FTN 2021 Crazy Idea Time
Suppose one were to have onboard air (OBA), could one replaced the fender mounted electric vacuum pump with a venturi effect vacuum generator? The original electrical supply to the electric pump could be used to control a solenoid valve that supplies compressed air to the vacuum generator. The sound the vacuum generator will make every time vacuum is called for will be akin to a very loud and random blow off valve. Uber kewl, yes?

I was just kidding about the blowoff valve sound. I'd rather it sound like an air brake vent. That should confuse the crap out of people.

I clearly remember you saying...no more money being spent. Yet, it appears you are having problems admitting to your PMS addictions.

- Obeying the speed limit and falling asleep at the wheel.
- Getting so many tickets I don't make it to GA.

I cannot help you with the tickets, but if you plan to carry, make sure you are within the law of the land during your travels. I have a small map that I keep in my glove compartment of each vehicle we own that we travel with. That way I can know easily and quickly which states I have reciprocity in, which are most of them, thankfully.

Set the cruise control and let the truck do it's thing. Listen to podcasts or an audio book from YouTube, I tend to do that when I drive long distance.

I'm not planning to carry through that many states but I'm wondering if I should install a rack in the rear window to fit in once I get to the South.
