I appreciate the thread on reefers and CARB, now let's talk truck motors. I heard on Landlinenow that CARB is declaring August as Green month with the inspections set up at scales to "educate truckers", read....check emissions compliance by running a sniff test etc. (and, oh, btw, CA DOT will...

Which Cat shop is it, if you care to share, and does the $20,000 include any extra $$'s for extended warranty? I'm thinking more towards slipping in a long or short block when the time comes (my C9 has 760,000 mi.s, burns 1 gall Rott T6 synth every 5,000 mi.s, but has done this now for...

I am pro rewards, has a warm and fuzzy feel to it. I don't know about solo, but we have been real happy with our loads as a straight trk team. It seems like the last 12 months or so the 2,000 mile load offer group has gone thru the roof for us. Can we contribute this to the new program, I like...

Glad the new drums solved your problem. You did not mention if you had the bounce before new linings installed. If not warped before the new linings, why would they be after? Note that drums have there own hub pilot tabs and if not seated when tightening the first lug nut, one risks warping the...

Not meaning to be difficult here, but, the fuel bulb, filter, quick disconnect, so many feet of fuel line, if God forbid you have a breach anywhere due to fire, accident etc., if still gravity fed, the risk still exist as far as the FMCSA and I are concerned. See Section 393.65 Subpart E - Fuel...

Just POD'd in San Antone this A.M. and I show position 1 with 16 daily avg out of Laredo board, Panther St trk. We had a load offer before POD'ing to KC but boss says we have to go home for g-son's 1st B-day party so we passed. Quick note; A guy with FEd Ex Ground asked me about Panther the...

That's cool, but I would not feel too safe with it, too many things can happen with a fuel line and hauling class 1 thru 6 haz mat, or just the thought of 5 gallons of gas draining out as you go down the road or parked. Also, DOT regs requirements. The Honda does have a fuel pump to draw the...

I've read the EU2000 will last about 6000 hrs at which time the plastic oil slinger will break and soon fry the motor. Here's some nice accessories for the EU, especially the oil drain tube (disclosure; no affiliation with seller). DIPSTICK OIL FILLER GAS CAP HONDA Eu2000i GENERATOR | eBay...

Next question is, any STRAIGHT truck experiences with these fat boys?

Starter replacement, straight forward enough, but, you want to Be sure and pay close attention to wire routing so as not to be rubbing against anything when done, as well as leads tight and corrosion free. Too many stories of fires after starter installs on big trucks. The main lead wire is a...

The NJ thing, take I-81 N to i-84 E if headed to New England, only like 25 mi.s further, and no GW bridge toll. I noticed a sign for my first time advising trucks to take this route to New Eng before you get to I-81. Traffic wasn't bad at all this morning. Coming thru NY, pulled in rest...

Injector seals do you use OEM or aftermarket and how often do you clean em? I'd stick with OEM, more likely to get the correct ones. I have been cleaning the inj tips roughly every 125,000 miles or so, may do it sooner as my truck is starting to use some oil with 730k on the clock. I have...

Congrats Awayne on DIY. I posted on another thread hear somewhere about this. When replacing the "rack" of AMU's, place a wide enough slide clamp on them to squeeze them together tight so the rubber gaskets are well seated. Oh, and before using the clamp, be sure the retainer clips are...
