I'd like to see you start grading his posts. Hee hee!

Yep! And I take it out of "overdrive" but if it is still shifting up and down I'll drop it down a gear. Thanks.

Testing edit, okay, edit worked. Now where is the delete button. I may save something I really shouldn't save and would like to delete it. Oh, and now you let everyone know I edited it. I may have wanted to keep that to myself. Sheesh!

Doc, If the grade is consistent and not up and down I use the throttle method, but as you said if the speed and grade are changing it is better to downshift. In my last life I had a Cummins 340 and towing a LIncoln MKX it didn't like the grades to much. Don't remember the specific grade going out west but on one of them I was in 2nd and 20 mph. In my present life it is a Cummins 450. Haven't been on any real steep ones but on the rolling hills it doesn't even hiccup.

You really think I'm supposed to trust Herman!! Carl, glad it worked out. Now just stop ogling the ladies. At least, don't let Linda catch you.

Still no edit.

I learned long ago that if you see the grade coming, press on the accelerator until you are matching the cruise control speed then take it off of cruise control and never, I say never, move your foot. As you climb the grade you will slow down and you transmission will do what it is supposed to do and down shift keeping the rpm's around 2000 or a little higher and keeping the temperature down. Hey, works for me.

It merged my reply.

Exactly how NC QuickPass/EZPass works and only $7.50 for transponder.

I didn't know what to do with myself for the first hour after I got up. Frustrating!

Carl, how did the second cataract surgery go??

My coach, the jacks go down, level, then slides out. Revers is slides in, jacks up. However I could do it either way as they are independent of each other. It's just better to have the coach level as to not catiwampus the slide.

Glad it's back. I miss all my friends that live in here.

Only for diesel and I think only in truck lanes.

I think closing the slides is the better option. We always do. I don't understand why putting the jacks up is a necessity, could someone explain.?

Oh wow! All my friends are running around in my little computer again. Great!

Herman, done it with our two cars. First is to wash it to get it clean. Then apply Ceramic and spread with microfiber cloth over entire vehicle. That establishes the base coat. Here is the Meguiar's video Since they put it out I would go by their recommendations. p.s., Tell DW to just do what the physical therapists say to do when she is doing PT. The mind wants to say, "If I do more I'll heal faster," and that is ot the case. Doing more can cause more injury. If they say 10 repetitions, do 10, not 11 or 20. I have had both ACL's reconstructed and both knees replaced. PT for all of them is the same. Left knee was replaced this last January 21st.

Just re-read this thread and I have to disagree with you Brett. It was a Proctologist and he installed it by going up the muffler.

I'll stick with NC Quick Pass/EZPass - no monthly that I know of until no use after 1 year. I just looked at my statement and it is the same as it was back in Sept 2019. No brainer for me. After 1 year of no use I believe it is $1 a month.

Carl, got mine (NC Quick Pass E-ZPass) from North Carolina for $7.50. They sent the transponder and window sticker - called them and they said don't use the window sticker just move the transponder from one vehicle to the other. Both vehicles need to be registered on their system. They populated the credit card with $40 and the next month because of high usage the populated with $75.

Joe, where's the grass for the puppy?

I'm only 43' so just a little hang-over-the-water.

Picture of the site please.

Earlene had one eye done last fall. Said it was great. Good luck and follow the doctor's orders - I know you follow Linda's orders.

That would make him more tolerable for sure, for sure!😀
