If you are referring to three seperate air tanks, yes, you should get air from each one when you pull on the drain valve cable. But, if it has been that long since it has been drained, I wouldn't be surprised if the drain valve itself isn't corroded inside the tank. You may need to replace it...

What you are hearing is the air dryer purging. But there must be a small leak somewhere if it does it that often. And it could be alot of things. But it should not pop off that often if you have a tight air system. Mine was caused by a defective air dryer cartridge. It had become full and let...

Most air compressors have what is called a governor. It is in fact a regulator of sorts. Most are preset at factory and some are adjustable. I have never seen one set to allow more than 135 lbs. of pressure on a truck. There may be instances that it would be necessary for more pressure, but not...

I spent the money for my own authority and got it. Then came all the compliance forms, drug program, books, record keeping. No matter that there was only me to be a driver, the record keeping was the same as if I had a 100 drivers. Then within 6 months came the call for a safety audit...

Are any of you getting paid for the extra miles it takes to make the detour? I say it is around 70 miles longer to Asheville. Some say it is only around 50. But either way, it is extra miles and I never get paid for them. Just curious as to what is the norm with the rest of you? BTW, I heard...

It is just an inline fuel filter that you see on just about any vehicle. It is not the plastic see thru type. It is a metal one with threaded nipple on each end. Mine clogged the start of cold weather in Arkansas. I knew it was there, but didn't know that was my trouble at the time. $250.00 to...

Wow! $2400 just for a wiring harness? Wow! Was it just injector harness or the whole truck? Wow! We get ripped no matter how simple the fix is. Wow! I feel your pain.

There IS nothing left to save but the people. It may be my age, but the news coverage of the people suffering there truly moved me. Just as Katrina and Louisiana did. The pictures of the people looking for something, anything, just a drink of water, oh so sad they are. Me knowing that help...

And some EO'ers know what you had for supper last night. Be careful what you're thinking when sitting in front of your computer. Ha! Ha!

Here is a whole thread on your subject. It includes the mistake I made by doing what you want to do. Some good info and advise in it. http://www.expeditersonline.com/forum/truck-talk/34800-leaking-injectors.html I wouldn't think you would be equipped to rebuild your injectors or even...

I am going to do the same with my muffler as the one you saw. I have everything to do it but the muffler. The muffler willl be here Monday. I am going to continue using it the way it is until it won't run or whatever. I am not going to try and beef this thing up. I may try to support the vital...

The vibration problem that was my original concern, has become reality. As stated in earlier posts, the engine and generator are on a rubber mount inside the housing. After early signs of vibration from road, I did as gregg suggested and put some donut rings on the mounts that hold it on truck...

"PILOT"... Gotta be PILOT!!!

Well, I beg to differ with with you. The section of I40 from Cookeville to the bottom of the long hill that I was sitting on for a hour and a half was a solid sheet of ice till salt trucks got there. West bound side was where the first of several wrecks started, but East bound was ice also and...

There are a few states that you can not legally gross 33000 even though truck is rated for it. In the states that have 12000 max on steer axle and 20000 on drive, you will only be able to gross 32000. I can and do often carry 13000 on my truck. If I vary my fuel, I can go up to 13700. I have to...

I had a 2001 Sterling Acterra w/Cat engine. It was the quitest, best riding, driving, comfortable truck I have ever owned. Only had a 48 inch sleeper though. After coming out of an International day cab, it was great. Now??? I am in a 2000 Peterbilt 330. It is the roughest riding, noisest, most...
