Yea that is the post. I will let everybody know how things turn out.

Has any one had any experence with the Co-Pilot Laptop GPS system. I just purchased it and like it but am wondering if there is a better truck system out there?

I have a recon Cummins ISC. It is a 1999 and I have no payments to make on it but kind of figure that a new truck has less upkeep but an older truck has more upkeep. I kind of figure it is a trade off. I have thought that $.50 per mile is about right. Maybe even a little on the high side. If...

Could you share with me what that figure happens to be?

Has any one figured the true operating cost of a class 7 truck? The cost should include insurance deperation etc.

Thank's guys for the support and advice. As I may have said before I work woodworking trade shows and our season is over the first week of May. I will wait until then to get an attorney. I will have more time then to dedicate to this situation. This will also give WTAE TV in Pittsburgh, The...

Just to give everybody an up date. I picked up my truck from Cummins Bridgeway of Pittsburgh and brought the rentral truck back to Penske. The people at Cummins Bridgeway were great to deal with. They took about 15 photo's of the engine showing the oil leaking out of the pipes and the air...

I have a 1999 Freightliner FL70 with a 4:10 rear. I am going Friday to pick it up after having a recon 240hp cummins engine has been installed. When I get out to the west coast where the speed limit is 75 I know in the past that at 2,400 rpm I could only do about 73 mph. I was thinking about...

Raceman Let me know what you find out. I am looking to do the same thing to my truck. I want to make the all white truck and box look a little better. I live in Middletown OH. Dale

Does any one know where you can find how much a truck is worth? Tried a google search but did not turn up anything. Thanks Dale

There seems to be alot of confusion out there on the under 26,000 GVW with air brakes. I used to drive a 1996 FL60 and it had air brakes. Some other guys who do the same trade shows as I do ran into some problems. They finally turned in there rental trucks to non air brake trucks after...

Cummins Bridgeway informed me that the engine did blow due to oil in the aftercooler. The engine reved to 3,470rpm befor it went south. It has so much damage that they suggested a drop in moter. They priced it to me at $10,000 and a little over $4,800 to install it. I will be talking to them...

Just to let everybody know what is going on. I had the truck towed to Cummins Bridgeway in Pittsburgh PA yesterday. The Bluebird Bus place wanted there $1,374.00 before I could have the truck towed so I gave them a credit card number. I talked to Cummins on the phone and they told me that...

Thanks everyone for your comments. This has helped alot. I am going to get an attorney on Tuesday. If anyone knows of a good one let me know. The truck is in the Pittsburgh PA area and I love inbetween Dayton and Cincinnati OH. Keep the comments comming. Thanks again for all your help and...

Thanks Davekc. I will keep everybody informed of what happens and what i find out. Dale

Thanks for your help Big Scooter. My truck is at Blue Bird Bus Sales of Pittsburgh. They service mainly busses but it was the closest place to take it and they are dealers and service Cummins and Cat engines. The place is in Valencia PA which is out side of Pittsburgh. Thanks for all your...

I have a 1999 FL70 with an ISC 215 hp engine. The turbo went out a couple of days ago. I drove it about 15 miles to a cummins dealer that deals with mainly Blue Bird Busses. They replaced the turbo and changed the oil just in case things got sucked up the intake. As they were taking a test...

I guess nobody knows much about that brand. What does everyone prefer in a front shock brand? Got the cab shock replaced and that made a big difference so I really think the front shocks will even do better. Thanks and Happy New Year Everbody. Dale

Can anyone tell me if the Bilstein BE5-2960 HD shock is a good one to use or not. The only info I can find on the internet is for a FL70 Moterhome listing. I tried to call Bilstein but they are not in until Jan. 3 and I wanted to get them changed before then. Just got the truck dug back out...

Thanks for the input. I have a 2 week break for Christmas so i will have them changed then. I'll let you know what difference it made. Thanks and hope you all had a great Turkey Day. Dale
