Bug Screen I bought some of this black "Petscreen" at HD today and installed it as above in 5 minutes. They claim it is 7x the strength of standard insect screen. Seems like a very good solution. Thanks. Buy a Phifer 48 In. X 84 In. Black Pet Screen - 3004153 at The Home Depot

Thanks for the welcome, SNGLESHOT. On the exhaust brake: I do keep it on all the time, but will be mindful when driving in slippery conditions. It's effectively like having rear-only brakes, and I can see that in frosty / snowy conditions the truck will go into a tailspin. I have lived in the...

Thank you. I have indeed read the manual and the diesel supplement. Twice. I will probably go over at least the diesel supplement once again. I agree that the engineers know what they are doing and why they do it, and have no intention of second guessing them. One addition I am...

Agreed. Knowledge is power.

Thank you for the welcome. I agree that the collective wisdom of a knowledgeable group can outweigh virtually any individual. While I am searching the forums, reading the magazines, and generally working to absorb as much as I can as quickly as I can, I would certainly appreciate hearing...
