Scuba, what Bruno said, you were only charged once, $1.50 for the fuel trans, $1.00 for the cash withdrawal. i too 1st thought it was additional charges when I 1st saw it, but after doing the math and the figuring, what I save at the TA's (even considering TA's higher fuel prices), the comdata...

Also be sure and seal up your little holes in wiring left behind by your test light probe. I use RTV silicon. My front park lights and box marker lights all went out the other day after I repaired a bad wire to a front left park lamp......so I knew it was something I did, duh...

TX only issues one front plate for commercial trucks if running interstate, intrastate gets two, not sure why. I had a PA DOT conduct a roadside and pointed out i was missing my rear plate. I showed him my cab card issued by the state that spells it out and he didn't write me up for it. I was...

Thanx for all the replies. It was a local cop who wrote the warning upon exiting the interstate. He asked me if I was "pulling in for the nite or just for dinner?". I told him "just for dinner, but looks like I'll be here for a while." He said, "just be sure and repair it before you...

I was given a warning ticket by a freindly small town cop in Ohio for no tail lights. Am I obligated to report this to my carrier? Luckily it was an easy fix in the Mc Donalds parking lot. The heavy slushy snow had knocked a ground wire loose. Had a nice talk with Crazy Joe in Jersey...

I agree, probably still local. My years in the car business, having had many stolen, many turn up close to where it was lifted, and amazingly in good shape with all the items still in it, extra keys etc... Hope all turns out well. Maybe consider an ad in a local free penney saver paper for...

I like my Cat C9, runs strong and pulls the hills nicely. Learned to do most minor adjustments and repairs myself and have had no issues with Cat's ESC warranty coverage on repairs, granted I have not needed anything major work as long as you don't consider a turbo, injector pump and one...

Call Caterpillar tech assist; 800-447-4986 Always helpful to me, no charge. Since yesterday I have a code bH 164 show up on my '06 Cat C9 at start up, but my engine is running fine, except for a problem that occurred about a week ago that triggered the Check Eng light. Tech assist said...

Wondering if Layshouter ever solved the Delorme blue screen issue? We have the 2008 version and will lock-up once in a great while. If you have not already, you might try going to Options>GPS Settings and within the "When Tracking" box, scroll down and uncheck the "Show GPS bread-crumb trail"...

That explains it, I must have created my user name when the clocks were running backwards....... dern. Retidepxe

"shop said they won't give him the part back but I told him that BS." If the part is replaced under warranty, the dealer has to tag it and return it if requested by the manufacturer, supposedly so the supplier can research the failure (yea right, i'm sure that happens). If not returned...

I also found certain wire connectors on the M2 to be quite small and succeptible to intermitent contact at times. Regarding the turn signals/wipers and the headlights off and on, I took an eye glass repair kit regular head screw driver, because it is about the same width as the female wire...

"EVERY shop I get it worked on in tells me the same thing. They are plastic, can't hold up to the vibration/pressure and break." Maybe a fluke thing for me, and please understand I am no factory trained tech, but after having the AMU that controls the air pump cycle time, installed under...

And you IFTA paying drivers out there, remember you always want to look at the fuel price excluding IFTA tax if you have the option of fueling in different states on a long run. Fuel where the net price (excluding IFTA) is the cheapest. Here is the site I use to look at this; TruckMiles.com -...

Yes, we're all too busy to respond! It may fall flat tomorrow but for now, Luv ya Panther! Retidepxe St Trk 31439

I'm with ya ttruck, fsc has got me flustered as well with the price of fuel topping 3 bucks/gal and the avg fsc going down. Every once in a great while we are offerred .35 or so where it should be, but the .16 to .19 is way too frequent and less then earlier this year for a straight. What you...

2nd Layshooter's referral to United Alignment/Willie. He corrected previous screw ups by a Freightliner dlr (removed 1/2" shim and manufactured a new steer spring to axle pin). Willie does not use factory specs and installed 4 degree wedges on my steer axle. Drives better then it ever has and...

Questions questions questions.....Anybody know the short belt part number for a Cat C-9 in an '07 M2 pre-emiss. Compressor starting to hum a bit at 470k mi.s, thinking it's a good time to replace it before it goes and dumps a lot of trash thru out the system, or worse case scenario, throws a...

Lugnut, are your logs electronic? The 8-3-3-8 sounds good if the "cutie" on the qualcom doesn't complain "you are out of hours of service driving time". I thought the split had to be 8-2-2-8 but the 3-3 in the middle makes since with the 11 hrs available on duty during the 14. retidepxe

Brought my truck in for overhead some time ago and dealer said turbo oil seal was blown and one injector at 180k mi.s, Freightliner, Texarkana, warranty paid no problem. Also, no problem w/ getting a HUEI pump replaced a couple weeks ago under Cat's ESC warranty at Tyler TX Freightliner, 455k...
