If you have their MC #, do a lookup on them through FMCA or USDOT. They will have any info available on these guys. Ok?

Tony; I have an M-11 in my '96 FLD112, 10spd and 4.11 rear single axle. While it's easy on the fuel and the pocket book, it'll handle the mountains of the Western US just fine! And if does need rebuilding, it's affordable. Researched it a lot before getting it. Good Luck, treat it well, their...

The only tolls I know of in the western US are e470 in Colorado, and the bridges in the Bay Area of California. Tolls in Idaho & Wyoming??? No way...........:7

I earned my 'nickname' @ a scalehouse in Montana in the '70's before they had commercial vehicle enforcement. The scalemaster was a handicapped character, loved giving every driver he could crap and sometimes at night, he'd operate the scalehouse with no lights on inside. It was snowing, I...

RE: Atkins - Point of view from the Lady of the Ho Howdy, just wandered in here & looked around. Reading the posts on Atkins has been interesting. I am glad to see yall are doing well with it. The following is true and a condensed, not so pretty story. Back in 2000, I was engaged to a very...

RE: FMSCA Clarifies ambiguous and controversial HO Thanks Weave! I learn something new everyday & will send the link to my brother for him to consider using in his trucking company. As for me, it's going on my laptop for damn sure. Hello Mista CHP Occifer, I'm running legal...:+ PS- For...

Hey Weave? :P

Hey Weave, I was trying to think of how to best explain it without a lot of detail, here I go with a long version again. The range selector is mounted high & to the drivers side on all Fuller transmissions. On yours, you should have two airlines (tiny as heck) that run from the shift lever...

You may want to have the tension of the wiper arms checked. By that I mean the amount of downward force put on the wiper blade. After that about the only cause could be the aerodynamics of the hood (which can be a real pain in the butt). The use of a quality bug deflector can help to reduce...

Geoguy? You should go back to that shop if their local & point out to them that tires are supposed run straight ahead not toe'd to the left or right. As far as mixing brand names? Whatever works for you works for me. *customer satisfaction is job one*

RE: FMSCA Clarifies ambiguous and controversial HO Not sure if I am correct about this. In California & other western states, 'off duty' time is the time you spend out of the truck, presumablyar rest in a motel/hotel, domicile, resturaunt? or any period of time spent totally away from the unit...

Not having seen your unit, I'll place a bet on it being a Red Dot. They also carry replacement components, parts ect. their addy: http://www.rdac.com/index.html

Howdy gang! I've found my back to EO. I've relocated to Boise Idaho from Washington State and finally getting settled in. Hope everyone has been doing Ok. Another thing to look at on the Ford AOD's is the trans oil pan. Ford in their infinite wisdom, put out two different tranny pans. One is...

RE: van, My response above: For some odd reason I recall the Ford econolines using twin I Beam not A-arms. The F Series pickups had them then so I'm thinking the van's had them also. In one thread above, someone mentioned disconnecting the pitman arm and turning the steering wheel. Do that...

It will have a negative impact on your fuel economy. Unless you need four drive where you run all the time, I'd stick with part time or go with a two drive.

RE: Hybrid Electric Diesel; A Sign of Things to Co Tag Tony! Yer a weirdo! HAHAHA! I am in full agreement about the hybrid. Weren't they originally intended for metro and car use?

iaye are a rOOkie! yezterdday i wanted to be a mechenic, today iaye are wun! *flub*! < stickin' muh tongue out> HEHEHEHE!

In backup to Weaves answer. Check the negative ground terminal at the batteries AND the frame ground connector post. Do it yourself or have your favorie mech do it every oil change faithfully. Dis-assemble it, swipe several times all the way around with a small hand held wire brush. Next, coat...

Ford uses upper and lower ball joints. No A frames are involved. Your E150 uses an upper arm & a lower arm which attaches midway to the cross-member underneath your engine. It takes an air wrench driven C clamp looking tool to extract the joints. Normally its called a jont extraction tool...

Howdy Weave & Gang! I've been out of things for a while. Been doing job interviews around the country. Glad your mech got the leak found. That black residue is your refrigeration oil. make sure he does a thorough system clean up, preferably a 24 hour evacuation procedure. After that , your...
