You said that it was an intermittent misfire? Maybe it is a worn valve spring? I remember having this issue on one of the vehicles that the company I used to work for and it ended up being a worn out valve spring, it only had like 90,000 miles on it at that time, but after the valve spring was...

Never thought about the dye, but this leak is really puzzling me, I have degreased everything thoroughly , run it up as high as the fast idle setting will go and watch for the leak but have not seen where it is. It's strange too when I change the oil it does not leak for 5000 or so miles...

I have been trying to figure out where the oil is leaking from and I had a small coolant leak coming from the oil cooler assembly. Fixed the coolant leak but the oil leak is still there, going to replace the oil pan gasket next, the dealer said it was the front main seal but I replaced it and it...

I can't comment on the cost for the turbo but I had to remove the turbo on my Hino to replace the orings behind the oil filter housing and total time for me to remove and reinstall the turbo was 3 hours. If I would have had air tools it would have been even less .

And I thought it was just me, every time I pass through those scales in KY they pull me in for an inspection....

Or the big show, at 7 feet and 425 lbs his calculated BMI is. 42.9......

Resting for the night at the pilot in Syracuse NY have a drop in Kingston ON and then down near Toronto to pick up a load going to Cleveland. Crossing my fingers that I get a load to Florida next week so I can take care of a few more items on the honey do list ....

Randy Orton is 6'5" and weighs 235 lbs which calculates to a bmi of 27.9.... That's hilarious since he probably had less than 1% body fat....

At the pilot in Newburgh NY thankfully the weather isn't too cold, wonder what the odds I will be deadheading back to Ohio.....

Pembroke NY at the J, lets see if my streak of NEVER getting a load out of Buffalo continues....

And I will add a 3rd request to remove Buffalo, which is where I am now, and have never had a load out of here, as soon as my 10 hours is up I will DH back home to Ohio.

In Ohio, as long as its under 26k, even if it has air brakes, you don't need a CDL. When I first started in a straight truck, I thought the same, but looked up the rules, here is the link: ODPS | BMV | Frequently Asked Questions I don't know if it will come up right, but you will see the...

The company I run for has a couple of 2012 Freighliners with the Cummins engine in them, both of them have had issues with not starting, one had all of the injectors replaced under warranty. And I drove the other one this week into Canada (working on my truck) and its probably going to have the...

Yes that is a good point, I'm sure their reasoning was that the typical truck runs way more miles than your average car, which would wear it out faster and would be replaced anyway. One point to make is that if you only make one or two trips to CA every year, you can register with CARB, and...

Ouch, been there done that, first time by the time I got to the hospital and into the catscan, the stone had passed and it was over. The second time it happened I didn't get so lucky, a couple of days after I passed the stone, I was back in pain, ended up with a kidney infection, spent the night...

I wouldn't worry about a natural gas mandate, the emissions from a CNG equipped truck and a 2010 MY diesel engine are pretty close, especially when it comes to the emission that was targeted with the SCR, which is NOx. when it comes to CO2, the natural gas engine is 25% less. Right now, a CNG...

I take it you all run trucks that are over 26k? If you are under 26k, you still have time for CA, as a 05/06 truck would good until January 1st 2021

Just out of curiosity does your van use a little bit of coolant? If it does that might explain why one side is clogged and not the other, might have a tiny head gasket leak.

Have them pull the oxygen sensor out on that side and take it for a ride, it will be loud as hell and set a code for the sensor being removed but if the misfire is gone you know the converter is clogged.
