    Seems like every fast food place asks ....would you like to try...fill in the blank instead of just asking for your order...so annoying...I don't answer and just start to order

    Actually the add ons are higher profit items than the main entrees. The biggest profit maker is the soda.

    Chris was the same way, but a kidney stone that put him in the hospital for 3 days changed his mind so he drinks alot of it now. He tried the flavored water and it was ok, but then I got him the Crystal Light packs that you can add to a bottle of water and he liked those better..He did try the MiO water enhancer stuff, but couldn't find a flavor he really liked.

    Ya gotta love how these threads have more twists and turns than a two lane county road in West "by gawd" Virginia.

    What are 22.5 low pros and is that what we have on these trucks? Also does anyone know what gear ratio Roehl has in these trucks?

    I think the rears on the Roehl's trucks are 3:55 or 3:58. I am not sure which size tire roehl runs on the trucks, I know they run lo pro 22.5s on the trailers, but I am not sure about the tractors. There was a really good article in Landline a couple of years back that told how tire size and gear ratio effected the final ratio and the rpm of the motor in each gear. The TMC also has a really good article that covers most of the same information. I do know that the tread width is the same, the side wall height is the difference, about 1" if my memory serves me... I used to know all of this inside and out, right up to and including how much tire wear would effect the speedo...
