    @ExtremeUnction i agree with chralb... it might go out after running awhile... I have had that issue and it does normally work it's way out.

    But, no need to "advertise" to the LEOs that you have an issue... they can't see that engine light on and that engine light could be caused by any number of reasons...

    ABS... get passed by a cop and he/she sees it... oh snap... little different than internal stuff that isn't obvious from the outside.

    Safety Always First...
    Frugality Second...

    Avoidable Tickets...
    avoid them... LOL

    It's a good idea to carry a roll of black electrical tape. ;)

    Yup... it's your CDL... it's your career.

    Work with issues as they arise... big or small... but in the big scheme... a simple repairing needed, is less important than protecting your CDL and career.

    And Abilene might be a bit too frugal at times, but they want their drivers safe too.

    It's ultimately your call, no one else.
    If it's a mistake, so be it... learn and grow from it... but a mistake to err to the side of safety is not the worst thing.

    Let us know when it goes out or if you need support making the call to get it fixed.

    Stay Safe,
    MD

    "But officer, the truck isn't showing signs of having issues."

    Oh craaap... maybe I need to run it back and return it.... they didn't say a word about the upper bunk bed full of beer and liquor after the X-ray truck was done... I just assumed a shot glass would be ok...

    If you include a card, please feel free to sign my name to it as well. Thanks.

    I hardly go anywhere without good 1700 electrial tape. I shudder at the cheap stuff. (Been shocked too many times).

    At Crocjuice in Wytheville waiting on marching orders. Sent in my request. If I don't hear back shortly, I'm headed to the Flying J for a shower. I only have 2:59 on my 70 until midnight anyways.
     
    Lonesome Thanks this.
