My 2017 freightliner columbia glider kit with 1999 detroit 12.7 engine wont communicate with my ELD i tried 2 different eld companies same thing on both missing data information anyone had this problem?
There are kits or were kits that would allow an interface to the ECM and added sensors to be ELD compliant. I do not remember who makes it but I had a few in the past.
Why did you buy a glider? Everyone knows that when you buy one it's so you ate not required to run a ELD
Not everyone feels the same way. I built my glider in 2015 when owner ops at my carrier still used paper logs. I built the glider because I wanted the reliability that came with a 1996 Series 60 pre-emissions motor, not because of an ELD. Not all of us with a glider need or want to run paper. If I didn’t like the ELD, I would still put up with my carrier requiring an ELD versus getting my own authority and being able to run paper logs again. All the other carriers I would want to lease to in my industry require an ELD and I am fine with that.
