    You totally dodged the bullet with that one. He could have taken you and your truck to jail. And, any ticket for over 100mph stays on your driving record for 7 years, not 4 like a regular ticket. Ask me how I know.

    Reuse injectors without changing o-rings?

    I would never reinstall an injector without changing the o-ring. Especially since the o-rings are so cheap. It's a lot of work to get to them and it is a huge hassle to get back in there if something doesn't seal correctly. I've never pulled or swapped an injector, on any vehicle, without...

    With all that work, you'd think the customer would have sprung for a new, decent harmonic balancer and pulley assembly. Sounds like the shop does some decent work at reasonable prices. Hard to find these days. But, maybe I'm just too used to what it costs to do antique car engines. I'm saving up...

    I've had a set of Auxito LED bulbs in another car for about 4 years and they are still doing fine. Only issue I've noticed is that lately, there are times when you can hear one of the fans making noise if the headlights are on and the car isn't running. I guess a fan is stating to go out but it...

    Makes perfect sense. Thanks.

    For $10 I would have kept the old if it was still in working order. Also, is it just the color of the pulleys or does the new one have a larger pulley?

    Someone was doing a lousy job with the seam sealer for so many people to be having leaking issues.

    I have a passenger endorsement on my CDL. I have doubles/triples, tank and passenger. Those trucks don't have air brakes. Not sure how they figure the overall weight, though. As was previously mentioned, anything with air brakes is an automatic CDL.

    It varies from state to state. I know guys that own antique cars that have been pulled over and weighed for hauling with a 1 ton dually and a very large enclosed trailer. Some guys have huge trailers since they own multiple cars and they wanted to have a single trailer to haul whatever they...

    This is one reason it always amazed me there is no special license required for operating a Class A motorhome. Just have your regular license and go from driving to your Honda Accord to legally driving a monster motorhome. Makes zero sense. At one time I was a forklift trainer and certifier for...

    I still get my medical every 2 years so I can keep it as an interstate CDL. One bonus to keeping my CDL is I never have to worry about being flagged for being overweight when hauling one of my antique cars in an enclosed trailer. My one car weighs 5,000lbs and then when you add in the enclosed...

    Any CDL driver worth his salt has a club and checks his tires every time he stops and during his pre-trip inspection. Most 1 ton pickup drivers never bother to check the inside tires, though. It is a combination of the lack of air pressure along with the sidewalls rubbing that causes the tire...

    You should really rethink those high speed runs unless you have tires specifically rated for those speeds. Not to mention you are in a very high center of gravity vehicle. As mentioned before, you won't always see the damage done until you have a catastrophic tire loss. There's a reason cars...

    Adding additional grounds is never a bad thing. Extra ground leads have solved many a strange issue in previous vehicles I have owned. One had a weak grounding point under the battery and the temp gauge would freak out every once in awhile. Also, the lights would dim with low idle, headlights...

    Every time I am at a gas station, I see people clicking the filler handle over and over making sure that fuel is all the way at the top of the filler neck. Anyone that has taken a look at the evap system knows the vapor return is up at the top of the filler neck and if you get fuel flowing back...
