    Rotating tires

    Interesting discussion. Thanks for the input. I guess I should add that after looking at the service invoice, rotating tires was not on the list of things for the dealer to do. He spoke about it, along with a lot of other stuff, but probably said it was not necessary. Most people on this...

    CB Radio

    Crazy is not what I want to do. :) Unless that is predominate way truckers communicate. That's always my question. At a local store I went to the owner said there is no question that CB radio predominates. He just provides an IT service. So no conflict.

    CB Radio

    I have time to do the test. So, that doesn't bother me. In fact that might be cool. I'll have to look deeper onto it. How many truckers use ham radios? Is that the predominant way to communicate cate on the road?

    CB Radio

    I'm getting ready for a trip to California (2300 miles). Thought it would break up the monotony and possibly speed traps. So, my reasons are not essential. It's just a mod I thought would be good, especially if it's small and fits easily. In the cubby in the center or to the left of the...

    CB Radio

    Well, I've been trying to find a store in Asheville that sells CB radios. Nada. Even Best Buy makes you order them. I need somebody to install it. Yes, I know, many of the members here would have no problem. Not me.

    I found a Midland MXTA25 3db Gain Ghost Antenna on line. Just a little nub of a thing. https://mid.factoryoutletstore.com/cat/35483-796920/Antennas.html?cid=504433&chid=4272&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIqvGexcS36gIVzgiICR14qwE8EAQYAiABEgLAk_D_BwE In addition, I found a Midland Micromobile MXT105 (2...

    Rotating tires

    I went to the dealer yesterday, and they rotated the tires. I have some white paint on the right side tires. After the dealer was done, I still have the same tires on the right. Maybe they rotaed from to back. But I expected to have them rotated in a crossover pattern. Does anybody have...

    Instability

    I've got Kumho. Overall happy. But I find the truck "bumps" to the side when going over raised seam where the entrance concrete meets the highway blacktop. For what it's worth Consumer Reports rates them as the best economy tires. I wonder how many of their employees at CR own a truck...

    CB Radio

    Thanks for all the responses. I lack sophistication. So, here are my dumb questions. Do most truckers (or anybody) still use CB radios for on the road communication? If not, what do they use? Depending on these answers, what is your recommendation for a relatively low cost system with the...

    CB Radio

    Sweet. I just want to hear people talking on the road. Once I set it up, will I have to retune it? I'm thinking of placing the box under the seat or under the dash. What about the antenna? is there a short one I can use? I wonder how much distance and quality I would lose if I placed it in...

    So, I’m getting the feeling you’re not enthusiastic about the this. I did some looking. I forgot about the antenna. That’s a nonstarter.

    Opinions and Suggestions....... PLEASE.

    It seems that all the suggestions are for changes for the outside, Maybe I missed it, but here's what I would do. Change the interior. Get cloth seats in black. My favorite color to jazz the interior. Maybe Clazio (sp?) leather seat covers. Maybe those racing seats. Get WeatherTeck or...
