landline I saw Fl. is trying to pass a law that even though you're doing the speed limit in the fast lane you must move over for someone that's speeding and about to over...

    DT 466 E No Start. Air in fuel?

    a service manager at International once told me it takes a certain minimum of voltage to fire the ECM on these trucks, I can't elaborate on that...it's just something I heard Good Luck

    DT 466 E No Start. Air in fuel?

    this may sound stupid but my International will not fire when the voltage is around 12.3 volts and as soon as I realize it's having a hard time I quit cranking it and spray a little starting fluid in the intake and she'll fire....rough but it'll fire...helps to have someone crank it while it's...

    DT 466 E No Start. Air in fuel?

    Bob if you still haven't found the problem!....there's a return fuel line that comes off the filter housing that returns unused fuel to the #2 tank....the #1 tank is the tank that supplies fuel to the engine....if the plastic fitting comes loose it'll cause the fuel line to loose it's...

    Garmin Dezl 760

    look to see if there's a very small hole on the unit somewhere if so this could be the reset...something like a round toothpick may work by inserting it into the hole...if so then carefully do it....this is just a guess and maybe something else may work better...your decision.

    home time

    Landstar is great for letting you be you...you tell them you want to be out of service for x-amount of time and they wont bother you at all....and they seem to move freight through your area...jmho!

    Wonder how many trucks were lost to "Carb" rules Jan 1st?

    I guess I stand corrected about the fire but it was extremely polluted at one time.

    Wonder how many trucks were lost to "Carb" rules Jan 1st?

    States can make amendments to the federal DOT regulations but can not delete any Federal regulations....such as La. issuing fines for having the lift axle controls within reach of the operator...we were busted twice and it didn't matter that the truck was purchased this way. I use to love...

    Get that Fuel Ticket - TA/Petro

    I meant to check and see if I had been double dipped but forgot....thanks for reminding me!....no double dipping this time. I wouldn't think the payment method would matter as long as you loyalty card was swiped when requested.

    Wonder how many trucks were lost to "Carb" rules Jan 1st?

    I replaced the trucks engine last year with a brand new crate motor with the same emission standards as my 2003 engine...the engine was new old stock and came complete with turbo, air compressor, ECM, everything except for the fan and pulleys and starter...paid $ 8500.00 and received $ 1k for...

    Aluminum vs Steel replacement liftgate??

    Mine got so bad that I removed it from being listed as a lift gate equipped D unit...part of me wants to rebuild the fold out section for a little bit longer use and the rest of me wants to remove the boat anchor and have a new ICC bumper fabricated, I only need the truck for a 1-2 years if that.

    Algae and Bacteria in Fuel

    preventing algae and buying crappy fuel with algae in it are two different things or at least in my opinion.
