    Default Truck vibrates at highway speeds... :(

    I was going uphill with 43,000 lbs today on Hwy 401 in Ontario and all of a sudden, the truck started shuddering. I cut the cruise control and as the RPM went down, the vibrations disappeared. They reappeared though as soon as I tried to add fuel. I barely made it to the yard which luckily was only 10 miles away. Our shop mechanic at first thought it was the u-joint, but hearing the engine idle, the recommended taking it to CAT. It clearly has a miss. I booked an appointment for 7 am tomorrow and CAT said over the phone it can be either an injector or a fuel supply problem.

    Anyone had something like this happen to their truck? Mine is a 2004 International 9400 with a CAT C15 and only 470,000 miles.

    By any chance, did you check your fuel filter?
    Destroy the cities...
    and they will rebuild them.
    Destroy the farms...
    and grass will grow in the streets of the cities.

    Destroy the economy of the blue-collar worker...
    and grass will grow in the executive offices.

    The bill has come due.

    No, it was changed 8,000 miles ago but CAT did a cylinder test this morning and found Injector #6 "not responding". $1,000 and 3 hours later the truck was as good as new. It started pulling much better too ... I think this injector has been failing slowly for some time now but this was the first time when I had such a bad misfire/miss. I don't know how I managed to pull the trailer with 43,000 lbs to the yard on 5 cylinders...

    Sounds like you are more in dire need of a vibrator, than any white man in history.

    If you don't own one you can rent one. Just clean it first.

    This post was about a specific technical problem with a Class 8 truck. If you want to make homosexual jokes, I believe you're in the wrong forum. This discussion is closed: the culprit of the problem (the faulty injector) was identified by a CAT dealer. Thank you.

    I've been here a long time, and offered plenty of technical help. I don't need you to school me.

    You may decide the question has been answered to your own satisfaction, but I don't think you get to choose whether a thread or topic is closed.

    My post was about a specific technical term called humor, and offered with good intentions.
    Humor is apparently is a subject well beyond your capacity, but not others who read this forum.

    I don't believe you have the authority to decide what another member posts or where.
    In my humble opinion, you obviously do not have the ability to decide what is reasonable, or relevant.

    A joke is just a joke. If you don't like the joke...sooooo what. I didn't get the homosexual connection, until you brought it up. I still don't really get it, because as far as I know...vibrators are used to soothe a knotted muscle in the neck or back from say, driving, or putting up with a Mother-in-Law.

    Now if you happen to have a deeper issue going on, allow me to suggest you ask your CAT dealer for help, as you seem to have a successful relationship together, so far.

    It sounds like tracer is loads of fun to be around. NOT.................... The guy must be pretty boring to be around, seeing how he has no sense of humor

    What do you expect from a guy who has to drive around all day in a truck that looks like Big Bird's head??
    Remember... friends are few and far between.
