[QUOTE="HomeDelivery, post: 1322098, member: 33696"] so this stepvan, in general, are pretty good in design/longevity until i saw the following:[ATTACH=full]13010[/ATTACH] :dead: crappy plastic gets brittle over time & cracks... wtf was freightliner thinking of putting a plastic piece on a part that has a load most of the time?!? most other make/models with a swivel-type gas pedal have a [B]metal pin[/B] on that location... so off to the hardware store: [ATTACH=full]13011[/ATTACH] either use a locking nut or some loctite on the end... [ATTACH=full]13012[/ATTACH] come on freightliner, pinch your pennies elsewhere... i did have this pedal came off on me 2x now & it didn't affect the driveability of the vehicle, so i fixed them when i was done with the route. (of course the contractors who owned these vehicles re-imbursed me for the cost of the bolts/nuts/washers) i feel sorry for those that have it break at the other pivot point near the other end... just like on a $$$ MERCEDES $$$ one: [media=youtube]HTlnEZ-HK2o[/media] [/QUOTE]
