    best route towing from LAX to DFW, I-10 or I-40?

    Planning on a road trip from LA to just west of Ft Worth next month, towing a 15k 5th wheel. I believe the I-10 to I-20 is the most direct and flattest route. But I'm tempted to go I-40 to 84 and I-20 instead. The Northern route should be more scenic, but more hills to climb and about 30 miles...

    Can it be that my ISP is reading my emails?

    Yesterday I exchanged emails with a friend and we talked about piston rings for a motorcycle engine project. Today I received junk mail from Mahle piston rings. I have not searched for piston rings in years, and I clear my browsing data & cookies frequently. I realize that it is legal for an...

    new subforum suggestion

    Would it be worthwhile to start a new subforum where we could discuss routine maintenance procedures? I realise that maintenance procedures are already posted within all forums, and a search will usually find the info. Just thinking that focussing that info in a dedicated forum would make this...

    Anyone else using OBDLink App to monitor DPF regens and EGTs?

    I've been using an OBDLink LX and their APP to keep track of when and how often the truck goes into Regen mode. As we all know, starting in 2019 the EVIC will display a DPF Regen but it doesn't really tell you when it is about to start a cycle. Attached are some photos of how I configured the...

    Skunk living under my house

    We have a Skunk or maybe more than one under our house. I found that the metal screen covering the outside entry point was damaged and I saw one going in there. I've never had to deal with a Skunk, I could set a trap and catch it but then how to I take it away without getting sprayed? I don't...

    I'm looking for a std 275/70r18 tire that will do everything, mostly hwy but also the occasional light snow and ice conditions. Must be tuff enough for a 3500 hauling a good size 5th wheel.

    Anyone have a cure for a numb bum on long drives?

    As I get older, I am no longer able to comfortably sit and drive for long periods of time without discomfort on my bottom and thighs. It happens when I drive for three or four hours or more, or when I sit on an airplane for a couple of hours. Not sure but I think the sciatic nerve may have...
