    who does Oil Analysis

    Yep, Speedco does oil analysis but be sure the sample they use is from your truck. Had one done and they gave me a print out for someone elses truck. They said it was just becauce they put the wrong truck info in the computor when they did the printout. So I asked how did they know for sure this...

    Mercedes Benz MB-900 EGR Valve/Cooler

    Thanks for you guy's replies. In all the replacements I've had done no one has been able to give me a reason why for all the failures. Yes, after the previous repair to the one I just had done they did put the check valve on so juries still out on that "fix" since I still had a...

    Hey guys, got email from EO about new A/C from Espar. Apparently battery operated. Checked their website and it does not show this new product. Have'nt called them yet. I have seen other battery powered units in internet sites. Anyone have any experience with this type of unit.

    Roof top A/C

    Thanks guys for your input. Mounting,wiring,fuel tank,gen set (diesel or gas) a lot to consider. Getting it done's the hard part but with all the idling laws popping up, it seems like a neccesity. Thanks again.

    Roof top A/C

    Is there anyone out there installed who has had a roof top air conditioner and diesel gen set installed on their straight truck? Need help/advise to do this. Seems this would be cheaper and more efficient that the expensive APU's out there. Thanks

    Truck Decal Removal

    Thanks everyone so far for your imput. I have removed lettering with a blow dryer and a heat gun with relative ease (though somewhat time consuming)but have not tried the big logos.

    Panther advertisement on EO

    Just saw an advertisement for Panther team drivers on EO. This is not for O/O's but obviously for drivers because it posts rates for drivers,not trucks. Anyone know what's the deal here? Are they now going to own their own fleet? If so, this scares the hell out of me being a one truck team. I...

    Scuba, we are OOS sick with colds right now but just read all about this new system and I figured there would be a lot of comments about it on here but I guess everyone is too busy (not likely) or too confused as I am (maybe I'm missing something). I spoke with a dispatcher friend who I have...

    Davekc - been with Panther almost 6 years and this is the worst month we have ever had. Good load centers are swamped with trucks and no where to go within reason and now it appears we are becomming more of a delivery service. Are we becomming the industry leader in mini and less than 300 mile...
