    Running cool

    First off thanks again to Greg and Dave for the advice on my sensor. I just replaced it I haven't checked to see if it works yet. I wanted to find out if it is normal for my engine to idle at 120 degrees and below. The problem is I have no heat in cold weather unless I am moving. As soon as I...

    check engine

    I have my check engine light coming on sporatically. It may be a coincidence but on my last trip as I would go down a hill then back up it would come on then go off. It's as if something is loose or a fluid is low. I checked the oil and the level is fine. Any thoughts???

    Canada Canadian Authority

    Can anyone tell me what is required for a carrier to enter Canada? I know there are bar codes to obtain but that is about it. I am not sure if a bond is needed or not, I have heard several conflicting answers. Half of those I talk with say it is a nightmare and others say no big deal. I have...

    Turn signal

    I have a Freightliner fl60 with a faulty turn signal. It is on the drivers side in the rear. When the lights are off it works fine but when the lights are on the flash is so dim it can be barely be seen. I do not have the problem on the opposite side. I changed the bulb and that did not help...

    Another wiper blade question

    I turned my wipers on the other morning not realizing they were frozen in the off position, and when they unfroze the next time I turned them off they stayed in the upright position. Does anyone know how to get them to lay back down? I tried pushing them but they turned on (even though they...
