    the problem is located on the inside on the rim. there is a sensor there that runs against the hub. sometimes they will move out and cause the light to come on. they just need to be loosened cleaned up and slid back in and tightened down. keep in mind the sensor could also be bad. take it to a...

    the straight truck club

    if your spec truck on paper is a 10 mpg truck, thats not any better than most. my m2 112 with a 13L mercedes and an allison gets 10 mpg on avg. and as high as 10.7 at times and its a 33k truck and weighs 23,400. likewise not telling you how to spec but i would let durability figure in the...

    just a few questions for the senior expeditors

    you are right about all the fees that the big carriers charge. dont know for sure which big carrier you are talking about but i have a good idea. hard to focus and read since it scrolls fast, but it does say 1.60 plus. dont know that the plus means plus fsc. i would be inclined to think it means...

    i am of the same opinion with a few exceptions. i would not be afraid of a class 7 with a c9 cat. i know of quite a few out there with almost a million miles and one with 1.1 million on it. only had injectors put in it. they do require to be maintained and fuel economy is only 8.5/9.0 for most...

    all good info and being paid for every mile the truck moves is good also. what is really important though is whats the final number for all miles at the end of the week or month. thats the number that really matters. all money, all miles loaded or empty and miles you do on your own to move that...
