The journey begins - purchased a truck.

February so far -

Pulled out on the 3rd - in position for delivery on the 10th. Swung through home last night.

One long load - 70' long, Two was supposed to be 70', but grew to 10' wide - Three was a 53' full tarp outside in the snow legal load.

480 dead head miles and 2330 loaded for a 80/20 split - an improvement on the usual.

$7950 to the truck.

Had to push the CPA off till I get back - Wednesday. I like to get that out of the ay, but I was out on the original appointment date and it dumped snow enough where Gretchen didn't feel comfortable going down there.

Block heater is no longer operating - so that needs to be replaced. I think it lasted 2 years, I use it regularly in the winter - hate cold starts. @Hurricane69 and I will eventually solve the low air buzzer and moisture problem, aside from that we're mechanically functional.

Waiting on some work that should bolster the New Years' efforts - patiently. Trying to strategically remain busy - if that makes sense.

 

@Hurricane69 and I have been having issues - somebody else suggested re-wiring ends and going to Freightliner or Fleet Pride supplied sensors. Hurricane is chasing moisture problems - Mine seem to come and go with moisture/temperature conditions also.

I may try the Fleet pride/different brand shot this week when I get home.

 

I was told temporary air pockets with the motor running.

I know - growing up with electric kettles, if you ran them anywhere close to dry they would fail quickly.

 

Neither did I - but this is something I'd always been told too - makes me curious . . .

 

Mine is Detroit 12.7 and is located in a short manifold - external from the block.

@spyder7723 - is the system only under pressure at 180 degrees - therefore, at 30 degrees, air gaps may occur?

(Thinking out loud - I barely passed high school Science class)
