When I bought the T300 we did oil samples on the engine, trans and RE, reports indicated the trans and diff were slightly dirty but nothing excessive so I went ahead and addressed other things first. As the weather got warmer (ok, hot for these parts) it got more clunky and more reluctant to...

On the to do list for this weekend is installing: Dynamat on the floor, ceiling, walls and doors Routing CB cable & install antennas- (truck didn't come with one) Replace spot mirrors with heated ones Install new Seats, inc seat. Install new midship signals For anyone contemplating...

Just starting to rip out the interior and Dynamat everything - Can someone tell me how these plastic covers are held on and how to remove them.......before I destroy one trying?

I don't know that I can bare to put freight in there any more. If you look at the before photo you can kind of see how the T&G floor was starting to break up (truck was leased to a nursery, I think they had metal racks in there) so the options were a replace the existing floor, replace with...

YouTube - Bobble head kitty taking a nap on the truck

Driver called this morning and he's busted the drivers side OEM camper mirror, its the long ones on a 14' cutaway van - $565 replacement cost. This being his third one in 27 months I don't see myself replacing it with the OEM ones. I found these Retrac mirriros, two of them would be less than...

Maybe I just never noticed this before but the last few days I've noticed that when I start the truck in the morning the voltmeter remains at 12v for several minutes before popping up to 14 where it should be. It does increase with rpm but drops back to 12 then after a few minutes it pops right...

Well, I got hold of the KW factory dash bracket and wow, way bigger than my baby Midland 79-290 (LCD/detachable face) so I guess I am in the market for a new radio but don't know where's a good place to get one. Now I could get one off the shelf from the local dealer, order one from any number...

Did you know that Canadian Coke tastes different than the Coke you get here at home where it originated? I head there was a difference so got a bottle of each ad just did a taste test - the difference is quite noticeable. It seems USA Coke is made with high fructose corn syrup whereas Canuck...

Since I have a seat to install and also need to run coax for the CB (never equipped with one) I was thinking that since the drivers seat and headliner need removing anyway - I might remove the other seat, interior panels and floor mat and line the roof, walls, floor and door skins with Dynamat...

Set down a while - this is a real comedy of errors. Yesterday I get a letter from DOT saying they tried on three separate occasions to contact me to schedule a new carrier safety audit and since all three failed they consider it refusal to submit and give 10 days from the date of notice (April...

oops wrong forum

I was just at the dealer and found out that if you are or want to order some parts which would require a question from PACCAR parts technical - as of 4/28, 2009 there will be a $100 charge assessed to the dealer who will graciously pass that fee on to YOU. is it me or how is this good for...

Question for you 3126 owners. I was talking with the mechanic the other day and he seems to think there is a trans bearing failing due to some noise that occurs at idle and on shut down. When idling there is a sort of rattling noise that will go away when you either raise the rpm slightly...

Having been in the T3 a while now, I gotta say the gearing is shall we say........lacking. Don't know where or what this truck was specked for but it wasn't made for these parts. (got a stretched frame too) Set up with a 3126/250, 10spd OD(.75) 11R-22.5 drives and a 4.63 RE. Its getting about...

Yesterday I purchased and downloaded their IFTA software, read the instructions but thought I would call support on a couple of questions before using it. Spoke with Don (I think) who does most of the tech support and web design. First off, before we started he emailed me a newer version they...

Well, spring has sort of sprung (rumours of wet snow Monday) and the bugs are out happily sacrificing themselves on my windshield so I'm thinking a bug deflector might be in order. There seems to the stainless/chrome KW/Mirrex and a smoke plastic one. Obviously the plastic one will not be as...

overall the T300 is much less annoying than the M2 was but I got a squeak noise about ear level (of course) somewhere around the upper rear of the drivers door that I can't figure out where its coming from. Have tried pulling on the door, lowering the window and pulling on it, stuck a napkin...

The one in my T300 seems very cold blooded, even after running 15 minutes it takes another 3 miles driving before it gets up to 125F and produces any cab heat. The one in the M2 was a bit cold blooded as well but was blowing somewhat warm air after 10 or so minutes and the temp was up to 125F...
