    Old Twin Turbo 855

    I remember one of the local log haulers put one in a HDX, the driver was hoping for good things from the engine and was totally pissed of with it in a short time. said there was no bottom end torque, was hard to lift off with a load, and that the old ntc 400 would out pull it.

    Any brand log trucks

    I will try to quote some of the stories I was told by a driver and loader operator. The loaded trucks pup trailer would wonder side to side so you had to pull deep into the pullouts when clearing for them and hope it was enough not to get hit, that was one of the reasons so many loads were lost...

    Paccar px-8 engine brake question

    Try changing the exhaust pressure sensor as the VGT responds to its signal, had one that had an in range failure, no codes, once it was changed the driver said the truck performed better. also check the line to the sensor for leaks or plugging. cheap and easy fix.

    2009 Kenworth T800 Window Wipers Only Run On High Need Advanced Help

    We find most issue is with the turn stalk control. If you have access to a good one just plug it in and try it. Just pull the center gauge panel with tac and speedo out, you can see the connector lower right area.

    Vancouver Island, BC. Logging at its Best!

    I remember the tires being the weak point in how much weight could be hauled, short hauls were ok to "loader up" but on the long hauls the tires get a lot of heat built up in them and shorten their life. As weight goes, when the chopper was flying wood they found out heavy pieces could be...
