    i sur aint the sharpest tool in the shed--but unless youi have a really old truck--the shutdown engine pretection should have cut in before it ran very long--not sure if that would save it or not --but sure shouldnt run to long

    well for all you guys who say they make you start the truck....what i forgot to tell you is that there was an air leak that was suppose to be fixed next. now what do you have to do to build air pressure????? start the dam truck!!! The very min this happend i asked for a rental truck and they refused to admit guilt, therefore refused to rent me a truck. when the volvo dealer determened that it was without a doubt there fault they sent an adjuster and determined that it was cheaper to call the truck a total loss. everything they have done has been in there best intrest. they dont care that i have lost my income and til this day have no truck!! NO I dont want a big payday to whoever said that, but they owe me what they cost me. its there responsability by law to make me whole. meaning getting me to the point i was at when i drove into the shop. bearings dont freeze to cranks when engines are off!! bottom line!! they did this and they dont want to pay lost wages or replace my lease. These people are as shady as they come!!!!!

    Most engines have sensors that if the oil pressure is low it will shut the engine down.

    So, when you started the engine you did not hear the clanking and note the lack of oil pressure on the gauge?

    I pulled into the TA in Hudson, WI, exit 4 on I-94. Went in to use the restroom and grab a sandwich. I went to the little heated case to grab a cheeseburger or something. All they had were breakfast sandwiches. Ok. It's 2:36 pm. These were made at 4 am. That's over 10.5 hours. That's a long time. So when I asked she said "Oh, the truck drivers want us to keep them out". I said I was one and how can you sell something you made and have sit for 10.5 hours. I got a whatever. Never stopping there again, or any other TA. They are the most overpriced anyway.

    You will be going to another TA, you could get someting else and keep it moving, its just another day. I'm pretty sure if you get stuck in traffic for 10.5 hrs you are not going to quit driving all together. Everybody don't let stuff like that bother them, these facilities can't make everybody happy, some drivers might request it stay out there and you might not. Ignore it and keep moving

    Sometime we make the simple stuff be a big problem. A lot of things they cook I don't eat, that don't mean I'm going to stop going to TA.
