    Alright. Still waiting for a door at Wolverine for my 1000. Guess I get to take another break here after driving an hour.

    Hey Brian,

    Wolverine? Sounds like an action figure?

    You can always go down & park at the Mc Donalds on the corner. We all know Ronald McDonald scares crackheads so you should be safe down there!

    LOL I'll be finishing up my 8 at 6 so I think I'll be ok. Zeff's Coney Island (Which I guess is Michigan speak for a diner that also offers hot dogs? Or Jersey speak for a 1/3 price increase?) has put me in a better state of mind. Hopefully the sandman will grant me a nap til then.

    BTW, Chicago failed to screw me totally yesterday. I made it to the top of the ramp at the 167 (Ann Arbor), went to line 1, and when I pulled out the friendly voice informed me I was out of drive time. Anthony Weiner also pulled out today, if you haven't heard :)

    im getting tired of my truck putting on a show with this white smoke blowing from the exhaust and everyone is so quick to tell me that my brakes are locked up!!! it only happens when im under a heavy load and pulling hills and have been recently using my jake... i guess i got to call the ol boys in sheldon to see what could be the issue...

    If it's blowing white smoke it could be your turbo going out causing the white smoke. When you're idling do you notice anything?

    Hawk,
    I'll agree with Rob, sounds like a turbo issue, good call on calling Sheldon, DON"T write it up for Waynesboro. I wrote up a squealing fan belt and missing bolts for the deer bumper, guess what, I got new bolts!

    Brian,

    yea trying to invoke some humor, I guessed you were in the Wolverine state, or that you got a job with Wolverine Transport! LOL.

    Be safe.

    naw, when im idling nothing... it only does it in 7th High thru 8th High when im loaded... but it only does it at certain times.... no loss of power or anything, it pulls like a #### champ actually while its blowing the smoke... but i will say something... Hey Matt, did you run the northeast the week or go back out west??
