    Let me think for a second here. What would JDUB say under these circumstances.
    I'm sticking to, "they are yellow in Arlington."

    Where's the proof? My new best pal Truk has proven what I said.

    I half expect one of the dynamic duo to photoshop Truk's picture and make those jacks yellow.

    Gee thanks, Denny. I love getting thrown under the bus. 1-800-ACME

    But, back to the picture. Jon is right, "where is the proof."
    That looks like Stewart & Stevenson's shop, not Prevost Nashville.
    Prevost's techs wear a different uniform than the one in the picture and that guy is awake and up on his feet. Prevost techs, well use your imagination.

    Now answer the question.........what did lifting the tag accompish? the tag axle limits are not defined by the shocks like the front end, but by the lifting chain.

    Well this should add a bit of a spin on your recollection of truth!

    Jon, I know Dale didn't photo shop the Red Colors on the Jacks, because that is what Dallas uses, however, he did photo shop the coffee mug, cause it was originally a can of beer in his hand.

    Dale, look over your shoulder and you can see the yellow lifts of which I speak. OK, so they are a real light yellow but a shade of yellow none the less.
    I just called S & S and all their shops use lime green lifts. Apparently we have members who think they are at Prevost when in fact they have pulled into S & S. No way to tell from the invoice either as both will cause immediate heart failure.
    We need to get Hector in on this discussion. He has spent more time at Prevost in Arlington than all of POG combined. Did they ever get it right, Hector??

    Here we are at Prevost Car Quebec, they use 2 Hydraulic jacks at 4 jack points, not tires, always tell me to raise the tags when they are lifting the bus. Same setup in Jacksonville.
