  1. I most certainly would be interested if I were closer. Does it come with all the slide hardware or is it just the drawer? Probably need to add or subtract that to your message. Good luck.

  2. Early day today, can't miss my NASCAR race. I am in Truth or Consequences NM.
  3. I chose to modify my "BTTB is Fixed" thread rather than going into details here on "On the Road" section. Anyway, I'm 30 miles east of Albuquerque and BTTB roared as advertised all the way. Have to stop in Cochiti Lake to pick up my slider tray in the morning then heading for Tucson. ETA for Tucson is tomorrow evening or Sunday morning depending how tired I get.
  4. Elk City, OK today. BTTB likes 70mph just fine but the fuel tank doesn't. Lol. Still having air problems. Goes from 125 to below 100 in 15 min and needs 1200 rpm to start building pressure back up. Did FL rip me off?
  5. In N. Little Rock. Truck thought visiting the local FL shop would be nice. It developed a big air leak and would not build air yesterday morning. GS ERS came through and had it towed to the shop. I'm in a nearby motel.
  6. Currently camped out in the Pilot truck parking area about 80 miles east of Memphis enroute to Tucson, getting ready to enjoy my new mattress in my sleeper. AC is on and watching TV. Life just sucks.
  7. Guess now that I'm officially a member of the "dark side" I can post here too. I'm in Pickens SC and heading ???? on Sat or Sun.
  8. Anyone coming through Tucson, let me know. I LOVE to check out HDTs so I can see what is what for when I'm finally ready to start shopping.
  9. The freightliners are not as nice, but with accessfreightliner and some tools a nine year old can fix them! Parts are as cheap as pickup truck parts. Volvo owners will have to see their shop most times, Freightliner owners 1/4 of that. Because you can fix them yourself! Mercedes engines are not as reliable as the series 60 and parts are expensive! My two cents! Curt

  10. Brian,

    Did this off topic as to not upset the "V" brand owners. The Volvo is the quietest, smoothest truck out there! But it comes with more than it's share of problems, electrical is the one most common! You should have a nice "truck fund" for parts and maintenance for them!They have many Volvo specific parts that will cost you a small fortune to repair or replace.

  11. My definition of windy is when my 5ver starts rocking. With a big-foot system and six tires on the ground, that ain't easy. Did happen a few times when I was stuck in TX in Nov for more than a month.
  12. I suggest two options regarding weather. 1. Go there yourself and make your own determination whether the weather is nice for your or not. 2. Check out the place online on The Weather Channel's web site. The reason I say this is because what may be "wind" to one person is just a breeze to someone else. There are places in AZ you'll be thankful for having a wind too. JMHO
  13. I searched this thread back to last fall. Anyone near Tucson?
  14. Brian,

    Question? How were you able to buy a $40k pickup, but can't get a 20-30k loan for a hdt? It seems you must of had the credit for that amount to borrow for the pickup.

  15. Handsome kitty, Brian.
