Paul Koerner is a ASE Master Certified Technician and will be presenting two different seminars at Carlisle Truck Nationals. Both seminars will take place in the Hospitality! Check out the event guide for the times of each seminar on Friday & Saturday.

Everyone Wants a Diesel Truck, BUT can We Maintain a Diesel Truck?
 
A diesel truck is an amazing workhorse. It makes massive torque and is very fuel efficient when towing or carrying heavy loads. In this seminar, our ASE master certified technician in LD/HD trucks will discuss how to keep your diesel engine at its best. He will also discuss what can you do to extend the life of your engine. Diesel emission requirements are also very complex. He'll simplify how these systems work and discuss ways to keep that dreaded 'check engine' light from giving you nightmares.   You will see diesel parts, explanations on how they work and how good these engines can be! Question and answer always are part of the presentation!

Transmission, Automatic or Manual, What is Better?
 
A truck can only move heavy loads, climb terrain and give reliable performance if the transmission is cared for. But what is best for you? In truth, it is all what you intend to do with your truck. Paul Koerner, ASE master certified service technician will help you to make an informed decision about caring for both of these in this seminar. He will cover the basic care and details that you need to know. Question and answer always are part of the presentation!

Join us Saturday as we lower the bar and lower our standards of measurement. We invite all of our lowered life pavement scraping friends to get down at the grandstands for the Low Truck Limbo. We promise DJ Rob will do his job and set the atmosphere, while we lower the bar for your enjoyment and look forward awarding the lowest possible performer of the Carlisle Truck Nationals limbo.

The Low Show has peaked the interest of those wanting to participate in the annual Frame Dragging Contest. As some may know, the trucks that have Titanium Blocks spark like crazy, but the ones without Titanium Blocks don't as much. In order to make things inclusive for all lowered trucks, we are judging on two categories within the same contest. We will crown three winners for trucks with Titanium Blocks & three winners for trucks without Titanium Blocks.

As an attendee, this just means you get to see more trucks dragging on Saturday night! The Frame-Dragging Contest has moved locations! The contest will take place at the Track on Saturday night.

If you want to participate in the contest, visit Guest Services at the event to sign up. Space is limited! If you like’em low and laid out, this is the spot to be on Saturday night!

The Carlisle PA Fairgrounds is a large footprint that can be a challenge at times, even for the most experienced attendee. 82 acres, 16+ miles of paved roadway, vendors and cars everywhere…it’s easy to understand how you may start wondering to yourself “where did I see that part or car I want to buy?” “How do I get my purchase from its space to my truck?” “How am I going to do this?” 

Never fear, because we’ve compiled a helpful list of ways that enhance your on-site experience at Carlisle! Thanks for joining us and enjoy your time at the show!

1. BRING CASH - The more the better. It’s hard to negotiate a deal without being able to pay.
2. WEAR COMFORTABLE SHOES - It’s a lot of walking.
3. SUN BLOCK/DRINK LIQUIDS - You’ll be in the sun all day. It’s important to protect yourself and stay hydrated, especially if your weekend outdoors is your first prolonged exposure to the sun for the year.
4. REMEMBER THE SPACE - Take a picture of the space location or write it down. Every space at Carlisle has a disk to designate the space. Look down and you’ll see the space marker. Write down the letter and number. Don’t try to remember the space or the surrounding area. You’ll spend the rest of the day looking for it.
5. COME EARLY - Rare parts and great deals typically happen for the first person to find them. Set up day(s) and the first day of the event are for the serious shoppers.
6. ACT FAST - If you see a great deal, grab it. If you plan to come back later, it will probably be gone.
7. NEGOTIATE - It’s a flea market so don’t be afraid to make a REASONABLE offer.
8. EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED - Chances are good that you will find something you weren’t planning to find, so keep your eyes open.
9. LOOK EVERYWHERE - Even if you are looking for parts for your brand of vehicle, don’t walk past the vendor selling parts for other models or generations just because you assume there’s no way the vendor has what you want. Give their space a look too. They might not only have it, it may be cheap since it’s not what they typically sell.
10. USE THE CARLISLE EVENTS APP - Use the FREE Carlisle Events app to easily find your way back to a vendor (if you know the row and space). You can also use it to check activity schedules, register for other events, connect with fellow enthusiasts via social media, browse a digital copy of the event guide and more.
11. STAY LATE – There are always deals at Carlisle, but sometimes the best ones happen early on day 1 of a show, or late on its final day. Vendors are typically more willing to negotiate when they are packing up – especially large items.
12. BRING A SHOPPING LIST - Our memories aren’t as good as we think. Write it down. You can even make a list on your phone. Take pictures of what you need.
13. BRING A BAG, CART, ETC. - Parts will get heavy so have a way to carry your purchases. Ask the seller if you can leave heavy parts until later.
14. HAVE IT HAULED - Carlisle Events offers FREE* parts hauling. Keep that in mind if you’re looking at an engine, transmission, truck bed, etc.
15. FREE TAXI SERVICE – Need to get from point A to point B but don’t feel like walking it? Carlisle Events offers a FREE* taxi service. Dial 717-960-6429 to secure a ride. 
16. ASK! - If someone has parts for a vehicle but not the ones you need, ask if the seller has it. It might still be in his truck or at home. Even if he doesn’t, he might know someone who does.
17. KNOW THE VALUE - Do some homework on the parts you’re looking for so you know if the price is a good deal.
18. AVOID THE CROWDS - When you arrive, go to an out-of-the-way area to start rather than following the herd.
19. WALK IT ALL - Don’t miss any rows. The Carlisle Fairgrounds isn’t a perfect grid so make sure you hit every row and space.
20. ADVERTISE - Wear a hat, shirt or signboard that spotlights what you’re looking for.  It just might create a conversation, especially if what you’re searching for is obscure and/or rare.
