    What will happen going from 58 MPH to 65 MPH to fuel mileage

    What about the sweet spot of the engine? I found that dropping to ~58 lowered my milage from 10.3 to 10 but when I run the truck at 63 which is at the sweet spot of the engine, I get back up to 10.3. These are winter numbers - summer it is close to 11.2. I drive the same route with the same...

    Nope it does not work that way either, there are issues with contracts and wills that do not allow some things to be free of interfierence.

    And that's the problem, the issues at hand are not federal ones but state and individual issues so when they get involved and tell me who can be considered my partner or who can access money or control what I do with my property, it oversteps their boundaries and limits my rights/freedoms. It...

    Rightly? Seriously that's a stretch. Well then if we want to talk about protecting marriage within the confines of Society and children in order for the protection of it, then why do we have no laws that stop divorce and allow common law marriages? There is nothing more destructive to the...

    Older Trucks

    Well I think the better question is what type of owner you are? One that needs a new truck because you want to treat it as a car, one that is able to handle a older one and maintain it and one that is hands on and not afraid of working. In that many owners who have older trucks don't do the PM...

    Actually jim, I'm not trying to be an expert, that is reserved for another member ... actually two. My suggestion and comments are based on common sense which is a lot of times is lost when people get behind the wheel BECAUSE they are rushed. Many are conditioned by this BS notion that there...

    I only am making suggestions that take people beyond the norm. I can only offer what I have learned without a nab unit and hope it would help someone.

    I think that general Lee's point when he was asked to fight for the union and refused is where I was going. He said in affect that he could not fight against his country, Virginia, not upholding the constitution. I think this was the issue with many throughout the country, states were not held...

    And I agree but until we as a people get the idea that we dont need those in churches dictating to us, we won't get back to where we need to be.

    Honestly I'm thinking this goes beyond the nav unit. Many become too dependent on them and get mad at the carrier or the unit itself, so I think it is funny when every gets upset with comments like use a map.

    Structured Fuel Surcharge

    Ditto I don't get the issue, if one operates under the assumption that there is a cost affiliated with running the van, then it isn't a problem when they give you X for the FSC. I don't think that it is an issue with me any more, I am looking at the bottom line, not the breakout of each segment...

    Again right on target. Another great invention is the telephone ... now called a cell phone but the principle is the same. I would call the number I get and do something that most guys refuse to do, ask for directions. When I get those odd addresses, something like that secret GM testing...

    I understand what you are saying but there is a bit of a difference. I use the same sex marriage thing as just a quick example but I can tell you another - Islam. But taking my original example, it is in a long line of issues that present the problem when a religious organization uses the...

    I'm just wondering when did that oath actaully been created? Reading about the founding of pur country, I am finding hard to believe that they would not have taken an oath to their "country" meaning their state first.

    The one thing that this points to is the fight over same sex marriage. After understanding the 'fight' to maintain what some consider a marriage, the commentator seems to get it right, a group of religious people are using the government to dictate to the population at large.
