    You 100%. Fine line between ltl and expedite. Both mean cheap anymore. And "oh its automotive" cheap. I know what I need and I won't do it for less. I will go broke before I run cheap. Better than running cheap just to go broke!

    Yeah I know. It does help though. Get that engine temp to at least 220° for a half hour or so, give it a chance to burn off.

    Sounds like a China made knockoff of my favorite brand ? MD 20/20 ?
    It might get my vote. Depending on how well it can provide the level of customer service I've grown to expect. Cheaper is better right ?

    Load the wagon ! The mule is blind.

    It simply doesn’t matter when your lightweight and it’s cold out.

    I could run 65mph in 9th all the way to Tucumcari tomorrow and it won’t do crap for heat. Yeah, it’s cold out... but even if it wasn’t I need to work the turbo — these aerospace partials do not do that.

    Emission motors. Reinventing the wheel.

    @Ruthless My fav. "Well its a partial" Ok do you have anything else to go? "No". "Its $2.00's a mile loaded". Does it deliver to my driveway? "No". "Its a fair loaded rate". Do you have a reload going to my driveway? "No" Do you walk into walmart, placing $300.00 of food in your cart and inform them you are only authorized to pay them $175.00? "No" So now please explain why you think its ok to do that to me!

    Hmm, maybe cover your grill so the engine compartment holds heat better.

    All of the above.

    You can’t do both. One roams the parking lots, smells like arse and works on volume. “Gotta go, gotta go, GOTTA GO!”

    The other gets a day rate. You’re not paying for sex, you’re paying for her time. If you want to thump, she will thump, but she’s in no hurry. She will cook you breakfast, draw your bath, read to you, whatever. You pay her rate, you got her undivided attention for a 24 hours.

    Here’s the thing, you can only do 1 well. You’re not going to turn tricks in a parking lot and get a big day rate in the penthouse suite. If you are a paying customer that’s staying in the penthouse suite, you most certainly will not give the streetwalker in the parking lot $15000, no matter what she looks like.

    So, as a driver, make your choice...do you want to be low end or high end? Performance vs miles...pick one or the other. BTW, stinky people are ALWAYS low end.
