while this may be a new federal law for 2004 I have not heard of any changes that were planed and can not check as I do not have the 2004 book yet. It is very posiable it is a state law as states can make any laws they want as long as they are as strict as the federal standard. Both Ray and Truck have given you part of the standard but did not say how it applies and I do not blame them as DOT laws can be hard to understand. The part on tie downs is 40 pages long just by it self; so let me add this.
2003 federal standard says. 393.130a,b,c says that if a machine weighs over 10,000 lbs it must be tied down with at least 4 tiedowns and they must be affixed as close to front and rear as practicable.
It allso says if under 10,000 lbs you can use this rule or use 393.100 thru 393.114 or 393.128 100 thru 114 is the basic rules for material tie down and has a clause that says you must have 2 tie downs plus 1 more for every 10 feet. (11 ft = 3 tiedowns) 128 is the rule that most of us follow and covers autos and trucks under 10,000 lbs. It says; must be restrained at front and rear with minimum of 2 tiedowns. (thats 1 on front and 1 on rear) Hope this clears it up
Happy Mardi Gras

But it's important not to let that packaging lull you into a false sense of security. The appearance of matching sleeves, pistons, rings, and bearings can cause frustration and agony if not properly measured and installed in a workshop environment. Following c
