Truthfully, it all depends on the truck and operating expenses and of course attitude. If you can keep the expenses down and the truck in service as much as possible and of course put up with the customer service attitude needed - yes it is worth it. A few of us are working the numbers to...

Thanks Dave, thats the problem it seems my state hires dumb people. I get one answer, a pause and then told to call another number to confirm the information and then get different answers, confusing and frustrating. I like the manual, cool boots! I would like to hear from others.

Actually the 6.2/6.5 diesel site has a lot of oil related stuff on it, but you have to be a member. One of the contributors is (I think) a lubercant expert and when i was a member i read a lot of the reviews. I will contact the site (may even join again seeing i have a 6.5) and get some...

Ok this is a dumb fuel tax question. I got conflicting information about fuel taxes and the GVW of a truck from my state (great state of denial Michigan). Can someone explain the difference between >10K, 26K and >33K trucks with fuel taxes? Is there a difference or are all trucks covers...

Stay at the truck stop, why bother seeing all those sights in SF. Seriously take in the city, it is a great city - enjoyed it a lot when I was out there. I liked the off the beaten track sighte and China town. I did see a former class mate there, some guy named Wyland (or somthing like that)...

Being rather p*ssed off at this state and this lying governor, I did a little research. I looked at all the laws relating to this issue, and find it all convoluted as usual; as I am told time and again Commercial Vehicles with the GVW over 10K is to scale and is not a truck. But I find that...

Dell, Gateway, Compaq, Win’whatever’, HP and Panasonic – I have owned about 40 laptops. I had little problems with my last gateway, but on the other hand my dad has had nothing but problems. Dell - good machine but tech support was always – let’s say out of warrantee issues, for...

I know of one person who has, they are not an EO member. I called them up and asked them what the results have been. Here is the info; 2002 Sprinter 3500 275K on the clock, average trip is 200 miles. Amsoil since the second month – second oil change. Extended the oil changes from 10K to 15K...

This is typical of this d**n state. The law was anything over 5 Tons or 10K – commercial only even though it said all trucks - has for a long long time. Funeral Vehicles are exempt under a different law in Michigan for obvious reasons. What state is the van registered in? this may be...

This is really directed to van owners, but may apply to other trucks. I am wondering about something, why do people change their oil so much? I ran across a couple van owners who literally change their oil every week (I don’t think these vans get over 2000 miles a week), a few get to 3000...

White coat syndrome that is what it is. I had to teach my doctors office how to fill out the DOT form, I should have been paid for my time. My BP is high when I arrive at the doctors, first because of dumb office staff syndrome and going through the same c**p with them every time –...
