    I have used Howes since I bought my first truck in 1994. bought it by the case and always had a minimum of two jugs in the truck jockey box and dosed a quarter jug per 75 gallons when going north of I70 and fueling asap when crossing the border because Canada (except the lower mainland of BC) blends the diesel for a minimum of 20 below F from Oct through April and 40 below F from Dec to March.
    I would still add a bit of Howes in Canada but only about 1/4 jug per 125 gallons. I also carried the red 911 but never had to use it on my own truck but have given about 8 or 10 out on the road and got all but 1 back when we got to the next truckstop. I have also triple dosed a set of tanks with Howes for a guy who was not yet gelled up but was very low on power and it cleared the clouded fuel in about 10 minutes.

    I always figured it had some sort of “cleat” or sharp edge to help dig in...

    Well, I think it has to do with cost. Custom sized skirts are probably more pricey than just putting new ones on when it comes time to trade. Or, when the custom sized ones get torn up, then you have to custom order new ones instead of taking standard sized ones and giving them a little sawzall love.

    I opened the door after saying a little prayer...

    “Ahem, Lord, praise thee. If I must drive another automatic DT12 I’ll be skipping church come Sunday.”

    “Oh well I’ll be ######.”

    Like as in? It's basically scrub brush with some overpriced developments getting sprinkled around for the suburbanites to move away from the city. Overall, kind of laid back as long as you stay off the freeways and frontage roads. Get a block off the I and your in real Texas.

    There are way too many off y'all to mention or quote. First let me say I appreciate all the well wishes from everyone!! It truly means the world to me and my family!! This is one of the many many reasons I come on here and have no other social media accounts!! You guys are a GREAT bunch and we appreciate y'all!! And now an update. Apparently my girl's regular female type doctor left the practice and was replaced by, and this is the ER doctors words, "A real over zealous quack"! My daughter does NOT need surgery!! Thank God!! She is still not feeling great but she is well enough that they cut me off at the pass! So I guess we're going to camp in Kenly and figure out a plan in the morning. Thanks again to everyone!
