    The FECC suggestion/complaint box

    With all the talk about directions....what are your thoughts on this, Don't bother with the directions and just provide the pertinent end of run directions like "Enter off Spring St Gate 5 at Guard Shack. Use dock E for expedite", you know, the kinds of things that keep you from driving around...

    My Hino Nightmare

    Dakota, I got to give you credit for putting up with this and staying cool, my professionalism would be all used up at this point and I would be coming unglued to Penske and demanding another truck or to break the lease. My Dad once used to say, the more your truck gets worked on...the worse it...

    Lucas Oil Treatment

    While that is true, thicker oil does not flow into and out of the injectors as easily and when you are dealing with injection events that last micro-seconds being performed by a device that has clearances in millionths of an inch..... I also wonder why Caterpillar, the people who make the...

    Its my fault Layout, I am at home and out of the "Montreal Loop", sorry it had to be you that got sucked into the vortex. Good news is the Pilot you are at is very clean! Too bad the Cleveland canceled, the folks at that customer are very nice people to go see.

    Lucas Oil Treatment

    guido...you have a Powerstroke right?? Anything that plays with oil viscosity or chemistry on a HUEI injector engine is a BAD idea. Those engines use engine oil under very high pressure to fire the injectors and they are designed with a certain oil charecteristic in mind. To the poster with the...

    Paramus NJ, wimped out and got a hotel last night, not for the weather but to stretch out and get a shower. Felt weird walking away from the truck. Sitting here listening to a group of corporate types discussing and then firing 50 people due to a merger. I have my feet off the floor to keep my...

    Rear End Question

    Depending on the brand of rear end it could be a very simple fix, at worst, you could get a re-manufactured rear. If you look at where the pinion shaft sticks out, and you see a circle of bolts (6 or 8 likely) facing the front of the truck your pinion shaft can very likely be removed separately...

    960 express cruiser... wheres the power?

    Well, at 70 you are pushing a lot of wind and wasting a lot of hp to do so but I will save you the speech. If you are going to keep this truck for a few years I would re gear the rear end. You will have better performance if you get it geared to be at 2000 rpm at 60-63 mph. You may be able to...

    960 express cruiser... wheres the power?

    When you get to the hill, how fast are you going and what RPM? When it "dogs out" on you, what MPH are you at and what RPM?

    Thank you to everyone

    Sorry for your loss. The peace of knowing he is truly in a better place can provide some solitude in the storm of grief. You got to be with him.....a gift from God for sure.

    The FECC suggestion/complaint box

    Perhaps 4 or 5 accepts with no run would give you a <75 status if trucks ahead of you are refusing? It would sure give the "they are out to get me" guys a whole new way to rant.

    mpg update

    Those are great numbers Leo! I thought with fuel going up again I would see more slow and steady but it hasn't turned out that way yet. What tire pressures did you end up settling on?

    Montreal at the J......waiting for the storm. No big deal, good tires and growing up in the Canadian stix makes winter driving a non event. Sometimes I even enjoy it....
