Will I hurt my motor going back to a mineral or blend 10W30 from a 5W40 full synth? Here's the deal; 582,000 on the clock, my '06 C9 has been diagnosed with needing another HUEI pump. This one is on me ($1125 plus labor), no warranty. Some interesting info from Cat techs here at...

A nice lady at the IRS told me over the phone if I filed and pd my 2011 taxes by Jan 31st I would not be charged a late fee for not making my Jan 15th pmt.

OK, jus for fun, I'll start whining about the rail system and derail this thread too! hehe

Last nite had i been a few steps further walking past the front of trucks in the fuel isle........well, hate to think about it. I was walking at a steady pace and a d*** **ss driver startled me when about a half a lane ahead of me, gunned his tractor out of the isle like there was no tomorrow...

should be 'do not', lol

Dear Dispatch, Please do show favor and load these leased E units with our C and D loads as has/is happenning at FEDEXCC. Thank you.

I can't see the 1-9-1 but can see the 'emereg'... aparently can't spell either.

"Having pride in an association with a particular carrier is all well and good" Could it be this is one contractor's way of trying to make the Fed take note that he's mad as hell and won't take it anymore (which is good) but then trying to place some misquided guilt trip on the Fed for what...

Do you have any other electrical symptoms that are ignition switch related? Has it ever not wanted to turn off electrical power to the gages after failing to start? If so, maybe just an ignition switch. Might crawl underneath and check for any loose cables to the starter. Also may have...

I had a freightliner dealer in Columbus tell me they did not have time that day to install mine (4 hrs. to close) so I went to their parts department, bought one and installed it in their parking lot before I left. No one said anything.

Yup, little buggers got me in Biloxi, MS up the gene cord....a nice long line of them marching all the way from front to back down the frame rail. Found them when I woke up with something crawling on me, but luckily the kind that didn't bite . Chased them for days, finally died off after...

i would be tempted to try the fleetairfilter on my M2, but not available.

I was thinking the same thing. Tuscaloosa, among many other areas, have suffered some horrific damage and undoubtedly will affect us all in some way. We have plenty of recovery missions here in our own country to tend to, let's focus on our people, not some unknowns across the big ponds who many...

I am no expert, and I'm sure you have thought of this, but one reoccuring theme I've heard and read is recruiters have a tendency (not always I'm sure) to over estimating miles/week. However, let's say 6,000 X 45 weeks out, that's 270K/yr. Be sure and put some dollars away to cover repairs...

Reporting from 10 mi.s S.E of Texarkana US71 toward Shreveport, grey skys, no rain no wind. Retidepxe

Day three in El Paso with a 1st out from a dry run (shipper sd no one called him back as he needed 24 hrs. notice, OOPS!) that we d/h'd 490 mi.s for, not cool! Showed 4/day avg when we got here, now down to 2/day. Dispatch sd 11 in last 5. Come on El Paso, creat some loads for us drivers...

We're stuck in El Paso, does that count? It might as well be the west coast. Like you, we live in TX, but home is still 800 mi.s away LOL Retidepxe

"heavy rain" What trans do you have? We were at the 49er in Sacremento where I took my time going over the undercarriage wash jets pulling into the wash bay for a good cleaning. Upon pulling out, the allison in my '07 M2 went to N and would not shift into gear. After missing with...

Panther st trk team here, and we love Laredo, always a good load out, and usually the same day. Last time there, we turned down three offers below our rate (don't count against us) and then a good one paying our rate to Toronto came over. We've never had a prob getting out of Laredo in 4 yrs...

Very sore subject with me and the Cat as inconsistent as it is. Dispatch will tell you one thing, payroll another, and driver relations yet another. If delivery time is changed while on pro, it seems to cancel out any detention time acording to payroll, but dispatch will tell you it is set up...
