Waiting on New Trucks thread.

That guy will not be there next time. Story of my life.

 

First of all, know that I am completely ignorant to how your truck is configured to balance fuel tanks and whatnot.

But I'll ask the dumb question, since that's the one I usually miss myself: have you actually sticked the tanks to confirm what the gauges are reading, to rule out a calibration issue?

 

He might his name was Billy lol. But everybody's results there may vary.

 

In that case, he'll be promoted to branch manager by then.

 

Hey that actually happened to the mechanic at Thompson CAT in Manchester, TN that used to work on my other truck, no ****!!!

 

I checked fuel levels in relation to gauges and they seem to be holding true if that’s what you’re asking.

 

That is the case with my Great Dane salesman. He's now the regional general sales manager and now only talks to customers who's last names start with Tribe or Garrison. They either quit or get promoted.

 

Yep, cream always rises to the top.

I remember one time the mechanic, now manager, at the Manchester shop let me steam clean and power wash my CAC out after I had a turbo blow up. I fixed that one myself and they made no money off the ordeal, other than a gasket and 4 bolts, but they let me power wash that at no charge. Of course I probably paid for a few vacations there over the years with other stuff LOL

 

Yes. Checking the obvious, in other words. As in placing a physical measuring stick to determine the level, versus just looking in there with a flashlight. I used to do a lot of second and third hand fixes as a mechanic, usually because the previous techs failed with assumptions, instead of actually doing the simple checks to begin with.

Since i don't know anything about how the system is constructed in order to guess why one would draw versus both, that's all I got. The only first hand I can speak of is a 387 I no longer own, had a 150 and a 100 but just one fuel gauge. It was an old Stevens truck. It could have been pulling out of one and into the other and the driver would never know unless it ran out. It never did while I had it.

 

I have duel 135s and I split the pass side one myself and have 75 fuel and 60 hydraulic oil. And the tanks draw pretty equal by height of the fuel in each tank…..

something is wrong with yours ……
