I used to have a lot of respect of semi drivers not anymore.
The so-called professionals have been thrown out the window. That's what. I hate semi drivers on the road unless I come upon my friend's cousin somehow. BTW that did happen during hayday last year... What a coincedence.... He called my friend on the CB to warn him about not having his warning flasher visible (he was our "escort" on the rear fro safety's sake).

Most CDL drivers in Iowa have no respect for right of way. Especially the Hy-Vee trucks. Most drivers don't even speak English down here.

Trying not to cross the line here but it's not the white drivers doing this. I have a friend that's a HD mech he's telling me that they (the drivers) are cutting holes in the sleeper floor to relive themselves so they don't have to stop, WTF is that all about.
Doesn't surprise me.

Isn't she cute? Good luck bro!

Well time for my rant...

Can't the county take care of the gravel roads???? For heaven's sake.. Mercy please! They always angle the curves the wrong way so it is easy to slide off the road in ANY weather... Rain snow ice drought... And people don't know what "too fast" means on gravel. Most places I take 35MPH. There are only a few stretches that, depending on road condition, I can take at 55MPH. That assumes they are dry, have no gravel on them (yep), and no oncoming traffic. And no curves that fast!

I've got 2!

One like this:




And this:



Want them with the stabbies? They've been in storage for a few years. Gently used condition. Shipping from here would probably suck **** though to be worth it. lol But yea...price on them WAS lame when I got them.

This is in response to a thread in the tech section, wanted to stay on topic so I'm posting it here.

My non-existent transfer case isn't working, do you think my plenum could be be the problem?
