    I used to get down to 11 psi or 10.5 at idle right off highway. The Lucas pushes that to 13. Think 77k tanker in pa hills. I don't like 10.X psi.

    What weight is your Delvac?

    So the OOS this morning did not come with a citation, but killed 2.5 hours of my day for the mechanic to come and do what I could have to make DOT happy. Of course because it was OOS at a POE it required the mechanic to sign off on work prior to departure, essentially a $225, 5 minute fix.

    That’s the obvious conclusion, based on the information. The last 140 yrs since the Industrial Revolution began, has had a compounding effect. The EPA is never satisfied it seems. Funding is used as a Political football, with thousands of Superfund clean up sites put on hold. Meanwhile moving the goalpost every time it’s met on other issues. It’s all turned into another Big Business with questionable interests.

    They wouldn’t let you fix it?

    Just heard a story about an OTR Driver currently hospitalized. Hole cut in his throat pumping oxygen into his bloodstream, 45 yrs old otherwise healthy. He said he wishes now he’d hadn’t listened to all the BS, on Talk Radio.

    No, required a mechanic to sign off on the work. So even if I had used my repair items I'd have still been charged for the mileage and service call minimum 2 hours labor.

    I have the same, exactly why I’m not a Candidate for Covid.
