Hi Joe, I was just wondering if you called TSI Western Star about your APU problems and if they were able to help you. Bob

I was not impressed with it. It seemed to me to be a bunch of company rhetoric. It looks like to me like Custom Critical might wind up being completly taken over by FedEx Freight and truned into a mostly LTL thing, maybe with the exception of the WG and/or T-VAL units. I quess time will tell.

I had just read last week that they are tooling up the new plant in Mexico to build the cascadia. They spent hundreds of millions building the new plant in Mexico and have shut doun the Portland, OR plant. Maybe I mis-read it.

Yup your right about the 1/2%, but I prefer not being a billboard, just a personal preference.

You can if the box isn't a billboard for fedEx

A mechanic's best tool is a hammer followed by a pair of pliars

I believe just about all Freightliners are made or gonna be made in Mexico, might be true for Western Star also.

FedEx CC sent out 200 serveys at random throughout the fleet.

I was just wondering how many of you, if any, here on EO received the FedEX CC survey . I know that 200 was sent out and am just courious if anyone that posts on EO received one..

Why would a WG lock be put on a non WG truck to begin with, just wondering, could it be one of those phantom WG locks for one of those phantom WG trucks, you know the trucks that are not officially in WG but get the WG loads. Just food for thought.

You can't use the R134A in the R22 units. Bill moore does the upgrades, he has a price list, TSI is a great place for all body and engine work also. They fabricate a lot of their oun stuff and stand behind what they do, and they don't charge for the so called 'shop supplies" like most other...

The problem is with the hoses on the units using R22, and you need to be R22 certified to use R22. The newer units use the A34 (Ithink thats right, its 34 anyway). The hoses on the R22 models let the freon seep out with no detection. See above post.

Here is the deal about the freon leaks. The freon is leaking through the AC hoses. The leak does not show up with any dye or pressure test because it is such a small leak, it takes a few months before it is noticed. One day you turn the AC on and the unit freezes up. I was having the same...

Now there you go talking about Obama like that, It should be banned.

Now your talking, I almost dropped my koolaid and my rose colored glasses almost slipped off my face while reading some of the posts on this subject.

I will join the ban as soon as I put my glass of Kool-Aid down and take off my rose colored glasses, but it might take a while.

Bill Moore built my truck for me. They are great people to do bisoness with. TSI also installed my Comfort Pro APU, they did a great job and they stand behind the products they sell.

There was a news story posted about it here on EO, but your right, no info was posted in the forums, at least i don't think there was.

You've been away too long Phil, this is old news
