Just need to remember one thing Blair, your tune is only as good as the weakest link. Plenty of guys out there with shattered transmissions and...
I have to chuckle a bit as I remember one guy stating that your fuel economy and rolling resistance gets better heading south as it's all...
Good deal on the storm shelters Blair and yeah that 53' will pay for itself!
The back box of the transmission has sliding clutches that mesh together to give you high range. That material is what keeps the sliding clutch...
So sad. One of the stupid dangers of overnight deliveries.
A few turns burning the jakes under protest at the truck stop, I'm sure a few suggestive adjectives were grumbled in your direction Blair! But...

You're going to need to tell someone about this at work, preferably your safety department and see what they say. If you try and hide this...
Food poisoning on the road...can't think of much worse besides being physically hurt. Congrats Blair it's tarped and that's what matters but those...
