Snackbar is chillin'....at Shaffer

Managed to get the truck to the Freighiner dealer 9 miles away(thru 3 stop signs and 2 redlights), without being able to disengage the clutch...then where I parked to check in isn't where they want it, so I had to finagle it out of a parking spot and pull it out back where they want it. It truely would have been a lot easier if they wouldn't have put a neutral safety switch on a manual transmission so I could start it in gear...but I managed. Keeping my fingers crossed that it's something external, but when I called breakdown to get another issue resolved (the weaping injector seals that have been getting a little worse the last few months) they were already getting ready to book me a hotel room...I hope that isn't a sign that I may be here a while. I didn't see any empty trucks on the yard, so if they want me to swap, I am gonna have to go on a road trip.

 

They're probably netting more profit on that load than a 500 mile run.

 

No good news on the truck. They tested everything external and found no leaks. So it's either the master cylinder or the slave cylinder. And in a Freightliner, if it's the slave cylinder they have to pull the transmission because it's internal. So, I am in a hotel for tonight. They are waiting on the Freightliner corporate to recomend which way to go. Junkliners
