    valve adjustment

    The soot is probably a clogging or clogged injector. Last year I complained on this site as to why everytime the truck sat for more than a day and I fired it up my roof and box were covered in specs of soot. Finially the truck started running very rough, took it in and they did another...

    HOS (HOUR OF SERIVE) NEWBIE

    Correct me if I am wrong, but I have been DOT'd 3 times now for log books. I have never put down Post Trip Inspection unless the next day I was going to only flag it and not show a 15 minute for a Pre-Trip. Also I will combign the Post Trip with a Fuel and still only show 15 minutes. My...

    Dot inspection

    If you have a side compartment door put it inside there. When I purcahsed my truck they put it on the outside compartment door, its still there and the new one on the inside. I need to remove the outside one, I do not like the idea of my phone # and name being on plain view all of the time.

    valve adjustment

    I caution you on that its way to long, its very inexpensive compared to what could happen if it is not done sooner. I had mine done at 90K and I could imm. tell a big difference, much quiter. Cost on a Cummins was around $300.

    smoke removal

    OK Flame but how does not apply this. I can wash this entire truck with my solution in one hour or less including engine and lower frame. Polishing the entire truck takes an entire day (TOMMOROW) Daughter has a boyfriend actually (hundreds) but this kid is the only one who knows how to work...

    new truck

    What I am confused at is (and its not really any of my business) but you posted it twice is that your gona keep putting more $ for improvements into this truck. When I ordered my truck I carefully went over everything 100 times. If it would not generate enough $ in one year or less to pay...

    Zoned out driver

    Very smart to make the left lane an only passing lane ALL STATES should do this. Just for the road rage aggrivation. As for pacing for miles between a 18 wheeler and an ignorant 4 wheeler I feel you were correct in light flashing. The Swift Truck should have had some common sense to see...
