Anyone on here know of some good forum sites like this one for bigger over the road trucks. My dad's water temperature gauge is acting up on his CAT engine and need to eliminate wether it's the sensor or needle on gauge.He says it fluctuates, and triggers the overheat light on. anybody have any thoughts?

Hi guys hows everyone doing, my name is Don. Looks like a very cool site with a lot of informative members

Dudes, I've never seen it snow so hard for so long now.When I got up the AM, it was snowing. Twas snowing when I drove to work, and it was still snowing when I got home about 1:15PM. 1:16PM I started shoveling about 5-6" of "lake effect" snow...........however about 5 minutes into the job, the snow stopped. I finished shoveling the drive and the deck.........so I went and got some "adult beverages"!!!Fast forward 1.5 hours...........started snowing real, real hard, and hasn't let up at all. The wind is out of the NE off Lake Michigan.............40-50mph gusts!!!! It's just dumping snow on the West side of my house like you wouldn't believe!!! I'm estimating that there…

Yesterday at 5:00pm it was 82 degrees here, and now it's 27 and falling fast. A 55 degree drop

Hey guys I dont know how many of you follow Ray Williams Johnson but he is hilarious so watch this video. http://www.youtube.com/user/raywilliamjohnson?blend=1&ob=4

I'm thinking of swapping my faithful Cirus for something 4X4 or AWD. Must have easy entry because of my disability. Must be automatic, same reason. With all the problem pushing snow... even considering something with a plow. I'm thinking budget used... So far I've spotted 1990 Mitsubishi Montero, 1989 Dodge Raider (which I believe is the same rebranded vehicle)... an older CJ7 but I'm concerned about the entry... Years ago I had a Dodge (rebranded Mitsubishi) Challenger which was a very nice vehicle in it's own right, if you could get over the reuse of the nameplate. What would you look at? Russ

A woman from Los Angeles, CA who was a treehugger, a Democrat, and an anti-hunter, purchased a piece of timberland nearRiggins, ID. There was a large tree on one of the highest points in the tract.She wanted a good view of the natural splendor of her land so she started toclimb the big tree. As she neared the top she encountered a spotted owl that attacked her. In her haste to escape, the woman slid down the tree to the ground and gotmany splinters in her crotch. In considerable pain, she hurried to the ER to see a doctor. She told him she was an environmentalist, a democrat, and an anti-hunter andhow she came to get all the splinters. The do…

Now is Square A the same color as Square B? Go ahead and check the color using a photo editor and you tell me!

He flew around the block to take a picture. I guess maybe I should get rid of my truck and trailers when I need to haul my 4 wheelers around!

Well, it's less than 1 hour from the kick off for the midwest superbowl. Who do y'all like and why???? I think it'll be a close game with a lot of carnage and hard hits. The field and Soldier Field always sucks.............this time of year it's just painted dirt!!! My prediction, 24-20 Da Bears and Aaron Rodgers doesn't finish the game!!!

The Gun Is Civilization In light of the tragic events of last week in Arizona, and the stringent cries from gun-control advocates for tougher laws, we felt this essay, written by an anonymous marine and circulated through email during the early part of 2010, to be a timely piece that needed revisiting. Leaving citizens unarmed is not the answer to tragic incidents like the one that killed several innocent bystanders and critically wounded a sitting congresswoman. You cannot have a civilized society when the only people armed are the predators and law-breakers that prey on the weak and defenseless. --- Human beings only have two ways to deal with one another: reason and…

Well men, I found me a 53 motor 85k on the clock and $750.00:hyper: But the block is cracked so I will let you know how that goes.Stay tuned it"s going to be a good one I'am sure.

Where did Piss Poor come from? Interesting History - They used to use urine to tan animal skins, so families used to all pee in a pot & then once a day it was taken & Sold to the tannery.......if you had to do this to survive you were "Piss Poor" But worse than that were the really poor folk who couldn't even afford to buy a pot......they "didn't have a pot to piss in" & were the lowest of the low The next time you are washing your hands and complain because the water temperature isn't just how you like it, think about how things used to be. Here are some facts about the 1500s: Most people got married in June because they took their yearly bath in May, and the…

Did any of you see the degree deodorant commercial that has 3 guys and they put on a meat ponchos then wolves run after them?:lmao::lmao:

Got 8-10" dumped on us, figured I would show you 4wd guys how it's done :lol:One thing to note for the 24V/12V debate, when I backed up it died when I let off. It was revved up a little and it decelerates so fast that it can't catch itself. This was only because the engine was 13F and my idle is already set really low, if it caught it still would have been idling at only 500. That was actually the first time I have had it die on me, usually I catch it before it drops too far. But I still like being able to lug it like that.

Goinig to pull the engine out of one of these and see how we go http://www.cadillac.com/vehicles/2011/cts-v/overview.do?seo=goo_%7C_2008_Cadillac_Retention_%7C_IMG_Cadillac_CTS-V_%7C_CTS_V_Exact_%7C_cts_v&gclid=CIjXxZWiwKYCFRhzgwod_y9IHA --- Update to the previous post... http://www.cadillac.com/ctsVSedan/2011/features-specs/ yes thats 550HP !! on like 4000lbs

With a population just over 200K, Boise Idaho is a small but industrious town. Several U.S. companies are headquartered in Boise including URS Corporation. One of the great Pacific-Northwest cities, Boise is similar to many American towns of its size. In response to the ‘economic downturn’ Idaho Gov. Butch Otter traveled to China to drum up interest in Idaho. China has been quickly climbing the ladder of superpowers, surpassing Japan for the number two position in 2010 and has been consistently gobbling up U.S. debt. Sinomach, the third largest Chinese contractor, answered Gov. Otter’s invitation and is currently in negotiations to build a 30k acre technology zone s…

I have had several people ask about bumpers so here are some I did a few years ago.

Wifee cleaned off the Cirrus so I could get to the dentist... there's 3" in the driveway since she plowed with the ATV. (She's decided it's HER TOY, I tried to argue but it did no good!)So she's off & can not interfere, so I'll go brush the 18" off the CTD.
