We currently have 4 2008 45/55 Sterlings after switching from the Ford's, we used to be fleet with ford until they started to go sideways after the 7.3l..our last one was the 6.4 and it took us 1.5yrs to get rid of that one.

Every truck has it's weak point and so far we're not had any huge issues although I'm getting annoyed at how many ball joints they go thru. One of our trucks just went thru a set of injectors but other than that they have been amazing no issues at all.

I'm looking for parts locations, does anyone have a good source for parts for these trucks, the injectors from Dodge are 600 each plus labour, I've found that I can get brake pads out of Napa for just over 100.00 a set but can't get ball joints.

If anyone has a good parts location pls send me a post.

tks!!

How many miles are you getting out of your ball joints. Also for the injectors you can try Jeff at Mumau Diesel 724-354-3136

Tks for the leads, we are not getting all that many miles out of the ball joints, our mechanic actually changes out the top and bottom at the same time when he does one. It's a bit more for parts but it extends the inservice time over having to have the truck come back into the shop. Some trucks are around 30000kms, because we have several it always seems like something needs a fix, we are doing oil changes every 5weeks.

What are the signs of the ball joints going are you getting front end vibration
