    Need advice regarding warranty denial

    Update: after many conversations back and forth with the shop, a call was put in to the salesman. He had his service manager call the shop and suddenly, the truck is now getting an inframe rebuild. And because they can't prove that anything was done wrong on our end, it will be covered under...

    Need advice regarding warranty denial

    Another thought. I've heard of Ooida but don't really know anything about them. Is this situation something that they could help with? Maybe give advice on what steps to take? Sent from my Pixel XL using EO Forums mobile app

    Need advice regarding warranty denial

    You say to work with a rep. Are you talking about someone at the dealership or with Detroit? The thought of reaching out to the salesman hadn't occurred due to the truck being 3 years old. At your suggestion, a phone call will be made to him. Couldn't hurt I would love to hear from the...

    Need advice regarding warranty denial

    Freightliner M2 with a DD13. 274,000 miles. 3 years old. Warranty good for 4 years, 500,000 miles. Coolant was getting engine oil in it. Had it towed to shop. Verdict was engine cooler module was bad due to coolant eating thru housing. Was told $7700 for repair and no warranty coverage due to...

    Single axle. 11r22.5. Have the Continentals that came on it from the factory. 265,000 miles. Needing replaced due to tread depth getting lower. Still legal but ready to replace. Wondering what tires people have had good experience with. Sent from my Pixel XL using EO Forums mobile app

    AGM Batteries

    Also, a big selling point for me was the fact that these batteries have a 4 year warranty. Non prorated. Can't beat that! Sent from my Pixel XL using EO Forums mobile app

    AGM Batteries

    We just bought the Northstar NSB AGM 31 batteries. Got them at Freightliner. Much cheaper than the Odyssey and have the same specs. We paid $298 a piece. Have only had them a week so can't really talk you much yet on performance because we've been at home. Sent from my Pixel XL using EO Forums...

    New seats or NOT

    I don't know. Looking at the seats website it looks like theirs are like that. I've got a call into them but waiting for them to return the call so I can ask. Sent from my Pixel XL using EO Forums mobile app

    New seats or NOT

    Sorry to bring an old post out, but I'm researching getting a new drivers seat in a Freightliner M2. Was wondering how the excalibur seat worked out for you. Did you put it in an M2 and did you have to use any kind of adapter to get it in due to the sloped floors? If anyone else has any...

    New trucks & antigel

    We do have an apu that will be running. It uses the trucks coolant so it will be warm and draws diesel fuel from the trucks tanks but not sure that would be enough to keep from gelling?

    New trucks & antigel

    Reading the manual for a new DD13 motor and it says not to use additives in fuel or oil. What are people with the new motors doing in the cold weather to prevent gelling?

    Direct Tv in the Truck?

    Does anyone have direct tv service in their truck? We are thinking about switching to it at home and would like to use it in the truck as well if possible. What kind of receiver do you use in the truck? I've tried talking to Direct Tv but everyone I've talked to seems pretty clueless. I know its...

    Rigmaster APU problems

    We have had our rigmaster for two years now and never had a problem with it losing prime or being primed after service. Our prior truck had a proheat and it constantly lost prime. The main difference that I see between the two is how they were installed. The proheat had a line down into a...
