    The cameras are just there to catch you with the lot lizards, so they can earn a little extra revenue selling it to internet porn sites.

    I admire your eloquence. I've never had anything that kind to say about it.

    Yeah. I have a passion for old cars.

    I managed to get them all converted to R134, properly, and I don't care about the ways you can get R12, I went to Wal-mart and bought several flats of 134. If I have to open the system, I'm not paying R12 prices, and I won't have any A/C problems for years, because I replace everything and pump it down if I have to open the system.

    We did blow a high-pressure port valve on our Volvo 670, and we didn't have time to fix it, so I threw my gauges and a few cans of 134 into the truck and off we went. We bought JB-Weld at a truck stop, I pulled out the core from the Schrader valve and filled it up with the epoxy and let it set overnight, then in the morning, I put it back in and charged the system. That was months ago, and it's still blowing cold air. If anyone ever tries to hook up gauges to it, they'll have a nasty surprise, and that little piece of hose that goes around the condensor would have to be replaced to hook up gauges again, but no one but me should be touching any air conditioner that we own anyway. My temporary repair will probably last for years.

    He is right, if your truck has new quallcom ,its possible they are spying on you.
    telephones do not have to be programmed for them to listen,they'll pick up your signal like a scanner and send or record and send when signal is good.
    CRST has listening devices in the hotel rooms they use for orientation so I would not doubt they are spying too

    Yeah they're called video cameras.

    Mobile phones of course utilize airwaves the same as any other radio unit. The difference is the fact that the equipment used to transcode the digitally encrypted data is foremost illegal for civilians to own, more expensive than the civilian market can afford, too complex for anyone outside the telecommunications world to even begin to grasp let alone use efficiently. Cellphones have been encrypted since the days of the bag phones. Nothing after the Motorola H is unscrambled over the air.

    Now the whole thing gets that much funnier when you try to convince people that a carrier would have either the time, money, knowledge and most importantly the interest to go through all that hassle. To top it off the legality of owning equipment that the homeland security has blacklisted as terrorist equipment.

    Every line of the OP that started this thread can be refuted by anyone who understands a computer well enough to build one. The whole thing is a joke. I am very happy that the truckers figured that out, I didn't realize so many of you knew modern technology so well. :)
