It is a shame but I guess this is our fault, sort of. You at least went to legal proceedings on yours, I might end up having to. Everyone who has had these kind of problems should go after Freightliner. It is begining to look like it is more than the dealers. Of course, dealing with a forgien...

Thanks, I will look into it. I was asking about the Lima shop since that is were my seats are coming in. I am willing to go "almost" anywhere to get this other thing fixed. It is costing me about 1/4 to 1/2 mpg. That is adding up fast. Not to mention that god-awful noise and loss of power...

Looks like you got it moved!!! I guess warning the newbies was cool too. I should have thought of that, I would have been a hero!!!! The Freightliner in Albany did a good job on the frayed wire problem we had. Most of the almost $400 was in labor. I could not argue that one, electrical problems...

Thanks, this is getting to be expensive. Would not mind the cost if the repairs worked. I must be getting goofy, why did I put this in the newbies? I meant to put it in truck talk. Guess I have been driving too much. Layoutshooter

It would have been fun but I was working, again!!!! We love it. We have to shut down later this week. New seats going in on Friday if they arrive. Jan's CDL expires on the 23rd so we planned to take next week off. Doctors, dentists, Father's Day, D.O.T., new shocks etc etc etc. Should be back in...

They replaced the expansion valves and the dryer. They flushed the system and re-charged it. They also fixed a leaked drain pipe. They claimed the expansion valves were causing the fan problem. I have not had a chance to call them. I really don't don't know where to try it this time. Anyone ever...

My fan repair lasted 6 days. It is back to running the entire time the AC is on. This is starting to suck. I won't get a chance to have it looked at until Friday at the soonest. I just love wasting money, I have soooo much to spare. Layoutshooter

LOL, Yes I did hear some things in private msgs. I am thankful that most are polite in here. On the other hand, it could have made for some really good comedy!!! By the way, what are landing gear? Layoutshooter

We were on a straight through load but limped it in. The rain had stopped so the connections worked a little better. It is normal wear and tear. I think it is a shame that wires are not protected better than they are. If I were to build a truck I would not run wires against the frame rail. I...

Good luck and welcome to the forum. We are a straight truck team and love it. We talk to a bunch of T/T teams. Some to well, some don't. Attitude is a big player on your sucess or failure. Only the vans seem to be having a hard time right now, who knows, that could always change. Take your time...

More truck troubles or the joy of being an Owner/Operator. This time the transmission started dropping out of gear when we decelarated. It was raining. It sort of cleared up when things dried out. Took it to the Freightliner in Albany, NY. They said that it was in the J3919(I think that is it)...

I picked up my truck today and of course it did not work. The air was cold, the fan cycled just fine but I was getting a check engine light. That was not part of my original problem. I took it right back in and they put the reader on it. It came up showing the low pressure sensor not reading. It...

We accepted one of those "mutiple stop loads" in The Bronx/Manhatten area on purpose. Caught us at a weak monment. We had been sitting for 15 hours and we were getting "itchy" for a load offer. Did not turn out to be too bad. They parked us for 3 days and the customer came to us!! We really...

We have found that most officers who have inspected us have been professional and a couple have been even nice!!! We did have a sticker that was good until June but lost that when the windshield was replaced. layoutshooter

We are able to leave the sleeper curtains open and still stay cool now, at least so far. Been pretty hot and humid in some places already and they have helped keep the entire cab/sleeper area comfortable. We like leaving the sleeper curtains open as much as we can. Makes it feel like we have a...

Hey Bob and Linda, Jan made us some window shades out of the silver inulation stuff they sell at Lowe's etc. The kind that has air bubbles in it. It totallly blocks the light and has dropped the temp inside by several degrees. It makes our ProHeat work much better on the cooling side. Layoutshooter

We took the A/V equipment for the German Ice skating team from Atlantic City to St. John's NF. We watched them skate and then loaded each team members things as they came off the ice. We have have run some much better more interesting high profile runs but I would have to kill you if I told...

Yea, I bet they do the work for free if it does not fix it. That has only EVER happened once in my entire life and it was with this truck. The Detroit Diesel in Caton looked at this problem and did not charge me for the work since they could not fix it. There were contaminates, the reason for...

Yep, been there and done that. I try to make small talk to wake up a bit if it comes in by phone or just take as long as I can for a Clink offer. Bet I screw up more too. I am good at things like that. By the way, who gave you permission to make my kind of mistake? Layoutshooter

I put the truck into the shop at the Freightliner in Orlando on thursday. I talked with them today. They said the the "expansion valves" need replaced, as does the dryer filter. They are flushing the system as well. Price tag is under $700. They assure me that this will fix the problems I am...
