    Big Truck Used Truck Inspections/Warr

    You can take it to the trucks local dealer. Tell them what you are looking to do and they can hook it up to the computer and visually inspect it. It's probably going to be at least 2-3 hours of labor. But you can find out a lot

    I bought my truck from Ellenbaum. MAKE SURE YOU BRING A CERTIFIED MACHANIC WITH YOU. Some trucks there he doesn't know the history on. I had a mechanic go with me and I was happy with the price and what was found out about the truck.

    Big Truck Tranny Coolers

    Has anyone in a str8 truck or bigger used an aftermarket tranny cooler. If so did your truck engine run cooler after the tranny cooler was installed? Basically I'm trying to get the truck to run cooler, was wondering if eliminating the tranny fluid from the radiator did anything. Thanks.

    Question about Hino 338

    TruckAllOver: It doesn't leak around the Turbo. It's behind it and towards the rear of the block. The rag is where the turbo exhaust is. The green circle is the back of the block where it leaks.

    What's the best way for team drivers to split the work

    When I was a team I did the night driving. There are teams that also pick 12 hour shifts. One person would do 07:00-19:00 and the the next driver takes over no matter how much or little that driver drove. It all up to you guys on how you want to split it up.

    Good deal or should I pass .?

    It's all about how the truck was taken care of before. I have a Hino with 800K plus. It was very well taken care of. I think the problem with the C-7 is that it's too small

    Any money in straight trucking alone?

    Greg, Yes and No. Everything has it pros and cons. I ran E-logs to but I like paper better. In my experience paper is better for a solo driver, just my opinion.
