Hi all, I thought I'd start this thread to get some insight and offer what I know as to the new requirements for 2007 Diesel engines... I'll speak to what I've been told by my reps in the Class 3-7 trucks (i.e. Ford, GM-Isuzu and Dodge) The big question is what the manufacturers are going to...

Hi, I believe the owners manual calls for a 15W-40 weight oil...you may want to look that up.... And on the subject...many of you are sold on synthetic oils like (m-1) But in the recent Aug-Sept Land-Line magazine there was a great article indicating that you really have to look what your...

I'd get this looked at ASAP....especially if it is getting as hot as you say ...(i.e. can't touch it)...... Early 2005 models had some "frame grounding" issues...but thats all I've heard and seen Remember these units are assembled in Germany ...and then dis-assembled partially and transported...

You could move the PA (just kidding) Supreme says the weight go up 300-400 lbs...as you are now a wider unit (since you are a duallie) I just did one for a customer and he was at 1700-1800 for the duallie How about a Sprinter chassis cab with a 14' Spartan box with a crew box added before the...

Here in Pa...you can register a vehicle at any GVWR down to the actual weight of the unit. The upffiter will supply you with a 2nd stage MSO and a weight slip....but you are not bound to that ... I regularly register our wholesale parts trucks (16' cube Isuzu NPR's) rated at 12k GVWR...to 9990...

Supreme says the SRW Spartan body at 12' is around 1400 lbs. Using your numbers on the chassis (5000 is about right) you have about 3100 lbs to play with (don't forget fuel an driver).... It would be close.....at 9600# GVWR.... Hope that helps "The Beast in the East"

I have several clients that have found the upgraded seats with the air-operated lumbar support....work pretty well.... Check a Freightliner or Dodge parts dealer for pricing.... Just my 2 cent worth !!! Frank in Pa. "The Beast in the East"

I apologize if this was a true hoax.... What prompted me to send it was the author actually signed his name and phone number to the e-mail (I guess he may be in trouble). The trucking company is a fairly large carrier out of Pittsburgh....and given the way our governor (schmooze Rendell) ran...

Gents (and ladies): Be advised I recieved this from a reliable source: Emailed to me as follows: Subject: Warning to PA residents regarding speeding PA State police will launch a 30-day speeding ticket frenzy throughout the state starting Feb 1, 2006. The State estimates that 22 million...

Thanks hope it all works out.... Just as a side note.....I try to take ownership of the complete process on the vehicle for the order....as a dealer we deliver a complete vehicle...and my motto is: "If I ordered it...I get it fixed"........... Missing E-tracks was a biggy...in my book...since...

Just curious but did you contract with Morgan directly ? Or did you buy the body as part of a complete unit from the truck dealer ??? Really the best way.... If the later is the case..then why did the dealer not handle this for you....????? Or the distributor ??? Sounds like the quality of the...
