I got it done at Bell Tire on Dix road near Detroit. They handle large truck tires. The Bell Tire in Allen Park MI will be able to soon. How are you guys doin?

Well, I did it. I decided to put nitrogen in all my tires. I went yesterday and had Crossfire gauges installed and then had nitrogen put in. While they were working on the truck I talked with the tech about how good the nitrogen REALLY works, not what the sales types say. He claimed that it...

I need some input. I read somewhere on here about the numbers off the oil analysis sheets. I seem to remember that the TBN or BN and the vicosity were the biggies. My last report had a TBN of 8.5 and vicosity of 14.4. What do these numbers tell me? I need to know more about this. DO I need to...

Check this out, I was there over the past week. I tried to buy chains but no one had them yet and many shops were not aware of the new law. Layoutshooter A few changes have been made to Colorado’s chain law in recent months in hopes of improving travel along the I-70 corridor and throughout...

Yes we did a re-tap. I am going to put on a Femco drain plug system. No one will ever have to take out a plug again. Yes, Speedco did a GREAT jog for me. Layoutshooter.

I had just pulled into the Western Branch Detroit Diesel Service when my phone rang, it was Speedco. They talked with me for a few minutes and then told me that they would pay to have the pan re-tapped. They said that they think the main problem is the Mercedes use of an aluminum pan and steel...

WE MADE IT!!! Delivered early, will grab a bite then off to the Detroit Diesel shop to see about fixing this thing Thanks to all again. Layoutshooter

THanks for the info. Does FedEx have things worked out with the "J" about the fuel reciepts or do you still have to send them in? Layoutshooter

Hey guys, how you doin? We have not tried the T-check at a "J" yet. Can you use it at the pump like at the other stops or do you need a "J" account. It will be nice to get an on-line system up. Layoutshooter.

I want to thank everyone again for all the concern and help. With your help we are able to unload in the morning and then get to a repair shop without being forced into making choices. I am glad that so many in here put the person first, my kind of people. Layoutshooter

Cheri IS right, it just seems that those ideals are not always followed as they should be and I was trilled to see that there are still several people that still put people first. Layoutshooter

They have always called me out for the torque. I did NOT initial the part about the oil drain plug, only the tranny and rear end. No worry Greg, I will start working on the real fix as soon as I unload the truck on Tues. I might be goofy but not crazy!!! HEHEHE. Thanks again to EVERYONE for your...

Post more info on the filters if you get a chance. Layoutshooter

Well, I had an expandable rubber oil filler plug put in at the TA in Wytheville. It has worked so far. We made it as far as Charleston WV. Only 24 miles to go on Tuesday morning. Cross you fingers but we have a chance!!! Thanks to all here, what a great resource this is. Layoutshooter

Hey VavMan, ANYTHING could have happened. They tried plumbers tape at Speedco but it did not work. I still think Speedco is a fault, they said nothing about the plug being too loose or too tight when they took it out. Who knows. Layoutshooter

I am going to try a plug today, I think it will hold till I can drop this load on Tues. I will be in contact with Speedco on Tues as well. I did not see them put the plug in, they had put it in and the oil was in. They called me out to witness the "torqing of the plugs" as normal and it would...

I have their sheet that they gave me there. I will most likely have to get a lawyer on it. Who knows if that will be worth the cost and effort and time. I am going to try to plug it in the morning, like you say, just to hold it to get this load off. There is a DD service center 20 miles from...

LOL, come on PHil!!! It's my night to do things like that!!! Wytheville, VA. Got it? HEHEHE. Ya have to laugh or go nuts!!! Layoutshooter

I need all the good luck I can get, things have NOT been at their best lately. Layoutshooter

I just love this forum, I ALWAYS get such great ideas!!! Not sure Bob, no one here will even look at it until Tuesday. That is why I am looking for a temp fix to get me up the road. FedEx is havnig trouble finding anyone to take this and they are not sure if the customer will let them break the...
