Easy to miss, as most happen behind the scenes rather quietly, not that bannings happen very often. At OVM notes, it's the same as with any member, if you insult them and/or treat them disrespectfully, you're gonna get a warning. Do it repeatedly and you're gonna get banned. Theoretically, and...

That doesn't really say anything about who has to stop at ports of entry weigh stations and obtain weight and trip permits, though. Plus, if you go strictly by the partial answer in the FAQ, a placarded cargo van isn't even considered a CMV in Arizona. Section 1(b) is the relevant part to us...

I can't imagine that would be the motto of the Safety Department at your carrier. LOL I'd sure stick a voltmeter on the battery terminals while that thing is running and see what the voltage is, though.

Awesome awesome

Physics says otherwise. Unless, by "going strong" you mean "hasn't catastrophically failed." LOL

There are a lot of different mods that I have no intention of doing that's I've read up on anyway, for lots of reasons. The more I can learn about different things, how they work together, what works and doesn't, and why, the better I can make related and sometimes unrelated decisions. This mod...

So where can I learn more about this "fix" including where to get it, and child-level instructions on how to use it?

What are the long term consequences of having a non functioning EGR valve?

I'm totally lost. I have no idea what you're doing. I don't know what the "fix" is or what it's supposed to fix. Glad it worked, tho.

Without question, the most common cause of low rail pressure is exactly what FlyingVan described (and what I touched on in my second paragraph above). It's probably 80% of the time.

My guess is there is crud in the fuel tank cloggin the fuel inlet on the pump. Especially if it's happening more often with 1/2 a tank or less. I'd run a dose of Power Service and a dose of Howes Meaner Kleaner in every tank at least until it's gone through 2 or 3 bottles of each, and see if...

Of course, the true meaning of the holiday is the decoration with flowers of the graves of, and the remembrance of, the Civil War dead. Anything beyond that has been the result of political co-opting. In January 1866, the Ladies' Memorial Association in Columbus, Georgia, passed a motion...

Yes, it is. That doesn't mean that the ban couldn't be lifted, but (other than spammers) it takes a lot of work to receive a permanent ban, so it'll take at least that much to get it lifted. There had only been one person who's ban will absolutely, positively not be lifted. We have 3...

Unless there is a mechanical failure, like a broken spindle or something, alternators just get weaker and weaker over time. The ScanGauge II that I have displays the battery voltage, and the battery monitor I have displays the charging amps, so for new it's pretty easy to see the alternator...

<shrug> Pretty much the same thing that anyone will get banned for - a blatant disregard for the EO community rules of decorum and civility. In his case more specifically, for repeated multiple violations of the Code of Conduct, openly disrespecting expedite motor carrier executives...

Might not have been a fluke as much as it was luck. Some aftermarket parts are the exact same part as the OEM part, made on the same manufacturing line. They just stick it in a different box at the end of the line. I've witnessed it at Mahle, Denson, and know someone who works at the ZF plant in...

It could be the rail, a clogged fuel filter, pinched fuel line or obstructed fuel line up under the tank, or the fuel pump (in the tank) going bad.

It's probably easier to tell someone which carrier will be the best one for them than it is to put a time or mile lifespan on an alternator. There are too many variables.The rotor is spun on a needle bearing, which can break due to excessive wear or dirt and grime that can build up inside, the...

The washer method is fine, but now you've got 3 nuts and up to 3 washers to keep track of whenever you take it off, instead of just the 3 nuts.

Political correctness is now a caricature of itself. "As college campuses have become bastions of rigorously enforced political correctness, the limits on speech have come crashing down in the real world, with the presumptive Republican nominee for president dishing out macroaggressions on a...
