I'm sure I'll regret posting this: Recently the XY shifter went out on our 18 speed Eaton Fuller autoshift transmission. This is the part that actually shifts the tranny from gear to gear. The transmission locked in eighteenth gear as we were approaching an exit ramp and the truck would not...

Since I cannot post in the FECC forum, I'll post the following here: What TeamCaffee mentioned regarding tire capacity, meaning the design weight carrying capacity of the tire verses actual weight loaded onto the tire, is extremely important as more scales are looking more closely at this as...

Can anyone tell me why the smoke/co detector in our sleeper is malfuntioning? It is located 6-8" above the floor. Its fine when we are driving down the road. Don't hear a peep out of it when I'm cooking. Does'nt seem to matter if the gen-set is running or not. Backup battery is fine. Since we...

My wife wanted a bigger one. I on the otherhand was fine with the smaller one, or so I thought. She continued her quest for a bigger one until I finally agreed. After getting a bigger one, only then was I able to realized how much I was missing with the smaller one. Size does matter! Got your...

Have any of the large sleeper owners (or motorhome/RV owners) on this forum had any experience with the RV sized W/D combos? I'm not talking about the stack unit, rather the type that washes and dries in the same bowl. How many pairs of bluejeans, etc can be washed at a time and how much water...

Anybody out there had any experiance owning or driving A Sterling 9500 Reefer (or dry unit) built by Knoxville Freightliner? We are seriously looking to purchase a new 2006 from them. We've looked at them but were not able to drive that day. Unit is do-able for our needs and affordable...

How many of you "D" units have a Maxon liftgate, you know the one with the deck extension on the back of the box. How many times have you dumped a customer's product trying to get your pallet jack over that supid lip between the box floor and the deck surface ( about 3/4"-1' difference).Those...

We need to hear from other expediters that have done what we are considering doing. As we search for a future replacement of our current DR unit we are seriously thinking of keeping our Kidron Ultra reefer box,Thermoking UTS, and Maxon liftgate and transfer them onto a new Cab. We've seen some...
