I have driven a Century Class,T600 and IH 9400I the Century class had the longest wheelbase by 7 inches and turned the tightest by far!!. The KW and IH both have 231 inch WB.

I have used this exact load bar. Have had problems with the bumper jack style tightening system. The old round style available is less expensive and works better for me. I pull a refer (no E track)and found that the large butterfly style bars work the best as it distributes the load...

As stated before you are better off buying a used reefer box. all aspects of the box need to be rebuilt or exchanged. for instance: aa: Certain commodoties require an aluminum floor(not usualy found in a dry box}that can be sanitized before and after certain loads. walls need to be Kemlite...

I have a 9400I tractor, I've found it to be a good truck, it does not ride as smooth as the Century class did but it is much more user friendly when you do a lot of your own maintenace. It is set up so you can replace specific items and not complete assemblies. I would not hesitate to purchase...

This thread is very interesting and way above my level of computing. All want to do is to use a computer while shut down to input data,e-mail and to look on the load boards. Not leased to anybody that requires daily verification or positioning, so unit would be turned off while moving not...

I agree that is a sharp looking unit. Does anyone know where to get truck graphics of the quality displayed on this truck.

I'm with EGL also (tractor/trailer), from what I've seen and heard the buyout can't hurt. The station I am domiciled out of is so poorly run I get 75% of my freight from another station. I have spoken to the guys pulling the TNT trailers and they are all contractors. I believe they are run very...

How many miles on the M-11?, does it only pressure up after running a while?. You may have a head gasket getting weak.

This is very unscientific, but my Detroit Series 60 appears to use less fuel at 1000 RPM. It also does not puke out a load of blue smoke upon throtling up and the A/C is much colder. Just my observations.

Did you get an discount on your insurance? sounds like a very good system.

The HT530 is a larger version of the DT466, Same block, bigger bore and stroke, The HT is for High Torque probably in the 900 to 1100 ft/lbs range, 530 is the cubic inch displacement. A lot of the overnite freight haulers use these with a single axle Navistar tractors pulling doubles, as stated...

EGL did or maybe still does this in select area's for select customers. You think some shipper's are rude and keep you waiting, try a rail yard. They make lumpers look respectful. I refused to do it largely based on the condition of the chassis.

RE: truck seats for 2001 Freightliner Century clas Most seats and truck cabs use a standard footprint for the seat mount,as they offer different seat manufactures as options from the factory. (IH/Navistar is an exception for passenger side seats). If you are close to a truck show such as MATS...

Just make sure the tire(s) are the same height, measure them with a tape! A too tall or short tire will carry or transfer all the load.

Had same problem! Picked up a small bottle of Dawn Dishwashing detergent at the Dollar Store, Put a few drops on the scrubber side of the window washer thingy and it works very well.Gets rid of all the road film and bugs, Have had same $1.00 bottle for at least 6 months and it takes up minimal...

Word is that DHL is buying Old Dominion. Old Dominion driver confirmed that they have been told they are up for sale and in talks with unamed buyer.

Most of these trucks have a sealed front wheel bearing, No lube, no adjustment. As said above check if you have play in the wheel with no weight on it it may be the hub and or the king pins.Grease the King pins well and try to move them. If the movement remains the same it is probably the hub...
