Owned both can't tell much difference, will buy either one depending on the deal. I buy used 53 footers with 8 to 12 K hours on the unit. usually run them into the low 20's hours, then trade. Whatever you get, make sure you get the manuals with the code's in them. California now requires...

Came from Evansville IN. across I-64 to mile marker 55 on I-71 ( loves) heavy rain and wet roads . CB chatter is that it gets icy above the 30 MM on I 75 in Ohio. headed for Dayton but cannot deleiver until 09:00 tomorrow. will wait for daylight.

Has it been rebuilt? My first thoughts if not, is a pitted/cracked liner

A Gold Bulldog means the truck is 100% Mack, engine, trans and rears. silver dog can be pretty much any combo.

I would go used, for the same $$$ you can add underbelly storage and all of your material handling / securement needs

Leo Please post your findings, I need a set but want to make sure I get them

To verify a previous posters comments, I have a good friend which recently won a judgement against CAT and they were court ordered to buy back 20 ea 2008 year model trucks with the infamous ACERT Twin Turbo C-15, These trucks all under warranty and 400K miles had problems ranging from the...

I have an e-trade account and it is easy to use,Can buy penny stocks. Bought Ford @ 1.87 closed yesterday at $12.94. Wife even bought a new Ford last month while I was the road, Our first vehicle from the Big 3(?), in over a decade. I see why the stock is up.

Found this @ JJ Keller "Noting that tiedown failure caused by trailers rubbing against fixed objects is “extremely rare,” the FMCSA decided in 2005 that removing the rub-rail rule would not detract from highway safety and would make enforcement more consistent. Despite objections from...

"Cat now is officially equal to Obama in reputation from my pov. " As much as I detest yellow engines am not sure if they are this bad

I second the W.W.Williams, have not used the shop in New Boston but have used their other locations for both truck and reefer. Cost depends on what you have done but a complete inframe usually runs around 14K

I have had both the ISX and the DD60's. both performed very well and fuel mileage was above 6.4 on both engines at all times. What ever you buy make sure it is pre 07 engine the new emissions that took effect on 08 engines have affected reliability and fuel mileage. I would not buy a Cat for a...

had similiar problem as Phil's picture, cost $1451 for a new tire (virgin) and a wheel. Michelin say they will adjust the price ( probably up). The tire repairman says the tire's are " de-laminating". I don't know if this is true but next truck will have conventional dual setup. I have had no...

FYI, I have about 80K on a set of Michelin One retreads.(tandem axle tractor and running heavy most of time) so far no problem and about 1/2 the cost

I have had to replace the injector wiring harness on two different Detroits series 60 and both times the parts and labor were in the $600 range. I think they ripped you off.

I did a quick internet search and found rebuilt pumps for $1295. However in my opinion the pump being bad is questionable, since you have said it is not throwing codes. take to an independent diesel injection service place get them to look at it.

Not sure on the warranty on the lighter rear ends, but If you are under warranty get it checked out ASAP by a dealer so there is record of problems/concerns. The 40 k rears are warranted to 500k miles yours may be the same.

As previously stated you have a lot more patience than I do. Have you may considered having an attorney check out the lease agreement and see if you can swap this unit for a similiar unit, You obviously have a record of lost time and money, Get CEVA to write you a letter saying you cannot be...

I would think it would be cheaper to repair the auto shift unit. Some transmissions will not accept a shift tower ( gear stick ). As previous poster states it is usually the pneuamatic actuator that causes the problem,Call around truck salvage places and see if they have a used unit that can...

I have a Webasto unit and it works very good until it's get below zero. regardless of what type of fuel fired unit you have you need to let it fire up and get good and hot at least once a month. This seams to be the fix to keep the ignitors from coroding/gumming over.
