TECH Folder Updated and consolidated 10/1/2020

This is the tech folder for Large Trucks. It includes basic pointers, tech procedures and other technical information pertinent to Large Trucks.

This is a work in progress at this point, and will grow over time. Please be patient

If you have any suggestions for posts/threads to add to this folder, PM me or post in the forum, and we'll work on it.

NAPA Medium/Heavy Parts

When selecting "Vehicle type" on the NAPA site, you can expand your choices Auto/Light truck, and "Medium/Heavy" is an option. I was able to look up C600 brake parts.

Questions regarding the changes in Ford's Heavy Truck offerings come up from time to time. I'm searching the forum for posts regarding the change, and will put this up as a sticky once it's done.

PM me with comments, links etc
