it might be just the tail light wire, which is relatively easy to track down, it's a long wire but it's atleast simple. get a "power probe plus" it's a test-light on 'roids, makes chasing stuff like that real easy. on the other hand it could be a computer module. We had a 02 international down...

07-09 will be the EGR engine which is supposed to have major reliability issues, but those might be resolved at this point, not sure. The older DT466e's have good power, and I prefer the cab/driveability to an M2. I'd also recommend checking to see what turnaround times are on dealership...

tknight: yeah, I'm tempted to go that route. it would be nice to have the real-time updates of where trucks are during the day but... maybe it's smarter to separate the tasks: lojack for thefts and timedfx for drivers. I do like the idea of having an alert sent to me if anything rolls at odd...

before our unit went missing I was thinking about the timedfx service, looks great, only problem is now I'm concerned about theft so it won't do.

I've got a dozen of those, but they insist on going home after 5

We had a truck stolen out of our yard last night at 1:42am. so I'm looking more into a tracking system for that, I trust our drivers, but apparently there are other people out there...

does anyone have suggestion on gps truck tracking devices for small fleets? thanks in advance...

I hadn't noticed it was so deep. it looked like it would go in on it's side but actually probably not. my bad. jack-hammer it is

call a local moving company.

the HP rating is dependent upon the size of the pully, it's about gear ratio. For racing applications they make different sized pulleys which will reduce the alternator's output, but also rob less HP from your performance. This would also affect the alternator's output, so running the alternator...

did the ECM reveal anything? updates?

the whole point of an alternator over a generator (60's cars and earlier) is that it only runs when you NEED the electricity. When the alternator is running you lose a couple MPG and HP, that's why drag-cars don't have them. The car runs off of the battery, and when the battery gets low, the...

the site says that the dezl gps can be hooked up to a computer to generate driver logs and other reports, does anyone here use this? does the feature function well?

I wonder what the DOT would make of this at a weigh station....

Our trucks where used, some of them came with a repaint, some we had to remove the graphics. That's why I recommend the acetone and mineral spirits method. It's time consuming (one guy can do it in an afternoon w/ some elbow grease and a good ladder) as it ENSURES a good surface. Going over...

for us I think 14' trucks cost us about $2K and 24' boxes cost $3K we used top end 30yr vinyl, pretty much full coverage on the truck, includes name above the cab, back, both sides, DOT stuff on the doors. We're in Boston so labor rates are probably high here.

as people have mentioned, the vinyl has requirements for temperature when being applied, so be aware of that. I wait until spring to letter my trucks when we buy them. for used trucks, make sure all the residue is removed, I use acetone and mineral spirits. you want to work quickly and with a...

Let's flip this around, what's the advantage of a class B sleeper straight truck over a tractor and pup trailer?

We have some 12 year old LGs that are still going strong, get used every day. First thing to do is drill a couple holes so that when water gets on the folded up gate it doesn't pool up in the framing on the underside of the deck. If it drains off the rust damage to the deck is minimized. 2nd...

or perhaps a hub-seal leak led to a melted spindle.
