    One of the harness's is the culprit so far,and since it happened when I first bought the truck hopefully it's covered.

    well my 2012 Peterbilt 587 paccar powered turd is still currently in the shop. If they ever make it run again I plan to just bring it home and park it. Due to its far cheaper for it to set here than it is for me to keep having to go get it and haul it back over and over again to MHC. Past 2 almost 3 months now, 5 times in the shop. I think the guys @ the shop cringe when they see the truck come in. Where over 10k in and counting

    I think the biggest problem is that your dealer doesn't know what he is doing.

    Well for a fact I can tell you they don't. This problem has been going on since march. truck has been in the shop more than its been out with $$$$ running like a hose full of holes. Its still there now and has been on this trip going on 17 days now. they spent the first week trying to tell me I had a bad u joint and drive line that it wasn't a miss. Well the codes said different. Then they spent a few days trying to convince me that the ecm was detecting that vibration and that's what was throwing the code. I called BS on that right quick. Finally they got some one from paccar to take a look at it to tell them it has a bad pump and 2 bad injectors. MHC KENWORTH is the worst ever!!!!!
