Last week I noticed my truck fuel mileage took a dive and so did my engine power, the power not as much but the gallons I purchased to fill the tanks did shocked me at the pump! Fuel and air filters were replaced not long ago at the maintenance interval, matter of fact it was done this month so I was like...WTF!
So this morning I grabbed my spray bottle filled it with soap and water to check my CAC and Booya!
I have used Love's address before to have Fuel/Credit cards sent to me before, no problema! But I was wondering if anyone ever used a truckstop address to have a large part delivered to you.
My plan is to order the CAC along with a new BW 171702 and wait till UPS/Fedex shows up to the Parts receiving in the back of TA where I am sitting now.
Thanks for sharing your experience and/or advice.

The fuel filter O-rings can easily get pinched on installation if they don't get enough grease. Is that when the problem started?
I'm guessing you are talking about a Cascadia....
Edit: They don't tighten down the CAC fittings very tight, just enough to put it in "spec". -
and no, the filters are fine, the video link I shared clearly shows Air Cooler is leaking. -
####, that is a filthy CAC... You need to clean them out now and then. As far as having the part delivered to the truck stop, sure, I have done it and so have friends of mine.
One thing though, make sure you install an OEM CAC, do not go aftermarket. You may be asking for more trouble than you think. Been there, and done that with a radiator. The CAC and the programing on your motor are related, you throw something on there with different flow values... It's your motor and turbo.
If on a 99, an aftermarket CAC may not be an issue... Just saw that, thought this was a Cascadia.Cascadia Thanks this. -
DON'T get a oem cac, they can leak up to 7 psi out of the box and the dealers say it's ok also only come with a 1 year warranty
get a durlite they guarantee ZERO leak for 800,000 miles
btw durlite is offered as a oem replacement part by the dealers just don't get it from the dealer they will over charge. the volvo dealer wanted just over $1,800 for a durlite.(wait a week) I ordered mine from a shop in WI and with 2 day rush shipping it was $1,200Last edited: Jul 15, 2018

Where did you get yours at?
Thanks -

by oem standers for warranty it is NOT LEAKING until it goes over (depending on manufacture) 5-7 psi in 15 sec.... go ahead and check you'll find it's true....
