Okay, watched the post about phasing. Incredible. This truck has not been towed under my care but likely has been before. Now, would changing tires affect this at all? (I bought truck with 4 different drive tires, I purchased 4 new michelin xdn 2's and put on it.) Do I have to have it checked...

Wow :)

Hello,:) Just documenting and requesting any advice. Truck is a 2006 Freightliner M2 106 (Automatic Allison 2100 RDS and Caterpillar C7 ACERT) VIN: 1FVACWDC76DW71478 Allison S/N: 6310585250 Mileage: 330,000. In September of 2016 (1 year ago) I brought my truck into a local Freightliner shop...

Kip, How's that M2 workin' out for ya?

Well, I've eliminated the belt as the issue. Seems like the bearings failed in one of the tensioner pulleys. I can't seem to get ahead of this truck, everything is falling apart one piece at a time. I also have to reinstall the external wiring harness this week, as a couple of the wires had...

Thank you.

Greasy - can you take a listen to this C7? Dropbox - Freightliner

Yeah - I mean if I rebuild it then I can guarantee good mileage... if I buy a used then it's another gamble.

tknight - replaceable sleeve

Update: --------------------------------------- Brought C7 Cat to Peterson Caterpillar here in Portland Oregon with misfire at all RPM's and gray smoke out of the exhaust and blow by. Discovery: Cylinder 3 is not firing due to scored cylinder walls. Recommendation: In frame rebuild. Purchaesed...

Progress Report: So far I've had to change the oil and discovered the fuel filters were the wrong ones. ($281.50) Then the Liftgate (Waltco tuckaway) quit while on a move. Tech discovered broken hose, low fluid, and seized hinge pin. Precision Liftgate from Milwaukie, Oregon came out and did a...

Greasy, I know, right? I'm going to do my best to take care of my trucks.

Unreal. Well I better have cash set aside then. I found an old Penske sticker in it... Could have began life as a Penske truck... fleet or rental? Guy I bought it from seemed a bit shady... Well - Load 1 delivered. 1,300 miles in and truck is pretty freakin' sweet! More power in this old C7...

Oh man... Now you got me scared. I bought the truck. Paid $17,000.00 cash. Feel like it was a mistake... But we shall see. Going 2,551 miles between now and next Sunday delivering Christmas Trees for Santa 'N Sons tree farm out of Junction City, OR.

Ragman: Good call. I'm looking into that now.

Johnnyboy: Thank you so much for that information. I would like to reach out to him - I just looked up his profile on UShip, he's got very high ratings. PaulnStef: Sending now. LBD: From everything I've read that sounds correct. So I'm going to keep searching for a Cummins-based M2. Does...

Vandriver2: You're absolutely right. And believe me, I've been drooling over a 2016 with a Kentucky movers body lol :) Can't quite afford it though and I'm up against the ropes because this winter I have seen a 40% drop in business, which is way more than any preceding winter since I've been...

tknight, Thanks, kindly. That seems to be the consensus based on what I've read thus far. Appreciate your 2 cents.
