More the better. Can't see paying $92/hr to let some trainee grease 14 of the 22 zirks on my truck (just watch them the next time and I can almost guarantee they will miss 4 or more). How many times have you taken in your truck for a small repair only to get it back with something else screwed...

I have had a couple installed by SafetyLite, both leaked. 1st one took back to the shop and they injected more sealant to fix. 2nd one, I saved me some time and did it myself, not hard, just peal back the rubber molding at the location of the leak and inject away until you hit the leak, you...

I was in a situation 2 days ago where I had backed off because a noticed a car carrier coming onto the interstate around a circle entrance ramp ahead, semi passing me to my left, so no changing lanes, and calculated if he didn't hold within the entrance ramp's 3rd lane, we would occupy the same...

Kristi, you have our prayers. Put it in the Lord's hands and just know that He is in control. May God bring Richard healing and understanding that only His great mercy can afford us here on earth.

Thoughts and prayers to the family. The 1st thing I thought was driver error, but, I have to catch myself, could have been a number of other things, heart attack or other health issue, run away motor or other mechanical issue. I had been researching the run away motor the last couple...

If the Cat is a C9 (B50 life of 750,000 mi.s), better then a C7 (B50 life of 450 - 500,000 miles). Maybe it's a bored over C7 and somebody is calling it a C8, the number closely associated with the liter displacement. Cat did not manufacture a C8. Something else to consider, some '07 M2106...

TeamCaffee; It appears this is last years conference call?? date/time. It caught my attention because my daughter's birthday is on the 20th and it is on a Saturday. Awesome truck by the way.

See what you started DieselDriver? I've been watching for any followup. I am a bit confused. If the carrier sd to check with the owner, this infers you do not own the truck, or do you? And if not, when you say, shouldn't the Company check to see if you are OK, are you referring to a company...

Judging by the day that Oct 20th falls on, the article is dated last year LOL!!!

Zorry, I think your poke and jabs poked a few holes in the original post's theory of "as low as". I know a young lady from uship Shipping Wars that may be interested.

REgarding Van pulling a trailer, and if someone has already recommended this I apologize; why not just go ahead and get a Str8 truck with a comfortable sleeper? Not to get too off topic here, I never saw the show but read a small article on Shipping W's in a freebie mag quoting a young lady...

Hey Str8 and Class 8 owners, see what your missing. Steady, I do like your disclaimer at the end, must read as fast as possible like the truth in advertising is read on radio.

Also will attest Donvel is a great product. Ur right about advertising. When I researched front air srpings, I thought I was going to need to go to Toronto until I stumbled on the the small ad in the back of The Trucker. Donvel is in Gladewater, TX, about 30 minutes from my home. Mr Donvel...

Yeah, I didn't realize how much the AMU's do until I read up on a couple links. They do have a benefit, according to Freightliner, by reducing the amount of air lines in the dash thereby reducing the chance for air leaks....huh, if installed right, right? This guy had a problem with the low...

I just checked, my last AMU replaced due to air leak was on 03/24/09 at 236,590 mi.s. Just turned 780,000 mi.s with no AMU problems since then. Screw Freightliner, they don't want to hear what the fix is, it's easy money for service. It really is not hard to diagnose and replace AMU's. Here...

Ontario, CA East. Only one truck (our's) in the front lot. Did I miss the memo??

I recall my research on chaining up required only one tire on each side on a single axle, am I wrong on this?. AS far as the auto chains, I like the idea, especially when one might find themselves in the middle of a circle on ramp (or anywhere for that matter), and when you least expect it...

"full width of the truck, angling down and toward the rear as far as possible and serving to deflect the air down and under the liftgate." Rocketman, here's kinda of what I envision you mentioning, the angled down dual wing running across, maybe someone can come up with a drive shaft thru...

When the air pressure's droppin don't bother knockin..... My experience with my M2, 1st air leak was one of the AMU's above the rr axle. Take a 3ft L of 1/2" clear plastic tubing from Lowes or HD, against your ear on one end and the other end slide in the gap just behind the AMUs all in a...
