We're on our way out to Cali, and the head gasket is going. Leaking oil, but no coolant. Called 3 different Detroit and Freightliner shops, and the time estimates I've gotten range from 8 to 24 hours, and from $95 to $112 per hour, with one guy repeatedly mentioning an EGR cooler. Instead of...

Here's one that I often wondered about: How about a police officer? What happens if the guy on the next shift calls in sick, and the current person on duty is mandated to stay on another 8 hours?

There's a check valve that is supposed to be added when a new one is installed. Ask your dealer to research the TSB's (technical service bulletins...but I believe Daimler calls them something else) for that info. Mine's been replaced twice. We'll go over 500k on the clock in probably 1.5...

Someone say 'dog poop'?

If you paid $4k to have that EGR cooler replaced, I hope they threw in some free lube, or, at a minimum, a hug and a kiss. You got porked. I think your prices are backwards. I have the small Mercedes 900, and have 480k on the clock. I am impressed with the engine. Won't win any races, but...

I must be the exception. Mine was a win-win. Still is... to this day. The haste concerns me though....for either side.

I'd like to thank Canada for Molson Brador and poutine, which may or may not be directly responsible for having to order larger pants.

Hmmm.....really?

I'm sure the paycheck was also somewhat of a motivating factor. In any event, thanks. GO AIR FORCE! K-9 leads the way.

Meredith, NH. Enjoying all the freight that comes out of here.

I got a warning letter 2 weeks ago. It contained a 94 point tally for unsafe driving. This was the result of me parking in the RV section at an Ohio Turnpike service plaza (big truck parking was crammed). The data entry for unsafe driving, as I "disregarded a traffic control device". The...

I'm with LDB on this one. Optional seatbelt usage and motorcycle helmet usage considers that all adults (even the ones from Turtle's "Elite" photo have the capacity to make sound, intelligent decisions, and are good and/or competent drivers. Assuming you are that person, what about the people...

Not sure where "here" is, Dakota, but it's pretty much anywhere in the US and Canada (don't get me started on Mexico or Puerto Rico). Worst of all are cloverleaf interchanges, especially when trying to exit with a 38' truck, and some 4-wheeler believes the seas should part for them to enter...

Hold onto them, Steve. You'll need them when you come back.

I was thinking the same. You're still property free. Property owners pay real estate taxes; not rent on dirt. No offense intended. It's chattel.

Whole Hog Cafe.....numerous locations in Arkansas, and a few in other states. Best barbecue ever, but I could go there just for the potato salad.

If we're within a few hundred miles, I'll definitely throw down with my Fajitas, the Puerto Rican's fresh guacamole, her rice with pigeon peas, and my peanut butter pie with chocolate graham cracker crust. Snort.

On our way to the castle...home, that is...for a long weekend. Sorry for your loss, Shawn.

Our dog is specifically trained to alert on the sound of a potato chip bag opening.

No offense, Steady, but I am one happy man to be out of that state and AR. Detour, backups, trees down....I'd rather have snow. TN was horrible.
