    Gotta love new trucks! I'm at CIT Kenworth in Joliet. Been blowing a plume of blue and white smoke since the 90 something. The turbo downpipe is leaking, but that doesn't explain the generation of the smoke, does it?

    Husker I think I may have has the same issue as you? Didn't you have a flexpipe break near the turbo? Did you get a bunch of smoke?

    Yeah it was just a busted flexpipe. The thought the smoke was
    the urea burning off.

    Yeah, isn't Tamaqua just wonderful? It's always backed up coming into town northbound. The lights are too close together and not timed right so it just jams everything up, especially in the late afternoon.

    That's just ridiculous. Too bad a lot of cold storage places are like that. I must admit, I think I got lucky at Americold in Atlanta last week. Arrived at 7:30 for a 9:00AM appointment, got a door and was backed in by 8:15. Took about an hour to unload, and then about another half hour to get counted and checked in. I was finished and rolling by 10:00 AM!
