Or maybe it's just a Freightliner. Jus' sayin'.

We have the truck back. Freightliner is now fully involved, as the screwing we're presently getting is from Valley Freightliner. We'll see if FL forces their hand to get them to do the honorable thing. Accepted a load going near there, so, if we don't get satisfaction, I'll be filing suit. I...

Dang. Sure was. Sorry, Guido, and thanks for the tip. And thanks, RM. I hope it does, too.

Yesterday morning, called to get the update, and the former Quebec resident that works there says, "Geez, we just opened up two minutes ago. I don't know anything." Two and a half hours later, still no update, so I walk my behind down there, and those were the same words I uttered to my wife...

Ha! Lucky Club is the one that turned us away. If you remember my dogs, you'd know why the "aggressive breed" thing is hilarious. Further, "All Pets Stay Free" apparently doesn't, in fact, mean 'all pets'.

Actually, it's a Detroit warranty. The engine-installing dealer claims that it was a complete assembly, and never touched the drain plug. Am I incorrect in assuming that any Daimler/Freightliner/Sterling/Western Star shop should handle this warranty claim?

That's a different one, and one I'll probably look into. I usually do most simple work myself. Thanks for the link. I guess my bigger question, is should we expect to be treated this poorly at every manufacturer's franchisee?

Scott's right. We actually installed one on the M2, but we have an oil bypass system on this one. The oil needed to come out, as there are wear metals on break-in that I believe plugged the bypass filter. FWIW, TA didn't strip it. This was the first time the plug wasattempted to be removed...

A little over a week ago, at about the 5,000-mile mark after the installation of the gold-plated remanufactured MBE 900 engine in our 2006 Sterling (a Daimler/Freightliner product), we went in to a TA to have the oil changed. The first thing the tech did was go right to the oil pan to drop the...

......the Blizzard of '77 started. I was a fifth-grader, growing up in a small town in Western New York. Never saw so much snow before or since. Got the unique lake effects from both Erie and Ontario. School until late July that year, and neighbors pulling together doing what good neighbors...

Lots to ponder there, Moose. Between our monthly truck payment (our reserves, pre-engine replacement, were almost enough to pay the truck off-glad we didn't pull that trigger) and our averaged monthly repair before the engine replacement, were more than a new truck payment. That new truck...

Wait.......you have to buy a hot dog to get the ketchup? Thank you, and the same to you two.

As a Sabres fan, when does golf season start?

My beautiful bride and I drive a 2006 Sterling with a Merecedes MBE 900/926 engine. Beginning in the middle of last year, we began having problems with oil leaks. Having spent loads of dough having head and valve cover gaskets replaced, the problem kept resurfacing. In early December, we also...

Wife having no experience is a problem for some, but not all. FedEx, I believe, will allow her to team with you if she has the proper license.

Our truck is registered at 48k, but, like Jimby's can only scale 46k (bridge formula). We're right around 26k empty, most we've ever pushed is 43k loaded. Thursday's load was 600#. Yesterday was 11,000 (a forklift). Monday is 10,900 (paper). FWIW, heavier it is, the more we get.

So, would it be safe to say that I was right? FWIW, Deville is clearly the exception.

Yes. Chances are, you will not like the people there.

Tacoma, Washington......waiting for the beep. Back in service after 47 days for an engine replacement.

Is this thread a yank? I'm in the very lengthy process of my engine being replaced. I maintained it painstakingly. Why would any insurance company be involved in paying for it? Some of the answers here have left me scratching my head....and worse.....
