I had an idiot driving a car carrier do that once. I caught it before it got on me. Wish I could have caught him but the little wuss hauled butt before I could go after him. Hope the Mrs. is OK.

Maybe some of these TVAL loads moved to other divisions within FedEx HealthCare Solutions. New services were announced in January. Here's the link: FedEx Introduces New Solution for Deep Frozen Shipments | FedEx Global Newsroom

Our Columbia top bunk has a round handle on the bottom of the top bunk that you turn to release the lock. It's right in the middle and about 6 inches wide.

Right front brake chamber blew out causing the vehicle to turn during an emergency stop.

I agree, but I believe that the upfitter that is installing his sleeper and box can change it. He has a CDL but his wife does not. That's the reason for the 25,950 GVWR.

I think I found my leak(s). One is in a metal water line that runs to the EGR, drips down on the motor and runs all over the engine. The other is at the water filter shut off valve. Hopefully when I take it into the shop tomorrow they agree.

The factory is supposed to be doing the final checks for gear ratio and HP settings to achieve the best fuel economy and performance. The reason for the hydraulic brakes is brake failure was sited as a contributing factor in the accident that destroyed the Hino.

That's an all miles rate. As I pointed out in another thread that at Express 1 that load would pay $1.42 ($1.12 + $.30 FSC) for the loaded miles only. If it had 10% deadhead and only paid the 900 loaded miles it would average out at $1.278 all miles. $1.40 all miles in the freight lanes is an...

Tire size is 22.5 I think the ratio is 3.91 as it is going to have the 10 speed auto. It was going to be a 5.29 before he decided on the 10 speed.

A friend of mine who runs mostly the western states is ordering a new truck to replace a Hino that was wrecked a few months ago. He was able to salvage the 84 inch sleeper and 18 foot box. Here are the specs he sent me on what he is ordering next week. 2012 Peterbilt 337 Motor: Paccar PX...

2006 Freightliner Columbia, 24 foot dry box, 70 inch factory condo sleeper, Mercedes MBE 4000 with Ultrashift tansmission. Had 618k miles on it when we bought it and now has 783k. I feel I've repaid the cost of the truck and gotten my money and then some out of it.

We got it home yesterday and are putting it in the local shop tomorrow. Hopefully it is not a head gasket.

When we bought our truck we paid cash from our bank account. I wanted to repay that money to our bank account over the first year. Our truck was $28k. Each week when we got our settlement I figured the total miles we ran, multiplied by $.25 and took that money to go back into our bank account as...

I do not understand why the truck you are running should have to pay for the replacement value or a new truck when it wears out. Shouldn't the truck only have to pay for it's self? Lets say you invest $150k in a new truck that will last 800k+ miles and you pay yourself back at $.25 per mile...

It started leaking at 779k. Could also be a de aerator line that runs from head to head and would drip down looking like it was a head gasket leak.

It looks like I may have a head gasket leak on a 2006 Mercedes 4000 MBE. Does anyone know what it will cost to have it replaced?

Guess I'll be skipping the Bars Leaks. It looks like it might be a head gasket or deareation line leak. Anyone know what that will cost?

I've developed a small coolant leak on an MBE 4000. About 1/2 gallon over 3000 miles. Anyone ever tried the Bars Leaks products or similar?

We had the same work done on ours last year. Total bill was $2944. And they put in a used flywheel as ours was too beat up from a spring coming out of the clutch.
