Does anybody have a 12v WX radio that has the alert functions? I know some CB's and in dash radios can tune in the stations but what about the alert siren?

Ok...that's some very helpful information. First off...no, you should never have to hand pack a cam tube. If they have shimmed up the slacks it sounds like they took the easy way out, your real problem is likely worn cam bushings. If you are going to keep the truck, replace the cams, the...

Charlotte NC Pilot, there is a guy who does this big act on the pay phone and his story involves a Comchek issue, does it most days around 3-5 pm.

Sounds like a flat spotted or seized shoe roller (pin) like Greg says. Any time something that should take grease has to be "hand packed" is a sign of two things, 1) it needs replaced or fixed, and 2) I'd be looking for a new mechanic. How exactly does one "hand pack" a slack adjuster...

You're from Illinois and you are complaining about bad drivers from other states?

They are pretty cool, come back home and you'll be hard pressed to find a Robert or Cascades trailer without em. BIG fuel savings. Never been near one in the rain...that's really cool to know they cut the spray too!

Are you talking about the little hula girl stringy skirts above the wheels or the big under mounted wings that go from the landing legs almost to the back wheels? http://www.freightwing.com/belly%20fairing.htm This??

MB considers North Americans to lazy and incompetent to use correct oils, our engines run a higher rate of EGR than the EU, and we do have lousy fuel compared to the EU. Therefore, the ASSYST is pre set for 16,100 km (10,000 miles) and that's it. I guess to make it simple, they just for go...

The 07 and up ASSYST is just a counter...nothing else. It counts up in 60 mile (100 km) intervals once it is re set. Mine has never changed, from the first winter when I idled a lot and was routinely in weather resulting in low op temps to last summer when I idled practically nil. Also, in an...

BTW Leo, here is a brochure that states what the recommended gearing is for combination's under 60,000 lb gross. That to me would imply that it was meant to handle such a job. http://ohe.cat.com/cda/files/448361/7/LEDT7015%20-C9%20Engine%20Brochure%208.9.07.pdf?mode

I hate to say it, but unless you purchased extended warranty from CAT, this is going to be the new normal. CAT has little interest in honoring original warranty claims as they no longer have any incentive to since they do not sell on highway engines any more. CAT was always a "pay it forward"...

Time to stock up again!! Thanks eb!

I'm not sure anyone is catering to the big bunk crowd anymore. If I had one, I would be very happy if it was (like Phil's) paid for. The rate pressures are everywhere, and at every division. I still think new is an option for some, but unless you are looking at lifestyle first, it will be...

Exactly......

Maybe...I cross the border on every load I haul...I usually spend more time paying toll than I do clearing the load.

170 wheelbase...OK....is it really 18 feet from back of the seat to the rear doors? MB lists no such animal. 15 and a bit yes but 18? That would be almost 7 feet of rear overhang.

18 feet??? What is the wheelbase?

"Falling down by little iron flakes" That is the best laugh I've had today, thanks Greg!
