    CAT c-11 motor reliablity

    My '06 C9 has 1.1 mil. Ran into a guy that had 1.3 mil on his. Neither have had the head or pan off for major repair. Main problem seems to be the HEUI pump, I'm on number 3, the 1.3 mil guy was on number 8 if I remember right. They like clean oil so I run an OPS brand oil bypass and run...

    Former Arrow Trucking CEO Arrested In DallasFin

    Re: Former Arrow Trucking CEO Arrested In Dallas And what makes him think he's not culpable as CEO? Says he didn't know, then goes on to say he 'talked' to the CFO about the delinquent taxes? Would not the responsible thing be to maybe look into something this weighty yourself rather then...

    What's up w/ panther

    That's so true, i was thinking the same thing the other day when and if we begin to grow beyond one I need to start with the combo I've been wrenching on for the last 7 yrs..... Feel like I could pretty much diagnose one over the phone with the dash codes/symptoms and maybe sidestep the oem...

    What's up w/ panther

    Interesting thread guys, appreciate the insight. Three weeks down time for a dpf repair seems insane but i know it happens all the time. Rutherford on XM seems to have some conections with the oems and has mentioned they are getting killed with warranty claims. Don't know if applies to big rig...

    truck color maintenance !

    My son turned me on to Zaino products Zaino Store In the car business in a previous life, I've used my share of wax brands. Read up on this stuff. Zaino uses no carnuba and this stuff is tuff. I polish my truck thoroughly once a year and touch it up with a spray on freshener from Zaino in...

    Electrical issue with M2 business class

    Yeah, I have plugged my into my EU2000 Honda and I'm supposing the built in breaker would trip if a problem. After not pre-warming and spending last nite in Tulsa with a low around 15 faren the valve train and/or injectors sounded like a clam bake for a half a second when she fired up. I'm sure...

    07 M2 parking brake light and low air buzzer issue???

    Yes, if I remember correctly the brake lite switch AMU is different then the low air warning buzzer. I've had to replace my brake lite switch once in 1.1 million mi.s on my '07. REally a safety issue because the cruise will not disengage when you hit the brakes, spooky feeling. I pulled the...

    Anyone need slush busters

    My M2's driver's side stripped out due to ice freeze up. FL told me as well need complete assembly. Tried JB Weld, nope. Then I drilled a small hole thru the arm and into the wiper shaft, tapped it out and put a screw in. Worried it wouldn't hold i bought a used assembly for $30 on ebay. That...

    Dac report

    I assume they have been driving the truck for a while, I'd report it. Down right dangerous, huge liability, costly, I could go on. I wouldn't want 'em in my trk. Equipment neglect. 1st off, no excuse for not checking levels, pm or not, especially w/ signs of leaks. Rr end/hub grease has...

    Something sure did a number on the top of that piston, wow! Hard to imagine it wasn't very obvious what did it.

    Sleeper Air Bag

    As with any DIY info, I cannot be responsible for injuries. I have seen a small bottle jack used to expand the assembly to reach the air spring. The shocks can stay bolted up. The air spring will spin when you try to undo the center bolt. Get a bracket that goes on a chain link type metal...

    CAT 3126 Turbo Diesel

    You didn't mention you changed the fuel/water separator if so equipped. My M2 has the Racor fuel/water filter with the screw on clear bowl on the bottom. Shops are bad about jacking with the plastic drain valve on the bottom of the clear bowl and over tightening it to the point of popping the...

    Hard cold start mystery 3126

    If it is a loss of prime when cold, try priming with the hand pump. Could be as simple as hand pump leaking loosing prime when it sits, or as Dave said the HPFV which is probably like my C9 and located at back of head. I am told these fuel pressure valves are notorious for wearing out so in a...
