Hopefully Levin will continue to be this way and not allow himself to be easily demonized like Rush has.

Ah.....your editing of my post is a bit suspect. Mrs Piper says not funny and the real Piper says GRRRRRR. For those of you confused, our household consists of four feet AND four paws. Must be all that exposure to American journalisim that makes you do that eh Ken?:p

Got to spend a week off with my wife and go racin' at Bristol Freight seems to be picking up Weather is cooling off After being woken up with a wet nose in my face and a wagging tail, me and the real Piper just went out and had a nice walk.

Because it won't meet the EPA standard for NOx. So they call it a D16 and clog it up with EGR and SCR (urea at 3%).

Usually they do Greg, this time however, and this is my personal opinion, we have California to thank. CARB has been waging a war on the smog part of pollution (NOx) as it is a particularly bad problem in Cali due to some geographical factors. CARB was going ahead with it's own super strict...

Corfu "J" until 9 pm then loaded back to the north.

While Henry's take on things may be a little pro Detroit Diesel he IS right. SCR engines will have FAR LESS of the heat issues that full EGR engines can have. EGR rates of a 2010 SCR engine will fall back into the 15% to 25% range while the EGR only solution will likely have rates well in...

Today was the first time I ever got it Steve.

Sitting at the TA in Paulsboro outside Philly, I can't say I have ever been so un impressed with a truck stop. The service here is awful and when you have to clean your own table that says something. Their internet service stinks to, right now I am on Idle Aire's weak intermittant signal. The TA...

The long and the short of it, things are getting busy, they are looking forward to a busy fall and feel upbeat that it will be quite busy, For the IFTA sized trucks, if you don't use T-Check they are going to start charging you 50 cents for every fuel receipt you hand in. Other thing I noticed...

The hoops are getting back into the US. Passport or travel card will ease the pain but the best thing by far is a FAST card. If you cross the border a lot, the truck transponder (DTOPS) is also very helpful.

Good find Linda!! Sounds like the sky isn't falling after all.

If your mileage and pulling power change then the filter is indeed clogging, switching brands may not help. Have a really good look at the air intake piping BEFORE the filter and see where the air is coming from, something may be off or mislocated and sucking in a bunch of crud. If you can...

Me thinks the high flow filter companies get around the liability with instructions about "cleaning more often under adverse conditions" and other such legal escape language. Also, as you are the one cleaning it, you are therefore responsible for it's performance. More airflow needs to come by...

For the Sprinter.....not a good idea. You will find that with the Sprinter when you start to go "off script" and play with things it leads problems eventually. Remember too,most of these products are designed for a recreational user, so if it does bad things it won't add up to much damage as...

You will get a notice from the MTO soon Rob stating you will need a new expiring CVOR certificate. They are not making people re-apply but Uncle Dalton wants your money.

You can do tire damage on a dyno if you dyno for extended periods or there is poor ventilation. Some (and I do mean some) dyno's have the electric resistance components (that create the load for your truck) inside the rollers that the drive tires sit on. These dynos create a lot of heat in the...

At the very least this belongs in the SoapBox, whatever the concerns are and whether or not they are valid, right or wrong etc, has NOTHING to do with expediting. Filling up the "business" parts of the forum with these kind of political, moral, ethical, whatever issues just drives people away...

Goodbye Bristol TN, got my twice yearly redneck recharge done. Home tonight and back in service tomorrow am. I hate leaving this place.
