    Big Truck I work on Hino trucks. I'll answer any questions I know the answers to.

    Most of the cracked flexplates I've come across sound like a main bearing knock. If it only does it going down the road under a load, then I think that it's worth looking over the driveline again. Does the noise show up again under coast, going downhill?

    They do fail. More often than not, they just quit and never restart, and make almost no fuel pressure at all. If it runs at all, it's probably a fuel restriction causing P0087. Very, very common. Everything in International's current lineup pisses me off. That Terrastar, that's one ugly...

    Edit: I didn't see your first post. Oops. Hold on a minute. That hasn't stopped anyone else, haha. Yes, common problem there. If you dig deep enough, you'll find debris where it is hindering fuel flow. Edit: Don't forget to check the 90 degree supply fitting coming out of the tank...

    Ryder trucks .. Need help

    Well, that requires a multi-faceted answer. Well managed fleets are ones that go through great effort to maximize profit. Sometimes this involves stretching maintenance to the point where it's bordering on insufficient. A well run fleet can toe this line. Then the trucks are replaced before...

    Another: http://i.imgur.com/I0uhCAO.jpg. He put on several more layers after this pic was taken, reinforcing a wide area. Pretty impressive work, but it took him forever. Idk if he's just slow or if it just takes that long to do. But he appears to be a perfectionist. A quality I admire, but...

    air bag springs for alumabunk

    It's sometimes a lot easier to remove one, measure the dimensions, then match it to something comparable. I have to do this all the time especially with older or custom setups. And that price is reasonable.

    Ryder trucks .. Need help

    A guy bought a used truck from a local Ryder. The check engine light came on and the owner brought it to us for an assessment. When I got in the truck, it was also crying for a manual regen, which I found odd. The fuel filter had been installed wrong. This was the source of the code for low...
