A great number of us will be out on the road when Election Day (Nov.7) comes around. NOW is a good time to contact your County Election Board and request an absentee ballot. Rex

It's a good idea to wait those few seconds when you turn the key to the "RUN" position as this is when the ECM does it's self-test sequence. You should notice the warning lights activate in the instrument cluster and on some trucks the gauges will sweep their full range (less than full sweep is...

My greatest expense, for the period 1/1/06 through 8/31/06, is fuel. I have spent 25.847% of my gross revenue running the Cummins M11, whether for rolling down the road or idling to maintain comfort. On 8/25 I had an APU installed to eliminate the idling I do when I'm parked for the night. I am...

As this topic gets covered pretty often, I'm just going to say that IF you are in a TRUCK you should look into CoPilot Truck Laptop9. If you are in a van, there are a lot of choices. Rex

My freebie tire pressure gauge just arrived in today's mail and it's a real nice tool!!! Thanx again, MDB1, for the link!! Rex

My '99 International 9200 is fairly aero, and the 400HP M11 (pre EGR ISM) Cummins is giving me MPG in the mid to high 9s. The rear axle ratio (2.94:1 w/ 10speed direct)is a bit off for max economy, but a taller drive tire will get it in ballpark (Cummins sez 1500rpm @ cruise speed and I'm...

As I just had an APU installed on Friday, I was able to throw away the IdleAir window adapter I had been toting in the truck. I have used the system about 6 times over the past year. My biggest hctib about IdleAir is the number of parking spaces that are lost when the system is put in a parking...

There are 2 types of fans that are commonly used. Air operated: these are found on most class 8 engines (as well as some newer class 7s) and the fan function is controlled by the ECM as it monitors coolant temp. On older mechanical engines there was a fan thermostat (commonly called a "Skinner...

It's my understanding that the upcoming inspections are going to be focused on brake adjustment. The inspectors are going to be handing out booklets and adjustment monitoring kits (DAMMMMITTTT, I can't find the link to the kits x(). As I don't run under a tight time schedule, I'm not too...
