Congratulations to your son and you! Our son signed up for the Navy while still in high school. The difference in him versus his other high school buddies is like night and day. He is in his fith year as a EOD diver. We are very proud of him and all of our men and women in the Military.

In Florida @ exit 328 ? on I 75 behind the Pespi distributor there is/was a cab over Pete with what looked like a 28 or 30 ft box on it. I stopped a couple of times to inquire but could not find out much in the short time I had to stop. Might not be a bad idea to "bedbug" with a long ST.

Too many factors affect this from engine size make, configuration TT or ST, terrain, mechanical or computer controlled engine? weather, driving habits. But given all of the above I would think 5.7 to 6 would be a good starting point. I have thought about buying an old cab over ( for unknown...

I change the oil in the trans and both rear diff's every January regardless of mileaqe. This is overdoing it but $100 bucks of oil and Lucas buys piece of mind for year. I use 25% lucas to oil.

I have driven a truck or two with this setup in the days before the electronicaly controlled engine. It was not an uncommon setup especially with oil field trucks and bull racks out west.You could run well over a 100 mph but your right arm got a work out shifting in the mountains. Finding...

In a previous truck ( 9400I International ) I removed the interior panels and insulated it with 1/2 inch aluminum backed rigid foam insulated sheets I used the 3M spray adhesive to apply to walls, all available at Home Depot. This reduced noise considerably, So much so I used 1 1/2 sheets and...

When I was leased to EGL (now CEVA) I did a lot of these out "A.O.G." runs for UPS in Louisville. Usually the second leg of these had me take the bad/out of sevice part to a certified repair facility, Then pick up a replacement and take it back to SDF for stock.

I have used Michelin XZE all around on a previous tractor before. Didn't notice a major increase in mpg but it rode better and was much quieter. Did not encounter any traction problems.

I quess you could tell I was in the " Truck" when I typed about "Truk"

Seat mounts are pretty much universal but the seat frame will have multiple holes to accomodate about anything.

I would like to suggest that any one with an interest in this DO IT!!. I have dived for 30 + years, and truly love it. Being assigned in various South East Asia countries for many years I have dived some truly remarkable and interesting sites. I want to dive Truck lagoon in the next five years...

I don't know the year of your 3126 but since you called it a 3126 and not a C7 it may be a pre-emission engine, but I've noticed the same slow heating on my detroit. The 02 would warm up like you said in 10 miles or so, The 08 is considerably longer. I think it is due to the increased cooling...

An auto shift is an automated manual transmission that shifts with air or hydraulic actuators.It is not a fully automatic unit such as an Allison or Aisin. Shift points are programmed into the ECM and transmission controler along with inputs from turbo boost and fuel flow. The Freightliner...

40 ft piece of trim for a tour bus from Louisville to Wilkes-Barre Pa. I was told the occupant of the tour bus would not travel in the bus as it was missing a chrome strip on the side. 1 1/2 inch wide and weighed about 20 lbs.

Try to find a semi trailer repair facility, I bought some localy ( Louisville ) at an APEX trailer repair facility. I just used metal screws with a recessed hex head that I got at home depot to attach.

Mine is the "Big Paddle" also. I don't hear the beeping all the time and this may be related to hearing loss. But a definate "clunking" is heard when key is switched off. As stated earlier I cannot find any consequences of the beep.

My 08 Columbia does the same thing, While getting some warranty work done on the DPF it did it and the tech said it was the "Smart Shift" system going through a check mode, I don't know if this correct but I cannot find warning lights or evidence of of a fault. Whatever it doesn't seam to affect...

Considering the age of the truck I would guess that a wire has ruubed the insulation off and is shorted out or against a hot wire. If this is the problem it could be expensive and time consumming to find. I would start with the dash light dimer control switch, unplug it and see what happens...

I had a rental truck a few weeks ago (KW T-800) and it had the same type mount so it is probably factory

Fith Wheel grease is high on solid particle count. And I think it would probably be very viscous in the winter. I just use normal chassis grease
