This isn't a scam, this is a crime. Someone broke into your truck, and moved the fuse while you were away. That is illegal and borderline grand theft auto. Illegally modifying a engine of someone else's truck could cause damage, harm or multiple deaths of others.

Thanks for the heads up and will be investigating.

[@jwatson3388]

Thanks for pointing out! I am sharing this video with those I know in the industry. Hopefully this tip may help some of you. Put a unique colored, single use zip tie around the fuse box. If someone accesses the box, the zip tie must be cut first. If you find the zip tie missing when you open your hood, then you know what to check first. Make sure to keep extra zip ties with you, in case you need to legitimately access the box and reseal it.

[@caaguilar82]

Great tip. Thank you sir. Maybe even use some seals.

[@michaelg.9791]

1) Make your hood lockable. (Easy diy for anyone with a drill & couple home Depot items). 2) lock that fuse box up, a bicycle lock cable & padlocks, should lock that up. . I'd do both & call it a day. If they could breach both these locks, they deserve to have it & Me shell out 8k. Happy trucking or steering wheel warming to some ya. 🙄

I've been in the truck and industry as a company driver, and an independent driver. Drivers have been scammed ever since I've been in this industry. And most of the scams actually come from the Carrier you're working for, especially if you are an Owner Operator. So there's nothing new here other than that item that is referring to. And I'm kind of puzzle that you cannot replace an item on a truck which is that critical. That is actually illegal and against the law. The Manufacturers can be held liable. I see a Class Action lawsuit in the future.

[@californiadreaming9216]

dan hi thanks for your comment. I am no fan of FL, sickened with being gouged over the years. But to be fair, regarding lack of CPCs - no judge is going to find FL liable if they are unable to buy CPCs from electronics manufacturers whose production either slowed to a trickle or completely stopped during covid. FL does not manufacture their own CPCs, they are outsourced (possibly Bosch).

[@anthonyburdine2873]

Ive always hated how you can open the hood of a Freightliner without any type of internal lock, for a few reasons I'll keep to myself.

Avielectronics is one company we use. Have been very well. People are stealing these left and right. Also the reman ones are trash stay away from them.
