    Talking about the laws that require farms to be certified "cruelty free" or some crap like that? Can only have a certain number of animals in a certain space etc. etc. etc. ?

    Somewhat. They are classifying AI as rape/animal cruelty. That pretty much takes care of the dairy industry right there. It's nuts what they are pushing. Because eating animals is bad and they want everyone to be vegetarian. Just like the meat shortages is commiefornia right now because of confinement laws. If you want affordable abundant meat, pretty much the only option.

    So stupid.

    People will go along with it and then start screaming about the price of a gallon of milk or a pound of meat.

    Pulling the forward drive axle out as we speak!! 4 too many tires for me to handle!! :rolleyes:
    Kidding kidding..

    Now I can order the "18 Wheeler" dinner at the Winchester in Edgerton & not feel like a fraud.. lol :D

    Do wish this new truck was a 120 hood like the one you pictured so I'd have the opportunity to stuff a big Detroit under there in the future though...

    Besides the a/c, how's the new truck doing? I'm in the same boat right now. I've been using nothing but heat for the last month and a half. Now I'm down in Texas and sweating my butt off. Went to turn on the a/c and a big nope on that. Crap. However, I have two fans going and both screens in.....lol

    Parts guy at my local mhc claimed they had figured it out when he was working the counter in Denver. But they haven't figured out how to again. They can do some who dah to it but then other things won't work either. It's a certain order of button clicks or something to get it to work. I wish I had esa/Davie or whatever it is they use to change things as I could experiment myself. It's annoying as #### to be trying to get a run at a car to pass it and that thing keeps dinging or it freak out with a traffic barrel and slam on the brakes at a pattern change.

    Low pro 22.5s if you're on tall 24.5s will drop some weight if you've got the gearing for it.

    24.5s are 59 pounds vs 45 for a 22.5

    Standard tall 24.5 tire is roughly 130 pounds vs 105 for a 275 lp 22.5.

    So 189 pounds per wheel and tire on tall 24.5 vs 150 for lp 22.5. Ends up 400 pounds on the truck alone, or 700 pounds on all 18.

    Ain't much can be done when you need 99% of whats on your truck in order to do the job. The 579 and combo flat full kitted I ran was just over 30k. No extra from personal belongings.

    I expect all the states to follow California’s emission footsteps sooner rather than later…
