I just spent an hour trying to find a method of eliminating water spots when washing my truck or car. I read about ionizing, microtowels, car dry washes, rinses, and where and when to wash it. Over the years I've used about everything out there. The trouble with most of the commercial methods...

I'm always looking at the classifieds and love to check out used trucks. Over the years, I've bought alot of used equipment, and will be buying more in the coming years. When I'm reading an ad for any vehicle, there are turn off points where, unless it has a really good word description of...

I´m taking some time off to enjoy the sun and R%R. I was recently driving south of the border while vacationing, in Mexico and I saw alot of Scania trucks.Most I saw were tractors, but some looked like class 7 applications. Nice looking rigs, and they also obviously make busses too. I had seen...

I don´t often get stuck on an internet search, but I searched all over the net trying to find price comparisons on rebuilding heavy truck engines. Does anyone out there know a web site that lists prices of rebuilding the big engines? Or, does anyone know the average cost of rebuilding a cummins...

Really an interesting concept! Years ago I read an article about trucks of the future. The emphasis was on driver comfort, and they had some really outrageous designs for tractors. After readng the EO article, I was thinking, wouldn´t it be great if, instead of hauling passengers, you had the...

I would like an answer on this question from someone that is more knowledgable than myself. If you idle a gasoline engine, you always have to worry about carbon monoxide creeping into your cab or sleeper. There is no carbon monoxide threat when idling a diesel engine. My question is why not? I...

I would like to hear what engines you guys are using and how performance has been. I always ran cummins when i was driving tractor trailer. Never had a problem. My first expediter was a 3126 cat. I lost an injector cup at about 300,000 mi., so i had them all replaced to the tune of about $2300...
