What owners report
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1998 KENWORTH T2000. WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH, THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE FAILED TO REMAIN IN POSITION. THE CONTACT HAD TO STEER THE VEHICLE IN EXCESS IN ORDER TO KEEP THE VEHICLE IN POSITION. UPON INSPECTION, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE LATERAL PINS HOLDING THE SUSPENSION HAD SHIFTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT BOTH REAR SWAY BARS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT WAS AWARE OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 01V051000 (SUSPENSION) BUT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,200,000.
I HAD A FUEL LINE FAILURE ON MY 98 KENWORTH T2000 WITH A 60 SERIES DETROIT ENGINE. THE FUEL LINE IS ROUTED BEHIND THE STARTER AND IT RUPTURED DO TO RUBBING ON THE CLAMP THAT IS SUPPOSED TO STOP IT FROM VIBRATION. IT COVERED EVERYTHING IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WITH FUEL ALONG WITH THE STARTER. IF I HAD USED THE STARTER I AM SURE THE RESULTING FIRE WOULD HAVE DONE A HUGE AMOUNT OF DAMAGE. THIS IS A VERY STANDARD PRACTICE OF KENWORTH TO ROUTE THE FUEL LINES THIS WAY. I HAVE TALKED TO MANY MECHANIC'S THAT SAY THIS HAPPENS VERY FREQUENTLY. *NLM
