My Experience with Lone Star Transportation

I've changed an alternator out in the middle of nowhere faster than that....and that included hitching a ride to town to buy the new one after I had the old one off.

What did they do...remove, rebuild, reinstall?

 

There's your problem, you actually trusted a Mechanic's sense of time.

 

I was at kw in joplin, mo. They said they didn't have one in stock and had to have it delivered from the kw in van burn, ar. I think that's about a 2 1/2 hr drive, so after it got there and they finished the other trucks they bumped in front of me I was all set!

 

pete and kw are both built by paccar, so that may not be the problem, perhaps they didnt build the alternator.

 

I live right near a paccar testing facility and they put those trucks through their paces. i've gone on 2 ride alongs out there and it's pretty cool

 

From everything else I've seen with this truck its built with high quality. Id b interested to here if any of the others have issues. The tranny sucked at first but now that im used to it its not too bad. The cummins has a higher powerband than the cat, and when it gets wound up it pulls pretty well. Should b a 13 speed no doubt though

 

Let you know in a week or so.

 

perhaps they didnt build the alternator. Ya Think ! Last Alternator I bought for a KW ( KW dealer ) was a CHAMPION and made in MEXICO

 

i knew that flatbed, i was being a little facetious as AT is a bit biased toward peterbuilt since he drives one now.

crap happens to any truck new or old. it matters not the brand.
