As stated above the large truck stops, T/A, Petro, Flying J, Pilot and Loves, and toll road plazas (Trapped audience!!) are more expensive, QT's are usually a little less. I try to find the larger regional convenience store chains, like Sheetz in PA & VA, Hot Spot in SC, Marathon in the midwest...

A clutch return spring is minor.. Lose a throw out bearing, NO clutch at all, on I-76, the Schuylkill Expressway in Philly when it was under construction in the late 80's, driving a 13 speed with a loaded trailer. Made it to the customer in Pitman NJ and backed it into the dock.

I learned on the hand clutch John Deere's and Alice Chalmers before I was big enough to be able to push a clutch peddle in.. When you got big enough to pick up a bale of hay, you got DEMOTED!! Double clutching just came naturally, as part of driving?In the last 60 years I have driven about every...

I have to agree with Stickk.. I have over 40 years and 4 million miles of tractor trailer driving.. I had a F-250 then bought a 32 foot/102 wide gooseneck hitch enclosed car trailer. Even with Firestone air bag helpers on the 250 it was still not "comfortable" with the new trailer.. Bought a...

I have 3.73's in my DRW C&C only tow about 1/4 time.. I think they are a good all around ratio..

Mr Henderson, Sadly I have to agree with your answer. And I will not hijack this topic to go on a rant about today's educational system which teaches young people to rely on electronic support rather than good old common sense!! Passenger car operators SHOULD be as well trained as professionals.

I guess I am TOO old fashioned to understand this concept!! All of today's so called "electronic help" only make stupid drivers dumber!! I learned to drive when a person could see the weather and adjust his vehicle and his driving habits to meet those conditions.. I can also read a map and...

Thanks.. The lawyers always know more that us simple users!!! BUT Why the difference between a C&C (work truck) and a dually (pleasure truck)??????

There MIGHT(??) be a cure???? My 3500 is a cab and chassis rather than a dually and my EB switch has stayed on for the many stops and starts in 45k miles. But the TH shuts off each time#@$%! the switch turns off?? Maybe Sag2 or Bob 4X4 have an answer???

My signature 2014 3500 C&C now has 45k miles as a daily driver with only 8500 miles towing miles at 23k gross. The last time it was at the dealer was Nov 2015 with 21k miles for warrantied front end work and service. Since then I have had it serviced at a private garage. In May I am planning...

Bob Does this mean when we are towing and shut off the engine that we have to unplug the trailer light cord before restarting the engine???

Definately a 3500 DRW.. That heavy on the pin needs DRW stability with a sudden flat tire..

When my truck was first new it drank a lot of DEF, guessing in the 300 MPG range empty. After my first service it improved a lot!! May have been a computer update??? Not real close figures, but around 500 MPG loaded @23000# and better than 800 empty. I have the 9 gal tank and let it drop below a...

The Diesel cops would stop you for 2 things. First not enough straps on notoriously slippery blocks, you ever notice that the big trucks have boards or wire mesh down the whole side of the pallet before they strap it down? Second with only single tires on the trailer you are probably over on...

I have to agree with Ed Kilgore.. Hook it up and drive it a while.. DO YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE??????? I had a F-250 and was pulling my 5000 pound Diamond T pickup on an 16 foot flatbed utility. No Problems!! Bought a 32 foot gooseneck hitch enclosed car trailer. After a couple of 1500-2000 mile...

I have been using Peak Blue from my local NAPA dealer for the last 30,000 miles with no problems. Shop price is about the same as Wally World and his turn over is a lot faster thus fresher product.

I run the EB on manual ALL the time. Only use TH when empty in heavy stop and go traffic. On slippery going with the EB on you MUST be very aware of a possible rear wheel lock up and feather your throttle accordingly. You can get the rear wheels turning faster again (with EB) with a light touch...

My 3500 is a C&C with the 9 gal tank.. The gauge is VERY inaccurate!! Will stay on full forever, but once it gets below 3/4 it drops fast.. Yesterday at 3/4 gauge, I put 5 gal in and the tank did not bubble full. With a 5 gal tank I would do as Cummins12V98 said..

Another dealer is Cooper Motors in Clinton SC.. 864-833-1741 He deals commercial trucks.. Has many more trucks than cars on his lot!!
