By your description it sounds as though your truck has a "Dual Draw" system. That's why it has only one sending unit. The fuel should draw evenly from both tanks as well as return evenly. In order for a dual draw system to work properly both of the suction and return lines must be the same...

According to the OOIDA web site, the Tennessee ticket blitz is a hoax. www.ooida.com Rex

Yoder's truck stop in Elkhart,IN has truck diesel for 2.19 9/10. SR19 south of the turnpike....itty bitty joint, only 2 fuel lanes and parking for maybe a dozen trucks. Nice folks. I fueled there twice this week. I love the truck stop guide I got from Diesel Boss, it helps in finding these...

When a big truck gets in the "towbar zone" I get on the CB and ask if they dropped out of truck drivin' school before the discussion on proper following distances. I'll let you imagine the responses I get from that, as most aren't suitable for this forum!! As far as the motorcycle being...

I have used CoPilot Truck Laptop4 for about 8 months, and I think it is a great "truck" GPS system. A 3 drop NYC trip with no glitches in routing (which included the need to make a construction detour and an accident detour) and no worries about restrictions, parkways, low clearance,etc. I also...

Here's the scenario: It's night time and you're rolling down the highway with the cruise set at, or maybe a bit over, the posted speed limit, the stereo is flooding the cab with your favorite driving tunes and life is good. Suddenly you notice that the 4 wheeler you saw closing in the mirrors...

I just got back to the truck after raiding the buffet at the FJ here in Tulsa, and I picked up a copy of the July issue of "Trucker"s Connection". The interesting article in this issue is entitled "What's Under Your Hood?" It indicates that the next generation of Class 8 trucks/engines (to...

It looks like Landstar is making some good money from it's BCO's with Qualcom. I would think that there has to be a more cost effective (read:Cheaper) way of keeping track of truck location. Rex

I have no experience with a Sprinter directly, but a lot with deisel engines. Most likely you did not prime the new fuel filter when you installed it. You fuel system has lost it's prime. Remove the filter and fill it with fuel then reinstall it. Check your owners manual for the proper...

Thanx, Terry! Rex

Frank, I need some clarification on this. Are straight trucks affected by this tax? What are the determining factors as far as what vehicles are affected? Thanx, Rex

FM, The purpose of inert welding gasses such as Argon, Helium, Nitrogen, etc. is to allow the weld to be shielded from the atmosphere (we're talking arc welding) to preclude oxidation and the resulting weakening of the weld. Any gas of this nature is a "dry" gas. A lab-grade would be drier...

Leo, Either of those linked set ups would be "slightly" excessive for an O/O. Getting a bottle and regulator at the welding supply store and having it refilled as needed would be considerably more economical not to mention more portable (as in you could carry it on the truck). Rex

Lots of go kart racers use dry nitrogen, the main benefit in this application is pressures remaining uniform throughout a race. Adding any air to the tire will negate any benefits. Contact a welding supply house for info on sizes of bottles available and a nirogen regulator. IIRC, a full...

Get thee to: www.roadranger.com Click on "Products and Solutions" Click on "Clutches" On the right side, click on "Literature Center" and find the installation sheet for your clutch (I'm assuming that your truck has an Eaton clutch, most likely a 14" single disk). You should be able to figure...

Point taken, Dave. Based on talk of out of pocket cash, my assumption was that these units were beyond the warranty period. Here's a thought: As nearly all local TV stations have an investigative reporter or consumer troubleshooter, might it not be worthwhile for the affected owners to...
