    Well, guys the sarter was shot. I gave it the hammer tap test and it turned right over. I made a few calls and Carrier wanted $365.00 dollars for one.

    "Like A Rollin' Stone".....

    Pro-Heat/Carrier NEW Refridegerant

    Turning the IDLE DOWN was not such a good idea after all as it did lower the voltage from the generator. So I cranked the idle back up. I figured that is is such a bad design maybe they got the iddle wrong too but I guess thats the one thing they got right. I also added an Oil Bypass...

    350k miles Blown Head Gasket

    Thanks for the Coolant info. The dealer pulled my ECM and said the highest temp recorded was 222 degrees which is hot but not an overheat. As for the coolant It was changed at about 150k, so maybe it was too old. The dealer is sending the head out to a third party testing facility to see if...

    Close to the end of the Great Recession - Only the Shadow knows

    I don't think things are really improving. I do think the government has reasons to want us to think things are improving so they squew the economic recovery numbers. This is not my opinion by the way, in the 70,s when the american people got wise to government spending they just changed the...

    350k miles Blown Head Gasket

    I had a head gasket failure on my truck, its at the dealer now. They pulled the ecm and the truck has never over-temped. So I'm a little puzzled. A factory defect should have shown up long before now I think. The truck is a Hino, the mechanic tells me he rarely sees this failure with a hino...

    New VRU vrs Clink theory

    It occurred to me today that, the reason there seems to be so much more disparit between clink and VrU load counts is that FECC is passing more of our frieght to their owned divisions like Supply Chain Services. Im no newbie with FECC so I have a basis to know that thought there was occasionall...
