First major issue with my truck....

thanx dick.... .... oh wait, thats me.

 

Here's an idea Dick....

They said there were marks on the solenoid where someone was hitting it and they are saying KW will refuse to warrenty it cause of that? If so.....

Call them up and tell them you want a new solenoid put on the starter. Its gonna be a whole lot cheaper than a whole starter. If the starter works, you're good to go. If not? Tell the m to warrenty it and you want the new solenoid left in the truck.

You do it this way and they can't refuse to warrenty it!

 

Better not pitch a fit with the company. They control your freight. They will find someone else to take over the lease.

 

No; I would never work for swift. I sure would not lease with them.

 

I love this little feature!

 

then your opinion is irrelvent here. I could make $100,000 a year being a doctor, too...but i dont care to do that.

 

thats fine with me at this point. i'd rather keep runnin', but i'm not one to play games. Thats why my truck dont stay in swift shops for more than 24 hrs. Unless the shop staff is lazy, there is no reason a truck can't go thru the pre-qual line, and get fixed on the same shift or parts ordered and fixed on the next shift.

i could have stayed in Lancaster, and not run a mile, and have the starter fixed for nothing.....but i ran a load from Dallas to Iowa City, IA., got paid 800 mi., was at home for a couple days, and still have the starter changed in the same time period as what Lancaster would have. So basicly this run paid for the starter. Either way....its really not costing me anything.

 

and P.S. its not the solenoid. if it was, why does the truck start after it rolls forward a few feet? the pinion in the starter is hanging up on the flywheel...and the solenoid isnt the cause.

 

Dick, expensive repairs are part of trucking. Get over it. Or your not gonna make it.
We warned you not to take the lease.
Good luck to ya.
I don't think your gonna make .

 

p!ss off to you to...and hope you have the worst christmas of your life.....wanna be.
