Interesting..... One wonders is it because they have no new product? Their new engines aren't ready? They don't want to listen to all the *****in about CAT getting out of the game (PACCAR was the big CAT user after all). I do agree MATS isn't the big selling show it used to be. Manufacturers...

While the dealerships conduct was lousy, It also pays to pay attention to your truck. Look over any recent repairs (maybe you would have seen the line off). At some point you should have heard the air leak, even that little 1/4 inch air line if it was off would have made a fair noise and...

A DPF should last well beyond 100,000 miles as long as the correct engine oil is used as well as Ultra Low Sulfur diesel. If I had a dealer tell me my DPF was "full" at less than 150,000 miles I'd be screaming for a warranty adjustment. For you big truck folks, your DPF should last at least...

Ok, I give up, everyone just stay home.

Is anything else wrong with the engine? 1/8 of an inch of crank endplay is quite odd especially on an engine connected to an automatic. 1/8 is 125 thou, that's huge, it should be either clattering like hell or have lousy oil pressure (or both). Did you see them measure the 1/8th ? Either way...

My thoughts are it is the transmission getting itself happy (ready) for start up. It could be the process that is running the X and Y shift motors to position for neutral. I've never fully traced the noise but the first time I heard it I was under the cab of an M2 with an autoshift. When you're...

Do you guys both have Eaton Automatic Transmissions?

These guys just don't get it......But they'll be the first to point fingers when the plants close.

Mine was "Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head". I have only one thing to say about this..... Booooo.....

I know they have a shop in South Bend IN (those are the folks I talk to), a warehouse or 2 in other places (1 in Georgia that I know of for sure) and a whole host of approved installers all over the country. I'd say if ya can't get to Indiana to have them put them on you could always get them...

All that time waiting and you couldn't polish the rims?:p:p:p Nice looking box.Morgan builds em right!

Motels depend on where I am and how long the trip was. If I have just done a long strait thru (1200 miles +) I will get a hotel if it's cheap. A $10 shower at the J is good but if I can get a $30 Motel 6 and have a couple of showers,stretch out, use their A/C or heat. I will. The sleep is better...

I'm glad you are impressed, I wish I had that brain space to remember things like..........oh....my wife's birthday. It would seem to keep me out of more trouble. However those CW McCall 8 tracks sure do keep me company when I do get banished to the garage. Do ya remember Black Bear road?

Guess there is no more Midnight Network on XM 171. AM and I-Phone only now. They are filling the time with repeats of Nemo.

Sounds similar to http://www.tirerack.com Tire rack is slightly cheaper.

Congrats Cheri! That is so cool that you got a rescue dog. Many happy miles to you both!! From Moot: "Don't let Cheri make you do all of the pre trip inspections, rear door openings and fueling just because you're a newbie." Cheri if you can get the dog to do any of the above I'll pay you...

I'm beginning to think you rub that thing with a diaper Ken, it sure loves you back!!

Rob has a good point, Das tranzmission kool....das tranzmission happy. The Sprinter box spends a lot of time with the torque converter un-locked (creating torque) and thus generates a lot of heat. The NAG-1 transmission is actually able to take a lot more horsepower and torque than what our...

XM, I'd be pretty grumpy if I had to listen to local FM. O&A most mornings and Ron&Fez. I'll leave CNBC on as background noise if I'm in and out. Listen to Kevin when I can and might leave 171 on through the night.

On their website a few stations are listed as "Supply Low" or "Supply Critical". Have not heard of any big refining outages (dunno if theirs is running). I did notice the J in London ON has had the pumps out front re-branded as Shell (much like Ashtabula OH or like the Conoco branding).
