    Freightliner m2 with cat c7 engine low temperature showing

    A constantly running fan would be suspect. A check on the ECM will tell you if that is the problem. Outside of that, it could be a thermostat, sensor, or just a bad radiator cap that isn't letting it pressurize correctly.

    How many pounds of freon do I need??

    Ice forming usually isn't a good sign. That is a indication of low freon. Same as a condensor freezing up in say your house. I don't subscribe to a 20 degree variance. You wouldn't on a car. TA guy is wrong. Who would buy a car that only cooled to 70 degrees when it is 95 out? At 95 degrees...

    At least she's not on the jury...

    And there in lies the problem. You can't convict someone based on credibility. Conviction of murder can only be done on the facts. So far in this case.....there isn't any.

    Ground flight : modern day crooks?

    Wasn't my original intent but I guess you could ask any woman. ;)

    I'm not convinced that they weren't his friends. Why was he there filming it in the first place? May never be known but him whopping it up in the backgorund gives a moment of pause as to whether that is him? Credibility in my opinion with both of them is the biggest problem. Unfortunately...

    So talked to my soon to be driving partner...

    Any orientation is great when it is over.;) Panther's is pretty easy to breeze through. Take notes and make sure you pay attention when they are covering the qual-com. Other than that, it will be fine. Food is great in the summer if the are barbecuing.

    To flush or not (radiator)

    A great cheap cleaner is simple ammonia or glass cleaner. Spray liberally and the bugs will fall off. Ammonia eats the bug residue. Rinse with a simple garden hose at low pressure. Water should flow right though the fins of both the condenser and radiator.

    To flush or not (radiator)

    I would recommend cleaning the bugs out of the front of the AC condensor and the radiator.Check with a digital temp gun to determine blockage. Just run it acrossed the radiator and see if the temps vary any. A cool spot indicated blockage. If van has age, replace the radiator cap and possibly...

    How many pounds of freon do I need??

    Pounds of freon is what he needs to know. Pressure is of value but it depends on where it is being tested. That is needed to determine if the high pressure valve/switch is opening. Trucks with a sleeper will have two if the bunk has a AC unit.

    How many pounds of freon do I need??

    Something doesn't sound right. Our KW's and Fruitliners only hold 3.5 lbs to 4.5 lbs depending on the truck. I don't think you could get 30 lbs of freon in a van. Should be a sticker on the compressor for the amount, or.....call a deaer with your VIN and they will tell you how much. If you have...

    At least she's not on the jury...

    And in this case, both sides look questionable. Not sure if the prosecution has a "smoking gun" but they need something because I am not seeing enough proof for a murder conviction. And if by the chance there is one, you can bet it will be appealed. Just my opinion of course. As for personal...

    At least she's not on the jury...

    And then of course you have this little problem. A video that Martin took with his phone showing his friends beating up and stealing a homeless man's bike. Don't know if it will be used in court but this kid is hardly a "good boy". Certainly didn't go out of his way to stop the theft and...
