Man I sure hate to hear that. What brand engine is it? I know it’s too late either way but I’ve utilized Cummins XT1 Encore 2nd owner warranty a lot in the past. Something to think about when buying a used truck in the future. Sorry again about your bad luck.

Today was a first. I grabbed a shower at the TA really early this morning. I went to turn the deadbolt to leave and the knob turns but not the deadbolt. I was locked in the shower stall. Luckily, I had my phone on me, I usually leave it in the truck. I called the counter and they came to let me out. He bent the first key, because it wouldn’t turn for him either. He got the backup key. After a few tries, it finally turned. One of the girls had her phone ready to call the manager that I was trapped in there. I told him you might want to take that shower out of service until you get a new lock.

This month has worked out pretty well. I deliver Friday in NY and be looking for a long haul back to the Midwest so I can go home next week. I might hit 20k this month and about 1.90 on all miles if I find something a little decent. This Friday will be two whole weeks of running East of 81 and North of 76. Lots of short runs.

####, 290k miles and the bearings failed? Did that truck have oil changes done before? What fleet did it come from?
I would expect something like that from Cummins, but have never heard of a D13 failing that early. -

Scary stuff. I'd love to know the outcome. I'm no expert but I've never heard of this in that low mileage of any motor.

I like the Volvo, but this one I got has had a lot of issues. Several sensors, turbo actuator, fuel spirting out of the line to the 7th injector, only getting 6.2 mpg, and now this. When I drive a 2012 Volvo at Knight with a vanilla fleet spec and a 9 speed, I was getting 7.2. This truck has the Ishift, down sped drivetrain, and an APU. I thought it was a good deal with such low miles, guess not. I’m only planning on keeping those trucks two years, so I can get new stuff, these used trucks will put you out of business. I’m renting a truck from the carrier right now so the driver can keep moving. The Freightliner seems to be doing well. Had a few corrosion items to fix, batteries, a new fifth wheel, but is doing pretty good, 7.6 mpg on that one.
