Good Night From II

Does it smoke when it runs?

 

33940 is still plenty legal. Fill up with fuel and go. Why would they pull u in for 34 and change when ur under 80k? Have you ever had that happen before ?

 

Nope. No smoke.

It runs normally for, like I said, a few minutes to around an hour.
Then it shuts down. turns off.

 

weight of tandems was when I weighed it at ex 9. 350 miles from where I picked it up.
I have only gotten 1 overweight tix and that was in a box truck.
2 thousand over gross. company paid tix.

 

was at our terminal and saw a truck smoking alot than I thought normal.
banged on his door and he said it was bunk heater and was ok lol

 

desert center ca at a dirt lot.
other driver had a family emergency.
so I picked up load in jurupa terminal and Tcalled at pheonix terminal.
grabbed this load and made it here for the nite.
live load appt at 1930 in sante fe springs ca. so no hurry tomorrow
not sure if he gonna run next trip or not.

 

Monee, IL at the Pilot.
I have a 1200 appointment tomorrow at the Manteno terminal for a b service, so I can get the bunk heater checked out once again.
Hopefully they have someone that can actually diagnose and fix it.

 

Chances are the tech will turn it up full hot and after it works OK for 20 minutes call it good. The bunk heater in my 18 Kenworth would routinely turn itself off rather than cycle on and off. Neither KW or Swift could ever figure it out.

 

Knowledgeable techs are hard to find, it seems.
That is exactly what happened at Edwardsville.

I was in a ProStar many years ago that had a chronic transmission output shaft leak.
6 different shops did exactly the same thing... replace the output shaft seal.
I finally got sick of it and told a shop that it was NOT the seal! LOOK at the history of this.
There has to be a score on the race, so replacing the seal will do nothing.
They looked, they saw, and replaced the housing, finally fixing the problem.
But I had to tell them where the problem was, with my backyard mechanic skills. Very sad.

 

Qualcom techs are the worst! I had to threaten to terminate my lease in order to get my Qualcom fix on my 1st truck. The head of the Qualcom division (in PHX) came to the shop and correctly diagnoised the problem in less than 5 minutes. I was having ongoing issues with the Qualcom in my 2nd truck when it took a dump @ Lathrop. The shop manager had me pull up to the door, took his best guess and managed to fix it first try.
