    or you can bypass it electrically run a wire outside the driver's window down the door to the battery box...don't want any loose wires be sure to use reflective d.o.t. tape to tack it down

    If it's a Kenworth, kick on the cruise and press set button. Rpm's go to 900 and doesn't shut off. I'm staying for the $1000 and hoping for the best after that. On my way to Edmonton from Tucson.....

    Seemed I couldn't get out of Florida the past two January's.

    If you go to the skyway toll bridge in Tampa. You can drive right up to the pier in your truck and go rent a pole. License comes with the fee to enter the walkway. There will be a rather small rest area I parked over there for two nights. Its a decent walk to the pier or you can go not to the rest area but around like you are going to drive up but there will be a little circle area before you cross a little bridge. Park the truck up there but you can't stay the night. You wanna stay the night use the truck slots in the rest area & walk.

    This is the bigger pier there are two of them. They advertised it as the world's largest lol. It is pretty long though.

    Got a cab to st pete (u can park on the street by days inn as well). Did the beach to.

    Just watch those evil pelicans.
