We just had one done not too long ago. My advise is to go to Stewart and Stevens in Dallas TX. Total cost was $98.00. Ask for Kenny in the transmission shop. They are a authorized dealer for Allison. I was quoted a flat $300 by two other shops. The mode is for economy. One for city, and one for...

Different tires may have different requirements, but we have taken the front right drives and moved them to the back on the left side. Then back left to the front right. We scheduled this at roughly 100,000 miles. Check brakes,bearings, seals at this time and R&R the shocks. Others may...

Great show guys. Not near long enough. You should do a few more. Davekc

Depending on the engine, if batteries are poor, but the alternator is good, it will still effect the computer or in some cases throw a fault code because the ECM monitors the alternator discharge. If it senses there isn't a discharge, it codes that as a problem. Again, depending on the engine...

How would you like Howard Stern and Jerry Springer to design your truck? Would it be a T-300 with pasties on its grill? Certainly a option that we haven't considered.:7 Davekc

Not a thing, but hopefully all that were involved are ok. Davekc

Once a year if you are paying, and twice if you are not. Best time is right before winter when the demands on your batteries are the greatest. Then, I would do them in the spring to ensure there are no grounding and or corrosion issues. Davekc owner 21 years

I agree with the others that this is a old topic that was addressed awhile back. The only issue I see is that they are stating this is a current policy based on past statements by one of their drivers. If they are being effected today as the post states, I would think that is a current issue...

That would be frightening:7 Davekc

Did you use a team of "high level engineers" to come up with your setup?:7 Sounds like you have got your truck speced. Davekc

After a couple of issues eary on, it sounds like they are working well for most. It will be interesting to see how far they go prior to a replacement or rebuild. Great info Davekc

I personally have no knowledge of whatever Tri-State's west coast plan is. My big three with a west coast freight base are Panther, Fedex, and Landstar. You could throw Conway in there also. All of these companies have trucks on the coast. Davekc

It was one of our trucks but not us. Our team was going from Laredo to Alliston ON when you spotted them. Great couple. Say hey to them the next time you see them. Your right, it was the KW with the monster sleeper. Davekc owner 21 years >Yes, Teams will always make more money... whether...

Could be several items depending on what type of engine. The basics based on your post is a siezure within the fuel pump selenoid. Especially if it is bypassed and everything runs ok. If it still quits, then there is a host of other items based on the engine type. Davekc

It is a long post, but you can PM me with your number. I will tell you the exact process. Davekc owner 21 years

After training the trucking company pays .30 for all miles + tolls + unloading + multiple stops, etc. Average miles per week according to my friend is 2500-2700. I figure that would be a little over $800 before taxes. As a solo in a D-Unit could I come close to that? Could I make more then that...

Kinda like a sports team. In many instances you may get several people that are good, but having them work together in unison can be much different. This is where the value of experience comes in. One must be able to determine outcomes, prior to there implementation. Failure in that regard...

I agree with davekc, i had two trucks with lift gates and those two cost more to insure. even though that was 15 years ago, it is stil the same today You are correct. If you have never owned a truck then you wouldn't necessarily know that. For those that do, or have in the past, this is pretty...

I am in agreement, unless it is utilized alot by your carrier, I would never put one on a new truck. It takes a long time to ever recover the costs when everything is averaged in. If it is a used truck, then everything is relavant to what you are paying for it. Companies that do a fair amount of...
