    Going to have to order that box on firewall on Freightliner that’s for the power to computer, with the battery shutoff switch, it died on me 4 times today.
    Bobtailed it to shop, so tomorrow that KW will be on my commercial policy and I can run it intrastate without markings if need be, but I get my signs made in west Memphis, there was soybeans going to west Memphis, I may do one to get that done.
    But I’ll first have to buy another $150 power cord with pigtail to run my electric tarp.
    Be a good trial run with not to many miles, and I’ll see how it performs.

    A 455st cummins, I figure st= smart torque

    Just woke up wide awake.
    I'm kinda funny.
    If I'm under a load and its gonna be a day, I tend to wake up early.
    I was in the bed with my wife, and it was as friendly as it could possibly be.
    But I just couldn't go back to sleep.

    I'm about ready to now.

    I am NOT a morning person... When I am at home I will sleep until 0900 or 1000 if I'm not disturbed, but I have 3 children... 2 of which are under 3 years of age. So sleeping in doesnt always work, especially if the wife wants to sleep in herself.

    On the road I do best if I can get at least 7.5 hours of sleep. I will get up when I need to be up to get the job done, no matter what time that is... Albeit I may do so begrudgingly, especially when it's between 0000 and 0500. LOL

    Unless there has had a delete or it's a glider, an 09 will most likely have the DPF (catalytic converter thingy) but not use DEF.

    DPF is part of the EPA 2007 regs. Most of the truck manufacturers stockpiled 2006 motors ( with EGR but no DPF) but that stock pile was pretty much used up near the beginning of 2008.

    DEF fluid was required for EPA 2010 engines, Again the truck manufacturers stockpiled 2009 motors, but stock ran out and the 2010 engines started phasing in during the 2011 model year.

    Back during those years I was driving big green, the 2002 international 9900,
    Still had single turbo C15 set @475.
    Now it is getting close to 1.7 million, but it did get an inframe and oil/water pump a little over 900k around 909k I think but I’d have to look at paperwork.
    But I didn’t have to deal with def/egr during those less stressful years.

    I trust you realize. As long as your turning miles? Going over mountain passes is never done.
