Heard that CAT's settlement was $15k to anyone that could prove they purchased an 07 EPA engine new. Not nearly enough for the businesses that went under because the trucks couldn't move freight.

Yeah. I've been giggling at all the CT660's bring shown off at the Orlando auction.

Best case scenario is that they all go to south america...
Tore my roof liner out on the w9 and found the sign lamp switch wire behind the dash. Connected it to a switch and sure enough my sign/beacon symbol illuminated on the dash. Only extra wire I can find up top are an olivewire with a brown stripe and ground. In a two prong plug. One on each side above the door. I'm assuming these are the wires I require? So why can't I get power to come to them? Anyone done this can help me out please? They I disappear in the bundle of wires and go into the panel. I've swapped out breakers an relays they work as they also control the sign/beacon symbol.
Red with orange stripe on Canadian made trucks, red with green on American made.
Makes perfect sense. Wtf
Anybody ever swapped air ride onto a LTL Ford? Found a beautiful truck local, equipped right except it's spring ride. Frames on them are designed a little different than most so I'm not sure if it would take LTL specific suspension or not.
No problems here, they must make them better for our market, again.Just sent a DD13 down the road. 300k miles, injection pump came apart and sent alum through the entire fuel system including the fuel tanks. $12,000-$15,000 repair with all 6 injectors. Friend worked for local Detroit dealer for probably 15yrs and this is not rare. Once metal is found in the fuel filter the advice was to run it until it dies because the damage is done. You can overhaul a Cat/Cummins for that $$.
If this is what you consider a great motor the junk your used to over there must be a real treat.
If you drive that jewel again don't over rev it because it stretches the cam lobes and they have to be replaced.

Buddy sells trucks to SA and they just now started taking old E7 Mack's. Guess they finally got electricity and trust the drive by wire motors. Lol
Would gladly take an E7 over a DD13. May not get there too fast, but ya should at least still get there.....
It's amazing to see the guys who owned S60's for years and loved them. Then the went to the dealer to get a new truck and came out with a DD15/13. Found out fast they couldn't be any farther from each other. 8hr+ job to change an air compressor. Parts that Fisher Price wouldn't put on kids toys.
Fuel system so weak it makes a VP44 look reliable. If you don't prime the lube system with a pump there is a very good possibility it will spin a bearing after rebuild.
