    what is UPS doing?

    Just an FYI There are times when a thread needs to be pulled. I can't comment on this specific thread but I can tell you when I was a Mod for a car forum, someone posted a press release from Ford about the new Mustang. He was an employee of Ford and a really great and reliable source for good...

    What would you do?

    You are standing in Wal-Mart, looking at the magazines and books in one of those sections that have half shelves by the check out lanes when a woman and her kids (one 4 year old and a baby in one of them car seat things in the basket) are at the end of the isle. The older kid grabs a magazine...

    Why you don't leave your dinner.....

    ....on the steps of your truck. Yesterday when I was sitting here in the same spot I am occupying today, a dog came in over the hill facing me and ran through the lot and left. Today, after a hard run this afternoon I returned and watch as the same dog flew over the hill and into the lot...

    RE: ïWĥăţ¿ I would actually wait on the iPhone thing, Apple products really need at least one version cycle to get the bugs worked out of it. Beside when the first version's life cycle is complete and the second hits the market, there will be more features to play with.

    Computer Mapping Volunteers Needed

    ¡Team¿ By far the non-laptop solutions are the best but for those like me who have used a laptop for a while and programs like MS S&T, we get by and some are jelious. The one thing that I have been trying to do for a while is to add real points of interest to the MS S&T - not push pins...

    legal sleeper

    Well I got to add something here. When I was a managr of a transportation department of a lab, we had three cargo vans. One of them had no barrier to speak of between the cargo area and the seats. One night one of our great drivers decided to run a stop light and got nailed for it. In turn she...

    flat bed expedite??

    Funny thing you are all talking about flat Bed expedite and the subject of UPS was brought up a couple times today on other threads - put the two together and you have a UPS flatbed truck sitting next to me. Odd I didn't know that they did any flat bed work, but again I have seen a lot of...

    RE: iTeam I am glad Phil is doing this but I know that there are a couple others that are missed and no one really uses, like Map Point. Well about using the phone, try that in places like Wyoming where I could not even get a signal on any of my phones in the middle of no where at my pickup...

    Phil, I agree with what you are saying but my truck is about the same size as that one and I would venture to say I have a better turning radius than the KW there. I drove a couple of them and just didn't like the cramped feel of the cab. x06col, Thanks for the comments, I would like to see...

    oil changes

    You know guys, both of you make good points but got to tell you that you need to understand it is an excellent idea to keep receipts, however it is a far better thing to make sure you know what condition the oil (and the engine for that matter) is in if you elect to follow the recommendation of...

    oil changes

    New truck? Great! Go get the oil sampled and analyised. Speedco does this. This will tell you where you are as a new engine. It may seem as a waste of money but 10000 miles is a good start to baseline the engine, 5000 may be better. And do this every oil change. But if you go to a...

    Michelin Super Singles

    I have a few questions; 1 - How much did they cost per tire/wheel? 2 - Why didn't you have the tire monitor installed when you got them? Sorry, I found out that the system you mention is a valve stem monitor system, not a 'in the tire/straped to the rim' install. 3 - What tire pressure do...

    Did you write AND call.......

    ...... your senator and representative? I am on the road and after a rather interesting couple days in the Rockies, I now have time to catch up on everything. The one thing I have been trying to read on my ‘vacation’ is the complete immigration bill in the senate. What a crock this is and...

    a fireplace in your sleeper

    Fire place? What's next, helo-pad? I think that there should be a legal limit of what can be put on a truck chassis for safety's sake.
