Oversize dots are not recommended and may decrease truck performance and reliability.

Dots should be serviced at regular intervals, at the very least inspected every time you fuel your vehicle and cleaned as needed.

Your dots may vary.

So these are the dreaded Dots that the "big trucks" on the CB are always worried about. They even pull off the interstate and have the Dots weighed and sometimes inspected.

No no no, these are SuperDuty Dots. Much more powerful than your common interstate dots.They have powers far beyond those of common dots. Look for a comic book and action figure SuperDuty Dots to come out by next Christmas.

Superduty dots? Nissan invented them, when the company was named Dotson.

I actually like those dots too. I would rather have them than have plain glass right up to the edge.

I even have the dots around the mirror on my Focus. Actually, they are more like very tiny squares.
