    I have seen emails with some outrageous prices to haul lumber. With that said, its not normally the case around me. I put it in a 8' pickup bed and close the tailgate. Just that puts me over my skill level with wood.

    All I can offer Sir.

    Ok, those are the DRL's, or Daytime Running Lights. Opti-Idle is a DDEC feature that has been around for ages. Basically, shut engine off, set brakes and hood closed and you enable it on the dash menu. It will then start the engine when the batteries draw down to a set point or you can also set it for climate. Meaning it will start engine to cool/heat based on where you set the thermostat. It's a great feature for battery APU systems because you don't have to worry about losing a/c in the middle of the night if your APU batteries are weak or you have it set to "kill" in the middle of an AZ afternoon.

    Always replace the thermostat seals when replacing the thermostats. They are just a brass/Teflon lip seal that goes in the bottom of the housing that seal to the thermostat housing. You should notice a wear pattern on your old ones to see where it rides.

    Yeah it’s not paying good,but everything else out of Oregon is paying garbage.The only difference is that it’s taking me straight to the house just outside of San Antonio for a little over $2 a mile versus the other ones that we’re paying $1.80 and were not going to take me home.Eugene Oregon to San Antonio.

    Oh no, it's much more strategic than that sir. She is very good about keeping it full. That is, right until I need it for something, then like magic....no fuel. Kind of a rule at our place....nothing gets below 3/4. That way if you need to go somewhere for whatever the reason.....you can.
