The fact that there are a dis-proportionate amount of Hino's tells me a lot of people are buying them and then turning them in fairly quick. They haven't been around long enough for there to be a lot of high mile used stuff at the auction. Auction trucks can also be problem children, dealers...

Ark and Thib are both right, you can't use a truck meant for city delivery in expedite and expect it to work well for any length of time. Even the lil ole M2 has been engineered to take it (there is a severe service 112 model that uses that cab). The list of problems presented above also point...

Opie and Anthony in the mornings 6-11 ish. CNBC or Ron and Fez in the early afternoon (once the price of oil fell below 120 I could listen to CNBC without getting depressed), it's good background noise. At night, XM 48, a bit of Kevin on 171. If I feel a bit groggy, I have Shinedown's latest...

Was 15 and driving up north with my dad, after we stopped for lunch he threw me the keys. I've had a very hard time staying out from behind the wheel since. BTW, you don't have to be a newbie to have Moots "door" experience. I did that last month with a rental truck.

Only failures I've seen with these units have been due to lack of maintenance and the wrong oil. I didn't have any in any fleet I managed so that knowledge is second hand.

Moot, is this part of your reaction drill for trains? What does your friend Jack do?

It's my twice yearly "redneck sabbatical". Gotta get a re-charge now and again!!! What better way to do it than with 165,000 others who share my "religion".

Hope no one gets hurt or has property damage. AND, I hope it's nowhere near Bristol TN Friday or Saturday!!!

Don't waste your money, it's another spiral intake device. They don't work on diesels and it's pretty shaky on a gasser.

July started slow for me and wound up being my second best month ever. August is likely going to be the worst month ever. I had planned for a slow summer thanks to what I read on here!

Toyota has an in house trucking company called Transfreight. They have big terminals in Cambridge and now Woodstock ON. I think the US HQ is in Erlanger KY, not 100% sure. At the Honda plant in Alliston ON I have seen PII trucks.

Did it mention how much the "upgrade" would cost?

All engines made after Jan 1 2010 need to meet the new law. That likely means trucks built after March 2010.

Does this mean we actually WANT this technology? Don't know about you but I want it! Greg, I'm hearing the dosing rate will be anywhere from 2 to 5% depending on the engine load and engine configuration. Each engine will still use some EGR and if you use more EGR you would need less fluid. I...

Interesting....What brand of oil did they put in it Layout?

There aren't any published costs yet although in Europe apparently the benefits are far greater than the cost, mind you they pay 8 bucks a gallon for fuel too. Dunno about the pee thing....maybe eat a bunch of high spice beef jerky for your own high performance blend? I see a new business...

Congrats on the million Ice!! Kinda a warm fuzzy feelin aint it?

OK...Phil asked so here goes!!:D Up until now, engine makers have been dealing with emission challenges by modifying combustion in the cylinder to achieve the desired result. Basically they have 2 main issues to deal with, particulate matter (sooty black exhaust) and NOx (oxides of nitrogen)...

For the next round of engine emissions it looked like there was going to be a bit of a war going to happen between engine manufacturers who were going to use SCR (Detroit,Volvo,Mack,Paccar branded engines, Cummins Light duty) and those who were going to rely on even higher rates of EGR (Cummins...

At the risk of sounding stupid.......what is a NLM load?
