I just stepped in on this, have you heard how the higher performance cams run in a truck application?
Depends on the motor and tuner. Check out PDI, Dieselspec, Pittsburgh Power, and there are people here that do that kind of work ( look up Mr....
Stepped out a minute, just a few more thoughts.........Tractors take your money, trailers make you money. If you are going to the East Coast, you...
Ok, I'll talk as the guy who has gotten wrong and eventually got it right. First off, the things that you have mentioned are good ideas as a pre...
Until the OEMs get their heads around the aftertreatment issues with these engines, going with a glider is the best way to go. We have already...
Expedite loads pay the equivalent of 4.00 or more a mile, just because it has to be rushed. Too many times companies will scam the O/O by going to...
I ran expedited for a couple of companies and what it will come down to is revenue per mile. Expedited loads are not cheap, but they can be parsed...

When I talked to the Cat dealer in Oregon, I was curious if the update was for the early units but he informed me that the fix was needed as late...
For the first year or two it would be a good idea to drive a manual, then switch. I've driven both, and I can outshift the computer anyday. But...
