    Dyno Testing Damage?

    At the quoted 700.000 per injector,Idont think that is too bad, if labor is involved.I would stay with getting them done at a detroit dealer, using oem injectors for the warranty and performance.

    Insta-Fleet Owner?

    And most likely the only carriers that would put something on that old would be some smaller ones, or if it passed Landstars dot inspection, maybe there.Might be good local delivery trucks once they are straightened out.

    Driving a straight rig w/o a cdL?

    I have ordered several straight trucks with air ride/air brakes that were 26,000 gvw,sleeper equipped, not requiring a cdl, in the state of ohio, used for cross-country hauling. It was explained to me as being a gray area form the dot when I inquired about it before ordering these trucks, and...

    Driving a straight rig w/o a cdL?

    No, you cannot register a truck that has a gvw rating of 33k to a gvw rating of 26k. I did it, and got raked over the coals by a ohio dot for that, got the 8 separate tickets to prove it.

    Low Clearance Solutions

    I would think it is called common sense, and depth perception.Especially with trucks sitting as high up as they are, it is not all that difficult to sense when a bridge is lower than a truck.I used to run NYC 3 times a week, multiple drops, and never had a meeting with a low bridge, knock on wood.

    I loved the small loads, they paid alot more per mile than large ones, and could make a good day if a person got enough of them that day.That is what I did in 89, and I made a killing at it, while being able to be home at night 5 times and weekends off. But,of course, things were different back...

    Performance/Mileage Enhancement

    That's what I am wondering..It always worked well in my big truck.I once had the air filter in my big truck clog up at 25,000 miles to the point where it sucked the air tubes closed going to the turbo. I usually changed them every 30,000 miles, so after that, I went to changing them every...

    Performance/Mileage Enhancement

    Here's the deal. I bought the van from Ryder with 180,000 miles on it, the restiction gauge was not really showing any kind of restriction at all, but the filter was black, and full of dirt,(which makes me wonder about their maintenance program) so I changed it.Alot better performance, and...

    Carrier APU Starter Problem

    My Powertech 7.5 kw generator had a Kubota d-905e engine (3 cyl) that had a custom-made aluminum waterneck on it made by a vendor of powertech. It was not an original equipment waterneck.I bought the generator brand new.

    Performance/Mileage Enhancement

    I appreciate the info.And although I do not doubt your knowledge, wouldnt this be a liability issue ? Is this with any high performance air filter, or just K&N? It seems I go through too many filters on my 7.3, and wanted to go this route, using a re-useable filter.

    Performance/Mileage Enhancement

    I would think things such as a K&N air filter, free-flowing exhaust would help a great deal without really altering the vehicle.

    That was a nice ending.There was a time when my freind and I ran airfreight dedicated for a company in Nashville back in 1998. It seems he hadthis thing about standing on his step and peeing at 5 am. So I took a condom and strategically placed it on his step, filled with mayonaise.He stepped on...

    A Dumb Questions on License Plates

    I dont know where you live or how the laws are there, but I live in Ohio, and I plated my van for over 10,000 gvw,truck plate. Even though it is 9,400 gvw from the factory. I did this for the reason to avoid e-check, even though it is a diesel. And the only stupid question is one not asked.Your...
