Feel for you.. Just replaced ALL my shocks and had a hard time getting parts houses to find the right shock. Eventually Freightliner gave me the numbers, but had to buy the shocks at Advanced Auto...

Don't wait!

Frieghtliner front ends use 80/90w oil to lubricate the wheel bearings. The front bearings are sealed. If you're leaking oil, it can get absorbed by the brake pad. When you use the brakes, you...

What engine do you have? For my freightliner a shop put the wrong coolant in and cost me a couple of level sensors znd an EGR system. So definitely make sure you get the right kind! FCCC helped me...

Failure to latch

T40B, sometimes the door 'moves' forward 1/2" and won't latch. Slide the door back a little and it should latch again.

I hear a slight hiss from the parking break 'pull' at the transmission console when I park. Upon restarting, I get a low air warning. Others wise pressure stays good. Thoughts?

Been there..

I've pretty much done everything you can with that hydraulic system, (2007 TM 40C).

For mine, the pump was located in the basement, in front of the water heater. I (VERY!) carefully documented...

Hi!

Yes, the GS hydraulic slide system is a challenge.

That being said, it's (mostly) repairable!

What specifically are you seeing?

Good luck with that..

I put as much pressure as I could, but it didn't hold. I think the rubber grommet is just too worn out. If you know where I can get a new grommet...

2007 GS TM. BOTH mirrors have the 'lazy ear' syndrome. In 5 years, I've yet to find a good solution. Hadley, the company that makes them, has turned out to be impossible to contact, and...

Beware...

I have a 2007 GS T40B. All in all, great rig. (3rd one for me, including a 32' gasses and a class B)
Worst thing, hydraulic slides. Parts are impossible to find. Fridge is marginal, and...

I've been through much of what you state.

Still having problems? I learned all about those darned things... Does it operate your jacks as well? Are they working?

no..

Appliances fail. Requiring over $1000 of unnecessary expense in order to replace is just not acceptable. Just like GM creating new tools in order to ensure that customers use dealerships for...

Not just my opinion...

Read the reviews on the appliance. https://products.geappliances.com/appliance/gea-specs/GSS23WGTBB

Additionally, saying the door dimensions must conform to highway standards is just bunk. Look...

Re: No roof A/C while on shore power!

Appreciate the quick reply!

Figured it out. The inverter is showing AC power, and reporting bulk/float charging. The problem is the CONVERTER switch was off!
Flipped the breaker, all is well!

Hi all,

Bought a used GS Tour Master 2007; Noticed a problem, not sure how to resolve.
