The water pump on our Pro Heat is bad and I am contemplating replacing it myself. Can anyone out there tell me where I might order one online and have it shipped to my home? I probably will not fix it until I am at my house. In the meantime, we certainly miss that little generator. I should...

Funny the things you can get accomplished on a slow day. Thought I would work on my signature. Testing....testing... testing..... :):)

In the expediting business we often get our days and nights mixed up .... but unless I am reading it incorrectly, the times given on the most recent posts on the forum indicate that they were posted this afternoon (today at 3:15 pm, for example) Right now, I am in the central time zone and it...

My wife and I run a D unit with 22 ft. reefer. The box is built by Supreme and is a 2000. The lights on top of the box on the passenger side all went out at the same time. I am thinking there is one common wire that supplies power there but do not know what route the wire takes. The box is...

We have all heard the old joke that goes something like this..."you can find me at the truck stop in one of the expediter trucks... the white one." Sure, sure I know there are LOTS of expediter trucks that are not white and we have all seen them, either on the road or in nice pictures. But you...

I think this subject has probably come up a few times before...There are a lot of things to like about expediting. Perhaps for you it is the freedom. Maybe it's that you get to see parts of our great country that you never would have otherwise. Or is it the excitement of finding out what you...

Can someone tell me where to buy air and fuel filters for my Pro-Heat generator other than just looking up Carrier dealers? Does anyone know the name of the place in Grand Rapids, MI that works on Pro-Heat? Thanks for the help..

I would appreciate a few thoughts from those of you with some experience that might be helpful with the following: My wife and I run team in a 2000 Freightliner Century. It has a Cat C-10 in it and we have been very faithful to maintain it carefully. It now has over 800,000 miles on it and...

My wife and I have a 2000 Century Class (bought it used) which has Eaton Fuller ten-speed auto-shift. The transmission and rear end in this truck have synthetic oil in them. When (or how often) does this oil need attention? Thanks for your help. :) :) :)

We have a 2000 Century Class with a lot of miles (over 600,000) on it. It has a small vibration in the front end. We have good steers, almost new shocks and centramatics. I am convinced we must have some wear on some of the front suspension parts. Where can I take it to find the exact...

Yesterday, Thursday, April 7 my wife and I made a pickup at Orangeburg, SC and headed north late in the afternoon. At approximately the 5 mile marker on I-77 north of Columbia, SC we caught a glimpse of a FECC D Unit being towed south. It had damage on the front and/or fire. Not really sure. As...

I would like to hear from some Landstar drivers who use the TAB card. How does it work and how do you like it? Do you direct deposit your pay into it? My wife and I would like to use Flying J but, of course, they do not take Comdata. What about fuel receipts for the company? Thanks for any...

In a couple of days we will be taking a little time off in Owensboro, KY. Does anyone know of a shop that works on Pro-Heat units anywhere close to that area? I think I have a bad injector ....Another thought. Do you think that most Kubota dealers could work on the engine? I know there is a...

Can someone tell me about power dolly legs? How do they work? Can you get a power unit to work on existing legs? If so, who makes such a unit, what does it cost, etc. Thanks for any info. Cliff :7 :7 :7

My wife and I run a Century Class D unit with the typical 70 inch double bunk sleeper. I am convinced there is much more room in this sleeper than is being used to best advantage. We have removed the lower cabinets to allow room for porta potty, refrigerator, VCR/DVD, Microwave, satellite...

My wife and I were sitting at a truck stop in El Paso (not a great spot for expediters) when we heard a loud SNAP and our 2000 Century Class dropped a bit to the driver's side. I really thought a tire had blown.. but all the tires were up. On closer observation I discovered that one of the...

Recently we had Direct TV installed in our house. I wanted to be able to use satellite TV in our truck when we are stuck somewhere so I got an extra dish and receiver to take on the truck.(Yes, they are registered with the company) I have never set up a dish on the road so I thought maybe...

I have a D unit with single axle which I plan to put a tag axle on in the near future. The truck now has all aluminum wheels and I want to use aluminum on the tag for appearance sake.:) :) In order to save money is it advisable to use steel wheels on the inner dual and aluminum on the outer...

My wife and I have a 2000 Century with 22 ft box, reefer, generator and lift gate. With all that weight we need to increase payload by adding a tag axle. Where do I start looking and who can do this for me? After adding a tag can I get rid of my dolly legs and use the tag to stabilize when I...

Would someone please define a couple of terms for me? They are "wet sleeve" and "parent-bore". Thanks for the help. :-)
