    diesel strike april 1st-5th-dont buy diesel

    I am choosing to accept that your attack is misdirected. Actually, you DO have other options that you have chosen not to excercise. All of us who continue to pay $4 per gallon have other options, but we view $4 per gallon as the lesser of the evils. For instance, you could sell your truck...

    diesel strike april 1st-5th-dont buy diesel

    #1. Why would they? Why not ask corn-producers to simply charge less? Why not ask the feds to raise the value of the USDollar (as if that were possible)? #2. If you worked your butt off and bought 10,000 shares of stock in Exxon, how would you feel if they started giving your gains (hard...

    OEM back up camera

    You may be right, I dunno. I can tell you that his monitor is integrated into the rear-view mirrow. The monitor is invisible until you put the truck in reverse, then you see it in the mirror. If that isn't a factory install, his mirror may be after-market also. I can tell you it's pretty cool!

    diesel strike april 1st-5th-dont buy diesel

    Point well taken, but I think I probably did a poor job of explaining myself, and after re-reading my posts, I don't blame any of you who are drivers for being offended! In no way did I intend to offend truck drivers. I was one for many years, then I was an owner/operator for over a decade...

    diesel strike april 1st-5th-dont buy diesel

    This is a story that got picked up by the media because they knew that a lot of people would respond with a knee-jerk. I did not intend to imply that the consumer should do nothing. My point was that a one day boycott by a handfull of OTR-drivers, and a bunch of guys with PSDs would have...

    diesel strike april 1st-5th-dont buy diesel

    The point is, boycotting a market commodity for a day or two, and expecting it to have an impact, is a pipe-dream. Did you notice how many trucks were on the road yesterday? THERE OBVIOUSLY IS NO STRIKE! There never was going to be! So....A few guys lost a days revenue by parking their...

    Who is parking their truck today?

    This post made the most sense of the bunch! Having been a past Owner/Operator, I can tell you that most of the efforts of this type made by truck drivers is the result of their lack of understanding of our economy. Niether do those who pay attention to this boycott have a very full...

    Increase tire size and better MPG?

    You also lose torque when you go to bigger rubber. Reduced torque requires more fuel to move the same amount of weight (truck, trailer, etc)

    Seller: Forumpete58

    Purchased RECON light products from Forumpete58. I was extremely busy, and slow to complete the transaction with him. Evenso, Forumpete58 was patient and considerate. Doing business with Forumpete58 was a pleasure and shipment was prompt. I would gladly do business with him again, and...

    '06 6.0 Fuel Gauge?

    I have never heard of this, and I disagree. You will get FAR more water in your tank at the pump than you will ever see from condensation within the tank.

    SCT Xcalibrator 2 question??

    The tune files on your SCT are based on the standard settings on the truck. If your dealer flashed the truck, they updated it to new standard settings, which the SCT is obviously not compatible with. You will probably have to document the codes you are getting, and have SCT update your tuner...

    Imagine if you were trying to breath through a straw. You would suffocate, even though the air is really moving fast. Now, imagine breathing through a large pipe. Therein lies the difference~

    Lufthansa landing at Hamburg Germany

    This thread is WAY off the beaten path, but I knew you all would be as amazed as I was when I saw this. This is a Lufthansa aircraft that encountered extreme crosswinds while trying to land at Hamburg Germany. The crosswind was so bad that the pilot was almost flying sideways! He kicked...
