please eloborate on your situation a little more. what type of allison were you running what fluid, what service center. are you still running this trans. maybe we all can help. i run a 4000hs series allison and have no complaints of any kind. my warranty has been good and we only change every...

glad to see you finally got the truck YOU wanted. believe me i know how frustrating a build can be. i would not worry about payload increasing front axle weight. my truck is the same way , although heavier on the steers than yours 11,760 full of fuel, water and us and our stuff. the cantilever...

we use our cell as a modem but we are w/sprint. we have a friend who does it w/verizon. it works good for the price comparison. not sure what he pays, but w/sprint you buy the vision pack for 15$ a month and have unlimited internet. make sure youy get a good cable and disc that has all the...

very inmature thing to do. a truck going by to get fuel could have woke you just as easily, or simply someone next to you that had been shut off starting up their truck. you should probably be thankful the owner didnt catch you. i know if i caught you doing that to my truck id hand your a## to...

either will work just dont get to thick. something like a berber . the only thing with home carpet is you get a much larger choice of colors. good luck. ps., buy enough for two and do another while you are at it. makes the next chang easier. you will want to change it out next spring or when...

i put carpet in my 70. did the same thing, use mat as pattern. make sure that the carpet is not thick. less pile more backing is best. stay with a jute or the new felt type [has a tan colored marerial on the back ]. stay away from rubber backing. as for the mat i would put it back in and carpet...

will eventually get it right but im sticking with what i got. twice the hp. and tqe at three times more and 2mpg better and not burning the motor up trying to run 65 or 70. just a note on mpg, most loads about 85% have been under 5k.

glad to see that this thread is finally getting some well deserved, positive response. i am assured that the response Blaney gave can be banked on as the truth. in almost five years of conway and at times a close working relationship with Blaney on a few projects she has exemplified a most...

i may stand for correction, but i believe since shortly after 9/11 the homeland security act declared that stopping for tire checks on any load were not required anymore. like was previously stated, much of it has to do with not being so predictable. while i dont believe that anyone is in any...

does a d unit have to take actual fuel purchase amt or are we aloud to take the standard mi. ded.. read an article in the newspaper copy of the trucker news and it confused me so i post this ? for an answer. also pls explain the rules that go along w/each deduction. this has been an ongoing...

go to the local furn/matress store and ask some ? or just go online and search for custom mat. there are several co. out there that will make one to your specs. bemco matrass co is one that we use to deal with all the time when i was in the furn. bus. they make a quality mat. at a reasonable price.

stay a d unit if your co. does not hassle you. there are very few team trks with decent size sleepers that can scale 13,000 without the help of a lift axle. my 2000 fl70 with a 72" midroof sleeper weighed 19,200 with boxes and all our stuff. for that 13,000 payload the truck cant weigh over...

dont know the whole story or have a desire to. but as i have said before, with the free advertising thing put aside. the simple mention of a web address for the betterment of a driver should not be censored. bad blood or not the fact that the question at hand instilled fear of reprocussions from...

insurance in trucking is very misleading. as for your questions reguarding coverage. we have done some indepth resaerch recently do to an accident some friends had. the facts as we understand them and what was told us by our ins. carrier are, being under load only matters to the company. the box...

bigdog, i have the big mercedes also @ 435, and a 6spd. allison auto. i would think w/the 10spd you could run 3:73 or 3:91 maybe even a 3:55. the object w/the mercedes is to gear it to cruise in all gears at around 11-1300 rpm. get your cruise speed picked [ what spd you want on highway ] mine...

i do run a team and agree w/all, as far as hos are concearned. for those teams that are having trouble, you can manage to get on a pretty regular schedule w/some good trip planning. i posted what we do to achieve this previously. it may not be perfect for everyone but it does help us. if you...

yes, everyone did a good job slapping him down. davekc stated if it is affecting drivers still, then it is a current topic. the opinion is that nobody believes what he is saying and yes we all know his past record. lie, probably but to threaten to delete is not fair even to him. i do not drive...

while the thing about the mode for 6th may be true it does not work that way with my 4000hs allison. i am assuming you have the 3000 series in yours. but the mode button is a fuel economy thing , keep it off and get on the throttle hard and hold it and watch the rpm it shifts at then turn it on...

big d since i think you are a conway pbo use the comdata card. we obviously have a little better deal than p2 or fxcc but ofcourse you cant fuel at fj with it. we are only charged .50 a transaction by comdata and get .02 off at all loves cash price at pilot and a minimum of .03 off at t/a. we...

on wed. 11/9 i believe, i made a post about insurance coverage. i got online to check what replies had been made only to see that my post was down inline 8 or 9 spots under posts that were there long before i made mine. no big deal i guess just wondering how that happened. thought it would stay...
