Has anyone tried Lucas Power Steering Stop Leak? I've developed a small leak at the gear box where the steering arm universal joint connects to it. Sent from my XT1254 using EO Forums mobile app

Our low battery shut down appears to be kicking in while the truck is running. Everything that is connected to it shuts off for no apparent reason. Accessories, interior lights, fridge, bunk A/C, etc. The voltage meter on the truck shows it is charging at 13.9 volts and the batteries are a month...

It's been close to two years and it looks like it's time to replace my batteries again. Has anyone seen any deals anywhere lately?

Had my PM done at the Speedco in Whytheville, VA. A few days later noticed an oil drip. The leak got worse and yesterday it made a puddle. Took it back to Speedco. The oil pan drain plug is stripped and the plug can not be torqued to spec. I brought it home and took it to my local shop to see...

When FedEx installed the graphics on my box they did a complete wrap in white vinyl first. Now that I am pulling the FedEx signage off I can see just how much road dirt has accumulated on the vinyl. (The letters come off easily.) Anyone know of a product that will take this road grime off? I've...

I need to replace a sleeper air bag on a 2006 Freightliner Columbia with the factory condo sleeper. I think the leak is to fast to try and get it to my local shop. Do I have to release the shock absorber and jack up the sleeper to get the old one off? I have a floor jack and a piece of wood I...

Is anyone using Duron-E in there trucks? It's made by Petro-Canada. My local shop did my last PM and is convinced it is the best oil on the market today. They recommended 25,000 miles between oil changes.

Has anyone replaced the range valve on an Eaton Ultrashift? What did it cost? All of the shops in the area are backed up and can't get to it for about a week. I may have to do it myself. Looks like 4 bolts and an electrical connection. Sent from my EVO using EO Forums mobile app

Do any of you straight truck drivers carry a generator inside the box? Would doing so cause any problems such as having it in there with HAZMAT loads or food products?

Is this a short? I was testing my batteries with a volt meter this morning and discovered something odd. With the ground cables removed from the batteries I tested between the negative battery post and the fuel tank and got a reading of 12.8 volts. I repeated this test at several other points...

Our starter died yesterday. I called my local shop and they have a mechanic that contracts with them to do mobile work. They (2 mechanics) did an excellent job testing the electrical system and determined the starter was indeed bad as one of the connection terminals had corroded completely off...

Sometimes when we turn the key to start our truck nothing happens except the lights on the stereo dim. No clicking noise or anything else. We turn the key off and then try again in about 15 to 30 seconds and then it usually starts. This only happens occasionally. Once a month maybe. Is this a...

I'm planning on adding an extra battery or two for a house bank. What size isolator will I need? My alternator is 160 amp so I am assuming I need this size or larger.

Does anyone have any recent info on APU financing? Thanks, Jim

If you have been saving your oil change credits (5 visits and get $200 off) they will expire on 6/30/2013. I had 4 visits and received $145 off. Use it or lose it. Sent from my EVO using EO Forums mobile app

My neighbor just told me this story. He said a few weeks ago his car battery was dead. He had no way to jump start it or a charger. He claims he removed the belt from the alternator, attached a 1/2 inch electric drill to the alternator and spun it a full speed for 30 minutes to charge up his...

Will a 2000 watt generator run a battery charger that puts out 55 amps? What about a 40 amp charger?

I think I pulled into the wrong parking lot. Across the street from the Reno Petro they are having an antique truck show this weekend.

We have four 950 cca batteries in our truck. They are less than 1 year old. When parked the only things drawing power are our refrigerator, inverter and sometimes an overhead light. The inverter powers the tv, dvd, laptop and is used for charging phones and headsets. Twice in the last month our...
