    Voltage

    I drive a 2001 Freightliner, over 500,000 miles on it. The in-dash digital volt meter reads anywhere from 13.8 to 14.1 volts at any given time. There are not extra lights, etc to drain power.....basically a plain jane truck. Are these numbers about where they should be? Or is trouble brewing.

    Ditto to everything Chef said......... don't take this personal, it isn't intended as such, but why not call Brian or Scott, discuss your situation with them. I'm sure everything that could be done would be done to resolve your situation. As far as the 50% fsc, somewhere you got your wires...

    Tony and A.J. First, both are hot heads, everything has to be their way or they throw a fit. Second, Tony calls A.J. and askes if he minds if he uses the #14.....How nice. It's not A.J.'s decision who runs that number. The only one that makes that decision is NASCAR. Put in your...
