If you want a cheap, quick, and easy window covering for a truck... We use SUPER jumbo pop up sun shields you can buy at Wal-Mart for about $9. They install in seconds and fold up just as quick. They fold up small and flat for easy storage. [I must admit it took me a few seconds to learn how...

Our 2001 truck has almost a million miles on it. We have had miniscule problems with it. I will be the first to admit I personally know next to nothing about the mechanics of our truck but I do know that my spouse routinely replaces "thingys" that are not broken or what I perceive sometimes to...

Our good friends have a 2006 M2 Freightliner, C-9 Cat engine and they just had the same type problem. Their truck would show the engine protect and even shut off a couple of times because the coolant got too low. Their problem was a hose by a shock in the engine compartment…the vibration of...

We have a pusher and it takes the weight off the steers. Think of it like a see-saw...the pusher axle drops in front of the drives almost in the middle of the box thereby lifting the weight off both the rear and the front. Without the pusher axle, we would be unable to be a D unit with FedEx as...

We have a 2001 with the 106 Detroit 50 series with the Allison HD 6 speed automatic transmission and would buy another one if they still made them. Our truck does not owe us a thing. We have almost 900,000 miles on it and have had zip problems. I should point out though, we have been real...

We have a Freightliner 106 and two light bulbs just blew out behind the air pressure gauges. We can not figure out how to replace them? Do we have to buy the entire dash unit? The bulbs appear to be incased within a plastic unit with no way visible to open it up? Any help would be appreciated...

PANther2- I am curious as to what your leak was from. I looked at my response and realized it looks like a crazy answer but this is what happened with our truck as the exhaust traveled back into the parking valve. Thus; it sounded like parking valve was leaking. -mcbride- --What goes around...

We have Allison heavy duty 6 speed automattic transmission and would never go back to the manual again. We have had zippo problems with it. (we have almost 900,000 miles on our truck) We did have the transmission fluid replaced when vehicle was new with the synthetic fluid, which was quite...

It may not be your parking brake valve. We had a similar problem and after replacing the parking brake valve still had the apparent leaking "sound". What in fact was happening the rear "pancake" was the brake leaking. We replaced both of the those in the rear of the truck...no more leaking...

We have a freightliner with a pusher axle and "poorjoe" just replaced all of the air bags himself. It took about 20 minutes a bag. The biggest pain, I think, lol, was jacking up the rear of the truck. All I can warn you is: make sure you get the RIGHT airbags. If you want to speak with...

Your reply begs the question...Why go back if each time the experience is akin to having a root canal done?????? Not wishing to speak for DD but it has been our experience that many repair facilities will not touch a problem/repair specific to Alumi-bunk. In addition, our experience has been...

We have the Allison heavy duty 6 speed automatic transmission and a Detroit 50 series engine in our truck. We were told up front to expect 1 to 2 miles ~less~ per gallon compared to the same truck with the Detroit 50 series and the auto shift. I forgot to add that we weight 26,000# completely...

This also happened to us as well. We were lucky too as we saw the smoke before it burst into flames. We had incidental damage and had to have another QC put in...needless to say we went to another location to have the new QC installed. They indicated to us that the people who installed the...
