Hi All, Thought this info might be worth sharing-Two months ago, we traded in our truck to buy a new one. Signed over the title, signed the rest of the papers and all was well. The trade in had about 30k left on the note and of course the dealer took the title and loan info. Usually you don't...

Hi all, Just took delivery of my new FL-112/MB eng/10 spd autoshift. The truck is GREAT, except for the headlights. My FL-80 had the rectangular headlights, and with high output units,there was lotsa light on high or low beam. The new truck has single unit round headlamps and the low beams are...

Does anyone have any info, experience, rumors, etc on this Mercedes Bentz MBE-4000 engine that's available in a Freightliner F-112. Alumibunk (I know,I know) is marketing this as an expeditor, with a 10 spd autoshift. Seems like a good combo, but I have no knowlege of this engine. 435 hp and a...

MY 2001 FL 80 is having "good" and "bad" alternator days! It will always charge to 13.5 volts at idle. Very often while at road speed it drops to 11.6-11.9 volts,and of course the charge warning light comes on. Never happens at the dealer. The alternator,belt,and belt tensioner have been...

My new FL 80 has the same problem. We froze our feet til an honest dealer mechanic told me to set the selector for bi-level (dash and feet). Close all the dash outlets. This forces all the airflow out the lower vents and actually keeps the tootsies warm. Another fine example of Freightliner...
