    Or running over landscaping? If you are (more 18 wheelers than straight). Take pictures IMM. And take pictures of your tires for dirt and grass that if you did would be stuck in the tread. Either get a digital or buy JJ Kellers kit. Do not worry about the digital scare on changing things...

    The pictures A Team put up is a prime Example. How in the world with a sagging body on a Frame does it get by? I am not trying to be a bully here, as nice as condition that I try to keep my truck in know there just might be something to make it fail. So when ONE KNOWS there are major defects...

    Running low on fuel

    Bryan brought up an intresting comment regarding Algea in the tanks. Is not reccommended to run the tanks down to one eight or less for two tanks in a row once in while just to rid them of something like this? Or is using fuel additives better or (both)? I have been told that in automobiles...

    T-300s again

    I find it curious as to some of the posts about another brand of truck. I am no rocket expert here, but I am good at following what others do complain about or compliment about. Dave made a post about spending 10K more vs that brand and one would most likely be happier. I could not agree...

    Freeway Entrance

    You have a long entrance ramp, slight incline up. Truck in Granny lane signals and moves over for you. He begins (she) to pass you but is slowing just a little cause of the uphill. I always let this driver pass, I do not like 4 wheelers squeezing in between and passing him on the right. If...
