    well i got a 750 watt inverter plus a 400 watt if i need it, i will run my fridge off the 750 but will buy a 12 volt tv if i can, depends on price, if not then i will just get another 750 watt inverter. i installed my inverter in my last truck, used the breaker but i hard lined right to the battery's. never had a problem with it. how did may install yer inverter?

    Straight to battery. I wanted to the breakout box under the bunk, but was told "no way". Shop lets it sit right behind the driver's seat - it's up to you to secure it, but a couple self-tapping screws takes care of that.

    I dunno about Brooks - if you can wait to Layton, they're fast. They'll suggest you get cable/fuse/etc from a place called just up the road. Guy gives May drivers steep discounts.

    well i am kinda curios, taled to a may driver today at a rest stop in I-5, dont know how accurate he was but he said after talking to other drivers plus his own experiance that during orientation 1 out of 4 was out due to the driving test. not sure of thats mainly ineperianced drivers, or rather i should say he said that, but when he went through orientation there were 3 drivers with experiance, he was the only one of the three to pass the test, the other two failed on there first attempt because they could not drive a 13 speed.

    Alot of the experinced drivers get lazy and make alot of little mistakes because they have X many years behind the wheel and they forget the little stuff sometimes.
    That is why they fail then they get all bent out of shape over them failing because oh I have all these years experince and the jack*** tester does not know what he is doing f this place, etc..
    I have actuaully seen a guy have this additude before in my orentation at May in Utah.

    Best advice is if you do not know how to drive a 13 speed drive it like an 8 speed.
    Do not get mad because you may get stuck with a trainer for a week.

    They typicaly will not fire you for failing a road test as long as you did not wreck and were safe driver.
    If you have alot of little mistakes they will put you with a trainer for a week.

    Shifting on the tracks is an auto fail just about anywhere

    I agree with you. I learned on a 13 speed, ( no not at a school ). I like a 13 speed. And Danny is one of the "Good Guys" at May. And, in your case, 3rd time is a charm. Good luck, have fun and laugh at least once a day.
