    It does not sound too promising. My truck still seems to be on schedule.... And I make sure I purchase that extended warranty. Dam it.

    Well my truck is back on the road after 4 days in hotel the SPN CODE 1569 is a bad dozer valve again! according to Pape KW! the funny thing is one was just put on in SLC KW ! but I also found out that SLC KW used a dozer valve they had sitting on their shelve for over a yr or more ! and I got a shock from Pape KW on Monday they were as nice as can be !they went out of their way to accomdated my needs ! proberley because I did metion to SLC KW how their attitude was towards drivers in general ! I found out today that my sentiment reach the KENWORTH corp !what was said I don't have a clue! so drivers and O/P stand your ground ! with a heavy load 44+ I managed to keep it the low 7 mpg ! will advised later progress

    My truck has built as scheduled and it is with the shipping company now. It will be about two weks when I can put my hands on her. Now I just have to find a decent buyer for my old rig. I hope I should not keep it as spare truck.:biggrin_25523:

    Was the 8.3 off the computer or calculated after refilling?
