mercer transportation

Go by the engine not the truck. here is what i know for certain.

Detroit ddec 2 or newer works with qualcomm. Ddec iii and newer works with keller(so should ddec2 but i don't know anyone personally using keller with a ddec2 so won't say it well for certain.

Cummins N14 celect works with both.

Cat 3406e works with both.

 

Try a bigger but easier to handle bottle jack

 

I Really gotta replace my cab bushing they are split and breaking apart. I don't got a big enough socket and not sure this is something i wanna mess with in my Drive way:/ Just spent an hour replacing the Bar under my sleeper that sits behind my air bags..

 

YouTube can be your friend.

 

Pete, when I had mine done last year I paid 1.5 hours labor. You have the parts so its a quick while you wait thing. Let someone else risk their pecker skinners.

Yeah but i got nothing else to do while im home lol

 

I'll work A21CAV, take it to a shop. Lol. Some little piddly stuff I'll do but for the most part I've got better things to do than work on the truck. That's what mechanics are for.

 

Pete, you could take it to a shop and go shopping for lawn mower goats while its being worked on.

I was talking to my neighbor, an oilfield driver here in South Texas, and mentioned tomorrow is the first day of summer even though we're already close to 100° every day. He said he bought a bunch of shirts that cool as you sweat.

Alright guys I have a question, the current company that my wife and I drive for is wanting us to lease our truck on. He is a good guy ( the owner), and id like to work the truck local to get the little bugs worked out, but to do so I have to install a wet kit, he is willing to pay everything including fuel and pay me %50 of what the truck makes. Which is $1080 a day 5 days a week. 12 hour shifts. I average 250-320 miles aday. Again the only thing I would pay for is maintenance on my truck and 1099 taxes. Keep in mind I have no truck payment. What do you guys think.
