    I figured I would throw this out there for anyone needing help with a star. If you have the last 6 of the vin I can look up part numbers and wiring of the truck as it was built from factory. I know there is a limit to how old a truck I can get this info but not sure how old it is. If you pm or email (westernstarhelp@hotmail.com) me the vin I will do the best I can for you.

    Yes they do use the access freightliner system but each person can only view the vehicles for which their company is a dealer for. I work for a Western Star Dealer and can access western stars and sterling info. If we need any info for a freightliner (mainly parts) we get the info from a freightliner dealer.
     
    underpsi Thanks this.

    Gotcha, thanks for the clarification.

    If you're in Muskoka then you must work for Northland?

    I wish they would allow us access to the whole system but they won't.
    Yes I do work at Northland. Mechanic during the day and run both wreckers 24/7 whenever the phone rings.

    We buy all our trucks from northland, probably seen some of them there. Silver cab, blue framed western star. Like you said, we have access freightliner at work also, but we can only access the truck we own. Anyone else we have to call the team for parts and wiring.
