We have heard of a lot of trouble in W. Memphis as well. We have be bothered by lots of bums there, more than any place else. Layoutshooter

We are spending a very exciting weekend at the Flying J in Dallas. Fixing chicken lights, installing a new computer stand, wow, what fun. There were TWO trucks robbed here last night. Both had left windows open. One left the side windows open just a crack, the other had a vent window open. Both...

I am not sure but I bet if you put your hand in there you would get bit pretty bad!!! Layoutshooter

I bet Karl Marx would sign this but I won't!!! Yes our government is no longer responsive to the "little man" but that is OUR fault. WE let them get away with it. WE do not require them to do thier job. How do we do this? By not voting. By voting in the same goobers that were elected last time...

WOW, you lost me on that one. Where would I find that out? My manual sucks, it does not even have the basics in it. Like, no fluid capacities etc. I don't even know what you are talking about on that one. Could you please explain that in terms that a mechanical dummy like me can understand? That...

According to the A/C tech all the pressures were within specs. They spent several hours running tests on it both with a cold engine and when it was up to temp. They checked the figures with 2 other shops, all agreeded that all the pressures were correct. The one shop told me about the EGR...

I had the A/C on my truck checked out. All the switches/sensors are working. The coolent is at the right levels and the pressures are correct. The fan still comes on and runs the entire time the A/C is on. On Freightliner told me that on the MB engines it could be a problem with the EGR or EGR...

We live a little south of Monroe, MI. Closer to Toledo than Monroe. We have little trouble getting out, almost easy if you like runs to Canada. We are sitting in QC as we speak. We seldom get runs that take us close to the house. We will DH when we have to. We can normally get within 200 mi or...

We have run out of hours a couple of times. That is pretty busy. Layoutshooter

My wife and I took 6 months to decide what to do. Layoutshooter

10AMP per hour draw will run down most good deep cycle batteries in 10-12 hours. The math is simple. If you have a 100AMP capacity battery and pull 10AMPS per hour it will last 10 hours. There are some other variables but that will give you a very close ball park on run times. Battery AC units...

Most people, myself included, go into business for the freedom. The freedom to suceed or fail on your own efforts. The freedom to take off when you want. Money is often not the best motivator. We like to go out for 4-8 weeks. We take off as long as we want. As stated above I spend a good deal of...

I went to W&B in Houston, they put on a new belt for me. I decided to have them do it so the pulleys would be aligned right. They charged me $123 for that and they left several parts off. They were left on the inside of the housing. I did not see them, they were found when I took it to the shop...

We went. Jan and I enjoyed the FedEx breakfast. We got to see some old friends and put some faces to people who had only been names until then. Always great to make new friends. We tried out alllll the seats. The seats we have now hurt. Of course we like the more expensive ones. We were able to...

The truck I drove when I ran for an owner had a dash mounted switch. It had manual and auto settings. Layoutshooter

Sounds like a good idea, most of the Freightliners I have been to have been less than exciting. Only been to one Detroit Diesel, they were great!!! We shall see what happens. Layoutshooter

When my fan is operating normally it has little effect on the MPG, BUT, when running 24/7 it really kicks it hard. That 25-30HP is a noticable loss too. This just started about 3 weeks ago. Before that it would only come on when the engine temp got too high. Then it would run for 3-5 minutes...

Yea, it is really hurting my MPG!!! One tech said that a re-program of the paramiters might help. My truck is running cool as well, even when the fan is not running. I was told it is time to change the thermastats. Layoutshooter
