Last night I went to sleep with 999850 miles on my truck, while my wife was drivng in the middle of the night, we were given a special blessing. Our truck was reborn and it now has LESS miles on it than when we picked it up from the dealer. As I type my odo reads 000278, a miracle! Sent from...

I changed a frozen fuel filter, got back rolling and wham frozen again, I limped into the TA bought some de-geller, tried to top off the tanks and couldn't cause all their fuel hoses were frozen solid as well. I guess I'm going home for the winter

I have lots of water coming into my box from above, yet I can't see where its coming from, I m assuming that factory roof sealing has finally crapped out. It looks to me the only reliable way to fix it is to cut all the rivets, scrape out the old caulking and reattach the sheet metal. Is this...

I just turned in my 6 mos FECC inspection, part of that is filling out a maintence record sheet. The surprising thing to me was in having spent 17.5k on maintence in the last 6 mos, running around 90k miles. My truck has about 900k miles on it and is a Hino. Any thoughts? High, Low, Par...

I have 790k miles on my hino, it has started having overheatin issues. It was actin like a head gasket. To make a lon story short we pulled the head and tye gasket looked fine. They sent the head out to xray for cracks and it is fine. However the head shop said about half the valves failed to...

I have been having recurring problems with my serpantine belt splitting offf a sectction at time, my pulleys all seeem tight and they run true, this is the 3rd belt in as many months, Any ideas?

Is .15 high low or average for maintenance expenses. This includes tires, oil, washs, inspections, wipers, anything that physically goes on the truck or the labor to put it there. The last two years this is how it has worked out. This seems high to me, but I don't know. I have a 2007 Hino 338...

I recently installed the Donvel air bags and air controllers on my truck. The whole kit came to around 1k. I did the installation myself, it took about 10 hours, mainly because I had issues getting some old seized fittings loose. After about a week of using them I can say I wish I had heard...

How many miles is typical for a class 7 diesal water pump. I have 480k

I have noticed whenever I buy fuel at TA my truck sounds terrible. Knocking valvex louder turbo, more vibration. These symptoms disappear when I run Pilot fuel. Has anyone else noticed this pn there truck or is it a mental issue with me.

How often do you guys change your shocks, I for the first time changed the shocks on my HINO, 350k miles - which my mechanic thinks is KRAZY. I noticed the ride in the rear of the truck had become sloppy, the front shocks had resistance on the pull but not the push, so I guess they are shot too...

I have a carrier/pro heat Gen 4, Recently I have been getting an intermitant "CRANK LIMIT" error. Which means the unit is not starting and giving up. When this problem occurs the starter does nothing. No clicks or movement of any kind. This is an intermitant issue. When starters die do...

I had a head gasket failure on my truck, its at the dealer now. They pulled the ecm and the truck has never over-temped. So I'm a little puzzled. A factory defect should have shown up long before now I think. The truck is a Hino, the mechanic tells me he rarely sees this failure with a hino...

I have a carrier APU, which is basically the same as a ProHEAT, and it has been nothing but a nightmare for me. Having said that I have learned a few tips, from NON-Carrier dealers as to why they are crappy, and what can be done to make them work better. Tip 1, From Applied Industrial...

Is anybody out there running wide singles on their straight truck. According to Michellins web site they have a lower trouble call percentage than dual set ups, and Kevin on XM seems to like them. I just put Michellins on the front and they sure do ride better than the bridgestones I had

I think I have had enough of expediting - It looks like I'm about 20k upside down in my straight truck, do truck dealers roll upside down money into a new loan. I'll probably have to buy a used tractor for this to even be possible any thoughts?

Last night my wife was listening to her ipod though the truck radio, she sias she heard a pop and now we have alternator whine coming through the radio when we use a cigarete lighter adapter powered accessory. Like xm radio or ipods when not on battery. There is no whine on the regular radio...

My Carrier APU is crapped out again. This time it only lasted a month. I think all the refrigerant has leaked out of it AGAIN. So I'm in Dallas and it not even really hot. Well anyway, I looked under the bunk and the top half of the condenser was frozen solid while the bottom half was almost...

Friday I rear ended a car at a stoplight. Luckliy nobody was hurt and there was little damage to either vehicle (paint scrapes) so I was slowing down and the automatic either got stuck in 2 gear or the lock-up torque converter didn't release. I was practically standing on the brake and...
