    Dude, I have no idea how to dress. I leave for work and it's 80. Overnight, it gets down to 45. Should I just bring an entire wardrobe with me?

    Well it wasn't the DEF filter. I don't think it was anyway. Once I took the cover off the filter, I could tell the one that was in there wasn't very old.

    Changed it. Waste of $140.

    All the lights came on. Pulled the speed sensor to take it to freightliner, went about a 1/4 mile, all the lights went off. Now the MIL light is on.

    Gonna drive it and see what happens.

    I’d say Bad ground...but with your electrical contractor experience I’m guessing you checked that.

    I already know what Freightliner is going to say.


    ONE BOX.

    yeah......now my ABS light comes on at random times......loaded and bobtail......I've decided that it's all a communist plot to overthrow the king of my castle. I'll ignore it, but I'm not derated either

    The OM said OneBox wouldn't come back to life, they just die. No Nox codes either, just the one DEF code. YouTube has another video the guy changes the def valve tree on the side of the OneBox, that's where his obstruction was. It has screens in it that get blocked. Said they can be cleaned.

    Hoping The Lord takes me across the path of someone that knows, or better yet can fix it.

    Til then The OM said "HAMMER DOWN!!!!"

    ABS light on tractor could be brake pedal position. There's a micro switch up there that clicks open if it drops too far. It just wears out.

    Yes. But you must understand how traumatic of an event it would be for the people at Landstar to send it to you ( like they used to ) at the same time they send you everything else.

    This extra step creates jobs and helps to stimulate the economy.

    @Opus I'm receiving recruiting literature in the mail from Schneider. I'd appreciate it if you'd have them cease that activity. Not to mention that's money that could be put toward driver compensation.
