Has anyone ever tried to reupholester the reclining bench seat in the AA Sleeper 96" incher? Can the seat be replaced with something from an RV application? And can you even get the whole thing out of the doors without taking the sleeper off the frame? All thoughts/info welcome! The Gibster

OK everyone, not just a gripe post - I need some collective suggestions on how to handle this one: We're in Tampa, Fla trying to get an A/C compressor repaired at the Freightliner dealer and they are completely balking, and refusing to honor the part warranty. The problem is classically...

ISB Cummins in FL70s are well known for their vibration problems, one direct problem associated with them is that the A/C Compressor mounting ears break off at the mounting bracket. Poor bracket design! We've heard that Freightliner in DFW has been able to fabricate another bracket that goes...

With all the talk about going Class 8 and stretching to accomadate the 20' box for expediting, does anyone have any input on who stretches? Do we find a frame shop, a dealership, the box maufacturers? All I've heard is "it's easy, and about a grand to 1500 dollars". Any input welcome! Thanks...

Can anyone help us out? We have the Cummins ISB 250 in our 2000 FL70. We've experienced every fuel problem imaginable, all supposedly a result of design problems with the engine from FRTLNR. The techs we trust tell us there is a *NEW* ISB engine where they have addressed all the engineering...
