I had a chance to lift the cab yesterday and the 24v alternator light was flashing orange. It measured 24.7 volts. While driving around it bumped up to 26v on the gauge but just briefly. Is there any way to adjust this? Is it typically a regulator issue? I'm going to clean all the connections...

Here in Ohio, a CDL is not required for air brakes. It just goes by GVW. Registered as a truck and no restrictions on mileage/destinations.

It's not that it shifts hard, it just doesn't want to shift unless I floor the pedal. Once it warms up it's fine. I have a thread about it here... http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?143883-delayed-shifting-issue I still need to check the electrical system to make sure that's not...

So I've had mine for about 5 or 6 weeks now and so far so good. I've taken it out only once per week to go to the local car cruise with my kids but I'm getting ready to move my machine shop so it'll start seeing heavy use for that. I'm glad you guys mentioned the transmission fluid because my...

I'm a little confused on the gladhands. According to the manual, there should already be "dummy couplings" on these. Are these what you mean by covers? Or are covers something different? Do the tires have regular schrader valves like passenger cars? I've never seen one of these truck up close so...

I'm driving about 120mi to get a 17k mile '94 LMTV tomorrow and then driving it home. It's supposedly in great condition with all new fluids and filters. What should I check before shoving off? I plan to have the manual on my laptop and a list of truck towing companies along the way. I just saw...
