layoutshooter, It don't matter what they say, it didn't come in there with the drain plug leaking or falling out, did it? They accepted the responsibility of the truck the second they had you pull into the bay. They have an obligaiton not to screw up the equipment they work on and they are...

The way it is supposed to work is the FMCSA has to revise the regulation as it is on the books, there is no automatic going back. The ruling made the regulation invalid but until there is a revision, the regulation is enforced and a notice from the regulatory agency that revision will take/has...

I heard of it but never used it so I can't say good or bad. I would say that speedco owes you an oil pan and installation of it by a qualified DD mechanic. I would not go any other way except the correct way to fix it. the bung idea is ok for small holes where the pressure on the plug is not...

"I can only imagine the paranoia back when the first Canadian trucks could take freight out of the U.S. Did the sky fall???" Yea actually it did, fell right on my foot! Seriously, there was less of an impact due to the things that bond us together, one is language and the other is our origin...

Putting an averages on a set of tires is not easy to determine, the depth is one of a few indicates, the other is the general condition of the tires themselves, are they crowned or cupped, are the missing pieces in the tread or scraped up on the side of the tire. Were they rotated at all during...

Now I am just trying to clarify this. You get offered a load This load was offered to another truck and it did not respond to the offer fast enough. You accept the load You prep and start rolling You get…. say 20 miles into the load and then you get a load canceled over the QC You call...

OVM, The transit I drove is at 12K gvw because they were under the impression I only owned the truck, I later learned I could have gotten the passenger version of the thing for the weekend. By the way, that is not what the van is going to be rated, they are going to (or plan on at this moment)...

"The Sprinter had growing pains like ANY new model" OVM, the sprinter is not a new model if you are talking about 2006 and prior - production started in 95. The growing pains is nothing more then poor dealers. As for the Ford, the new transit (UK version) is not the van I drove today. The one...

I thought Vans were exempt from the exemption that you can take with trucks? Well at least in Michigan.

Tuesday, July 24, 2007 – Truckers will once again face another new hours-of-service regulation, thanks to a ruling that eliminates the 34-hour restart and 11-hour driving limit. The U. S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit issued a ruling today on a pair of challenges to...

x06col that makes too much sense

Asked what "American Pie" meant, McLean once replied, "It means I never have to work again." Later, he more seriously stated, "You will find many 'interpretations' of my lyrics but none of them by me...Sorry to leave you all on your own like this but long ago I realized that songwriters should...

Rich, I honestly seem to think that it really don't matter, as long as the log book is consistent with your operating the truck. I may be naive about this but not once, not even a hint from the inspectors who look over my log book seemed to care what form it was in, they cared that I had my...

I am sort of leaning towards David's remarks. For some reason it seems that that the thread originated with a political centric statement, and has gone through several comments that are somewhat related but off topic. The Iraq comments are for what it's worth actually more related to the...

Leo, I have an R4b and a TR4 but looking for an T4xb to balance it all out. I also have the 2/6 Transverters for the b/c line and a bunch of other accessories that I collected over the years.

THAT'S it!!!! Driving the desk right now is not exciting at all.

Got one of this XM radio thing on eBay last year for $5 and finally got a cradle kit for it $30. Activated it last night and now what? I don't see the excitement, where is the excitement of this thing? What am I missing or did I take the hype too seriously? The amazing thing is I have...

layoutshooter, I feel for you, dingell is as useless for Michigan as Granholm and Levin. Not one of them has done anything for our state and we are so stupid reelecting them, it is no longer funny. I think in his case, having been there for 52 years and his father 22 years before is a sad...

Dreamer, As a person who has seen a lot of the adverse events related to this drug, you would not believe what some people do to have S*E*X. Some things are truly pathetic while others are, well let's say really funny. One reason I am totally against drug company advertising is illustrated...

Well guys/gals here is my point. According to the news this morning, some odd comment was made that we have unions who are against this, but at the same time are for invaders being allowed to live here and drive down the standards of living. There is something wrong there. The unions are the...
