Month ago had a rough running engine. Took it to Detroit, got the top set done, they found the injector harness plug, was corroded and giving weird pulses to injectors. No harness ANYWHERE. BACKORDERED....SO.... They took it apart, replaced some pins and re assembled. It worked great for a while but started to crap out again, and REALLY does it if you get into deep slush/rain with the drivers side front wheel...
So... the dilemma.....
The new harness is finally on it's way, told it was shipped today... had them air freight it. Have an appointment for Friday.... I'm 2.5 hrs from home, just did my last drop, do I go home and wait for it to show and fridays appointment, or do I go 13 hrs west and do another turn....
The wh%$@ in me says chase the $$$$
The scared little boy, (and i was when it dropped a couple cylinders sunday at the shipper for about 10 minutes)
Well, he says go the %$# home ya greedy ba$#@rd. Lol
...........
Help me make up my mind.....

Go home. Why? Because one of you’re last thoughts won’t be “Glad I did that extra Load before Christmas”. Might just be a good memory, with the family. You can always take a chance, I have plenty of times. Mainly out of necessity. Just have to figure worst case scenario. Will someone be able to bring the harness to you right away? Can you change it yourself if needed? It’s fairly simple to do. Can’t remember if jakes need to come off or not. Could even leave them disconnected, if pressed for time, working in a Blizzard on the shoulder in 20 degree weather. Doesn’t sound like much fun. Lol. Go home and rest. You won’t regret it.

I'd go home, but then again I'm always looking for an excuse. Plus, it's been a really good year.
So what have you decided?feldsforever, RedForeman, OldeSkool and 2 others Thank this.
