Jeff .... I can feel your pain. Down the road over here in Columbus, the dealers are not any better. I was actually thinking of trying the Auburn dealership .... but maybe I'm better off going to Atlanta.

I also just moved this weekend with my Trac. Loaded up a Pace 5x10 trailer and went from AZ to GA. Towed the trailer really well.

Go to a couple of auto recycling yards that sell builders. Ask them for a couple of good shops that do mechanical work. They will give you some good info on good cheap work. $3k does sound kind of high. I'm surprised they didn't do the torque convertor for that price. Did they do a...

A few years ago in AZ there was some special incentives to purchase vehicles using alternative fuels. Unfortunately a number of fly-by-night conversion shops opened up. A bad conversion will really run up your mechanical bill in the long run. There was also a couple instances where the...

I'm attatching a link to an old urban legend posting on this various topic. It actually has the original e-mail that went around.

Craftsman .... traditionally were an excellant buy. I do have some concern since Kmart and Sears are one company now. Lowe's sells the Kobalt which are okay. Home Deport sells Husky and Ridgid brands. Home Depot stands behind their stuff and will do the same warrenty as Sears does...

The towing yard has to notify the last known owner. If after so many days the vehicle is not paid our of towing storage they can file a lien against it. Eventually after so many days they can legally take possession of the vehicle and title it in their name. They end up owning the vehicle...

I've actually had both the Ford ESP and the CNA plan. CNA is a major insurance company so you don't have to worry about it going under anytime soon. The big difference I've noticed between the CNA and ESP is the ESP was a little more expensive. I'm sure that the some of the dealers...

Crossfire also uses those run flat tires. The front and rear tires are different sizes. So if you have to order a new tire you have to order it for the specific location on the vehicle. This also means you can not rotate the tires. And you better hope you never get a sidewall blowout on...

Is this a Ford factory cover? If so you can get the lock kits from the dealer to change the "tumblers" or you can have a locksmith do it. I just installed a Ford cover which I ordered from the dealer. It was pretty easy to do the tumbler build. One thing you will need to do is get the...

Ditto on Spaceman's comment. Ford bases additional compensation to their dealers based on the survey results. It can mean the difference between get the standard PAC or up to a 5% PAC for the preferred dealers.

Have you looked at one of the new lightscribe DVD burners? You have to use a special DVD in it which is the downside. On the plus side, the burner actually burns the image on to the top of your DVD. Go to HP's website for more info.

Been looking at purchasing either a 5x10 or 5x8 trailer. Was wondering what brands others have purchases and how they like them. I've been focusing on an Interstate, Haulmark, or TNTtrailer. Thanks, Rich

Customize the interior (different seats) and make everything in leather including the door panels. Also beef up the suspension and love to drop in a V8 engine with a turbo charger.

I've had a Ranger & Explorer both with the Ford ESP. I never used the plan with the Ranger but I have gotten my money out of it with the Explorer. The key is to get a plan that has exactly what you want in it. A few of the ESP Plans are too expensive for what little they cover. The one...

LLC protection and requirements do vary from state to state also. Just remember that a lot of your suppliers will make you do a personal guarantee for any credit that is extended.

For all you wooters .... what is the favorite thing you ever got from woot (other then the BOC): Mine a tie ... ("worst woot ever") the famous wood/stainless steel pet diner which has solved so many dog food all over the floor problems :D the eclispse illuminated keyboard, which...

How many of those projectors do they have? Seems like an awful lot are coming out as refurbs. Only thing they have more of then the projectors is priority pucks. The BLOG is showing the Lemonader as the next item ... but it isn't up for sale .... hmmm....
