    If you have good basic mechanics skills, you can overhaul one fairly easy. From remove, overhaul to reinstall was just a few hours. Think the kit was like $140.00.

    I read, and had been told by a guy working in a little truck stop, they close it quickly now because the towns have nowhere for all the trucks to park, and they run out of supplies.

    Then the resupply takes a few days, so things are afu for a week.

    That's why the highway is often open going out, but not coming in.

    I know that truck parking plays a roll in where the closure starts... As parking fills up they will back the closure up to the next town. Hadnt heard the supplies side of it... But it makes sense.

    Ah, I see... I guessed IA because they had the salt shakers out earlier when I came through the western side of the state...

    80 in eastern NE is getting a little slick. I lost traction once in Lincoln, and again a few miles west of Lincoln. A small amount of dusty snow is in the air and swirling on the ground.
