Helpful Service Info
Just returned from a trip where we experienced a few unexpected issues but were able to get them taken care of thanks to some local service people! So I thought I'd share the info just in case you are ever in that area and need help! In Pagosa Springs, CO a very knowledgeable young man named Jacob at Buckskin Towing & Repair (970-264-2500), completed serious repairs to great satisfaction! In Abilene, TX I needed a Detroit Diesel expert and found one at Corley-Wetsel Freightliner (325-677-8187). Also in Abilene I found a great place to get oil/filter changed at I-20 Exit 277 called Big Rigs (across from Flying J).
My Navigator tells me she takes down info like this and keeps handy in her books so I thought I'd share this for those of you that do the same! You can't have too much info when you have an emergency on the road!
Jim

On that note the Detroit D shop in Traverse City ,Mich saved us with alternator problems and did a complete checkup for next to nothing. They work on everything and really care about the work.

Just to add about the Alternator on a 6V92 or 8V92. If these are gear driven look for an accumulation at the base of the adapter, if so the seal is bad. The seal is a $15-$20 part and the alternator is well over $300 for a rebulid because it is a military/marine grade unit and the parts are different.
Just a "heads up" and sharing some experience.
