  1. Attached is the exact problem in all this. WARNING! Adult language and references. I have no way to edit those out. Jay https://youtu.be/cSLrbYsqZ4o
  2. The arm comes with the new nozzle attached. Between the new spray nozzle and the new spring hugging the wiper blade to the glass, it's a worthwhile investment that'll make you smile every time you use it. Just watch out for the occasional improperly manufactured arm. I went through every arm in the dealer's stock, but ended up using my Dremel to "adjust" it. Hopefully, they've corrected that since. Jay Edit.. My truck is a '99 Volvo. Don't know about other brands.
  3. Just replace the arm to get a new spray nozzle. They're inexpensive and the springs don't last all that long anyway. Jay
  4. I ran into the same thing.. kinda.. I added a device onto my phone account through my app about year and they deleted my Mobley account. I sat at the AT&T store for 4 hours while the young lady struggled with it. She placed multiple calls dealing with it and eventually was successful at restoring my Mobley plan back to me. A bit of a pain, but well worth it. Jay
  5. Precisely that ^^^^^^^. Possibly due to media stories as depicted in the video I referenced. Jay
  6. Not a valid conclusion. If you shop for commercial paper, such as the 24" rolls, it's not available either. I've checked multiple times. However, the supply line issues inherent in commercial vs. residential are real, so a couple valid points. Jay
  7. Exactly.... Everything I've seen commercially that resembles toilet paper is out of stock. Jay
  8. I think my exact words were "definitely what I've observed," but it's just an opinion based on observation. Jay
  9. I dare say every single one of those travelers will tell you they're staying at home when they're at their second home, which is not really a problem if they don't go out in public at either home. Jay
  10. Perhaps another perspective.. Certainly makes sense to me. The article quoted suggests a 40% increase in home usage, but the hoarding seems more like a 400% increase. Jay
  11. Perhaps because he has a DRV Memphis? That's a DRV model. Jay
  12. I pull a step deck and actually do haul mostly vehicles. Occasionally there are some cars, but mostly they're larger vehicles, like ambulances, school buses, utility trucks, etc. My trailer was custom built for the specialized loads I move. I still occasionally do pipe, insulation, Jacuzzis or other random freight, but vehicles are easier on my old worn-out body. Jay
  13. It's not really a plan, it's the story of my life for many years. Jay
  14. Randyretired, those are all great points, but I refer back to "it depends." Unfortunately, I live in the great state of Florida, where a recreational fifth wheel hitch is frowned upon. If I lived in a state like Colorado where it's much easier to do a private license plate of some kind, that would be great. So, it does depend on your location to some extent. I like making a little extra cash, plus paying for repairs, upgrades and fuel with pre-tax dollars makes me happy as well. Plus, I'm leased to a company that makes this easy to do. Jay
  15. I guess the same old saw applies here.. "it depends." That's exactly what I'm doing and have been for some years. If we weren't in this unusual circumstance, this would've been my last full season (spring through fall) and I had planned to transition to a few weeks in the spring and a few weeks in the fall. We'd spend the rest of the year enjoying retirement. I don't need more than a couple months a year to pay the overhead on my truck and trailer. Jay
  16. You could always upgrade the HDD to an SSD, which is what I did. I doubled capacity to a terabyte and I now have what feels like a new computer with startup times cut by about 90% and much faster page loading, etc. I'm MUCH happier with my computer and am no longer snooping around for new laptop deals. Jay
  17. I'm not of the opinion that the campground owner should absorb all the losses associated with this crisis. I imagine many of them are dealing with wholesale cancellations and struggling just to survive. After all, they're people too. I was happy to pay a fee to cancel a campground in all this and pleased to not owe the entire amount, which is actually their policy normally. Jay
  18. I can't see where that's in any way relevant. Whenever I show my driver's license it's just for identification and almost always out of state. The (usually) young employee checking it does no more than glance at it, and I can't imagine why they would bother to care.. As long as they get their paycheck. Jay
  19. Actually, when it's reached this point you need a fine abrasive to cut through it. The Mr. Clean Magic Eraser is a very fine abrasive. Lubricate with a good window and glass cleaner and it'll cut through most films. I use it regularly to detail our cars. Generic erasers are just as good. Jay
  20. There is currently a MAJOR construction project in downtown Birmingham which may cause significant delays. Plan accordingly, but I can't think of any other reasonable way to go around. Jay

    Driveline slop?

    Of course, every truck had different wear points, but often in my experience, the slop is caused by worn out springs in the clutch plate. They are designed to soften the clutch engagement and protect the driveline. If they're dead, the engagement is pretty harsh. Jay
