    Fl 70 Radiator

    They are not too hard to R&R. Several items to remember. 1. If removing and replacing hoses, order in advance because Freightliner will not have replacements. 2. Pay particular attention to rubber mounts and reinstall exactly at the same location. 3. Do not overtighten hose clamps as you can...

    Kwhoppers versus Volvo

    If you like the T2000 then a Pete 387 might be worth a look. They are pricey new, but a used one might be a option. They are both pretty much the same platform. When used and in simular shape, the prices seem to be pretty close. Inside layouts are pretty simular. Just another option...

    Landing Gear

    Any trailer shop can fabricate any type of crank handle. If it is still difficult to crank after a good lube, you may want to consider changing to a air operated system. It could be as simple as using a air chuck and drill, or something more elaborate. Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO...

    Kwhoppers versus Volvo

    As mentioned, the 300, 600, 900, are pretty close to being the same. If you are using it as a tractor, then the 2000 will give you more room. Another consideration if buying used, and economical, I would consider a 9000 (Sterling or Ford). They don't have the value that KW does, but you are...

    THE REST OF THE STORY

    As mentioned, I have limited information about your situation with your truck. But going with what I know, I think you should acknowledge who helped in your disputes and what your final settlements were that you agreed to. My personal opinion is, that if you weren't satisfied, why did you agree...

    3126 Cat Motor Parts

    Incorrect or restrictive filters will give you your symptoms as posted, but if a pressure test was performed correctly, it should have picked this up. That is assuming it was done correctly.......big if? Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO moderator

    THE REST OF THE STORY

    I don't know all of the facts of your situation but there is a few that should be addressed. The first being that you reference a Knoxville company. Your company in question I believe hasn't operated in Knoxville for quite some time, and it shouldn't be confused with Freightliner of Knoxville...

    3126 Cat Motor Parts

    A ECM log test would indicate a fault at any of the sensors. Fuel related issues should have been addressed when they replaced the hoses. A fuel pressure test would have determined if there was any issues at this point. Have the run this test again to ensure there isn't a seizure under load from...

    Kwhoppers versus Volvo

    If it is looking at just used, I would go with the one that had the best price verses condition. If everything else is equal, then it depends on how you are going to use it. As a tractor, either will do. As a straight truck, the KW hands down. Other issues are that the Volvo has had several...

    carbon monoxide in a diesel ????

    I would highly recommend a carbon monoxide detector. Reasonably priced at Wal-mart. Not a bad idea on a van either. Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO moderator

    Repair work on a Sprinter, I need feedback

    I know very little about sprinters but at $9,000 for a repair, I would wonder how far away you are from a new engine? Hope it all works out as that is certainly a high dollar repair. Let us know how it goes. Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO moderator
