Subject: Re: Reasonable Service Places/Prices Author: L Longcrier [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 07/ 3/ 03, 11:21am In reply to: Henry Claeys 's message, "Reasonable Service Places/Prices" on 06/ 26/ 03, 9:24am I would not trust just any grease Monky to change My oil, Most of the cut rate places are not equipped to do the job correctly. If there is a Speedco near you I think you will find that they have all the filters needed and the experteese required to do the job. otherwise it is a case of doing the job yourself. Filters can be obtained from NAPA! My last change included all filters, checking the transmission fluid, changing all three fuel filters, the Air filter, the transmission filter, and checking the rear end, total lube of all chasis points. My bill was 139.00 dollars. Due to this being a total service there was no charge for the Air filter. (usualy $66.00 from the local NAPA dealer.) The 3208T CAT uses 20 quarts of oil, so the total cost isn't too bad. L. Longcrier M1894@AOL.com [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

For one, it shows me that there really are other bird owners who care enough to communicate and help out fellow bird owners. That makes me feel better as I face joining the vintage bird family. I like doing my own work but my bird doesn't have the owner's manual. Other than blindly searching, how am I going to find out where all filters and grease fittigs are?

Longcrier [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 07/ 11/ 03, 4:14pm Filter numbers can be read off of the current filters. as for grease fittings they are located at the tie rod ends, and the king pin ends. don't forget to check the differential oil level. The front wheel bearings are under your front hub caps. pull the rubber plug and check for fluid level. My bird is a 1984FC, and I don't know if my manual's will apply to your unit. Contact Me at M1894@AOL.com if a copy would do you. Let me know what sections you need, and I can make you a copy. L.Longcrier [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
