tjc transport

i have been complaining ot Kenworth for the past year my 2022 T880 with X15 cummins engine and rough duty 4500 allison trans has electrical issues. they keep on saying they cant find anything wrong with it. even after i took the service manager out for a ride and slammed his head into the windshield when the stability control came on for no reason, defueled the truck, and locked up the brakes. today at 11ami was in traffic on the NJ turnpike. 9 miles of under 15 MPH. on a side note, we ordered the truck with 4.56 gears. it was delivered with 4.10 gears. so the trans never gets into 6th gear, because it is speed limited at 64 mph, and you have to be doing at least 63 to get into 6th. managed to get it off the turnpike before i lost all gears. trans diagnostics said trans fluid too hot to determine problems. called the dealer and told them the truck broke down, electrical issues with trans, send a tow truck. they sent a service van with two mechanics who proceeded to go over the truck, give me a pretrip report, and one jumped in it to drive it back to dealership. at 1 pm i saw the truck on the side of the turnpike with smoke coming out from under it. on the way back north i saw a tow truck hooking it. about an hour ago, the dealer called saying we smoked the trans, the fluid is burnt black. not under warranty. this truck has 12,235 miles on it when they took it. i told the service manager to look at the pre trip his guys did. in bold letters it says trans fluid level ok and bright pink. "oh" i informed him i will accept nothing less than a NEW trans, and a NEW wiring harness to address the issues i have been having with the truck since it was new with 107 miles on it. and if not, Paccar corporate will be getting a registered letter with all the issues i have had and their refusal to address the issues. i dont get mad..............i get even.

i can still do it, but not as fast or easily as 10 years ago. i had to do front brakes on moms cay yesterday and am paying dearly for it today

i think we got way offtrack here. lets all agree to disagree and leave it at that. before anyone says something that could cause more issues, lets just close this one and let it die please.

does it really make a difference???

today was a royal PITA. moms car driver front brakes started making noise. 77,430 miles. took 2 hours 15 minutes to change the rotor and pads. took a break to cool off, and then back to the passengeer side.......which took 10 minutes to do. it is now PBR time. .

No. Needs more bacon.

JFK. Was never supposed to be president. his older brother Joe was supposed to get the job. But he went an got himself killed in WWII, so John got the job

unfortunately Joey, i do believe you are correct. and unless someone with half a brain gets back into the white house REAL soon, we will probably be seeing that within the next 4-6 years.

i just hope they wait until after i die to totally fork thing up beyond all repair.

5 years ago 3 8 foot poplar 1X10's and 2 8 foot 2X3's was 24 dollars an change. January those same 5 pieces cost $136

it is called "bidenomics" everything is 4 times more expensive than it was 3 1/2 years ago due to "team stupid"

never!!!

yup, those are the beasts i remember. and what we built the garage/wash bay on Victory Blvd side for

ya mean the "little" ones with the 100 yard bodies on them?😁

1C ain't that bad Paul, that is about when i start puttin a long sleeve shirt on.

yup, what he said^^^^ front and inside rear tires mount stem facing out. rear outer mounts stem facing in

Not me. I lose the windows and turn the ac up another notch I has ice crystals on the outside of the passenger window last night when I pulled in the yard. And it was 93 degrees outside the truck. 😁

There is an other brands section already

May be an old wives tale, but I was told it is because hot water has less air bubbles than cold water.

to make you nuttier than squirrel turds? trick: before releasing lower tray cubes, put it in a pan of hot water for around 30 seconds. the heated tray will let the cubes come rite out.

and spammer that is now gone.

nope did not change. NJ is still no self serve. antiquated law from 1949, but every time it gets put to a vote to allow self serve, the great citizens all say hell no, we do not want to pump our gas. besides, it gives convicted felons and drug dealers jobs.

even with a properly working fan the ambient sensor can read wrong as it is not in the airflow. .so when sitting it reads the heat off the engine and radiator.

the diesel pumps are usually overlooked because they are away from the gas pumps in most stations, so no one complains when you self serve with diesel.. but technically, self serve diesel is not allowed here either.
