mercer transportation

Here's the thing CJ, I plan way in advance and run good van lanes, the thing is the rates that you speak of for you guys is unheard of for vans here. You guys speak of 2 bucks as not good where a van guy doesn't sniff that. Gotta be flat to work here.

 

Thinking of getting my hazmat n trying for a dedicated route near me.

 

I can't see from the pics, does the oil trail start at #4or5 or further to the front of the engine. If it starts where the pics show I'd be inclined to agree it's a head gasket. This is the beauty of an isx, to replace the hg, the rad has to be pulled to pull the cams out. Front cover comes off, timing gears come off.. It's like a $4000-$5000 job. And if you need any work on the water system now the time to do it. My 2005 had same prob. Leaked like a sieve at the ds rear. None of my shops wanted to do it. Their answer was buy a case of brake parts cleaner every week and keep it cleaned off till overhaul. Never did do anything with it. Cams went out at 956k and traded it in.

 

Freight picked up quite a bit yesterday in the youngstown, oh area. Hope it's not just a "Friday thing". Nice seeing more than 10 loads within a hundred miles again.

 

I cleaned it today. Gonna run for a bit. If head gasket is leaking wouldn't coolant get into oil?

 

Has anyone replaced shocks in a truck stop before? Do I need a air gun to do it?

 

No, you dont need an air gun, might need a breaker bar or two wrenches together.

 

Hmm my breaker bar is at home lol. My truck is bottoming out.

No not normally.ISX doesn't pressurize the cooling system or mix with the coolant.

 

Hey Pete, good news is, at this rate you will pretty much have a new truck next week
