hey gang! open your rollup against the stops, vise grip it in place so you can see all of your tee wiring harness. alternately and only if you have a side door since you may be working alone on it, secure the rollup in closed, remove the panel adjustment bolt from each top roller, lay the top...

Hey Gang; I'm working on a Cat3126,lol. That wastegate actuator looks very damned replaceable to me. I'll be posting on what I find out from Caterpillar (Not Freightliner, hehehe!) about having to replace the whole damn turbo, cuz it's the next thing to be done. Its suffering from a case of...

Oh Weave....You had fun, huh? Without physically looking at your A/C compressor I'll take some shots at what may have caused the Sanden to fail. 1-lack of/or improper refrigerant oil. Might have lost crankshaft seal, usually indicated by a big oil stain behind the clutch asy & spread all over...

Several items come to mind that can cause the slack and pedal noise; First the throwout bearing & cross shaft or shift fork. The ears, pads on the fork or whatever you want to call them do wear quite a bit over time. Adjustment helps for a while...... The clutch brake wears out (it is the...

In agreement with x06 lets expand his explaination further. Method 1- Before you load your truck you should have an 'empty weight', meaning you, full tank(s) of fuel & a co-driver if you run with one. Load & go back to the same scale, get your 'loaded weight'. Method 2- Same as 1, but get an...

I got into trucking in 1977 after getting out of the military. There wasn't much else going on in the way of employment at the time, so I took a job changing oil, greasing & repairing tires for a small fleet. Then I got started driving north ends into Alberta, Canada as a relief driver for the...

HEHEHE....Tony? Do I hafta answer that?? :P Ok, I will anyway, I'm going for C! LMAO!

Poodlenme needs to clarify whether he was actually an independent contractor per an independent contractor agreement or if he was in fact an employee. Either way, the US DOT don't give a hoot about the employer/employee relationship. The state that he resides in would have the jurestiction...

Hey Frank, thanks again. I fubar'd that, the question should have read 'have you heard anything about states taxing a vehicle by the Gross Axle Weight Rating' (GWAR- The manufacturers maximum Gross Axle Weight Rating vs GVWR). Thanks!

Frank; Sory, I fubar'd the question. It should have read Gross Axle Weight Rating vs Gross Vehicle Weight Rating for licensing one ton pickups & up. Thanks again!

Frank; Do you know anything about states registering a unit going by the manufacturer's axle weight rating instead of gross weight? I was told this and I'm pretty confused about it. I do know with class 8 units, legal limits are 12,000 ft, 34,000 tandem axles rears tractor & trailer for a...

Weave,Big Scooter,Everyone; Any tme you are in a BIG shop, their ultimate motive is PROFIT, same as you and me. Simple but sad fact of life. Scooter; You need to get that unit in NOW, not later. PERIOD. Far as the unit making noise sooner? Due to tendencies of any system to transmit noise, it...
