If you are mechanically inclined, change or clean your injectors yourself. I knew nothing about pulling inj on my Cat when I started, googled and read enough online and asked a couple questions on justanswers.com, now pulling them out on a regular basis just to clean the carbon off the tips...

I'll usually call and ask how many loads out in last 5 and 21 days, then plan from there. Or ask them if it would benefit team Panther if we need a paid empty move somewhere else. Good luck

Just an update, problem solved. Turns out I was also getting fuel in the coolant, along with coolant showing up in the fuel/water separator, but had no coolant in the fuel tanks when I drained them. Apparently there is a return line going strait to the fuel/water sep. Anyway, I pulled my...

"and you're all talking to each other, (which I highly encourage)" Back in the car business, we used to call that hanging out by the water cooler. Sorry, not my cup-a-tea.

We used to hang them by the pedals in the front of the box between 2 load bars on the highest e-tracks. Need to loosen handlebars and turn 90 degrees and then small strap across 'em. Only once did a shipper, I think Colt's Neck Military Base, made us put them in the sleeper. I wish someone...

On the wiper switch, I tried the dielectric grease and it will work for a time, but what seems to be the permanent fix (700,000 mi.s and still have original switch with no more problems) is to snug up the connections, specifically where the pins contact the disconnect. Use a tiny flat head...

"cats form of egr, its just recirculated back through the engine in a different way" Found this on ACERT and learned there is no exhaust gas recirc in it, interesting vid on youtube. Caterpillar ACERT Technology - YouTube

Zorry, no fuel cooler, goes tank to fuel/water fil. to fuel fil. to pump to head galley and injectors out the back of the head to fuel pressur reg. to tank (I have a pdf of the C9 fuel system, PM me an email address if needed). I have about determined the HUEI pump is not water cooled so this...

15,591 hrs on the clock. No idling, using a Honda eu2000 while sitting.

Problem is a small amount of red coolant showing up in my fuel water separator for the past 50,000 mi.s....probably an oz. of coolant every 2000 mi.s. The coolant recovery tank finally showed up today with one drop of fuel floating on top the coolant. Not enough in the bottom of the fuel tank...

"Had a leak in the sleeper lines." This is why I carry my A/C gauges and vacuum pump (cheap stuff from Harbor Freight will do) in my tool box. In the past 700k mi.s, I have replace a condensor, accumulator, compressor, high pressure line and repaired one line my self. Most recently found a...

Or at least get the gov't out of our wallets. One has to be reminded where the "gov't should pay" moneys come from.

Can't answer all your questions but I would thing the air ride would be worth it if not just for the better ride......had a civilian in a spring ride large rental St. trk come up to me and ask how can we stand day in and day out bouncing down the road LOL. Air springs, once installed of...

Not to derail the thread's topic 'trucker's pay lagging', just my 2 cents and a question. When do you ask your carrier for a .05/mi. or so raise, 4 yrs, 10 yrs?? I try to count the positives as a six wheeler o/o. I relate my current position in life to my previous career of 25 yrs is the...

We're in, 5 yrs hus/wife team. Mrs. Retide says to tell you Hobby Lobby is the cheapest, then JoAnn's Fabrics, then Michaels. She ought to know, as we sit here in the bunk surrounded by her scrap booking/photo albums/artsy stuff.......some weekends we can't pass up a supply store without...

I was told by dispatch the other day that Internettruckstop charges Panther every time we were logging in so no more for drivers.

After following the instructions from my 3 weeks in coming voicemail and calling VZ customer service asking them to change the verbage to "social security number", I have phoned Jennifer back and left message. Call Jennifer at (216)-408-2270 at Verizon if having a problem gaining the...

Here's a good reason why they need to cross the scales. This happened last Sunday, 17 yr old driver. Did anybody else find this appauling?; Teen driver in Kansas crash has restricted license - US news So if all 18 had their seatbelts on, it would have been perfectly legal? Looks like...

Yeah, I knew the ACERT is supposed to have some exhaust recirc somewhere but knowbody can tell me where. The intake clear back to the air filter has no place that I can see where exhaust is plumbed back in. The head, although I've never had it off, seems clean enough. I suppose it's in the...

Thanks guys. Dave, it is a M2106. Resleeve isn't out of the question and I need to research pricing, I'm just trying to keep it out of the shop and DIY it. Resleeving would involve close tolerances on setting the sleeves height among so many other things where bearings/rings are concerned and...
