    The list of docked threads at the top of this forum was getting long, decreasing the chance that the docked threads would be read and pushing fresh threads out of sight. Going forward, we're going to use this thread to link to the threads that were docked and others that contain essential information for experienced drivers.

    I've learned so much on here over the years. You guys even helped me stay warm when my engine kept shutting off in a ND parking lot in winter. Thanks for everything!
