I had my transmission rebuilt at 100k and now just blew it again at 200k. Ford dealer and transmission shop both said that was not unusual for this engine tranny setup. Seems like I might be better off with the FORD 5.4 or CHEVY 5.7. My truck is the 250 and was told that the 350 has a different...

RE: Posts I've been a lurker also not feeling I had much positive to add to th e forum. I've been expediting for six months now and after the first three months I never thought I would be able to continue. One can only lose money for so long. But the last three have been getting much better...

Thanks for the info gentlemen. Turns out it was a camshaft sensor gone bad or working sporadically. A simple fix for Ford, fifteen minutes and $306 later and I was on my way. There goes last weeks check. Thanks again for trying. I have learned a lot from this forum, keep up the good posting...

My engine keeps stalling. If I wait a few minutes, it will start but only runs a couple minutes and stalls again. Runs fine when it is running, no signs of bad fuel, gelling etc. I use fuel additive regularly. I am currently dispatched with a Monday delivery. Help please.:(

Thanks for the responses. I have since talked to a couple of CTX drivers. They both claim to average $1200 a week before expenses, which is fuel, food ,tolls, maintenance and truck depreciation. This seems to vary with an average of $400 per/wk. Do these numbers sound about right? Loads vary...

Rainbow again. 58% of whatever the load pays. My truck is a p/u. Seems most guys are running vans. Recruiter says pickups are better because load is separated from driver. I thought I could learn my way around for awhile and move up to a d-unit later. I need to net at least $500 a week or my...

I'm considering signing on with CTX. They will take my 95 Ford f-250 Powerstroke. This is my first post, all responses appreciated. I've been reading this forum for a few days, very informative. Also sounds like a bad time to start a new career. Recruiter says they have plenty of freight paying...
