By the way, I went through the weigh station there at truckee tahoe. Does anyone know if that's a rolling scale or do you have to stop on the scale? I didn't see any signs, so I proceeded at 5mph over the scale, but now I'm wondering lol.

Got the green light at that scale but had to roll over the one in Sacramento this morning. They have a sign that says 3 mph, so idling across in 3rd gear works. That's generally what I do unless there's some clear instruction to stop.

Also, how is it that I can be in a major city and only have 1 bar of cell signal, but be in the middle of nowhere in Nevada and have almost a full signal?? Lol

I run my Jake anyways haha. It's muffled so no big deal. All the signs in Oregon and colorado say engine brake mufflers required. Speaking of scales, I blew past the one on the grape vine on i5 north... thankfully I wasn't chased down the road haha.

Probably because you have T Mobile? Probably the worse cell service I've ever encountered in my life. Great in huge metropolitan areas, pretty much sucks elsewhere. I use Straight Talk on the AT&T towers. Rarely without a phone signal. Data is another story in the boondocks!

Nope, AT&T. And it's the opposite, seems I have better service in the boondocks than I do in the cities lol.

Wow, I'm on AT&T and rarely have any problem with service. Depends on location I guess. For $55.00 per month and 10 Gigs of data, im very happy!
