Just looking at the mirrors and noticed that while the main mirrors are heated, the spot mirrors under them are not. I was thinking of getting larger 8" spot mirrors and moving the smaller spot mirrors to the top since its nearly impossible to see the upper part of the box. If I were to add...

There's a lesson there (isn't there always? :) ) in that just looking at a fuse is NOT always proof that it is good or bad. An easy way to check them, and you don't even need to remove then is use a 12V test light to probe each end of the fuse - if it lights up on both sides its good, if not...

That seems a bit odd say the least. :)

I'd like to see a picture of that. Please :)

I was thinking that too and will leave it at this strictly for "educational purposes" on what a bunch of 60+ year old men can accomplish after nearly 40 years. :) YouTube - American Woman/ The Guess Who

I thought not, looked at the 5 ton and it has what appears to be a small hole (or maybe not) - it looks MUCH bigger in the photo due to the reflection off that polished stainless, its no more than a hlaf inch but still didn't look right. So I should put some expanding foam and caulk in there...

LOL, you are under 30 aren't you? And definitely NOT Canadian. PS - it wasn't "The Who" but you are close. :)

How about "The Guess Who".............wanna get into how they got that name? :)

If you think truck repair prices are high you should see Jet repair prices. In my VERY brief stink as an AC tech I was helping (among other things) replace the split windscreen on a Learjet. Normal cost of replacement including parts at the time was $300,000, this shop did them much cheaper...

Ya but I'm guessing Cat MSRP has something to do with it as does what dealership brand is getting the part. Apparently the same part for say, a Cat engine costs more from KW than from International.

I don't know but it should be "THE Who" :)

$425 for o-rings? What makes them cost so much................the Cat logo on the bag? :)

Makes sense, out of curiosity what would that job have cost on its own? (without the mistake) If there's no glow plugs, how does a cold engine get started? - spark plugs or ?

Just installing some plywood and e-track and noticed the front corners have a 6-7" section (betwen the yellow lines) that is left open - you can see daylight, there is about a 1/2" gap. Is this normal or should I seal it up?

So did you ever get the "correct" procedure? Seems like cranking over a bit with the glow plugs removed with take care of it - yes?

That is good info and sounds about right, so I think for now I will set it up at 1600 to 2100. I know the 6 speed I have is about 2000 @62 which I think is a tad high, it runs smoother at 1900 yet for the most part falls on its face much at or slightly below 1500 unless the ground is flat and...

MIleage should be fine, I'd have to look up the RE ratio but in 10th it turns about 1700 @ 62mph. Coming out of a 6 speed truck( also a 3126) I'm looking to get the basic parameters with a non syncho box to set up the gearmaster - the 6 speed is easy, just pick where you want. I'm sure I'd...

Good idea, don't know why I didn't think of that. Can you give me any hints as to the sweet spot or rpm range it likes to be shifted at? So far it seems to like upshifts somewhere around 2000-2200 but I'm only managed one downshift (by guess and by golly) so I really don't know where the lower...

forgot to add this is a 2003 model, T300 w/10spd fuller also, what his the low and high end of the sweet spot for this combo?

Is there somewhere I can find general specs (seems to be very little on cat's site) and/or does anyone know if all 3126 models have the same max governed rpm? Just setting up a Gearmaster and I'm not sure if they are all set for 2400. I know some say waste of money but having never driven a 10...
