At least you don't have to worry about health insurance! I would call the human resources dept of companies you might be interested in and see what they require. Never know what you could find with a Google search.

I have about 40k on my '07 with the original Michelins. They are just starting to show signs of wear. They're the longest wearing tires I've ever had, but thank God for 4WD in the winter. Definitely a hard compound and ride to go with it. If your tires are wearing too fast, get the front end...

Valvoline Premium Blue Classic was available last I knew. You can get it at Cummins distributors or NAPA. Local diesel heads made enough requests at our neighborhood NAPA that they now have it in stock. It only comes in 5 gal pails, so I just picked up a hand pump at Northern Tool - the one that...

Does the truck have battery warmers installed as part of the OEM winter front kit? May be a malfunctioning heating element or short. Cummins has a free tech line listed on their web site.

My '07 has just under 40k and the water pumping is leaking. It'll be fixed under warranty tomorrow. I wouldn't carry an extra pump along. When they start leaking it usually isn't an emergency. Bringing along a jug of the recommended antifreeze/coolant wouldn't be a bad idea. The boonie box is a...

RIM would be very happy if you bought a Blackberry. They need a killer product desperately. Nearly all of Fortune 500 Co. 's are dumping them for iphones and ipads. I would be very surprised if RIM is in business in two years.

The OEM Michelins on my '07 are great tires when the weather is warm. Just about worthless for traction on snow and ice without 4WD. They do get hard when cold. If I lived in a warm climate, I would not own anything else. With 40,000 mi. on them, there's little sign of wear. Tirerack.com is an...

Former Apple board member and now Google CEO, Eric Schmidt essentially stole everything he could get his hands at Apple. Android is basically an iphone knockoff. I like supporting American innovators, not those that steal others intellectual property. I will never buy an Android phone. Now that...

Check out Edmunds.com or Autotrader.com for comparable vehicles in your area.

Now that's what I call a bad case of indigestion. What's left of the trans. and drive train?

Have you seen the TruckMaster Fuel Finder web site? It's geared for over the road truckers, but it's a great free site if all you need is truck stop locations. Some fuel prices are listed. It covers the US and at least most of Canada. It's great for planing your next fuel stop. If I'm going to...

What ever you want to call it, I lube mine at every oil change as prescribed by the service manual. Dodge wouldn't have wasted their time and expense putting it there for no reason. I too had a dealer mechanic and a service writer tell me there was no way to lube the things. They must make good...

Yep, think I'll stick with the QC, and it fits in the garage.

The Isspros match the stock gauges nicely. I also went with the SRT pillar mount with the grab handle - it's a Dodge part and matches and fits perfectly. I went with the dash top mount as suggested in the TDR Buyers Guide. I told the guys at Genos what gauges I needed and they picked out the...

Good price. Thanks. It's the CJ4 version. I've only been able to find the Premium Blue Classic at NAPA and my nearest Cummins distributor.
